The second squad of the Death Wing terminators has been completed. With this squad, I am finished all units of the starter box and now only have the Commander and Chaplain left before I can officially declare the starter box painted.
This second squad showed me the limitations and perils of the Army Dip. The dip became extra thick and it was very difficult to remove the excess. As a result, the whole squad came out looking a little muddy and I had to spend time re-painting and cleaning up the extra dark coat to bring back some of the original colour. Especially on the open sloping areas like the shoulders and back there was a distinct streaking effect. The final result is still very much solid table-quality, however, I am not happy with how the minis turned out.
I have thinned the dip with distilled turpentine for the next time. Hopefully it will work better.
What's next for the Dark Angels? I will get a couple of more games in and at this point the main problem I have is getting my Tactical Squads into the action. I think a Rhino or two are in order.
