Learning to use contrast paints: very early days. Moving straight from mostly metallics with the Necrons to this seems like a little more jump than is strictly necessary? But this obliges me to figure out new stuff, not just sit around on what I've already learned.

At some point I have to start learning basing. It's technically a secondary little thing from the Exaction Squad, or 'Judge Dredd 40K'. Gonna call it the Oppression Roomba.

Stages of progress on what's considered a fortification but is really more of a... highly armed wifi relay? More color (stone and ground and more metals), then refinement in the form of washes and highlighting.

Glued and assembled! Mr. Grenade Launcher, front and back. As previously noted, the thigh holster, the back belt, the radio on his right shoulderblade, the left pauldron.
