This week I've been repairing and painting GW Imperial Sector buildings. I am hopeful that I'll have them completed to useable state post the weekend.
By way of variety, I wandered into the local GW on Wednesday and purchased the Honoured Imperium box. This has three terrain pieces; a broken Aquila, the remnants of a window and a statue of a Space Marine. I put them together on Wednesday evening - 10 minutes - and last night sprayed them for painting.
Decided to start with the statue and here's what I came up with. The plinth is still to be finished but I was really happy with the metal and verdi gris effect I was able to achieve. The discolouration was done using a wash I made up a few years ago using a pot of the old Hawk Turquoise as a base but I'm sure GW's new technical paints give the same effect.
I will be finishing the plinth and painting the other two pieces over the weekend.

Nice and effective, the hawk turquoise based mix does look similar to the new oxide.
