Thanks boys. Started the Storm Eagle monster.

Nice I need to gap fill my fire raptor and start practicing with my airbrush so I can actually use it by the time I need to start painting

what color are you going to paint the cockpit?

So I got some bits in today. I'm going to update 5 Terminators to the Fulmentarus versions and got some tabards for the Locutarus squad. I think the tabards make them look a little better. Also converted the Calth chaplain dude to a Librarian.

Haven't decided what to paint the cockpit. I usually do dark gray. We shall see.

Cool idea using the B@C Chaplain as a Libby, it looks cool so far.

Thanks, cheese. I did an internet search on BaC conversions. There are a lot of really cool ones out there.

Love the librarian. He made the change from the chaplain very well. It’s a great base model to work from, I’ve seen a number great things done from it with just a few head/weapon swaps.

Other guy looks good as well, just not as nice as his friend.

Easy does it on the Storm Eagle painting. Easy and I get along well, we are old friends. I may do the cockpit the same color as the blue what-not on the front.

Looking good. Can't wait to see that beast finished.

I suggest a contrast color or nuetral on the cockpit.

Thanks Six. What color would you suggest Panda?

Quick update.

bwellow its my new color that is a mix of blue and yellow

In all seriousness a dark green could work.

40k I would suggest the following

Red, Orange, Yellow or Green.

That ship is really shaping up. Great work.

Ok, dark green is always a good pick. But what about purple?

And the Storm Eagle is finished. Plenty of times I wanted to throw this thing out the window. But now that it's all finished up, worth it. This thing is freakin sweet. And, of course, those FW transfers make it even sweeter.

I do like the purple actually, when you are done maybe throw some gloss over it as it will make it look a bit more like glass.

Kick arse SE Sir.

That's a awesome looking Storm Eagle.

Lovely work! Worth the hassle of the build!

That storm eagle is really come together, but that canopy needs some work. The flat purple is a good start, but a highlight or something, and maybe some streaks on it to make a glare would really sell it. At the current color it does a good job of holding place, but is definitely pulling away from the model.

My approach would be to put a dark purple line at the bottom of both the primary bottom glass and at the angled bend. For the sides, just a long the frame is fine. Then I would put a bright pink layer at the top of the glass, just below the top of the frame, and angles. And then gloss it for the full purple visor look.

Do this, but in purple basically is what i am saying.

Storm Raven looks great, the windows are getting better with the purple, i never understood why in the far future there needed to be windows with all the remote sensors and cameras . I think Peturbo's flagship had no windows on it anywhere because they created weak points.

Thanks gents. I appreciate all the positive comments. Panda does have a point. There is some work to be done on that window. In the meantime, no time to rest.......

Wow, you certainly do good work fast. Are you planning on adding any other colors in like painting the blast shield white?

Nice start on that Vindi.

EDC

Fantastic inspiring work all over, loving the volkite squad and the storm eagle is first class, love the purple canopy. The white on your apothecary is outstanding and very crisp. Can't wait for more

Purple canopy is the bomb, and like the others said, good start on the Vindi.

I was thinking this as well. Your other vehicles are blue with a few white accents. Wondering where the Vindi’s will be.

Nice work on the flyer.

@ Panda and Nevlon- you guys are right and here it is. I tried to throw a little white on all the vehicles to kind of set them apart. I think the white legion symbols will tie it together nicely.

@Alaricut , Stormwall, Cheese- thanks again guys for dropping by. I really appreciate the kind words and am glad you are enjoying the army.

In the meantime.....

Very nice on the vindicator so far!

Yep, looking good!
