2nd Half Year Painting Competition – Legions Imperialis Solar Auxilia Dracosans

Two posts in one day?

Not exactly, the Flash Gitz have been done for a few days but I’ve been too busy to upload them.  However, I’ve had the Dracosans built for a while as prep for painting, and they are not very complicated models, though they are very detailed.

As I said, these models are detailed, the increase of surface area due to all of the gaps, creases, and other details makes these models…

T H I R S T Y !

As previously explained in my Solar Auxilia Paint Scheme, the surface of the mini is washed in 50/50 Nuln Oil / Lahmian Medium.  Each of these Dracosans, despite the fact that they are Epic Scale, took 10 drops from my eyedropper of both Nuln and Lahmian!  Much more than comparable models of the size.

Next: Ork Trukk to complete Q3, and coming in September… something?  The Random Challenge will be upon me!  Hopefully I can make progress on the Solar Auxilia as well, because Q4 is going to be packed!  The Q4 “Finish It” challenge will be to finish my unfinished Battlefleet Gothic Tau fleet, which will be around 26 separate minis!  Add to that Q4 of the Orks which will be just as packed as all the other quarters!

There’s still a lot on my plate, but I think I can “open a hollow leg” like my Grandma used to say!  Metaphorically of course.  Stay Tuned!
