Someone elses project log (latest WD demons vs guard batrep)

For members to post long running threads about projects they are working on

Postby killmaimburn » Mon Jan 26, 2009 10:07 am

OK I hit crisis point on the walk back from dropping lily off this morning..Meet up in 9 working days... and [preps for excuses like you give your boss] my kids were both ill for 2 months, I did a bunch of demons which my group said couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag and were rubbish (so wasted time)....and well i've done a third of my orks... but that still leaves me 70 models to paint and 6 vehicles proxied with stuff- and GW might not like tonka toys unmodded :lol: )..
So I figure I'll just spend the last two weeks getting my marines looking more pretty..at the moment.. they look a very rough version of this guy
Image
As I indicted in a previous thread I'm struggling to paint nicely black (I'm suffering from noob picks templar paint jobs) so I'm adding more colour.

I'm adding brazen brass to the exhuast flutes of the back pack and eagle crest (the termies have lots of brazen brass so it fits the army theme).. The lower legs are going white (its a joke (my comedy sucks) that I did to peeve LH I gave my termies white shins and suddenly declared I played deathwing).
The gloves really will be grey (at the moment they are a lack lustre black or unpainted)
I'm adding drybrushing to the shoulders cos storm blue on a background of black.. just looks black.. so highlighting to get more of the blue richness out of it..
And I might even cary on my project of greylining the suits joins (although last time I did that I got really lazy and just started washing grey... looked fairly sloppy)
So far I've done my bike squads and my speeders to this level.. just a few hundred more to adapt.. (but its not layering and waiting to dry etc so I should be fairly fast)..
I do not think my models will be looking the greatest at the meet up..
There is still a part of me that wants to bring my unpainted and part built orks just so MAtt can face them.. but really, I'd have to wear a balaclava the way they look right now. [ends too many pans in the fire lame excuses and gets down to painting]

My allies are but pale reflections of my own magnificence!

I have always shied away from black armour...never been able to do it (which is why I have 10 termies and 7 "grey knights" chaos boys sitting there all glum, waiting to take part in the plague cult party).

But, in doing (about 30% of so far), my new boss man for the latd, he has a pow fist and just dry brush grey, wash black and deep black lining looks ok.
Mind you the fist has plenty of ridge detail to pick up the dry brush...

Why are you reading this?
Paint, damn you, paint like you have never painted before!!!

I'd love to play the orks but it sounds like you'd have to defy time and space to do it so let's stick with the marines :)

Re: grey-lining joins - did you try painting grey first and then drybrush and then paint white on top?

Why not stick this as an announcement or news, rather than in my rather stuttering modelling and painting log? (not that I don't appreciate the attention+feedback that you give to my models.. but you did just answer yourself :P )

This explains so much about you KInG. You see kmb, you just had to prolong the game and he'd have eventually shut-down giving you an auto-win.

I've slept so well.. I felt so guilty after totally B1td7 smacking you last year.. lets face it.. I gave you that win to ease my conscience so that I could sleep again.
I'm sleeping like a babe right now...sleep typing the sleep typing of guiltfree ness :P
I demand at least one rematch of course though. ;)

no idea what I will be fielding then tho, might be IG.

Dusts off thread before the lock :)
Remember folks with this new system the thumbnail is cropped so you have to click the image to see the full picture.

I've been doing some stuff. over the next few days I'll upload some pics, stuff I haven't done.. I haven't done orks (I've done 15 of 140, even after taumaul sent me an encouragment present..so thats still on my to do list)I've half done another squad of beserkers..(RED and Bronze gasp (first ever)

Before I focus on the GT list stuff i had a few thing i felt I had to get to a certain stage of done.. so first off tidying up and stage progression.


My landraider still looked naked.. so I painted the lasbarrels, the marine, and added skulls from the arcane ruins set..it still doesn't look completely awesome.. but at least its nearly table ready now.. (Next step is chevrons of boltgun metal over the track guards and a few other bits but that is when I have some time.)

ImageImageImage

Next those darned skaven :),(5 more basic ones done) A pain in so many ways.. I have so many people encouraging me to build them,(they were a gift from gary's wedding- Tim sold me nurglitch at a snip because he wanted to see it used..Si has given me a few demonnetes)..but I'm really running on a low ebb on the demon codex.. and its not on my comp list scale (like my 3k of 1ksons) so its bumped down the painting priorites due to that..heres how far I've got..
the dog chair baba yaga suffered from me being rubbish at tentacles (so no lower torso yet) and the nurglitch.. yeah I know, eyes and needs to not just look like I smeared him yellow.. I hadn't realised quite how badly it had turned out till I took the pic, I think I'll highlight him in camo green to get a rotting effect.. and then ink down through a brown.. but not for a while.

ImageImageImageImage

Oh heres the baneblade Mr6 whipped up for me..it will have to sit on a shelf till the other stuffs painted up, he hates painting tanks, and I'm crap at it and have a full intray of 40k that tops it on the priority list.
Image

Right thats the temp pile purged (apart from the zerks which you might get stuck in somewhere) now I can start showing you my WIP towards my smurfs :)

Looks like you are starting a "FW" shelf there, manufactured by Mr6.

And onto the fast attack, note these are all just about table ready, but they do need som highlights (some more metal) and a fair dose of weathering.
First off the speeder swarm (2 traditional tornadoes, 2 HF MM, 1 MM tyhpoon,(those under slung missiles :D ,Cheers Ljundhammer , although all can now be swapped about)
ImageImage

Then BIKES, now with click fit and magnets.. (note I'm taking delivery of 3 more bikes this weekend to make 2 regular guys and a sargent with a fist.. the IC looks odd because I'm just bluetacking on random stuff until I can find something that looks nice and relic bladey, yet to try - 2 khornate chain axes, so far tried 11 weapons cut and glued and thrown away.
My fav is the plasma holding his hand over his eyes not holding the handles 8)
