Rubrum Tertius
922.M41

Although their reconnaissance mission had been a simple one, the squad had been pinned down on the barren plateau for hours now.
Brother Cassiel had pulled one of his wounded battle brothers behind a small pile of rocks for cover.
There he was kneeling now, next to the remains of his deceased brother, swearing vengeance.
They had not expected to encounter any enemy activity this far out, thus the cultists had the element of surprise on their side when they streamed out of the crevasses in the ragged cliffs.
The squad had felled many but eventually had to retreat to higher ground so as not to be swarmed by the sheer mass of bodies storming towards them.
This is how they ended up on this Emperor forsaken rock.
But they would not bow. They would emerge victorious and they would purge every last trace of this cult. There was no alternative except to parish out here in the red barren desert of Rubrum Tertius."

I love it, I still have my old apoc before they started using the new armor.

I did some paint stripping and was able to save most of my old minis.

It's ok, no worry about the late reply.

I appreciate the answer and you did a great job! And thnx for letting me know what ya did. I'll have to give it a try on a few tester models.

I finally got a airbrush and im so excited to use it!

Sorry mate I just saw your message. To answer your questions:
Yes I did paint this.
For the gun I went with a base layer of red, inked it with a dark red ink (or nuln oil even, can't remember for sure, sry) and then highlighted the edges with a brighter red.
I used pigment powder to achieve the dusty red look on his boots. The rest is just painted in damage and chipping.
I think I painted this one in one piece but I often do sub-assembly and paint part seperate on bigger models.
Again, sorry for the late reply.

did you do this?

Did you use dry brushing on the gun with the red?
the gritty look around the boots is neat, how you do that?

Did you paint it all as one piece or did you paint each part separate?
