Painting the Covenant of Antarctica

This morning I painted up a few test models for my CoA. Other than picking out a few details they are complete and I am happy with the results, especially given the time taken. Still drying a little bit but here are some pics

I Started out by undercoating the models over a few days. I have also been undercoating my Necrons (pics soon) and for the first time in years nearly ran out of spray.

Undercoat completed I used the airbrush to give them a basecoat of Mordian Blue. Once that dried I gave them a Badab Black wash.
The wooden decking was then painted Khemri Brown followed by a devlan mud wash.
The guns and chimney stacks were painted Dwarf Bronze with a Leviathan Purple wash
The Propulsion System got a Chainmail coat then a Thraka Green wash
Finally the remaining metal parts were painted Chainmail and finished off with a Badab Black wash.

Also other than the airbrushed Mordian Blue the entire model was painted using my favorite Citadel Wash Brush.

On the next batch to save time I intend to try and paint the metal bits after the basecoat then wash the whole thing black or alternatively see if doing the purple wash over the Mordian blue basecoat and painted guns gives a good effect. Either of these changes should further cut down the painting time.
