Hobby Update: Warhammer 40,000 Iron Hands 004
Hey folks, welcome back. This blog focuses on a new addition to my Primaris Iron Hands force, a unit of Hellblasters (also from the Dark Imperium boxed set). These guys were fun to paint up, though a bit more time-intensive than the standard intercessors. Below are some WIP shots, mostly surrounding the plasma guns and how I achieved my desired effect. The body and weapons of the marines, for the most part, were painted in the same style and using the same methods listed in previous blogs, so I won't cover them here. The plasma coils and other effects, however, you can find here. A plasma gun with completed white casing. Step 1: To start, I painted the plasma coils a solid white. I used both Vallejo Foundation White 70.919 and White 70.951 to create a clean, even, and opaque coat. Step 2: Using P3 Arcane Blue, I created a wash with a small amount of my homemade thinner medium (4 parts Mop Glo, 5 parts water, 1 part windshield wiper fluid). I'll be layering this over the coils
