Repainting my White Scars

Hello, hello. I have been very busy with attending another institute that will some day give me a piece of paper to gloat about.  For now I wish to tell you about my recent development with my 30k army.  The 30k army I collect is the White Scars, fierce and honorable, FOR THE KHAN!

Today I have started to paint my white scars with a new technique using oil paints and weathering powder.  I never was good at painting when I first started out, more or less I liked playing more than painting and that lead to rush paint jobs.  This time around I plan to take my time and try and get a good looking army on the table then just one to push around.

So what my first lot of rushed scars looked like was this:
 
This was painted using this process:

1. Undercoat grey
2. Spray white with Scars white
3. Wash with nuln oil
4. Paint the large areas white again
5. Wash with 50/50 nuln oil/ agrax earthshade
6. then detail.

Now I have changed up and went through a new process and it goes something like this.

Undercoat Grey

Airbrush Vallejo Sky Grey 80/20 Vallejo White

Details and Battle damage then gloss and oils

Weathering Powders





Base and seal



And that's the finished product this time round took more time but was a blast to paint.  Head over to A Galaxy In Flames this is where my friends taught me the wonders of oil washes.

Anyway any comments are much appreciated thanks for your time.  Next time I'll spin you a tale on Astrid again where she has more fun with our wonderfully angry cleric.
