I do like the gold bits on the figures... just makes them stand out a bit. If I wanted realism... I'd be doing some kind of WWII game.

@ Snrub: Yeah, he isn't technically a "loyalist." It's kind of, um, complicated...yeah...

He's an Executioner mid-Badab War, so he's sort of killing other Space Marines. And by sort of I mean is actually killing other Space Marines. But only Howling Griffons and Space Sharks and Novamarines and Excorcists and Salamanders and, well, quite a few other chapters. The Tiger Claws called in a debt and I don't know if you've ever been in debt, but a man's got to honor an obligation.

In the end, the Executioners did get the lightest punishment.

@Git: tru.

Moonpie stopped by today and he had some executioners with him. I snapped a couple shots and uploaded them for him. I think the camo aspect of them is done. They look pretty sweet so far.

Oooh they're funky looking.

Ironically, the camo really makes these guys stand out. He did a really good job on em!
Really digging the drum mags on the heavy bolters too.

I agree. The forgeworld heavy bolters do look fantastic.

Everything looks better with a drum mag. It's a fact of nature.

Excellent work on the camo moonpie.

Thanks guys! Still some work left to do, but I almost never post WIP, so that's what that looks like.

Those FW heavy bolters are sort of addicting.

Thanks for putting those up, Ice.

I am wanting to do the Stormraven, but it is straight awful priming weather. I've been doing it in my apartment...which gets me high.

I do all my priming in the basement during the winter (right in my room, too...). If you can manage it, I have a setup that might help:
I put a furnace filter on a box fan (held by a bit of tape) so that the fan sucks air thru the filter. I put my spray box in front of that assembly, then turn on the fan and spray. This gets you a bit of airflow, as well as eliminating overspray (my dad's one condition for letting me spray indoors ) Provided you dont go crazy with the priming, you should benefit from the increased airflow.

Yeah, I just primed it in the living room. Then I open up my sliding glass door. Physics makes it so the air moves around pretty well when it's 16 outside and 75 inside. I also get to do this because my apartment is GAS HEAT PAID!!!



I used the Army Painter Uniform Grey. I used Administratum Grey and then Astronomicon Grey. It's getting there. I worked on it for as long as it takes to watch Transformers and got the grays and the first coat of Necron Abyss blue camo.

3 more movies later and the Storm Raven is done. I'm not going to say it's good. It's not completely awful. It's definitely done. I have those 5 heavy bolter guys to do. I have the gold to add and purity seals to redo. Hoping we'll have an upsurge in motivation. That Storm Raven took it out of me.

Got to go. Inventory doesn't count itself.

Pictures? I envoke the Git rule!

There you are Solar. Pictures!

Looks pretty cool. Aren't you ruining the aerodynamics with the landing gear down though?

( insert willing suspension of disbelief) .. Looks AWEEESOME!.. Thou I dislike painted cockpits ,, I have to say this one is fabulous!

Are we really going to discuss the aerodynamics of 40k fliers right now?

There may have been a construction issue that left the landing gear out in the front. My bad. Otherwise I think the flier turned out great. I will strongly disagree with Solar and his painted cockpit opinion as well. I've always found the painted cockpits more appealing then the clear ones. In Moonpie's situation the painted cockpit breaks up the camo very nicely.

Really like that. Nice work!

Didn't I say I thought it looked good... It does indeed break up all the darker colors

Well, I'll say this for it: It's done.

Thanks for the comments.
