Cheers Az. The DW:O set is so nice and with the game and the whole story that goes with it etc etc, I decided to splash out and get some nice bases that go with the boards and the theme. To base the whole set cost me about 45gbp and I'll have a few bases left over. Really happy wth the bases, definitely fit in with the board tiles,and the game.

Do you have anyone to play the game with? I know you've said its tough to get games out there.

Aye, there's a few folk I may rope in. But for gaming I'd usually have to travel up to Seoul to a shop there. They have a whole pile of free tables to play on. Never done it though.

Anywho -Setorax is pretty much done, base still needs touch of the ol weathering powders and there's a few things I need to think about still - what to do with his claws and whether or not to chip and weather his armour. For now though, am happy

Lovely job with Edryc He's pretty nasty in-game. Hits on 2s with lightning claws, can't be shot at beyond combat range and his grenade launcher is pretty useful too for clearing the weaker cult warriors.

Cheers AoV. Nice wee fig to paint. His mini-book story was pretty tidy. Right vicious wee bugger

Looks awesome!

I'd definitely advocate some weathering, simply because smooth black, white and silver makes a great canvas for some really striking effects in that department.

Cheers Para. First time I've done those jetpack burner thingys - always nice to add some new bits to things Will def do some weathering - never been a fan of the cleany clean marines. Needs a bit of 'I actually fight in this thing y'know' for me. Wont go too heavy but cetainly batter him up a wee bit!

Beautiful work on Setorax.

Thx very much Az. Just need to get a few more finishing touches on him and he's good to go.

This morning though - got some paint down on another few SH 'stealers and highlights to the armour panels on the Drac. Nice wee glaze to soften them out and then onto some markings before I do the weathering and damge.

Personally I am a fan of blue lightning claws (if you can't tell by my plog )

Excellent work on Setorax, as others have said the glow effect on the jet pack is especially good. How did you go about highlighting the beakie helmet...the beak especially?

*puts own Setorax down and stops painting in shame*.

Cheers lads. Not sure still about the claws, theyre a kind of black steel at the mo that I mixed myself which i do like. I may do some thin electricity threads up them akin to what i did on the terminators thunder hammer some pages back. Not so sure about doing them full on blue.
The highlights on the beakie helmet (damn but i hate beakies!) was just done the same way as the rest of the armour - really thin layer/glazes going form abadon back up to dawnstone grey. I imagined the light to be comeing from up adn to his left - so (his) left side of the helmet is much brighter than the right side.
Am very happy with the jetpack - came out nicely for my first go. Immediately wrote it down and promptly lost the piece of paper. Have put it into the paintmyminis app though so all is good

*Moved to AdMech plog thread*

Humidity over here is awful during the summer which means the ever infamous purity seal is totally out unless you fancy the ultimate in stay frosty figs!! The only real use I have for seal anyways is for fixing weather powders as I like the way PS melts them into the areas giving a really ground in grime, dirt and worn look. Lot of folk rave about testors but can't get that over here so I've been trying just about every other Matt spray varnish I could find (white spirits can also be used but it gives a different effect and result and not what I'm looking for in this case)
Finally have found a brand/product that seems to laugh in the face of Korean humidity, fixes and seals the powers and not a glimmer of mr. Frosty to be seen. Montana is the brand!!!

Did a quick test on some of the bases I use for the SH termies yesterday evening and then on the base for Setorax after that and we seem to have a winner. Here's the stuff.

As to availability - I have not idea but if you're suffering from the humid spray blues and you see this stuff - I can heartily recommend it

Back to some termie action. Reds done today. Happy with that

Lovely job on Claudio and Omnio so far

cheers aov. gakky photo. red have come out well nice though. prefer the dark grim red to the more bright candy red usual fro the BAs. took a fair chunk of time but worth it

Definitely worth the effort for that deep red color .

I'm kind of curious as to how you painted the feathers that are hanging on his belt and jump pack. They look really good!

Cheers Zergy - feathers were easy enough. Wanted him to have more raven looking feathers so checked some photos out - raven feathers have a kind of greeny bluey black glossy sheen in realiity so needed to try and show that. Based them with a mix of black with just a touch of incubi darkness and then highlighted by doing thin lines on the vanes where the light on the hits the feathers with more and more incubi added in each time - just by drawing thin lines up and out from the rachis. To make the rachis pop out a touch more I added the tiniest touch of fenris grey to the mix and drew that along the shaft. Feathers uually have a light sheen to them so painted on some satin varnish at the end. It ended up a little too shiny so a coat of lahmian medium toned it down a touch. Hope that helps

Another 3 stealers done! Yay. Will get SH done .....eventually

Nice work! Your Stealers continue to be awesomely creepy!

cheers Para. that's 8 down and ......lots more to go!!!

Still love those Stealers paint scheme! looks totally menacing and a great balance between a real world and an alien feel!

Lovely work on the 'stealers.

EDC

Yeah, I love the stealer scheme still too. It's going from strength to strength as your painting gets better and better to boot. It transforms the entire Space Hulk set into just black, white and red which will look awesome when it's all done!

Lovely job with your genestealer beasties

I concur - the genestealers are looking very nice so far.

Great work on your ever-expandin SH and DW:O sets. I'm not going to say the same as everyone else because it well get tiresome, but I agree with everyone else on the great effects you have produced. Well done bud

Thx so much everyone. Very happy with them so far. Quite a lot still to do but will get there ......eventually. Lol
