Once again, there has been a little bit of fear combined with a lack of time to paint. But I have overcome again! I decided to get in there and do at least one set of wings so I have an idea how they will look. Simple formula: I painted on Ice Blue, brushed on some Space Wolf Gray and then highlighted with Skull White. I'm happy with how they came out, though I think I will ink the crevices a little. That's not going to come until a liter time, though. I'll finish all the wings on the other three sides before I do that, I think.
I'm also think that I'm going to re-do the halo. I should have undercoated the points with brown or yellow but I tried to paint directly on black and it just doesn't sit right with me. That should be a simple thing to fix. I could do that with a short amount of time. Maybe I'll get to it tomorrow, maybe not. Either way, now that I have one side mostly done, I'm feeling even better about the entire project.
I have one little secret to tell. I picked up a Shrine of the Aquila and most of a Sanctum on EBay. I shouldn't have and, to be honest, I messed up in my bidding and ended up paying a few dollars more than retail. On the other hand, I did get some extra floor tiles out of it all. Scant comfort, but it's better than nothing. When it arrives, I think it will make a lovely Imperial shrine...
