Painting: Master of Ordnance

This is another model that I started years ago, but I only got as far as priming him black and doing the first basecoat layers of the fatigues and the armour, so this is effectively starting from scratch.

He's part of the Regimental Advisors set, the other two of which I painted back in... Jesus, early 2018! So this guy must have been sitting patiently awaiting his turn for five years.

Sorry.

There's something very pleasing about painting these old, hand-sculpted metal miniatures. They're detailed enough without having so much going on that they're a chore to paint. They also have very open poses - being only one or two pieces - and so they're easy to paint without fighting to get the right angle.

It's also funny to look at scale creep when compared to the last model I painted. Or maybe Khorne just makes people taller as well as swoler.

Strangely, he looks better in this photo than the others
