PROJECT: Sgt Jordan Reed -Command Platoon Colour Squad, 349th AF(R)

General Biakal –

there is a story behind this model... years ago i bought some catachans to use in necromunda. i had some spare so when i got back into the hobby 3 years ago i used them as like a test bed for the colour scheme. one loose set of legs with a bare torso took the colour so well, but i was sticking to the Cadian models so didn't do owt with it. so, many years late i have torso, trousers and boots painted very well, but nothing else. i decided to put somearms on, but the botom line is

I AM SHIT AT DOING SKIN.

so this model now is a bit of a mess and would never normally see the light of day. the arms are a totally different shade to the body and it looks rough. BUT.... iv noticed it looks just like Alex Reid!

so out of respect for alex, and Lt. Reed of Enterprise, here we have Sgt. Jordan Reed

Now I understand the look of terror on his face.

for the skin, if you're after a tanned kind of colour, why not try tallarn lazy flesh, and then a 2 part ogryn flesh wash with one part.. whatever the most yellow shitwash is.
Won't hurt for a test, aye?

For my IG I just use tallarn flesh and ogryn wash.

im right tho, yeah? it DOES look like alex reid?

im trying dwarf flesh with ogryn flesh wash... that seems better. on guardsmen with helmets its ok, but on catachans its more difficult for a doofus like me! i dont actually apply any skill you know... its as much luck as judgment and thats the truth. in some alternate reality my models look similar but shit.
