so you dont think it be too much of a imersion break to go with grey instead of red?

IMO continuity between your 30k and 40k armies would increase immersion. Consider that out of hundreds of thousands (or whatever) of heresy era legionnaires, we've had a minority described to us directly. Who's to say your slice of that pie is wrong? I think there could be no greater way to forge the proverbial narrative than to take ownership of the background and create an army's story over a 10,000+ year span, the way you've done. Some might feel this is "doing it wrong" and that's not an invalid point of view, but to me it seems strange to take the fluff of a fictional universe so seriously that one thinks there is even a right or wrong way to begin with.

update on the SoH front mixing paint.

I haven't read this plog in a while (the shame, I know...) but I have to say: I was totally digging your conversion work on the BaC dreads. Really great reposes, and surprisingly removing the ornamentation made them look so different! Then I saw the trim and my eyes dang near popped out of my head. Really, jaw-droppingly well done. I especially love the way the chaos star wraps around that one shoulder. Just stunning work, as usual. Stunning.

That extra work is extremely impressive and your skill at doing that definitely doesn't make me jealous at all. ;)

 

The leg reposes on the tacticals look great, if you get the time I'd love to know more about the process involved and maybe see a wip shot or two. The contemptors are absolutely stunning - that one with the chain, second from the left in the group pic, he's so dynamic it's hard to believe he started life as the BaC model.
