A rusty box o' Smurf stuff.

 o/

I've been busy painting on my Battletech terrain but that isn't relevant to this blog. Approaching burnout on that project, I opted for a bit of a 'speed paint' on a primed, 3D printed Munitorum container that's been taking up space on my desk for a bit. 

Ya have to wonder what the radioactive contents are? Power armor/plasma gun power supplies? Or maybe just the space marine's lunch...

I knocked this out in a little under two hours, and it took that long only because of the time needed to apply a whopping 16 decals! I wanted there to be consistent markings on all sides, top and bottom excluded as those will likely be hidden under other stacked containers whilst in transit. 

A better view of the lower side markings which mimic those up top.

Originally primed black, this barely surpasses the 3-color minimum with Macragge Blue, Leadbelcher and Ryza rust being the only colors used. I went rather heavy on the rust but am pleased with the end result. Clearly container 190 has been in use for centuries...

I have two more of these still unprimed, plus an actual GW 'open' container buried somewhere.

In other news, the stars aligned this past weekend and Neverness and I were able to play a game of 40k! He has a battle report in the works, so keep an eye out for that here shortly! 

Here he is, carefully chronicling the proceedings in real time...
