I LOVE your painting.. I am subscribing as soon as I push submit...

EDIT: SUBSCRIBED!!!

Thank you Magnus.

Hey guys got an update for ya with what I have been working on. Between work and star wars I have not been painting much but today is a day off and going to be a good build day. Though I am here to show some pieces I have painted up. Comments and criticisms are welcome.

Lookin' good!

edit: oops this was for your 500 pt list ^.^
id make 1 squad of 9 warriors and thatll open up your lord to have mss. well worth it and that way if you want to attach him to a unit a squad of 9 is worthy.

really like you stuff so far though man keep it up!

if it helps ill post a pic of my ghost ark and a cryptek and how i did my metal for the red parts. Perhaps you want to try something similar with your blues to get this metallic feeling color rather than a more flat blue. If not its all good just a suggestion ^^

I added a little bit of biltgun to my base red and colored up from there, then did a blood red/machite/red and mithril silver mix for all the edge highlights of the vehicle to make em shine and pop. The layering of the red was mainly drybrushed in a pattern to give the metal a bit of a swirl feel where its darker red in some areas and brighter in others. Give it a go and maybe youll have a result you like :-) I can take a better pic tonight of my ark and barge if you want to see it a bit better.

Hey DaBenz I would love to see a blown up image of your ark if I could. I really like the way it looks from the thumbnail.

Alright so I have not been painting a lot but I have been building up a storm over the last few days. I did some more work on my anni barge. I put together 10 immortals, 5 are kit bashed, 5 Deathmarks, 1 cryptek, and 1 ghost ark. I re-worked the heads of warriors to tie them into the scarabs. Here are some photos.

I wonder what this is for....

Looking good there! If I may ask, how come you decided to place the ark bit for the barge and the ark upside down? It seems, well... a bit silly to me.
Also, nice crawling cron conversion. Maybe he could serve as a good objective marker or something.

Im not sure why I decided to flip all the fronts around I just like the way it looks better. The crawling Necron will be on the ghost ark base to add a bit more character to the base. I always love going OTT on these bases.

Alright I just finished up the flight stand for the ghost ark, let me know what you think.

Suitably awesome!

Thanks cosmic. I can't wait to get started on the ghost ark, I think its gonna take forever especially since there will be a lot of them.

Hey guys, just a quick update. I have been working ridiculously because of lack of staff at my job so it has Cut into my Painting time. The annihilaton barge is soooo close to being done and I will have pictures up as sooon as possible. After the Barge I will be moving onto my 10 immortals and the rest of my scarab bases so do check back for updates when they come.

goooooood!
can't wait

I have been busy tonight....creating...something sinister!!! Something crazy, something Wraithy muahahaha. I give you my take on Frontlinegamings guide to building a wraith. All credit goes to Front Line Gaming for original guide and design. The only difference I made is using a shield for the body. Please let me know what you think.

:O
It's the spitting image of myself!

All jokes aside, excellent work

Hey, nice take on the Wraiths! So, will we be expecting more of these creations, or some of the official models when (if) they come out?

Alright I have been busy building and gaming but I did get a fair amount of painting done today. That command barge is highlights away from being finished, also need arms and head for the drivers, and I built a bunch of lords, crypteks, and wraiths. Comments and criticism welcome!

Nice to see progress on the army. Can't wait to see them fully painted up!

Liking the front 'blade' on the anni barge.

Fantastic progress, GaussGuy!

It is coming slowly hahah, I do have 3 days off coming up so I plan on having the immortals, scarab bases, and Anni barge completed.

Thank you, still a bit more work to be done

Cosmic wrote:Fantastic progress, GaussGuy!

Appreciated.


WELL I played my first apocalypse game today for the warhammer 40k 25th anniversary and it was ridiculous, 17 players at 1,500 points per player. I got the shaft and was up against 2 grey knight players on my end. One was using Mordrak and ghostknights with a librarian and multiple Dreadnoughts. The highlights of that area was that I managed to redirect a lascannon shot back at the dread that shot it and blew up his Cannon arm. Another moral victory is I killed mordrak's units by combination of shooting and assaulting along with using wraiths to effectively lower initiative and Mind shackling his librarian. Other than that crypteks blew up some dreads and my immortals just would not die.

All in all a lot of fun.

Got an update on my immortals they are coming along very well. Here are some progress photos of the immortals.

Excellent work on the white! I like the colour of the metal. Good job!

Thanks Cosmic. Well I just made the best purchase ever (In the history of my purchases) I blindly bought a friend of mines necrons for $150. Now to my surprise when I got through the mass death, rez incoming, I found 2x monoliths, 15 x destroyers, 4x heavy destroyers, 80x warriors (Useable anyway) 2x wraiths, 1x lord, and 1x c'tan. (Nightbringe) Now I have not counted all the flayed ones, immortals and pariahs I have eyeing but I must say I think is definitely a steal. What do you guys think?
