I saw Spack & stunty playing this over the AoS weekend a few weeks ago & liked what I saw...
Having played a couple of games, and the wife being as patronisingly enthuastic as she can be, I've taken the plunge & bought a few flights. I'll be kicking off with a couple of Imperial navy & Tau aircraft, before moving into Eldar.
So, Imperial to begin with, as they are he ones I'm most used to painting at a
40k scale & are much more 'straight lined' than either Tau or Eldar. I'm hoping that this will allow me to 'ease into' the 6mm scale before takling something more difficult.
I have approx 150-200 points of Imperial Navy stuff, depending on load outs, so I'm starting with the classic Thunderbolt to get me into the swing. The theme I've chosen for this flight is aircraft of WW2. My Thunderbolts will be going for the classic Me109 paint scheme wich made me run around holding my genitals as a small child:
I'm thinging it's either Fortress Grey or Space Wolf Grey for the underside & up the sides, with Codex Grey on top. Any thoughts would be appreciated, otherwise I'll get all my paints out & see what fits best...
The Thunderbolts are cleaned off & will be glued tonight, ready for painting this week. Updates will follow as I can be bothered!
