The interesting thing about this is that the gentleman that has commissioned me to paint all these units has provided exhaustive cue cards, detailing each colour and which stage it should be applied, at first i thought this would make the process easier, i but i found in the long run it made things a bit trickier.
When someone commissions you to paint models for them, you obviously have no problem with what colours you will paint the final product (unless perhaps they are requesting pink necrons!) but i found that having to paint certain colours using enforced techniques to be an interesting challenge, i've been painting for a good few years now and to not be able to use my full array of tricks was painful!
The models themselves are gorgeous, particularly the faces of the Snake-beasts themselves, they have a real otherworldly-ness about them that left me pondering whether i could convert them into Canoptic Wraiths or not (for future reference!)
They came out pretty well, and apparantly i have some Ushabti to paint next!
