Following the Pyke Syndicate, it is obvious that one needs to extend the Shadow Collective with the Black Sun. This will be also a two part effort, as I will be painting the original squad and then some proxies. Preparation The first step is to build some bases that shall become a bit of a...

... to continue and build up my Shadow Collective Force, I decided to create more Pyke Syndicate Core Troops by using proxies that I found recently.

The goal is to cover the skin, but not so much to fully opaquely cover the blacks and whites. Then I use thinned version of ProAcryl Tan Flesh... Continue Reading →
