From KyleC - USMC squad encountered - 45pts

Entering the Chamber of Darkness we encounter an unlikely of foes... 5 USMC models in black and white..

I actually had no plans to paint WW2 this time around but these showed up free with my latest issue of Wargames Illustrated and challenge to paint in black and white made for a good chance with these models.

Again more tests. And something that I really should investigate further on as it was a fun little project to do.

Started with overspray ING of white over black, and then a heavy dose of grey contrast paint applied.

With then Ivory added for the effect to come alive. There are spots I could improve but another aspect of this challenge to me is to balance quality and speed.

So this was another set of 25pts with 20 for the challenge. Netting me 45 pts here.

And off to the shoreline of the aquifer...
