Thanks! the whole thing has a need for speed!
That is the extent of my "Red Paint Job" now for the other bitz, and blue luck stripes, and the weathering. I told you my Orks are slap dash in their ways.

Finally subbing to this Shas... keep up the good work

Go Fasta Stripes!

I have a pretty nice idea for a future project ^^,

ANYWAYS!! That skyshark is BIG! can't wait to see that one finnished!

Well, I do have to finish the making of the wings, then the tail,,,going "H" style on that.

Reinforce weak spots.

Add the bomms and gubbins. It will have a crew of Orky pilot, and a grot gunner(Turret) and Grot Navigator.

Well, more progress on that Orky MiG.

I think that engine needs more Badab black for that "oily" look.

Instead of badab black...try some really watered down black paint, stab it into the recesses with a stiff brush, then dab and wipe it off of the surface detail! with a rag right away - It'll give a really deep caked in oil look.

..Also when using this technique for weathering on plane body panels, always wipe it directionally front to back, since aircraft (even orky) will always weather directionally in flight.

Hmmm, I shall have to do that old trick, I used to do that on old WW-II planes I used to have, streaking the watered down black to look wind swept to the back of the plane and even in the black lines of the panels seams if I had to wipe it off

Need to snap pics before i start making worn away looking areas, exposed metals.

Hmmmm...... Sky Shark looks great. You know what would be so so cool, your Sky Shark in an aerial duel with Klaus' Airship Athena.

Skyborne apocalypse!!!

Postman must have been thinking it was Christmas in June! I was amazed that packages from Germany, Britain and North America came the same day!

Dood That is an EPIC Supply Drop! I'm glad to finally see those Defiance sprues! What do you think of them so far?

The legs have a cool look, I'm using my 12 spares per box as legs for some veterans I'm converting for my guard. They're a little soft, but still look really cool, and fit a lot of minis very well with their look. The rest of the kit has fairly good detail. It's no forgeworld, but for what you're paying they're pretty good. Think much better than a WGF greatcoat trooper but not quite as sharp details as a GW cadian (except for the guns, the detail on them is spot on) That's my thoughts at least. Even though they aren't perfect, I still really like them and am considering getting another box for bits.

OT: That's an awesome paintjob for the greatcoats man, beats the snot out of mine. Best job I've seen anyone do with them so far. They're tough to make look good, but you pulled it off very well, great job!

BTW: how is the gunny? I haven't gotten mine yet and I'm really wishing he'd show up already. The stock on his gun looks slightly bent though. Is that something with the camera or is it actually made like that?

I have both metal and plastic IG torsos that will get placed on the spare legs, until I run out. Heh! for the money these are still great troops, and in some ways beat the GC's a bit, More realistic scaling imho.

Thanks. All part of the united army concept for the Khadrovian Konfederacy. Some units will have plain green armor, (like the Marines Here) but I have a platoon of GC';s after this to finish they are getting the same camo of greys but their hard armor is going to be adeptus battlegrey. I have others painted in black+shadowgrey+fortress grey(Spetznats) but I now have close to 100 troopers to assemble before priming and painting.

Yeah that stock is a bit bent, I am thinking of snipping it carefully heating it, bending it to the right shape and then gluing it back in.

P.S. I got those GCs while Tony was still running WGF. So they are pre-change over minis.

Cool, thanks Shas!- These are plastic or resin?

Gunny is some sort of plastic-resin hybrid, the Troops are pure plastic.

So, I will be posting pics to show the height of the Grymn walkers they came out taller than the AT-43 walkers, amazing.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Used the 28mm Gunny to help with scale as he is known for the height at 28mm. Surprise results for the walkers

AT-43 Kolossus, Gunny , Grymn walker, and Orca walker
[/img]

Kolossus, Gunny, Orca and Grymn
[/img]

Kolossus next toGrymn,,,,tallest of the shorty's
[/img]


So the Orca, sitting on 25mm bases on a thin 60mm base is the shortest, the Kolossus on a 40mm tall base is actually the middle of the heights, and the Grymn walker on a standard height 50mm base stands the tallest pf the three designs, it will still be shorter than a standard 40k sentinel, but is still impressive!
