Oh boy oh boy! Here we go...

Now I just need to figure out how to base them.... and gap some GS in.









Also while I was at it, I finished up my Vraskians too.

The Tanith should always be a scout platoon, preferably Veterans to take advantage of the BS4

Those RRs are very beautiful! I want some now...my wallet hates you!

I need to figure out how to base those RRs....they came with the big HWep bases, great for dioramas but that isn't the proper IG Codex RR base...and it makes their assaults less concentrated in 6th.... problem is I have no long bases, I would have to make some.

As for Tanith. I'll be going with veterans.

-Lord Commissar as Gaunt
-Dorden as Priest [to keep him with the group]
-Scout Squad with Corbec having a shotgun (assault lasgun, so I don't have to remodel)
-Ratling Squad (5 snipers includng larkin)

-Admech for the hell of it :3

If I ever need a 'stronger' alliance with my sisters for competitive play I will simply put another platoon in or what not.

Ayanti zweil is the crazy old man priest, dorden can stay as a medic

marbo =/=Mkoll

Yes but I don't have medic option in veteran squads... I don't mean fielding Dorden as an actual priest, just taking him under that to keep him present on the table.

Also no room for Marbo, as the ratling-snipers will fill the 1 elite slot I'll have.

You should base the cavalry on 40mm round bases.

Desperate measures for my eldar. A week of soaking...it seems these wraith lords were sprayed with a generic spray paint to base them. Then sprayed again with another paint color. Looks like someone tried to strip them before too. A new brush didn't work...so I resorted to desperate measures.

Rough. Kitchen. Sponge.


It doesn't seem to be damaging them... I will be careful... but the paint is thick. If I can get it going, the brush can finish the rest I hope.

You're only worry would be bending a limb or breaking something off the wraithlord

Yeah, its working out. By next week I should have paint-less wraith lords. Its taking that long to get the paint to release. After a week of soaking in a material thats yet to truely fail me.

alot of nice stuff here, i especialy like your cavalry!

I've begun using a dental pick to gently remove paint from nooks and crannies like on these sisters of battle seraphim. I'll post a larger progress picture soon enough along with making a list of what is currently being worked on (a lot.)

Working on a base to get an idea of "what i want"

I'm going for a boggy-swamp feel...and I do know the colors are a little muted both on the zombie-guard and the base...but I really think LOL NEON GREEN nurgle is NOT good looking for 'the rot' - perhaps for some things...but not this.

The plan: Soft-glue everyone to basic bases, do not color said bases. Then when I feel like doing hand-made bases I just yank one or two off their bases, and do it. This allows me to have a playable army and base them at my leisure. Bases are not as important as my army projects for the most part, so I don't want to bog down my already massive project by hand crafting bases before doing my actual models.



Automatically Appended Next Post:
Did a test in a bottle cap with the quick water...it shrank way more than I thought it would, a little shocked... and the dye pooled in the corners (quite alright.)

Anyone got any tips on using water fx, let me know. I'll have a photo soon, my camera lens is not connecting for some reason... got to repair it.

So far so good! Resin is already on it and setting.

Looking good, I'll be lurking.....

I am humbled you have interest in my work. Yours inspires me greatly. I envy some of the things you've made.

Also update!

I got excited, and chanced the water without seeing how my prototypes would work out. It is looking good. The prototypes have since dried enough to tell me: I made the right choice.

This photo represents the base in it's near finality. Just drying. Tape = cheap retainer for resin. If this works fine, I may cheat and not "dig into" the base next time (it is a lot of work...for so little reward.)

It looks really well detailed, but the dark shades should keep the base from outshining the mini using it. Very well done.

He isn't done yet, in the sense that I have yet to glue him on. I'm debating on how I'm going to do that and what position (this is my favorite.)



Base without him.

Camera charger has died and currently broke...no progress pictures until then. I won't bother further bumping this with crap photos either. Hiatus until recharger is acquired.

WIP ofc, stumbled or injured officer of some unlucky loyalist guard force.
Will be based in the swamp base similar to my test base earlier.

Planning to have one upright zombie, another one or two emerging from the swamp, and some hands. Possibly a nurgling sneaking up.

WIP part 2.

Well he's completely screwed. I like it, can't wait for it to get painted!

I'm back in action after a long hiatus.

I'll have images up soon.

-Report on the eldar stripping: 4 months of stripping and some of the paint will NEVER COME OFF. Turns out things like the Eldar Guardians are pretty much ruined, if they are anything like the 2x Wraithlords. The yellow walmart paint fused with the plastic... the lords are salvageable though due to large surfaces...doubt it'd work for the guardians. Most of the metals are saved but they need a lot of manual cleaning to get cracks clean. Not sure if I will fix them or sell them at this point, just to much to do.

-Sisters are being cleaned again by hand. Tanith are ready for paint.

The primary project is still my renegade guard - and with the advent of 7th, I will include two major projects on my table soon.

Good cam damaged this will have to do.

Currently working on NDP here, had to re-do some of the paint so he looked a bit scraped up - don't worry! He will be getting the same "base" treatment that my nurgle guardsman had - you can't see it clearly right now, but there is depth to this base. His left foot and some of the nurglings will be sunk into the swamp mire.

Working on this guy - desperately needed my tank up. Renegade Eradicator

Armor done model-wise. Finished up a Chimera. Heres what I have finished. I still need to do details (Liquid Green Stuff rot) and gap fills, before painting.

WIP Leman Russ paint job (Received from ebay. If you are the seller, I'm sorry for painting over your good paint job.)

Going to do most my vehicles like this, but I just made up a lot of the paint work as I went along, so each may be uniqueish... I still need to get some depth into it maybe, but I am wary of making it to bright...

Yellow Paper + Yellow Bulb = not good, but couldn't wait to share.

Got 12 of these guys off ebay - some of you might recognize them as Doc Thunder (if I recall right) 's old Rough Rider Birds. (see 1st image)

I'm torn on what to do with them.... chaosifying them wouldn't be to hard, someone suggested a Bearded Vulture scheme (see 2nd image). Suggestions?

It's a Chocobo! Also that second image isn't working.
