Pre-Heresy World Eaters

Hey There :D

Just taking a moment to explain my contributions here. I am currently working on Pre-Heresy World Eaters. This is the army I have chosen from the first book "Betrayal". This army appealed to me mainly because of the Primarch Angron, who I think is a badass in my eyes :D I also loved the colour/paint scheme that applies to this army (see details below)

In regards to myself, I am in fact the newest Battle Bunny, and this is actually my first Warhammer project. When I was much younger I collected Lord Of The Rings miniatures for quite some time but never moved on to 40k. Have always been tempted to do it but never found the opportunity. After getting a better paid job and having a Bunny as a manager, it was only a matter of time before I started!! Up to now I have acquired the start of my list and am massively enjoying my time :) I am a little bit of a perectionist, and am prone to making slipups so I know I will put my best efforts into this army and future armies I engage with.

In regards to the paint scheme I follow, I use the Forge World Painting Guide which is available to download from their website. This consists of:

Body:
1. Undercoat with Skull White
spray;
2. Wash with a mix of 25%
Drakenhof Nightshade, 25% Nuln
Oil, 25% Lahmian Medium and
25% water;
3. Lightly sponge Ceramite White
mixed with a little Lahmian
Medium to raised surfaces.
Shoulder Pads/Backpack:
1. Undercoat with Chaos Black
spray;
2. Basecoat with Kantor Blue;
3. Highlight with Teclis Blue mixed
with a little Lahmian Medium.
4. Wash with Body stage 2 mix above.
Brass:
1. Basecoat with Sycorax Bronze;
2. Roughly highlight with 50/50 Sycorax Bronze and Runefang Steel
3. Wash with Body stage 2 mix above.

This painting scheme is one of the few Pre-Heresy guides that are very accurate (there have been reviews that some schemes are not realistic to their images) but the World Eater guide is great.
