The first 3 models completed for my custom chapter, the Lunar Spectres.

The Lunar Spectres (also considered Selenite Wraiths for a while, let me know what you think) are an insular and disciplined chapter, from a tidally locked planet. Their fortress monastery was built in the cold, lifeless desert under eternal moonlight.

I had these conversions on my hobby desk for ages, just sat in draft stage all blu-tacked together. Eventually a couple of test models and a reddit post about the chapter symbol/name, pushed me forwards enough to paint them.

These are intended to be veterans of the company, so that I could explore all the flavour and bling before committing to batch painting a squad or two. Their loadouts reflect the Death Watch squad from new Killteam, as I'm hoping to use them in that.

Let me know what you think, critique and advice is always welcome as I'm trying to learn to improve!

These are my first FEC models and I really, really enjoyed painting them. I'm definitely going to have to buy a few more models and units, just for the joy of painting loads of flesh and bone!

I followed one of a few methods I saw in tutorial videos for the flesh, starting with a dark purple (barak-nar burgundy) base and then building up lighter and lighter layers with that same purple, mixing with a light yellow so as to brighten the purple without desaturating it too much. After building all the way up to the brightest purples/pinks, I glazed all the flesh with a purple midtone (screamer pink maybe?), tying all the layers together. This worked really well, so I'm documenting it here so I can remember it!

I also did a little conversion on Flensemaster Pewdrig. I didn't really like his odd dual wielding pose, so he has been given an old goblin shield and a little bird skull helmet. Mainly for the fun of it.

Hope you like them, critique and advice welcome as I am trying to get better.
