Painting Challenge - August 2015

This month I aim to complete the miniatures list below:

• Finish two Marathon Class Heavy Cruisers (Halo Fleet Battles), both started in August.
• One British foot artillery battery consisting of twelve gunners, a howitzer and two 9 pounders cannon on three bases.  Bases will be textured and painted.

Here are the pictures of the current state of the miniatures:

I bought a copy of Halo Fleet Battles the other day.  So far impressed with the models, but haven't tried out the rules yet.

This is my first painted ship for the UNSC.

The colours are all GW paints.

1.  Eshin Grey in the recesses

2. Paint armour plates painted Stormvermin Fur.

3.  Paint a ceremite stripe.

4.  Wash whole model with Nuln Oil.

5.  Dry brush the armour lightly with Dawnstone then Administratum Grey.

6. Pick out some details in Administratum Grey.

7. Paint internal of engine Ceremite White.

8.  Wash Guilliman Blue.

9.  Paint centre of engine Ceremite White.

Hope you enjoyed this quick painting guide.
