Eejit!

Alpha is looking sweet, mate!

Cheers fella. Hopefully get them all finished up in the next few days

Getting there......

Now that is the sort of ride I need in peak hour.

Looks fantastic. The conversion is a really great example of the massive size of the Kat. The grey coat stands out really well overall even though it isn't a contrasting colour to the rest of the piece.

Cheer Archer. Still need to add a bit of filth and the like to the Kat's tracks and that but he's pretty much done. The Alpha on the platform came out well. The Kat has the same blue as the Alpha's robe on the underside of the chasis. The reast of the ranger squad will (eventually) have grey robes with blue on the inside instead of the Alpha's grey inside/ blue outside scheme. Just need to finish up the other 2 Kats now and they'll be all ready to roll on out

So, the Kats are finally all finished and based. Hopefully get them photo'd later today. Time to get back to the Freeblade knight. Onto the last group of pieces to be painted. Once these are done, it'll be onto freehand designs, and then weathering and damage.
Last lot of marble to paint next. Had to go back over old photos and posts as I've kinda forgotten how I did it!!!! Really should write this stuff down in the future!!!! Think I've got it sussed though!!

White and black? Sons of Malice confirmed.

hahahaa - no white n black. That's just the undercoat. Pauldrons will be halved marble and twilight blue then the heraldry freepainted on later

And we're off!!! Last marble bits steps 1 & 2 done. Minor freak out over not remembering how I'd done it before sorted out and looking good so far!!

Looks great. Can't wait to see the finished knight. Plus congrats on finishing the Kats off.

Cheers Archer. Should have some photos of the finished kats up soon

Ooo looking good.

EDC

Cheers EDC, steps 3 & 4 done. just waiting on the glaze to dry......dry faster dammit!!!!

If you have a hairdryer handy, give it a quick blast with that on low power, it should speed things up a little. Just be careful not to blow the paint into pools or areas it shouldn't be.

Aye that's why I stayed away from the missus' hairdryer. Feared it may start pushing the glaze around and leave unwanted stain lines. This step is a pretty thin glaze so it dries fast enough

Gonna call it for the night. Eyes are beginning to go all bleary!!! Painted for a stupid number of hours today - lol. So this is where we're up to

That's impressive, very impressive!

Cheers Para. Full day's work. Should get all the (last of the) marble finished up tomoro. If my eyes are still working - lol

Nice veined marbling effect there Jan really not easy to pull off on such a large piece.

That is some fabulous work. Need to click on the pic to zoom in and admire it all.

Cheers ckig. just finished steps 6 & 7 . just 8 & 9 to go!!!

Ugh... so good. Cant wait to see him all finished up!

And that is the last of the marble pretty much done

And finally got some photos of the finished Kats with a Skit Alpha commanding them. Photos were a pain in the arse. Had to use the wife's camera which is so-so for photos. Doesn't give a good depth of field and then the damn photo combing software refuse to save the fething thing. Anyways..... here's the boys!

It all looks spectacular, those Kat guns are absolutely huge. It is going to be awesome when its all assembled. Can't wait.

Cheers Archer. Kat photos didnt come out the best. May have to reshoot them later when I have time. Knight is coming along nicely though

Damn the metals on those tracked servitors is amazing.

Nice progress on the Knight arms.

EDC

Got my own camera working and re-shot the Kats. Happier with the photos now

Awesome work as usual!

Cheers Para. Really happy with them. Think I may need some more - lol
