Cheers Az. I used agrellan earth over a layer of pva. You seem to get much bigger and better cracks if you put a thinned layer of pva down first and the paint doesnt flake off after drying too

Interesting. Will have to try that with my agrellan earth and Martian ironearth paints..

I am really looking forward to that Thanatar. It's easily one of my favourite models and your AdMech scheme is great.

Cheers Sock. Stay tuned - just putting the final touches to the Skit rangers now. Photos should be up in a few hours. VERY happy how they've turned out

And FINALLY - The Skitarii Rangers are done!!! Photo'ing them was nearly the end of me!! Photos didn't come out exactly right but they're done and I really do love this squad. It will be a while before I paint a whole squad in a oner again but was interestig to try. Anyways blah blah - here they are. Achlys III's Skitarii Rangers, Maniple 32-Delta - locally know as 'The Dust Dogs'. Hope ya like 'em

Worth the wait bud, outstanding work

Cheers Cam. Very happy with them. That Forces of the forge are growing. FW tech priest and starting on the Than next

Outstanding work on these guys. They've come out amazingly well!

Simply stunning! I'd say without the slightest exaggeration, that is the best AdMech squad I've seen since they were released!

Nice work on your Skitarii!

Crikey. Wow - thx very much Para. Seriously cheers they took a bit of doing but damn chuffed with the result. For just a standard grunt squad the amount of detail on them is lush (and seriously time consuming!!) loved painting all the canticle strips.

Followed for long, but never commented before, I didn't have much to add except to join the ahs! and wows!

Still don't; only more wows! and ahs! come to mind with that last display

Outstanding work, really gives something to look up to!

Outstanding.

Will you please accept that your AdMech are the best on the web? Please. I know you're not displaying fake modesty, you are a genuinely nice guy and are far more humble than people may appreciate. On behalf of everyone (I'm sure) I just wanna say that you blew these AdMech out of the park. I hope GW keep making new sculpts for you to keep blessing with your skills.

Cheers guys. Much appreciated Lots more to come hopefully. I really do like all the new AdMech stuff so they're really a pleasure to paint. Need to think how I'm going to tackle the ruststalkers next. Thanatar is still very much in the planning phase and going to take a while as he's going to be entered in a big competition; he really needs to be the bomb.

The Rangers look excellent. They will really fit in with the previous ad mech units you have. Such lovely colours, a very nice change of pace from the traditional reds.

Many thx Archer

Brilliant work, Jan! My favorite is the masked one with no hood (the head from the Ironstrider) - looks like you didn't follow the instruction manual when putting together that one and it looks so characterful as a result! I need to be braver with my next box of Skitarii and find some variant poses like that one. Top notch :-)

Wow, very impressive. That is a great looking bunch of rangers.

Cheers folk. I really like the plasma gunner fella. That face, partially exposed to the elements just looks like he doesn't give a feth!!! Have built and primed the ruststalkers - they are some evil looking dudes. creepy as hell. Was going to take a night off painting but ......nah!!!!!

Those Skitarii look amazing! So many details, they must be tough to paint and do a good job, but you did it, by God!

Many thx Zerg. There is a lot of detail on those fellas; not the toughest things to paint but very very time consuming!!!

Tremendous unit of Rangers there. I cannot imagine the work that went into one of them let alone all ten. Remind me what Skitarii you have painted up now?

Looking forward to your take on the Ruststalkers.

Standing with the Rangers now there's a Sydonian Dragoon, Kataphron Destroyers, Dominus Tech Priest, Arch Magos, Castellax Automaton, Scyllax Gaurdians and a Freeblade Knight. The convocation grows! Ruststalkers, FW techpriest and a Thanatar up for paint next.

As per usual your work doesn't disappoint, Fantastic stuff

Awesome some looking Rangers. The blue and gold is really cool.

Nice tip on the pva with the crackle medium too, definitely gonna give that a go.

EDC

Cheers EDC - they really were a lot of fun to do. Just love the look of the admech stuff GW has been putting out. Dunecrawler is defintely on the cards .....soon..ish

Those look absolutely fabulous Jan. The monochrome look really suits the Skitarii.

Cheers very much Mym. Really happy how this whole scheme has worked out. Working on a nice bit of fluff/backstory to go with it

Think all those rangers need a little fire support. A big brother to step up and have their back so to speak. Finally the fella is up for paint

Cannot wait to see this 나쁜놈 all painted up Jan. Will you be doing any glow effects on the inside of the weapon - or is that not your thing?
