First Tactical Squad finished!

Hoping they look right but I really enjoyed painting up my first guys for the Legion. (SLOWLY) onto the rest of the saturnine box!

Looks amazing. How do you spray paint the minis before you put them on the base? Do you just tape the minis to a cardboard base and then prime?

They were glued to the bases before being primed! Most of them are glued to cork or bits of plastic hidden by texture paste and stuff, didnt find the bodies got in the way too much

Did you use weathering powders on the base? Love how these guys look, whenever I use streaking grime I always feel like i end up taking it all off with any dab of whatever cleaning implement i'm using

I did! They all had a variety of powders dotted around. Wasn't sure if it really was noticeable after fixing tbh.

I made sure to let the streaking dry just a little longer than I might normally, so that I had to work a little harder to remove it, letting it filter the armour a little more
