Violent Traitors in Violet - A 6mm Project Begins

I did it again. I started a new system. Legions Imperialis has caught my eye ever since it came out but I had never taken the plunge. There is something appealing to me about looking down at a battlefield with a birds eye view. I feel like a commander, not a warrior in the thick of combat. Sitting in a commander's chair with datascreens and holograms, receiving news from the front. That's the idea anyways. I haven't tested the game out yet. I decided to go with Traitors this time - Emperor's children. My main army in 28mm scale is Ultramarines so a bit of a change was needed. Plus purple is my favorite colour! Also a tip: I don't know if it was chance but my pot of Xerces purple had absolutely crap coverage. More proof that switching to vallejo is the right call
Paints used: screamer pink/macragge blue (temporary until I can find a better purple) leadbelcher titanium white (AK) Greedy gold (AP) drybrush with genestealer purple and use 3:1 ratio of darktone to quickshade medium. Then clean up white and do sparing highlight on infantry with genestealer purple
