What's the problem?
Looks good to me.

The paint just looked a bit blotchy rather than a smooth gradient like on places on the bastion. Of course it could be that these are super-close ups... I've no idea how big these pieces are!

I'll post a pic with something else for perspective.
I also like the minor spattering effect. On the actual piece I think it looks better.

Will try to put together a mock-up model.

Okay, so from a little further away, and placed on a reaver, this is what the front cowl would look like. Marine is there for size perspective.

Ah OK, these are smaller bits from jetbikes. I thought they were large vehicle bits! I don't know the DE codex I'm afraid.

In which case They look fine

wiz, they look great, and i even have a line for you to come out with if anyone else questions the spatter

''i just ran over your champion''




of course it'll be even funnier/effective if you actually had just run over the champ

Got a bit more done, in between darts and bowling and daughter's music concert and ...well you get the idea!

Started the second bastion.



This time I put the pale grey on first, then the scarlet red.



I think it gives a bit better contrast between the red primer and the scarelt red.

I also got the yellow base coat on the front cowls of the reaver unit.



Next step will be to start blending the red into them.

Got the red applied to the cowl of the reavers as well as the mithril silver on the rear blades.
There's also a brown basecoat on the seats that's a bit hard to see.



Now I just have to get the red on the main body, add in the black accents and finish the riders.
Getting there!

Keep it up..

They look really good as a set TW.

Liking the jet bikes TW. Can't wait to see some riders on them

While the bastions are not my cuppa tea, I think you have absalutly nailed the effect you were aiming for, kudos mate.

Are we talking about sigourney weavers cleavage in latex again?

Nice bikers (euphamism).

We are always talking about sigourney's cleavage!
And speaking about well made large things ( )

Got the second bastion done, did the scheme a bit different on this one;



And a different angle;



Here's the 2 of them on the game table with an aegis line between them;



And here, so now I have to do something with the aegis lines too! Crap!



So now they have to be weathered, which won't be too bad after getting many great tips from Herne (thanks again mate!)

Got a bit more done on the reavers, but I didn't like the way their drivers were coming out, so they (the riders) are sitting in a bath of simple green right now, stripping off the coat of paint I hated.
More to come.

absolutely beautiful mate

the spacing on the camo is just brilliant, a definate dazzle pattern


i honestly dont know which one looks better, the white work on the first makes it stand out, and the reds on the second makes it stand out even more, yet at the same time it makes it look... right, i really dont know how to describe it

they are certainly unique, and im quite glad to say ''i had a hand in that!''

but what you dont realise, is its the hand that is trying to steal them from your table! -yoink-

for the aegis line, why not mix the two patterns together a bit?

not so much like half of a then half of b split between them, but something like like half the bold lines from the first, mixed with the thinner lines of the second?

just an idea
