The Chaos Cultists were primed using a Desert Yellow Army Painter spray primer. I then used a variety of Sharpie pens to add different earth shades to each model. Metallic Sharpies were used to highlight the metal areas.
For the Possessed, I used metallic Sharpies to highlight many of the areas on each model after first priming them black, (with a zenithal overprime of dark grey). The purple areas were then Sharpied over using a reddish pink pen.
I dipped all the models using Tudor Mixwax Polyshade. I used regular acrylics to paint the bases and added some flocked foliage to complete the models.
I think the models turned out fine for the time spent, and they complement the Black Legion Space Marines well. However, these models also showed me the limits of the Sharpie painting approach as I found the paint job to just barely achieve what I consider tabletop quality. Still, sometimes getting painted models to the table is more important than a quality paint job. I plan to use all the model for a One Page Rules Kill Team, and for that purpose, I believe they will serve me well on the battlefield!
