Giant Update No.1

Progress Report : At the "dull first stage", laying in the basic flesh, blues, greens and the red helmet stripe. Flesh is GW Scorched Brown. Red stripe is GW Foundation Red. Green is GW Foundation Orkhide with a layer of GW Snot Green on top, washed with Green Wash. Blue is GW Foundation Necron Abyss (like the now OOP GW Midnight Blue) with a layer of GW Regal Blue and some GW Regal Blue/Enchanted Blue highlights, washed with GW Blue Wash. Base is GW Shadow Grey highlighted with GW Spacewolf Grey.

Lessons : (1). need more highlights on the base; (2). GW Blue Wash is strong and dries glossy if applied in too great a quantity; (3). GW Orkhide is a great Foundation Paint, cutting out the laborious GW Dark Angels Green/GW Snot Green/GW Goblin Green approach.

Next stages : highlighting the red stripe, blues, greens and base. Getting into the greys and the base yellows, which will really make a difference.
