Base looks good. Looking forward to seeing the whole thing assembled.

@Waaazag: Thanks, all that is left to do on the base is to add some grass tufts, but that will be super easy.

Well, this project is swiftly drawing to a close, I've begun assembling the fully painted components. Here is a pic of what is put together so far:

The missile pods look very crooked in the photo; they are a little crooked, but not as much as they look. I tried my best to keep them straight, but oh well, as they say, close enough for government work! All that's left to do is put the shield generator and sensor array thingie on the missile pods, and highlight the Pulse Driver Cannon and add it to the model. The frag projectors are removable, so I won't add them until the final photos. Oh, and as I mentioned above, I need to add some grass tufts to the base. Should have final photos up no later than this time tomorrow, or possibly Monday morning (in my time zone).

Well, the moment those of you watching this blog have been waiting for, the Stormsurge is finished! Here's the photographic evidence:






It was fun to paint, and is easily the largest model I've ever done (that record was previously held by my Soul Grinder). I look forward to kicking ass and taking names with it on the tabletop. I realize that I am not the best painter around (some of the photos may or may not show mold lines or joins or insufficiently thinned paint), but I like to think I did well, and I am certainly proud of the results! The frag projectors are removable, and eventually I need to paint the flamers and burst cannons to make the thing truly customizable, but the pics show the configuration I will usually run. Feel free to vote for these in the Dakka gallery!

Great stuff Zerg. I really like the cockpit, great detail.

Really great work! As drcheese said, the detail is absolutely amazing!

Thanks guys! I'm pretty happy with the cockpit myself, I worked hard to make it look good. The pilots kind of block some of it unfortunately.

Yeah I always find that when you spend any amount of time detailing it's inevitably covered by something...

I don't seem to have posted here at the time, so I'll do so now. Great work, mate - that's one awesome looking beast you've put together there!

Thanks! He was fun to build, fun to paint, and so far he's been fun to play with in games. Really frustrates some of my opponents!

I know I'm late to the party, but well done ZS. Great work on it, love the blue colors on the Tau. Good lucky kicking ass
