Hi Nevelon
Bathroom silicone is the key, you can tease it up while drying.
Then prime it normally.
Painting start white then yellow then progressively less dry brush darker spectrum, tips at top of flame black.
Great effect and the stats on that weapon and its fluff, almost must have unless you points pinching.

Any chance you'd be willing to post up a video tutorial? I'm planning to build a captain pretty identical to yours, BB/SE/AI, and I'd like to be able to make it a feth-off cool fire effect like that

lol Bathroom silicone, genius

Good luck everyone. Another impressive model finished very quickly para, you are far too good at this.

My Proof


and what I'm aiming to make

Midget I bow to your awesome!

It’s Junior. The squig’s name was Indianork,

I'm going to try doing this BA chaplain. Not got a clue how I'll do him at the moment, hopefully inspiration will hit shortly after priming him. =)

I wonder if hot glue would work? That's what I thought you were using in the build pic.

OK, I need to stop dithering about on what to do. My entry is going to be at least one of the BaC terminators.

This is them from their prime pic. (Ignore the stalker/hunter) I’m going to try for the whole squad of 5, but don’t be surprised if only one of them makes it across the finish line.

This is my finished work, i don't have a good photocamera but i hope you guys like it

Really nice work!

I'm so desperate to start mine I'm doing other projects! I need superglue but won't have time to pick it up before I go to Denmark in 2 days

Some really nice work there @piratepizzadog! Really love how imposing he looks as well!

Thanks guys, i really appreciate!

Would Zardu Layak be eligible for this month? He's carrying the Azurda Char'is, a potent artifact Forcestave

If he is, then here is my proof of assembly:

Absolutely fine. Pic isn't showing up, though.

Yay! I fixed the image - And thanks!

Finally back at the pc and able to post proof pics.



I hope they qualify for the theme Paradigm

Hot glue would probably work. Silicone is a pain to work with, the time you can work with it is very short so its either too floppy or hardened such that trying to tease up the flames results in you ripping great holes in your silicone.

Recommend testing on a bit of wire or stick first. Let us know how it goes?

You can remelt hot glue as well

Would a necron pariah (conversion) fit the theme this month?

I can't see why not, they're pretty ancient if I recall!

Might not be a positive characteristic..

Progress!

Would love to show my progress, but FW is still showing my order as pending! Ordered it on friday, and I'm 95% sure it was in stock when I bought it... If it isn't updated tomorrow I'll have to get in touch to find out.

@Piratepizzadog: Awesome mini!

This storm eagle does not want to cooperate - such a pig of a model

Some assembly WIPs. Progress is slow due to work and only just getting superglue 3 hours ago. It will get there eventually though, had this build in my head for 5 years and its finally coming to life!

Proof!



now to see if I can balance out the huge kicker of death guard painting with some solar auxilia

WiP on the Than. Still not 100% sure if he'll get finished this month but hopefully he will

In the words of Wayne and Garth:

"WE'RE NOT WORTHY, WE'RE NOT WORTHY!"

Welp, don't need to enter this month

If he ends up as good as The Orphan's Wrath then we all may as well hand you this months prime score!
