Stormcrow and Viper bathing in oil

Final tweaks

Before getting to the oils I did some last minute changes to my minis. The Stormcrow got a few blue marks onto its back as it had nothing there before. Viper's fists were painted dark grey for variety and those I also drybrushed with lighter grey, and then I re-repainted the AMS dome blue because I didn't like the unpainted steel there that much.

While working on these paints I also painted the hex bases so that the grey mess wouldn't catch my eyes constantly. For both minis I painted the front hex edges in blue, the others in dark grey.

Pin washes

Somehow I didn't feel like playing with the gloss varnish on the minis, I just sat the pieces on the crappy painter's tape I had for extra holding spots and pretty much covered them with Abteilung's Sepia.

On the first run I cleaned up what was cleanable with an eyeful. As usual, the photos revealed what I had missed but I rarely declared perfect results after just one run.


All this took an hour. We were at 2h 20mins now.
