From Gray to Black...

After several years of hemming and hawing, I've finally made the commitment to attempt painting Warhammer 40k miniatures. Over the weekend, I sat down and applied a coat of black primer to all the Ultramarines and Orks from the Battle for Vedros starter set. For good measure, I also primed (primered?) four pieces of Citadel scenery that I've had lying around for the past fifteen years or so. Next up, I'll paint the Ultramarines blue and the Orks green. Then, at the very least, they'll be more visually distinct on the table. I will try for additional detailing (e.g., gray or silver for the guns and swords), but my artistic skills leave a lot to be desired!
