It's a heck of a cool model. I think you did a great job on it.

I would recommend going back over the fur with a lighter highlight though (especially after a wash).


Now with 100% more blog....

Unhealthy Competition With Other Legions





UK

Okay, I finished my entry;


Background;

Atticus and Menos are Terran bounty hunters. Originally officers from a local hive enforcement precinct they quickly became aware of the additional earning potential by performing 'odd jobs' for the local gang leaders. The pair started to become known for their skills and as demand for them increased, the risks started to rise rapidly. The decision was made, they sourced themselves counterfeit indents and joined the local bounty guild taking to the stars trading their skills for Throne Geld.






Hope you like them.

I love those models man. Good use of some empire parts too, they came out awesomely.

Shadowrun is the best game ever. It's the only thing I have ever played in which I have jumped out of a shot out van with a chainsaw to cut a flying drone in half before leveling a building with ANFO assisted by a troll, a dwarf, an elf, and a wizard.

I'm going to have to drop from this challenge. Would love to stay in it, but I have a new job now, so I'm getting into that and am not having the time to paint right now

Try uploading pictures to the gallery from your phone, and posting them to this thread via your computer?

I've had the same problem with my s3, what I do is upload the images to my imgur account from the imgur app, don't publish them to the gallery there, and then copy the links and paste them from a computer to the dakka gallery.

A Protoss colony world

Just a quick status update: the basecoating on my Deathwing Knights is done! Here are some WIP shots (as usual, my photography skills are lacking somewhat):

Now I have to shade and highlight them, so I'm only really halfway done at this point. Ultimately, I'm just following the method Duncan Rhodes used in the GW video tutorial about the Dark Vengeance Deathwing Terminators and it's working out so far. I hope to be completely done with these guys by the end of the week, as I have a tournament at my LGS and I intend to use them! Guess I'd better keep my nose to the grindstone...

My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/7/24, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~16000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Imperial Knights: ~2300 | Leagues of Votann: ~1300 | Tyranids: ~3400 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000 | Kruleboyz: ~3500 | Lumineth Realm-Lords: ~700

Thanks man! It was my first time tackling a terminator since I first started and a few other firsts also. So I am pretty happy with the results.

Looking a very diverse round-up this month. Really looking forward to seeing everyone's work.

Taking my judge home with me this week, and hoping a few days of nothing else to do will allow for some relaxed painting time.

Did I do something wrong, that I'm not listed? I came back and submitted Minty last week, admittedly not much has changed since, bar assembly and filling.
