I'm curious about something a while earlier, what's the Prosecutor's gun made out of? I'm working on some Ogryns from WHFB Ogres and something like that would be a killer weapon for one of them.

Keep up the good work!!
facekickery - Thanks!
- The Prosecutor gun is made from an Ogre Thundertusk crew crossbow for the stock, the original Nurglii right hand, the bulky bit is from an Ork Loota big gun, the barrel is a dreadnought exhaust, and the sight is from a SM Terminator

Galorn - Thanks!
- I agree about a blade and you might notice most of my minis have knives, but there's no existing blade that isn't too big to fit anywhere except her back, and I want that as bare flesh... so let's just say she has a stiletto in her bodice and a karambit in her boot


Working on the Brute tonight:
Take a Venerable Dreadnought's leg-armour:


Cut and slice and sand to this point:


Add GS strips and viola!


Also GS'd the body into the pelvis fully:


So the major work on the body is complete, just have to finish the gun-arm and the legs... (just, he says; and laughs whimsically...)

Thanks for looking!

Gun arm finished on the Boss:


Final body repair on the vent/gill things:


And here's WIP of the next member of the Skeleton Crew:

Not a major mod, because the original model is so cool, still to add a power pack for the weapon and finish the weapon.

Thanks for looking.

Nice work on the boss, and I love that Skeleton Crew guy. Cool chestplate, and I really like that gun, simple and straightforward. What's the original model? I dig that head.

Now thats looking rather splendid is that GW crackle paint or another brand on the brute, it really has come together some nice conversion and detailing work not normally my point of interest but keen to see how this develops now.

As for Crew Gunner I love that model has so much potential for conversions, I like what you have done with it especially the chest plate simple but effective.

LDD - Thanks!
- The crackle paint is Tim Holtz Distress Crackle... while the effect looks ok it's still too much like cracked mud than cracked paint, as I put it on too thick (this is the second try...)
- I'm going to strip it down and have a third attempt

- As to the Gunner, the original Vostroyan sniper model is pretty cool apart from the awful gun - hence the total re-build

Well, they do say 3rd time lucky and yes I see your point it does look a little thick but if you go to thin it might night be effective.

Have you tried a test run to see how thin you can go with a desired effect ?

I quite liked the rifle myself but I see your point

LDD - before I do a third run on the model I'm making myself slow down and do a complete test piece - pics to follow.
- The Vostroyan's supposed 'sniper' rifle looked ok, but having some experience in the field of weapons I just couldn't let him have that awful offset scope - he wouldn't hit a thing! Ok, so I just like making my own guns...

Here's my paint test involving Tim Holtz Crackle paints...

Krylon Rust Brown undercoat, salt and hairspray layer:


GW Castellan Green spray (Citadel spraygun, not an airbrush):


Tim Holtz Picket Fence (White) on left, Tim Holtz Clear Candle Crackle on right:


Crackle paint dried:


GW Castellan Green over spray:


And this disaster after attempting to wash the salt away:

As you can see, much more than the salt was washed away - this is probably due to either not enough 'tooth' in the undercoat, possibly the hairspray itself, or the green layers are just too thin

Cheers!

Maybe I didn't see that you said it, but with the salt and hairspray method, you're supposed to seal the paint on with a satin varnish (that's the standard GW sealer) before applying the salt or hairspray. The sealer protects the paint beneath from the corrosive effects of the hairspray and salt.

Warboss_Waaazag - Thanks for the input!
- I purity seal the rusty coat, but not the green coat which is over the salt, because that would seal in the salt - the problem (after more experiments) turns out to be the hairspray - too much, and it's firm-hold, so it's basically glue.

Great painting you manage to achieve a texture to you're painting style, do you airbrush your miniatures or use a paint brush ?

