Small update on the Storm Raven front. I’ve painted some freehand icons on to the wings. I’m really happy with the outcome of these. They’re completely flat, but have a raised look to them. You might also notice I’ve used a really dark blue to...

WIP: Tyranid Hierophant Biotitan #12

The front claws are complete. This just leaves the back legs to paint and the model is complete. I added some glazes to the claws to shade them down to brown. It’s just helped tint them a bit darker. I’ve also continued with the purple...
