Airbrush

I finally got a chance to play around with the cheap airbrush I bought in the fall.  My goal was to put a nice base coat down on all of the blood angels I have laying around.  I fell far short of my goal because I grossly underestimated the amount of paint I needed for a such a project.  I used a few different shades of Vallejo air paint (all red of course).  I've got more ordered to hopefully finish the base coating before it gets to flippin' humid around here.

First red over black primer
The finished product turned out well, I would like to have created a bit more shading on the model with the different colors I used.  However, I think I am going to get all my models to this point, wash them and air brush on one final shade.  The new citadel paints also look intriguing.  Particularly the darker more crimson wash and the red glaze.  I am interested to see how they would work with the technique I am currently trying.
Coat #2
Work has been a bit crappy lately, destroying my chances to get any games in.  Hopefully I can get one in soon.  I've got around 1200+ points of necrons and a bunch of newly painted cheater claw dreadnoughts just waiting to see some action.

yet more red
