I really like buzz's evil brother =)

I'm still working my way through my super dungeon explore models. Looking forward getting back to the darker 40k models.

Anyhow here is my entry:

Looking forward to seeing some more Super Dungeon Explore! I really should get back to painting my set. I like that style of painting.

Anyway, here's my proof. It's a mini from Rum and Bones, a pirate captain named Captain Francois L'Olonnais. The real-life man they took the name from was a particularly bloody pirate, a torturer and cannibal. So something of a scoundrel...



I still might swap him out for one of the other Rum & Bones minis, perhaps one who is more of a scoundrel than a flat-out psychopath.

I could sleep last night so I worked on Slave I a little bit more. Most of the green bits have been added and given a wash with MIG Dark Wash enamel as a first layer of weathering. I love how layers of parts are stacked on top of each other to make a complex surface. There is even parts that can't really be seen unless you hold it just so; it really is quite impressive. After all of the pieces are in place, more weathering will be added to dirty everything up, mainly chipping on the raised areas and more enamel washes.



The winglets were painted with Mr Color 315 (Gray FS16440), the yellow markings/chips were painted with a mix of Flat Yellow (XF-3) and Yellow Green (XF-4), the red strip was painted with a mix of Flat Red (XF-7) and Hull Red (XF-9), and the entire assembly was given a pin wash with MIG Neutral Wash enamel. After everything dries, they'll get a coat of matte varnish and then more weathering.

Loving the look of this so far! Can't wait to see the finished result!

Unfortunately, my Farsight model is beyond saving, so I'm going to have to think of something else - will post proof again soon!

That sucks! I'm looking forward for what else you might have in store.

I managed to get most of the front skirt painting done last night. It's pretty much done except for a couple of black panels on the top grey section. All and all, I'm not entirely happy with it. I decided to use chipping fluid instead of liquid mask applied with a sponge. It's not bad, it's just not the finish I was aiming for. I guess it will be cool because the chipping on the skirt is going to be different than the hull, where I will be using liquid mask. The colors I used were Hull Red (XF-9) and Buff (XF-57) for the red, Pink (X-17) for the chipping, German Grey (XF-63) over Medium Grey (XF-20) for the grey panels, and Vallejo Model Air Tank Brown (71.041) for the brown panel. After this picture was taken, I managed to get a panel line wash on with MIG Dark Wash enamel. Once that is sealed in with some matte varnish, I'll move on to more weathering.

I wasn't happy with the front skirt but I also didn't really want to change it. After sleeping on it last night, I woke up and was content with how it turned out. Not happy, but willing to leave it as is. I then spent the next twelve hours at work and my dissatisfaction with it grew throughout the day. After I got home and had a lovely dinner with my wife, I head to the studio and decided to fix it. Needless to say, I am much more pleased with the end result. I used the same grey-green base color, applied a layer of liquid mask, sprayed a coat of pink made with Tamiya Pink (X-17) mixed with a little Tamiya Deck Tan (XF-55), applied another layer of liquid mask, and finally gave it a coat of the same red-brown from the first go around only with a tiny bit of Flat Red (XF-7) added. It could probably use some more pink areas, but I'm leaving it as is because I think it turned out good enough!

Just to show you guys I am still in this thing:

They're coming along, albeit slower than I would like. I should finish in time though.

Ah ha! I found something to enter with! Nothing huge, just a single kabalite my de friend gave me. He's been based, but that's about it so far. He's not getting a real base, just a wooden wheel I found in my bitz.

I'm in. Scoundrelous Rogue to be (proof):


and w/ some extra green stuff/rivets:

Da Gork is with 'im and 'e is one with Gork?

I worked on the the "fenders" last night. The one on the left was painted with Tamiya J.A. Gray (XF-14) and had liquid mask applied to mimic the weathering on the studio model. It was then given a coat of J.N. Green (XF-11) mixed with a touch of Field Grey (XF-65). The one on the right was painted with a witch's brew of Tamiya greens and had liquid mask splattered on it by dipping a piece of torn foam in liquid mask and using air from my airbrush to apply it. A coat of the same green color as the other fender was applied and the masking was removed. The underlying green was a little too bright so I sprayed some heavily thinned dark green over it to tone it down.

Update on my progress, got my second Bloodbride finished up, barring one correction on its leg to fix a bit of wash that splashed up.

