Thanks man! I didn't have the know how to recreate the effects that the forgeworld team did do I just copied the dark furies.


Well with corax now finished my raven guard 30k army is complete (minus one plastic dread, 5 melta supports and 5 lascannon heavy weapons that I don't really need at the moment). He was a gorgeous model and the face was so detailed that my camera was picking up the models face as an actual face . With that I will be working on my dark mechanicus and the armies on parade board and after that I will be starting my new 30k blackshields army!

Spent most of today painting my terrain for the armies on parade board (also waiting on the crackle paste to dry for the board itself it may take a few days to completely dry). I was going for dark subtle terrain (dark grey almost black base, agrax wash and a few lighter grey drybrushes) as to create a contrast for the blue and red of the board. So I have a bunker for the scions to make their last stand, a ruined manufactorum, and two other destroyed buildings. I will be trying to get some work in on the pipe relay and the destroyed tank terrain also and decide on a scheme for the scions, anyone have any suggestions for cool regiments or colors?

Thanks! I am glad people are liking (or are at least fine with) the buildings being dark. It will help offset all of the bright colors on the board

Yeah the new golds put out by GW are just awesome and I highly suggest them!


Well I have finished the promethium pipe relays, I am keeping them pretty simple so they don't detract from anything on the board. I also got some work in on the vanguard squad getting the base coats of green and some of the metal and skin done. I hope to have these ten mostly done before I leave for GenCon this wednesday!

Also for my upcoming blackshields army I am thinking of new skin colors and I came across a malefic flesh set by vallejo made for nocturna. It seems like for blue to violet to green and even white skin tones. What do you all think? The blackshields have set up their empire in the ghoul stars in the fluff so I figure maybe some mutations and what not.

Some more work on the vanguards, I got the rest of the silver metals and coppers down and I washed the teal. Tomorrow they should be all finished up just in time for me to leave for GenCon . I am hoping to get all of the models done (10 vanguards 5 rust stalkers and 5 infiltrators along with the 10 vanguards) before I leave for college so I do not have to worry about the armies on parade board. After that I will start work on my second 30k army the blackshields

The scenery looks great, and great to see some Dark Mechanicus. Personally I found the Skitarii miniatures a lot of fun to paint, hope you have the same experience.

They are pretty fun to paint, just lots of a purity seals I have to clip off

Januine wrote:nice job Ustrello. Colour choice for your DarkMech is lush. Terrain piece are coming along sweet too


Well they will get much brighter (color wise no idea why my phone hates taking pictures of them) and yeah the terrain was fun to do, simple but it gets the idea across

JustaerinAtTheWall wrote:Pipes are looking sufficiently dingy! I'm also liking the dark blue you've chosen for the DM color scheme!


They are actually a teal color as you will see in the next picture. I personally liked the idea of a brightly colored hell forge scheme seeding confusing upon their enemies


Well I pretty much finished these guys not quite making my promise to finish them before I left for GenCon. I still got to dry brush and seal the base, plus transfers and weathering but I can do all of that on monday and sunday when I get back

Thanks para and spacewolverine!

Gen con was great per usual and I was able to pick up 3 jet bikes and 5 mk 2 assault marines for my blackshields along with new dice for the army. And speaking of which when I returned home from the trip a package from forgeworld had arrived for me dropping of HH book 6, a mk 2 command set to be converted into a reaver lord, 10 despoilers to be converted into marauders ( 5 mk 2 and 5 mk 3), a land raider phobos and some chain axes for the marauders. So today I got them all washed and even started work on building them.

I got the reaver lord with cyber familiar and halo blade converted up, along with 5 mk 3 marauders (the chief has a power fist instead of an chain axe) and I finished one jet bike with magenitized weapons and him carrying a banner so the victims know the Ashen Claws have come for them!

Magnetizing is probably one of the best skills I have picked up, it saves me so much money and hassle

They are super cool, not the best since they got one wound but they are fast and can pack a punch

Hung out with some friends and we did a bunch of hobbying, and I was able to get the last two jet bikes done, along with the land raider, 5 more marauders, and 5 assault marines. So that leaves me with my black shields built (minus stuff I still need to buy). I am considering putting some sort of larger skull on the top of the banner to make it less bland but idk. what do you all think?

A skull atop the banner would be cool, maybe a large bird skull as a hint to their heritage? Raven skulls are dead easy to make by filing down wolf skulls, so if you know any SW players you should be able to find something suitable.

That is a good idea, I will have to look into that.


Not a whole lot done today, mainly just freehanding the chaos stars on the vanguards and laying down the transfers. I will seal those in and then weather powder the cloaks of the vanguards and they will be done. I also got a test mini done for the ashen claws, they say that the ashen claws are a dull red with black power armor so I was mainly focusing on the red as I have the black down. I also tried to give the test model green eyes but it feels oddly christmasy to me, maybe blue eyes? Anyways I will include a comparison picture so you all can get what I am going for

Same here, though I wish they included some actual pictures of the ashen claw marines instead of the distorted video capture ones.

Yeah for sure, here are a few from when I finished the marine but not the rest of the model

They are a blackshields and HH6 is fairly new so you might see more of them soon. They are super fluffy though and in some points aren't as good as a normal legion but they are still really fun



Automatically Appended Next Post:
Slow painting day today, I only got the three destroyed tank bits for the armies on parade board done. But that means I only have the 5 scions to go til all of the terrain is finished, along with the 10 rangers 5 infiltrators and 5 rust stalkers. Tomorrow I plan on starting some of my blackshields to get a feel for them.

So I got some work in on the assault marines, I am happy with how the duller red has come out and I am really liking the gw bases and how they have turned out (weathered brass and a blueish green pavement). I could potentially have these guys done by tomorrow and then I might work on the reaver lord or dark mechanicus.
