This one was super quick:
Stone:
Undercoat: Vallejo Mecha Black
Base Coat: Citadel Morghast Bone
Pigment: Scale75 Soilworks Dark Earth SPG-10
That’s it. It’s a very speedy way of getting something tabletop ready in short order.
The door was painted with the same colours as the gangway. Speaking of the gangway:
This metal Space Marine Jump Pack Assault Trooper is a 1993 Jes Goodwin sculpt. He went by part number 0426/2.
Another copy:
1993.
The heavy bolters were a little bit smaller way back when…
Later shown as Space Marine armed with Heavy Bolter, part number 070121/48.
Painted but not based:
I tried my version of speed painting on this guy… which means about 2 days worth of painting effort.

Managed to get a couple of things painted today from the stone town Kickstarter – the undamaged flooring, the ruined level, the table and the wardrobe. It proved a lot easier to show what the accessories looked like on the damaged level than the solid one, so let’s just pretend someone put them there after the building was damaged!
Colours used:
Undercoat: Vallejo Mecha Black
Base coat: Citadel Morghast Bone
Recess pigment: Soilworks Dark Earth
Other pigments: 50:50 Soilworks Dark Earth and Vallejo Yellow Ochre
Wood base: Mournfang Brown
Lines in wood: Death Guard Green, XV-88 or Averland Sunset
Wood contrast: Nazdreg Yellow, Guilliman Flesh, Wyldwood or Aggaros Dunes
Metal handle on wardrobe: Leadbelcher

And done but for the base:
This guy lacks the purity seal on the belt.
This guy was the Commander/Captain model from the Command Group box.
This guy was part number 010110304 and was apparently seen as a Games Day miniature in 1998.
If you have been following along you’ll know we have an active Kickstarter for some cut stone terrain. The gangway is part of that set and is designed to go between two of the buildings – here’s my take on painting it:
