Blood Angels Eliminators.
Not sure if they’re Done, but I’m done with them. Just needs an oil wash and some ‘light’ in the lasers and lenses.

Blood Angels Eradicators.
Recently finished unit. Probably should have painted the Aquilas, but whatever.
Blood Angles Apothecary Biologis WIP
Fantastic sculpt. Had a hiatus for a bit more than a year (moved to another house, busier schedule, kid started school, life stuff y’know).
Had a bunch of half-finished model (eg. The Eliminators/Eradicators above), but this is the first BA from scratch after the move. Spent the hiatus going deep into colour theory and redesigning my process,
So far I’m really digging the results on this guy.
Recently finished Imperial Fists Assault Squad and Bike Squad.
Part of my Pandemic Project. I wanted a vanilla First Born army, when Primaris took the spot light. Currently painting/building towards a Demi Company (Captain, Chaplain, Command Squad, 2 Dreads, 30 Tactical, 10 Fast Attack, 10 Devastators, 3 Rhinos and 3 Razorback ~ 2000 points).
New recipe for these guys as well, compared to those I painted before the hiatus: The Dorn Palette (yellow, purple, blue, white) + a warm black to mix Polux Grey for the bases. Yes, clever puns intended.
Forgot I also had to compromise with the ‘purity’ of the Dorn Palette and add a muted red as well for the Sergeants helmets. Recently I’ve found out they have this concept of ‘Sternhelms’ (Veteran Sergeants) who have black helmets, so might do that going forward. Generally my Sergeants/characters have bare heads, but that obviously wasn’t an option with the old sculpt.

Some recent loot.
KUM synthetic with ‘Memory Point’. So far very good.
Blockx oil paint. Used for recess shading/dark lining the Apothecary. Seems to be on par with other artist grade paints.
Golden High Flows (there was a sale…). Still too early to tell (haven’t used most of them), but just tried the Pyrrole Red tonight for a bit of highlights on the Eliminators and I have a feeling that’ll be a keeper.
Wintons for an upcoming project. Student grade can be a bit of a mixed bag, but didn’t feel like ‘splurging’ here. The Alizarin is just Quin Red - needed something colder than eg. Cadmium Red, but warmer/redder than magenta.

Bit more progress on the Harmacist. Very difficult to find time to paint these days 🤷

Last night I tried sponging on the base coat (I usually use a rattle can) and I think I much prefer this.
Black armour (knee pad, sergeant+ squad leader shoulders) is transparent turquoise (Golden).
Guns are transparent green (Kimera Phthalo Green) over red. It behaved differently than I remember, so end result is more ‘green’ than intended. Might have shaken it too much, so the matting agent made it more opaque?
Leather/aquila/purity seals is Red Oxide (final boss of opaqueness) shaded with the transparent green. Absolute joy to work with.
Next up is some bronze on the aquilas, decals and turquoise oil wash. I reckon the turquoise will look ace over the bronze.
