Sorry to double post, but superb job in Bob and I like the Warlord litter too

Thanks! I absolutely love painting the HPA models. So much fun!

I'm trying to decide for the litter - if I should add 4 or 6 stormvermin? I mean to carry it. I probably won't get them painted up etc this month. I haven't been able to find a 'convention' most seem to use 4.

And here's Bob all done!





more pics on my gallery if you're interested, as well.

Stuff I've gotten assembled over the weekend:





And a little more WIP on my Warlitter:



This week I'm hoping to get more orkboyz done, the Nobz on my desk finished, maybe some work on my son's Triarch Stalker, the Warlitter at least primed, and hopefully the Stormfiends as well.

I don't know what he is, but Bob is looking good. I like the multicoloured approach you have taken.

Loving the sprue use also.

Love the chair you got there!

Thanks guys hoping to get the warlitter painted up soon (TM)

Finished my Painboy in the meantime:

I like where that litter is going Guild . The dok is coming along nicely as well!

update on my warlitter - got most of the basecoat done, some details yet to do, I'm trying to add a couple banners to it etc.

This picture is taken a bit backwards, the chair on top is wrong way round- or so I decided anyway. I think it looks better sitting the other way. The chair's not glued down yet so I can paint it.

here's my finished Warlord Warlitter - well except the Stormvermin to carry it ^_^ Those are still being painted. I may need to paint a new warlord too just because!

not great pictures, sadly, I will take better when I finish him up. He's almost done, just a few clean ups etc. This is a test of a colour scheme for a chess set I'm working on for a friend. This figure will be one of the pawns. Idea being of course the other side will have an inverted pattern of colours.





I decided to finish him off, and my Reaper FB mini contest entry (which I can't post pics of atm due to anonymity of the contest). Got my workdesk cleaned up so I could try to really get back into my languishing terrain entry for the latest Terrain Comp! I got my watereffects from Vallejo in this weekend, so I'm pretty excited to start playing with those. Hoping to have more progress on that piece this week, and maybe some work on my deffkoptas for my Ork army as well.

Or thus goes the plan lol

Nice work on the War Alter, looks very cool.

Excellent work on the painboy too, it's great.

Thanks very much! the Painboy was a really fun model to paint.

Ahh best laid plans o' mice and (wo)men gang oft agley....

Got really sick this last weekend, spent four days getting over it pretty much, finally got something done, pretty much only last night.

As mentioned in the Death from the skies painting thread - I totally stole this metal idea from Januine Doing my deffkoptas now, at least I got that done on them.

Is that a warboy ork I see?

Metal is looking good.

I really like the DeffKopters from AoBR, how many are you painting up?

EDC

That DeffKopter is brilliant. Superb job

@EDC - Dis Meny ^^

Well, I'm trying for a minimum of 3 but maybe as many as 5 total atm.

And now I'm trying to decide how to do the colours as well. I want some of the panels to have random colours, as orks wont to do. I'm thinking as of this moment of putting some chipping fluid on top of those, paint them up, and then chip/weather them that way. I quite like how Jan's metal idea came out with these guys tbh.

@thanks for the encouragement guys! makes me feel almost brave trying some of this new stuff (to me) out lol

*edit*

meh gallery pics are always quite blurry for some reason I have found slightly better pic here:

WIP update on my koptaz

Still working on the pilot, but I'm getting a lot of the details on the koptaz done

Very cool. The orange and purple looks great.

EDC

Great looking koptas there

Thanks guys! I like how bright the orange came out. I'm kind of surprised it's not a colour I use a lot, like at all heh

Anyway I did some decals on them, first time. Thanks to forumites here for helping me get the instructions straightened out. They came out ok I think. Couple spots got messed up but not too bad, overall.

I still need to finish the pilots off and a couple details. I don't actually have bases for these guys. not sure if it's really necessary. I kind of like them sitting on the ground like this tbh.

Anyway, linked cuz pics a bit large: Clicky meh

current WIP - almost done

I'm just trying to finish weathering etc. I did go ahead and paint the rockets different colours/patterns. They came out ok I think. It was a fun experiment that's for sure!

So trying to work on a couple large metal beasties - one's going well, the other not so well.

Jabberwock is going ok:





Imrik's dragon is not :( While I was trying to get the wing that's now off reinforced, its neck fell off >< arrrgh. I'm going to trim the wing join I think so it's more flush with the body, then redrill another hole for a pin, and then GS the hell out of the whole thing. And hopefully that'll work. Sigh.





And while I had the GS out I started messing about with hats for my Orks, trying to do some piratey style hats. I did one with a eyepatch, one with a skullcap and two with tricorne hats (although one turned out rattier than the other).

Metal minis with wings ......

*shudder*

I'm having flashbacks to the Balrog. That was a pain to build and to tidy the joins. I wish the best of success

I just wouldn't!!! TP took one for the team taking on that balrog! Turned out bloody lovely mind

great stuff all round, nice coversion on the BAC captain too

Thank you very much!

Putting up a couple finished pics, which I'd forgotten:

Sir ForScale (Garrick the Bold, Reaper bones, finished picture)



And my finished Deffkoptaz:



Little minor piece, really, that I'm worked on terrain wise this weekend:

Took a bit of a break after the deffkoptas while waiting for glue to fully cure on my metal monstrosities.

I did some work on my Trukk conversion -- which has really become a battlewagon now lol

Added a turret for the gun, on top of the trukk on a rack, added some sides to hang the armour onto, I'm working on the cab and the tailgate as well. Slowly adding many rivets and other doodads.

Deff Kopters are looking ace, I really like what you've done with the rockets.

Nice work on the free stuff hats, suitably pirate-y.

Nice work on the battle wagon, I like the idea that it started as a Trukk then you just channelled Gork (or Mork) and it became a battlewagon.

EDC

Thanks EDC!

It's slow progress I know but it's becoming a lot like my terrain projects - where they tend to literally grow well beyond the simple little thing I was starting with lol "Oh what if I just added *one* more thing?!" hah

Anyway! back from vacation - went ok. Only ok, had some family issues, not to bore anyone, but anyways I'm back and yay! finally starting some painting again omg. I've been away from my painting desk so long! Almost 4 weeks.

Spending too much time catching up on the interwebs and seeing all the juicy new stuff GWs etc come out with - argh. They're killing me! I just started reading "A Thousand Sons", slowly getting all the Horus Heresy novels I can - and boom, Burning of Prospero 30k board game! Swwwwwweeeeeet!

So hobby progress:

1. broke an airbrush
2. got spare working
3. primed a ton of stuffs!

Win

Got this stuff in while I was gone from a trade on Wyrd FB group (a wyrd place, great bunch of peeps):



Got a bunch of stuff built and ready for priming, including a dakkajet:



Also snagged a couple Deathrunners from GW's Silver Tower box set to use as Gutter Runners! I'm liking the idea of using them in AoS vs. my 8th Ed army because I already have a ton of metal gutter runners, and this way they look quite different as well as already having the round base thing.



Also a little actual paint slapped on my Jabberwock model from Reaper:






Automatically Appended Next Post:


Took a pic of my horde, unpainted, and in WIP stage but still feels awesome to see it all together hopefully it'll motivate me to finish more
