NOVA 2024 Locked in

 


NOVA 2024 is only a week away and I'm all done with my prep. Which included painting up a whole army and retrofitting a display I was planning on taking last year but didn't happen do to health. 


So I made up what I needed for a 3k list and started on making it happen. It was a pretty heavy undertaking for sure. I wanted to go with NMM for the models as I figured the gold would really pop for the Emperor's Children. A force of Loyal Emperor's Children, bringing revenge to all who would turn their back on the Emperor!  


I wanted to go with my dirty worn look but it was a challenge with the third as they are supposed to be all polished up. That made the NMM tougher as I was trying to figure out how to dull it down. I go back and forth on it but I think it looks decent at least. But I now know why some of my quality painting friends saw they will never paint an army again. NMM takes a lot of time and painting up a whole army.

I really used these guys to try new and different effects (for me at least). I also did some freehand just for fun to add some flair.


I meant to take some solo model pics but forgot with other stuff happening. I'll probably get some there or later after and now I have them all packed up in their cases. They are ready to go. This is the earliest I've been done and ready for NOVA which is nice so I can rest a bit before going into it all.