Some WIP pics! Almost finished, just gotta do some final details like more work on the face and hair and touch up some mistakes here and there and then base him and he's ready for some super nice pictures this weekend!






This has been fun and pushed me to get him finished faster yet still carefully! Thanks for this push/challenge! I know I'm not the best painter but it's been 2 solid years since I've finished a model and it's been great to get back into it and re-hone my skills as well as get a new piece done for a super fun inquisitorial kill team escalation league I'm participating in at my FLGS!

Seeing as Farsight didn't work out, instead I'll be painting up Inquisitor Greyfax! Although not necessarily a scoundrel, as a "self-appointed executioner of anyone she names heretic" I certainly wouldn't want to put my back to her!



Hope this is a good enough link to the topic!

Great work so far everyone - looking forward to seeing the finished products!!

That's a damn fine looking model there, Nathan. Inquisitor Greyfax looks awesome.

(Again, ignore the terminator)

Trying a technique I’ve not done in a while. After basecoating, I just slathered the whole pirate in nulan oil. I noticed that modern washes pool/tint differently then the old ones I’m used to. So this is an experiment with the new washes. Next step is to carefully go back over him and bring up the highlights a bit.

Back in my previous “black wash everything” phase, they acted more like tints/glazes. Liking the flow of the modern washes.

More work in progress goodies:



I sprayed the first coat of green, which is the going to be the darker of the two on the hull, over the entire area. It's essentially the Tamiya equivalent of RLM 02 and I made it by mixing RLM Grey (XF-22) and Khaki (XF-49) in a 1:1 ratio with a tiny extra bit of XF-22 added.



Using the studio model as a guide, I applied masking fluid with torn pieces of sponge. Give the nature of the original paint job, no model will ever match it exactly, however, the goal here was to just get close. This color is Tamiya J.A. Grey (XF-14) with a tiny bit of Deck Tan (XF-55) added to it.



After I painted the dark green panels with J.N. Green (XF-11), I did a quick dry fit of the major hull pieces just to see how it looked. I thought that the RLM 02 color was a little dark so I sprayed the entire hull, sans the dark green pieces, with a very thin coat of J.A. Grey to tone them down.



I weathered the wing supports with a handful of MIG enamel washes stippled on with a sponge and then blended into the surface. This was probably overkill because they are barely visible one the "fenders" are added and the entire assembly is inserted into place.



The panel lines were done with a mix of MIG Dark and Neutral Wash, and once everything fully dries it will be sealed with some varnish and further weathering will begin. This will mainly consist of some filters and streaking on the hull, along with some pigments.

It's coming along great, ScootyPuffJunior. Really interesting to see so many WIP photos, as well.

OK, he was pretty fun to paint up. Vastly different then most things I do these days. Now hand over your gold!

Thanks!

I was pretty nervous to tackle this ship because it's complicated scheme on a pretty small model, but I think it's actually coming together quite nice.

Very cool!

eh, so I've been a bit busy lately, and my hobby motivation just hasn't really been there, and nothing was really grabbing me for this theme...I had a big silly idea at the start of the month, but that kinda washed out, meh, whatever...

...anyway, I just had an idea though...this is Rogues and scoundrels, right?....I wonder, would something from the rogue trader era qualify?

Old school metal, awesome!

Clever you, That looks to be a fun little project! You're better off then I was when I started my model, I had to dig for hours to find a single kabalite to paint!

haha...oh I dunno, it wasn't quite that easy, I had to spend hours stripping about 3 distinct layered paintjobs, and a load of bad glue of this thing to get it to the state in that pic ...and since the pic, I've gone over the whole thing with a file and took care of all the big nasty mouldlines on it - that's much easier on plastic minis, lemme tell ya! ...and hey, at least you're doing something that properly fits the theme, dark eldar are pretty much all scoundrels really...I'm still not really sure if mine actually qualifies for entry

Slave I is complete!

Here we go... my Vindicare Assassin.

really struggled trying to get the black rifle and body suit to look different... hopefully the body comes across with a blue/grey tint and the rifle more black.

Also used a CADIA transfer in an attempt to tie him into my guard army who are on completely different bases.

Great stuff ZoBo. I hope my blog had a little something to do with this choice!

I don't s'pose it's something you've been working on on stream is it?...could you get a screenshot of it without much progress from one of your VODs?

My entry just arrived the other day. Going to have some pics up tomorrow! So excited to get back into these 'challenges'!
