An Adeptus Arbites Proctor-Exactant miniature I painted last year for Warhammer 40000 and Kill Team, and a much older version of the same miniature I painted for Necromunda 20+ years ago. Both models have a similar pose - they are holding their shotguns by the barrel in their right hands and are pointing with the left. Both have very silly helmets with giant eagle crests.

These were painted a while ago, so I’m not sure exactly. They were somewhat batch painted and the initial metallic base coats were airbrushed. Probably 10-20 hours each?
