What did you do today.

[Spevna]

Hi spevna. The sprue looks decent. Any chance of a pic of what it will look like completed or where to get them?

Also, how much is a butt-load? Now I know a shit-load because I was constipated until this morning. But are we talking two ton Bessie? Or big Bertha? The chart must look like this shit-load. Butt-load. Ton of.

A butt-load is the equivalent of a B.B.B.B.B (Big Brown Bum Burning Bomb).

Here are the pics. I added an MDF base and some debris myself as I had an open class today.







I got them on eBay from a seller named mrs-velard. They are based in Russia but my order came pretty quickly. There are a couple of different terrain items. There is a more necromunda looking one (piping and techy stuff on it) but that costs a bit more, a whopping $4!!!!

They also have a load of Robogear stuff. It is great for those that like converting and kitbashing.

I should also add that it seems to me like they are not above a bit of resin plagiarism if you catch my drift

Saw these jehan. Thought you'd like them. The dreadnought is great.





Finally got around to building my daemon prince or Bloodthirster since he is for sure gonna be khornes badass.

@spevna. Lol. I bought the robogear flyer to convert into a 40k flyer. Thanks. I'll check out the terrain. It looks good.

Did my first Dire Avenger to test out the color scheme.

[Spevna]

Managed to get another one done too.


It's an oop guardian but the mohawk just screams DA.

I used the same guy as an avenger, too.

Why yellow with blue helms, btw? Are you thinking Iyanden, or is it all just a coincidence? (Yellow armour blue helms being the Iyanden scheme, btw)

Today I painted the washed infantry. I gave them second layers (highlights?) of a slightly lighter blue and then worked on adding a second coat of yellow.

I also assembled and primed a single cuirrasier model.

@ JR and Spevna: Good work. I really love the Buddha model on the Rhino. Although I'm not sure what the Inquisition will make of it.

@MiJ


The idea is that the whole army will be yellow but with pads and helmets picked out in different colors (blue for the DA in this case).

[jehan-reznor]

yeah pr_vanguard ,saw those slightly exaggerated aren't they.

Well as good as finished

[me_in_japan]

Today I actually (dundunduuuuuuuuhh) painted!

*people scream, run for cover, dogs howl wildly, etc*

No, really, I did. I put down a base coat on my support weapons. That's right folks - from here on in I'm packing D. I also kinda sorta highlighted the floaty bits, but the Mr. hobby clear blue is some damn strange paint and was misbehaving badly. I think from here on in Mr. Hobby clear and I will be parting ways. I got it as an experiment, and things just didn't work out. Back to the ever-reliable Tamiya clear for me, I reckon. So, maybe tomorrow I will manage some shadows and other highlights. Maybe, anyway - I'm at work all day for Eiken, and then an work gathering at night. Do these people not realise its a Saturday tomorrow, no?

Yeesh...

On the plus side, I got an email today saying my Eldar codex had shipped. Huzzah!
