Been doing some serious batch painting lately, working on three squads and three characters at a time. Decided to put finishing touches on to a squad of 5 close assault oriented Chaos Space Marines first. Tried some decals, and experimented a little on the order of paints and layers used. For example, the metallics (Pearl Green & Blue) were painted on at different stages for every squad and character. Small things like that, to maybe provide minor variation to the army's integral colour scheme and keep it more interesting to paint.
I decided that the flamer weapons in this army will be glowing fiery red and yellow. For the plasma weapons I will try more luminous red to pure white later on. Meltagun barrels might get that classic burnt iron look. Or could they be purple? And oh - I should probably paint those technical/texture paints (Agrellan Earth & Astrogranite Debris) on BEFORE priming and basecoating the models. For now it's tediously slow to paint them on the bases, because of having to watch out and not paint any on the models feet.
