Warmed up to 2019 by finishing 5 32mm bases.

Also threw the first thin coat of red on a test model for the sororitas. I plan to finish her in the morning.

The red is a bit bright for my taste.
Good work though.

Thank you and I understand your thought on the red.

I settled on the bloody rose, and more specifically the bright red, because SoB are warriors of the ecclisarchy and, just like custodes, to me they should stand out from other imperial forces.

In today's progress I basecoated 3 primaris reivers and 1 tactical marines in mk iii plate.
