Update on my Devastator Squad. The three all new models in the back are complete. The two models in the front are older paint jobs which I’m refining. I almost completely removed the highlights all over and replaced them with finer, more controlled ones. The Sergeant used to have a Chainsword and Bolt Pistol but got a new Storm Bolter and a pointing hand, which makes more sense with 8th Edition’s Signum rules. The work on both models is about 90% complete, and as you can see, they don’t need to hide from the newer paint jobs in the second row. What do you think?
Stahly
The mysterious masked Stahly is the founder and mastermind of Tale of Painters. Hailing from Craftworld Germany, he has been walking the Path of the Warhammer Collector since childhood. Over the decades, he has painted multiple armies and countless warbands and miniatures. When he's not painting miniatures or working on his library of hand-painted colour swatches, he's testing the latest paints, tools and model kits with German precision and a no non-sense attitude.
I would have made barrel holes on storm bolter, still excellent paint job, just a minor fix 🙂
Really like the paint job on these
Only question I have is more Squad composition, as I have not seen the new Space Marine index. Why only one heavy weapon?
No worries, there'll be more heavy weapons. That's just the five models I've painted/reworked so far. Check out the complete squad here: http://taleofpainters.blogspot.de/2017/06/wip-ultramarines-devastator-squad-1.html
I'm Enjoying watching you working through these.
