Looks like chocolate (I'm hungry)

Pretty much finished a quake cannon design and kept it very simple for printing next week. The front and back ends get turned so the broad end is on the build plate and get glued together, the red magazine will be printed separately and either glued to the back like you see there like a gravity feed or glued underneath like a chain feed depending on what looks best.

Third evening, fatigue sits in. I can't nmm chrome three legs, transfer and weather these buggers before tomorrow. Bweh, they're playable, rest of the painting can wait till next week.

Okay, back end of the quake cannon is done enough. Figured I'd put the magazine underneath so the 3 parts will be printed separately along with a couple of more plasma cannons and some Reaver meltas I modified.

Well done on those Warhounds!

Well done. If you allow some suggestions: the back part of body looks a bit plain, some pipes/cables or even simple plates slapped upon it would make the gun look more alive. You could use a FW reaver gatling boy as an example - it has some service "hatches", ports and other mecanically-looking bits. Just a little more details at this stage would make a model look really nice.
I myself have tried making carapace guns for the warlord this way, after failing to find sutable variants in the net, except for an awesome laser blaster. At first I made some basic looking guns, and they were ok, but after reprinting with more details they are much better. Now all that is left are the arm macroblaster and the powerclaw.

Oh I know it’s basic but I don’t have a printer in my building and I submit my files one per week like the public even though I’m staff. Adding extra detail means more chances for things to get “hairy” or “squiggly” around overhangs. I have tons of plastic and wires to just glue on, I had meant to do that on the back of my plasma cannons but I went ahead and primed them along with everything else one day.

I meant for the stuff I’ve printed to be proxies till the really detailed weapons are released but that’s either far away or (given FW’s recent US prices) going to be stupidly expensive.

I could totally see them making a plastic weapon sprue with one plasma, quake, and Gatling cannon each, then a pair of megabolters, laserblasters, and gatlingblasters for like $50-$75 on top of a $110 Warlord. If FW makes them out of resin I could see a plasma or Gatling cannon costing $15-$25 each. I would totally prefer to have the detailed weapons but I have four Warlords...

Oh and your megabolter looks way better than mine. My last file I sent to the printer had an adapted carapace weapon swivel base so my guns won’t look like they’re just sitting on top of the armor piece with the magnet. They should be done this week so I can submit a file with my quake cannons, I hope they turn out okay.

Well, it's a basic warhound megabolter, covered by an armor plate from top and sides. Mounts are the same for all weapons, and I basically ripped it from that awesome laser blaster.

Oh, and right now my Warlord volcano cannon just detonated. That was a nice hab block there, also.

For those who don’t have enough Warlords they announced the variant with plasmas, laserblasters, and a power fist.

dont even have a warlord, so im in no rush.

but thouse knights looks very cool, gonna grab a box just cuz of the coolfactor.

Wip...Homebrew legio...Legio Cascadia! Thoughts? C and c always welcome and thanks for looking.

That heat damage looks fantastic! How'd you do it??

Air brush... I just copied that scars miniature madness guy...



Does anyone know how to make the pics smaller?

Cheers

I love that’s dirty, chipped white. That’s what I’m going for too.

Fever gave me 2 days to paint. Got orks done way faster than expected(13h paint session helps) so started these ones. Half weapons not magnetized yet

Looking good!

Gordon Bennet, there is amazing work going on here. Sherrypie, I love your Warhounds!

I'm just finishing up a trio of Knights and assembling two small plasticard buildings, so once I have those done I'll post a photo.

Here's my Adeptus Titanicus force so far (V much a WIP)

Legio Astorum and House Vyronii Questoris Banner

I commend you for being able to paint with a fever, I couldn't. The Mortis paintjob looks so badass.

I love the Warp Runners, that looks great!

Well it was not super hard fever. Biggest issue was to be carefull with cough to ensure brush doesn't suddenly go to wrong spot!

I started messing with Folk Art color shifting paints and it’s really gluey, it has the consistency of something like white glue or molasses. I tried thinning it with matte medium, water, and glaze medium to varying degrees of failure. I’ve got a few more colors being delivered and I’ve either got old stock or this stuff doesn’t have the right body for miniatures.

Cheers! Just waiting on the full-colour decals for Astorum to come out before I do anything else on it.

I'm experimenting with the color shifting paint for Astorum, the orange doesn't look good and I'm still waiting on the blue and yellow to be delivered.

Started weathering titans and ran into problem. Was trying to follow the guide on warhammer tv. It uses rhinox hide for which then highlight colour used to draw line under it. Problem. On black armour rhinox hide is not visible...

Any other colours that could be used? Eshin grey with silver lines? Or silver and then use eshin grey to do the lines? Something else?

Depends, do you want the armor to look like it's chipping to metal or another layer of paint underneath? I used to use dark metals followed up by a lighter metal sparingly on orks.

You could go leadbelcher and then highlight with a light gray.

Raaah! Fifth session has been finished and they are done! Done I say! ... done I say and retreat to the corner muttering about how the scroll work remains undone until the blighters have earned them on the battlefield and how the water effect is still going to dry transparent and get higher sprays to show the mass of the engine and...

Bah! Pretty much done anyway to the point where I am damn satisfied with them and the fact I'm still not a shaking, nervous wreck after all that trim.

So, joining Warlord Iudex Ultionis, the just and all-powerful Judge of Vengeance, we have:

Edax Rerum, Devourer of All like time itself.
Occisor Spesi, the unescapable Murderer of Hope.
Echo Dolorum, the Echo of Sorrows that rings over the land.
Cineres Immensi, the Vast Ashes are all that remain from those who dared to oppose their doom.

Neat! Is that dual flamer?

Yeah, for maximum burnination

Sherry that isn't a colourscheme I'd ever think of and I really like it! Love your work on them, the glow on the energy weapons looks great and the chipped paint on the armour has come off great.

Hope you don't mind (and will take down at your request) but I was tempted as you'd spent time putting a background in; and did a little edit adjustment. Mostly just tweaking the contrast and curves a little, giving it a little of a straighten and did some sharpening to try and show them off better.
