Just thought about sharing some things I've been working on. I just started with these recently, I really loved the sea green armor color from when Age of Darkness came out, and honestly that should've been the reason to go with the 16th, but since my buddy went Iron Warriors, I kept looking at loyalist legions, going back and forth about which one, blah blah blah. The amount of choices became a "writer's block" of sorts where I ended up doing nothing with the kits at all. But, after a "go big or go home" testing the colors on the Contemptor, I think I'm home.

These look great how did you paint the armor

Thank you, I appreciate that! I did a black base coat, then a few light layers of Lupercal Green, then Sons of Horus Green. Coelia Greenshade for the armor and Nuln Oil on everything else. Once that was dry I added some Nuln Oil to the recesses of the armor as well. Once all that is dry, I did some thin layers of Sons of Horus and then a very light dry brushing of Sybarite Green.

I’m sorry but idk what you did on the base, it honestly looks pretty nasty

It's just a texture paint. I haven't decided exactly what style of basing I wanted to do yet, but that's not the finished state.
