Painting Sallies

And it’s always nice to drop in! Small humans good. I’m a super proud and very tired dad!

God I wish I was wild 😂

All good here! How are you, man?

I remember those glory days when I painted all of the 9th edition box 😂

Thanks Tari! I’ve been let out for my quarterly foray into social media 😂

All good here. Scratching at hobby while trying to keep small humans alive. Hope you’re good too ☺️

A white Apothecary Biologis marine of the Sons of Prometheus chapter, a succession chapter of the Salamanders. He aims his bolt pistol whilst striding across the battlefield, a large, strange container held in his right hand. The chapter colour of orange is reflected in details such as his tabard, apothecary symbols and container windows.

Close up detail of the container, green wrist-mounted screen and tubes containing orange liquid.

Well it’s been a while but I painted a mini.

Sons of Prometheus Apothecary Biologis.

Perhaps I’ll finish the Leviathan marines before 11th drops… (spoiler - I will not)

The point in my process when I think ‘aaah nearly done’, forgetting that these last steps actually take ages #nerdlings

If you see this, post a tank! 😄

You’re not funny

I wouldn’t expect or wish all that airbrushing on anyone, but that is my silly recipe 😂 Looking forward to seeing some orange!

Thanks Dave! I needed a very long recharge 😂

I knew I had it kicking around on here somewhere!

Love it! And totally agree about the Saturnine set

Cheers bud!

Thanks ☺️

I’m owning it 😂

Have screen grabbed this one for posterity

Thanks! And did I get the hashtag wrong? I feel like my dad attempting to post on social media sometimes 😂

Orange is the absolute worst colour to work with. Worse than yellow. I love it, but it’s hard work 😂

Also. PAINT AN ORANGE MARINE!

Batch painting five is a killer

Though, I have now discovered Two Thin Coats after experimenting with many oranges and yellows and whilst I’m generally a Pro Acryl fan, TTC’s oranges and yellows are absolutely a level above and made the edge highlighting far less painful. Highly recommend.

May I introduce you to… orange edge highlighting? 😂

I die a little inside every time I get to the edge highlighting 😂

Quick family photo of the latest Sons of Prometheus completed project before these dudes pose in the Sallies Studio for a proper shoot #nerdlets #warhammercommunity

Thanks. And not at all! I think I’ve just had a lot more practice with Caucasian skin and doing darker tones feels like having to unlearn a lot of my known methods. Good learning experience tho
