Loving the admech stuff!! 
Could you give a quick explanation on how you did your oxidation on the thanatar's mortar? It looks incredible!

Well thanks guys I'm glad I didn't disappoint anyone too much!  they were all a blast to paint up and wave 3 will be suitably epic as well! I really love that metal finish too  so much so that I might be using it on my own army this year  and did anyone see the secret addition? I thought you'd be all over it by now!
The basic rundown on my metals is depending on the grime I want. black undercoat with a metal primer over the top then it's just washes washes washes.....and paint  I start with Agrax, then Black then I add scratches and discoloration then I use Sepia, darken recesses with black again then scratch again and wash sparingly with Agrax again, I use thinned orange paint as a wash for rusts and for the Thanatar gun I used P3 Beaten purple in a few watered layers followed by a royal blue to get the burned look. then I washed it all with purple wash and highlighted 
can't wait to see what the year brings us all and where the hobby goes, interesting times ahead I think (especially Cadia)
and in regards to the Annual Nerdcademy awards, you are correct, it is indeed nearly time for another one! I just need to find some models boxed for 2nd place and get another trophy printed! anyone want to donate

Secret addition? It's got to be the plinth, right, it's the only thing I see in the pics other than models!
Nerdy's epic post of awesome pictures spoilered below so you don't have to jump back a page to look 
The legs belong to the model pictured below, and the transport model next to it is the only "big" model in the last wave for nerdy to do with some sweet alternate myrmidons to ride in it:
The big models are from Industria Mechanika, and the Myrmidons are from Wargame Exclusive . Should round out the army really nicely with nerdest's awesome work!!

Oh shoot, totally missed that
Yeah, that's temporary... sending a new head as soon as Anvil Industries casts them up! (Was missing one, so Damo put in an infiltrator it seems... lol).

So, since I had a couple of days where I could have a break from painting I naturally started painting again  this time I've begun a model for my Imperial Fists army Brother constantine, Contemptor Dreadnought! I tried a different way of weathering so far, I see a lot of painted on cracks and chips so I thought i'd try it properly on him and see how i go, doesn't look too bad when paired with my usual way
I'm waiting on another fist to arrive for him and i'm trying to find a plain contemptor head online but can't find one yet (I lost mine) so I'll paint what i can until then.
What do you think so far?

Wow, really great looking contemptor - even if he is missing parts!
You've pulled off those scratches really well. They're in logical places and it's not overdone. And they have great depth.

well, i've been busy, lots of shifts at work and that along with the season it's just been crazy but I have not neglected my duty of being a guardian of the sacred brush and as such I have built and finished wave 2 of RiTides admech force
