Really awesome. I love the antenna. Did you make it from wire?

Single hairs from a cheap hardware store paintbrush, actually. The problem with wire is that it's too easy to get a permanent bend if you aren't extremely careful with it at all times.

You do weathering ridiculously good and it fits the krieg theme super well, all around love it! I should try similar techniques on my kriegers.

What about spring steel or piano wire?

deleted bc it was unhelpful.

Back from the dead (AKA "new job is hell and eats all of my time") with a quick warmup project to make sure I remember how to do my color scheme: a Baneblade for my superheavy squadron.

Nice. It looks like it just got dredged up from the bottom of the sea!

Epic work

Hah. Finally someone gets it.

Also, new work finally. The preparations from NOVA are beginning.



Better pictures to come once I have better light and get the base finished. But for now, I'm pleased with it. I've done some color changes (using a lighter VMC blue gray instead of the old hand-mixed color, dark gray/black armor plates instead of bare metal, and an oil wash on the cloth areas) and spent some more time refining the highlights and shading. It's extra time per model, but I think it's worth it.

That's pretty freaking cool

Damn. Those are some worn tanks. Think I may have to take a leap out of your books and do some hardier weathering on my vehicles.

Thanks for the tutorial.

Keep up the good work and il be keeping my eyes peeled for updates.

Do you have a post that collects the whole, or most, of your army?

Not recently. There are a few group shots on the front page, but those are pretty old. I don't have as much table space at home anymore to set up a proper light box so it's kind of hard to get a full-army shot.

Minor not-really-an-update update, the Marauder Destroyer is still the most beautiful model in 40k.

Warlord 8-4, target in sight. We are starting our run.

Lovely model! Nice and grubby, in the future are you going to put any wing markers or Squadron indicators on it?

I used to have one, but then it swan dived off a the 4th shelf of my model collections, ending in catastrophic wing disintegration. ended up selling it for scrap to an ork player.

So, apparently I'm terrible at taking pictures, but I have been painting! Consider this a preview.

I like that

You got some really great stuff going on here!
Browsed trough the whole thread on one go.

I like the weathering on the vehicles. And those terrain pieces, man are they awesome!

Really inspiring stuff.
