Painting stage 1

So here we go.  Assembled and under coated.  The first step to take is to paint them all black again.  Black primer dries a kinda faded or dusty black.  Plus, there is always a couple of area’s on the mini that didnt get a good covering.  Usually in the small indentations of armour etc.  So, what I do is give them a quick going over with a 50/50 mix of chaos black paint and water.  Once its done, the difference is hard to see, but it does ensure you are completely covered.  Here is a miniature after I have added the 1st stage:

Reminds me, I must start setting up my photo area with some white paper!  I’ll be using this miniature as I go through the various stages.

What I have prepared now is two groups of five.  Thats the 5 Neophytes and 5 of the CC Initiates.  I’ll completely paint these before taking the next two groups of 5.  I’ve been in two minds when to base them.  I still need to think about that some.  Also, the shoulder pads need under coated and added, but I’ll leave that for the moment.
