I posted a few weeks ago and got some feeback and applied some tips namely in the wash department. Here is my latest batch of Long Fangs and a Ragnar that made in record time (for me anyway) because I was in a hurry to get him done for a game.

This is my first Long Fang using the Forge World missile launcher (at $15 PER regular Missile launcher in a bitz store, the FW weapon pack is gold)



Backpack is a bit crooked because the ML reaches real far behind. Going to find a way to adapt for the next one.


The flare on the legs is not due to gloss but rather the flash going off real close. I need to find some better lighting for pictures.


Plasma Canons are controlled by IDE cables...scary isn't it?






Still have a shoulder pad to do on that one


Ragnar Blackmane

The highlights on those guys are really neat and nice. Keep up the good work.

Allright this next project was done on the fly and with limited time, still I am quite proud of myself for many reasons.

- First airbrushed model I did solo.
- First legible freehand for the text (yay)

The reason: I have signed up for a tournament and we are being asked to bring one model with the theme "The Messenger" which will likely be used as an objective in a game or something. I pondered about what I could do, how and why. I came up with the UPS theme because it was simple to do color wise and I had the colors on hand. For the messenger part I stuck as many purity seals as I could without being "too much". I used an Devastator Sgt Auspex for his code bar reader and a melta bomb and ammo case for package. Then I tought about what to do with the other hand. Power fist to knock on big doors? But found the pointy finger one and thought it would fit more the theme to have the model actually ring the doorbell. Added a banner for extra publicity and went to work.


Step 1: Basecoated with some Scorched Brown




Step 2: Used some zenith lighting technique to send some Graveyard Earth at the right angle to create a natural highlight.



Step 3:Boom kinda got carried away things were going so smoothly I might have skipped a few steps so here goes: I washed the whole armor with badab black which re-darkened the armor because airbrushed scorched brown comes off rather light.





I managed a wee bit of freehand on the shoulder pad's tag



While keeping with the theme I stuck some extra purity seals here and there.



The last two pictures I added the flash to bring out some of the little details.
