Subject: Projekt Bench DX3: Evil Eye in da Sky! - Armies on Parade!
I've recently been inspired to get working on the hobby to get my stagnant pile of stuff moving from NIB to painted to playing!
** I'll try and use a real camera too to take WIP pics, but my camera phone is just so convenient!**
Progress from last night:
Sprayed seven Drop Pods with Army Painter Greenskin.
Also sprayed Master of the Forge w/Thuder Hammer and did a few details in GW Blood Gore and GW Skull White.
Completed two colors, First GW Sunburst Yellow, Then GW Macharius Solar Orange on all shoulder pads of Marines, Dreadnoughts.

Any plans to use a few washes on them for depth?
Thanks and yes - after I get the rest of the gold on, paint up the random wires, eye lenses, other details and purity seals.. I plan to drybrush highlight selected areas with GW Scorpion Green.. and then hit em with some washes (maybe Thraka Green and Devlin Mud). Looking forward to that because yes, as of right now - they are bit bright and cartoony for my liking.

Whoa.. it's been a while since I've updated in my 'daily' Do One Thing thread - though I have been doing something hobby related each day, I've haven't gotten around to taking any pics of anything really.
I will do so tonight but in the meantime (because of Salamander Burnout) I'll share two things that I've worked on during this blackout..
An Ork Nob that specializes in Kommunications. WIP with Ammo Runt and Looted Cadian Helmet and Marine Combat Knife.
Final Nob.
and an Ork Rokkit Jeep.

1. Crimson Fist Bikers - sprayed with Army Painter Navy Blue.
2. Another quick coat of GW Regal Blue brushed on, GW Red Gore for the fists and GW Adeptus Battelgrey for the wheels.
3. First touches of detail on the captain - but I think I'm going to paint over the gold with a GW Boltgun Metal or similar..
I've got a bit of Army ADD as of late - two nights ago I worked on a my Orks Speed Freaks Army and put together a FW Warboss on Bike (pics to follow)..
Last night, I worked on my Emperor's Children CSM - counts as Blood Angels (pics to follow also)..
I need focus.

He hits on 5 attacks, wounds on 5.. one Carnifex dead, one with three wounds remaining.
Two fexes strike back, four attacks each re-rolling missed hits to hit 6 times wounding 5 times.

Abaddon fails three saves, leaving him with wound.
Abaddon rolls a 6 for daemon weapon for 10 attacks.

Starting toe to toe.
Abaddon rolls a 2 for the daemon weapon = 6 hits and deals 6 wounds.
One carnifex dead, one with two wounds remaining.

Abbadon rolls a 5 for daemon weapon for 9 attacks.
Hits on 6, wounds 6 times = two dead carnifexes.

In a pre-game interview I asked my friend that plays Nids what he thought would happen and he immediately said Abaddon would wipe them out.
Seems as if he was right...

Fun stuff going on here! I like the Abaddon conversion. I too feel like i never finish anything lol. Keep up the good work though!
I am now accepting commissions for any hobby project! I've been in the hobby since '92. Specializing in traditional brush methods, creating a gritty dark aesthetic. From single character models to entire armies. From individual terrain pieces to entire table tops. From tabletop level to masterclass level painting. From purchasing and assembly to leveling up your assembled armies paint job. If it has to do with the hobby I can do it! Hit me up and let's chat about your project!

Subject: Projekt Bench DX3 ( now with 'cloned' Abbadon!)
I'm rethinking the Big Mek - I think he's going to need some kind of bionic legs and/or a wheel chair and/or a mek-like platform to roll around on to support the weight of his KFF. (though-in-progress)
Looted Land Raider Battlewagon - chopped to be in line with current Battlewagon size.
Forge World Ork Warboss on bike w/ Crimson Fist Banner and attack squig in hand!

That's a mighty fine bit o lootin. I have to say most looted vehicles I encounter on t'internet don't really impress me - but this hits the spot. Storming work, sir.

Thanks for the praise on my Orky Waaagh!
Switching it up to try and put some more paint on my Crimson Fist Bikers I'll be taking to Dakkacon (only 1000 points worth).
DId the pipes and bolters with GW Boltgun Metal.
The hubs on the wheels in GW Blazing Orange to show off 6th Company Pride!