There always seems to be an almost stipple effect to your colour blending which seems more seamless, if you would be happy to share your technique it would be very much appreciated

Your Brimstone what was the base of the figure by the way ? Bases turned out well although why have you kept virtually the same theme all the way through

I still think the Kroots colour is brilliant and bright, don't know how you achieved it but it really gives an alien esq. to the miniature

Great work mate

LDD - Thanks!
- The texture seems to come from using black and/or white GW primer from about 20cm away, so you get a 'dusting' effect rather than a 'splat!' which I find clags up the smaller details.
- I'm very careful and patient when priming to build thin layers up - I'd rather make 3 passes with just a touch of coverage each time than one pass with complete coverage
- I (currently) don't own an airbrush and rarely using my GW spraygun - though the effects I'm going for on the Brute will require (at the last test) about 5 sprayed layers not including the priming

- Painting technique:
- I undercoat as above, and always use the 'zenithal' technique - black or brown from underneath, then white from on top - if the final paint job has lots of lighter colors, I give it more white
- I used to paint watercolors, so I tend to water my acylics down to wash consistency, and use many layers for each basic color
- I tend to do the medium shade first as a base coat, then the shadows, then the highlights, but there might be three layers of each - and I go back and forth between lights and darks towards the end
- I 'blend' my layering with either an oil wash or an acrylic glaze as a second to last coat, then finish with the last highlights
- I learned most of this thru the Miniature Mentor 'Speed Painting' video, and then trial and error

- The Brimstone Inquisitor base model was a metal version of the now Finecast Chaos Warrior Khorne Lord: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440108a&prodId=prod1160055a
(... mmm, with the failure of Finecast, I wonder if GW will remould him into plastic? I'd have another go at him if that happens!)
- His arms are from an old metal Chaos Chosen, and his head is a Space Wolf Terminator with the hair shaved off

- The bases are similar to help distinguish each retinue - the Skeleton Crew will get their own style, and the Ordo Xenos ladies as well
- I may actually replace the round-lipped bases with standard 25mm GW bevelled ones - I though the round lips might give them a certain style, but it's actually very restrictive working inside that space - on bevelled edges you can overlap things a little

- Painting the Kroot:
- He was a special case - if you go back and look at the PIP images, you'll see I first base-coated him purple - I use purple as a base coat for all my human skin too
- I then sprayed GW White from a can from directly overhead, because the purple layer was stronger than I liked - I don't normally do this
- Over that I washed the skin with a single layer of transparent GW Snot Green
- Then I used the secret weapon - Yellow oil paint, thinned a little with white spirit, carefully dabbed onto the lighter areas left by the zenithal effect of spraying white down onto the purple
- Let the oil paint dry a little, then did some careful blending - oil paint sort of blends into the under layers as you drag the paint brush away from the color blob
- Once it was dry I made a thin glaze of GW Scorpion Green and applied that, as the Yellow oil was 'way too yellow, not green


Dr H wrote:Nice bases. Still really like your rust.
Dr H - Thanks!
- Rust: Brown base coat, dry brushed metallics, brown oil washes and brown pastels as the last layer - simple and effective

And so here's the current status of the SC Gunner (I really must get him a name...)

Thanks Lamby that was really helpful and in-depth will try some of this out and see how I get on with it

I do kind of remember the purple now you mention it but would have never thought of doing it for the base coat

I might have to pick your brain again once I start painting

LDD - No worries.

Nice work again you really achieve that dirty grimy dust land look, its something I want replicate on my models eventually.

The yellow pops nicely but dull enough not so that it gleams, and the black and yellow tubing really works well in contrast to the rest.
The test marine has some cool looking texture would work great for Nurgle, especially with that colour pallet you used.

I will pop and have a look at the video now, thanks for the link and help very much appreciated

After some suggestions on another forum, I re-did the Malleus bases on GW 25mm - thanks to PDH and JV:


Meanwhile a bunch of various Dark Eldar, Dark Elf and Daemonette bitz have been stuck together to form the following WIPs of her retinue:








These ladies have come together without any real planning, as such I'm not sure where they'll end up...

Had to get the Brown Stuff out (I refuse to capitalise Brown Stuff down to BS... you can guess why...) to fill some gaps in the Skeleton Crew bases:

These are similar in style to the Ordo Malleus, without the mesh floor - I liked the look of the cut-out showing the sewage even though they're fiddly to do.
Hope to get construction done in a day and then painting done by the end of the week...

As always there's sculpting medium left over after the primary task is done, so some of it went onto one of the Ordo Xenos retinue:



And the last of it went to the Wretched Sons (note the slight name change - this is to tie some fluff in later) marine:
