Here we are with a test model for my upcoming Primaris Kill Team. Avid readers might remember I painted an Imperial Fists Intercessor a while ago, but since then, I changed my mind. Inspired by Paul Norton’s White Dwarf article about the economics of painting, his custom Primaris chapter, and Darren Latham’s Silver Skulls, I chose Silver Skulls, too. I wanted something grimdark and easy to paint, and the Silver Skulls paint scheme fits the bill perfectly.
The armour is just a wash of 1:1 Nuln Oil Gloss and Army Painter Dark Tone Ink [Nuln Oil] over a basecoat of Army Painter Gun Metal [Leadbelcher], then a gentle drybrush of Army Painter Shining Silver [Stormhost Silver]. Very quick and easy to do. The idea to mix Nuln Oil Gloss and Dark Tone Ink/regular Nuln Oil comes from Paul Norton’s article. The Nuln Oil Gloss reduces the surface tension even more, while the Dark Tone Ink/regular Nuln Oil adds some “body” to the wash and removes some of the gloss. Combined with some black, bone and red accents (all hidden by the pose, lol), we have a classic “Blanchey” scheme. The model is just waiting for some custom decals for the chapter icon, and I can start mass production soon. What do you think?

Thanks a lot, we appreciate any help to continue and grow Tale of Painters 🙂
Where are you getting the decals from?? It is the one thing holding me back from silver skulls
Actually those reiver helms would be perfect for reivers and intercessors alike for the Silver Skulls…
Very nice, I need to increase my painting productivity.
Can we see the other points of interest please? Or are you waiting to get the whole team done?
Cheers. I'm currently assembling the whole Kill Team and will take some pictures with other angles for the next post, promised!
Love it!
