Meet the Lamenters

Inspired by Aventine's army, my Space Marine chapter is the unfortunate Lamenters.

Here's the first Tactical Squad I've (almost) completed and based. Variation in the paint shades is due to experiments with different washes and highlights. My current method is the one used in the models in the front row, 2nd and 3rd from the left. The sergeant is an earlier "cleaner" style.

I use P3 White Primer, then Army Painter's Demonic Yellow color primer to get them school-bus yellow. I use Citadel Gryphonne Sepia for a wash, and Sunburst Yellow for highlights. Guns are usually Chaos Black with a Boltgun Metal drybrush, and a Devlan Mud or Badab Black wash if needed. The shoulder checks are done by hand and the heart is Blood Red over Red Gore, positioned to cover any errors in the checkerboard.
