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.

Of course I won't mind, glad someone liked them enough to do so. The pictures were a bit grainy as first my phone camera couldn't focus on the whole miniature for gak and then my brother's system camera was optimized for photographing fungi details from one cm away in daylight, but what can one do. Buy a proper thing one day, it seems

On the scheme, thanks! The on-going motto for this project seems to be "if it didn't step out of a baroque painting, yo doin' it wrong foo!"

I've got some Warhounds winging their way to me in the post, but forgot to order some magnets for them.

Any idea what size they need to be?

Cheers.

I\m using 5mm magnets myself.

Thanks for that. Are they 1mm or 3mm in height?

The water effect splash is is inspired. Thanks for sharing.

1mm. 3mm would be huge. 2 of them together would extend weapons way too much for my taste and they are strong enough to hold anyway.

You're a star! Cheers for that.

Sherrypie these warhounds are gorgeous, very very nice results

With regards to magnets I used 3x1mm magnets for the weapons and 4x1mm for the legs - torso joint. For the head I used a 3x1mm magnet on the torso (drilled a 1mm deep hole) and a 2mm diameter steel ball in the head itself (in direct contact with the magnet).

And catching up on the previous posts I love all the titans and knights I see. The quality is intimidating.

Amazing results Sherrypie.

Where are the little guys from on the base? Are they the 'not-epic' Krieg horses from Vanguard? If so, your color scheme choice makes sense.

If not mistaken, these are all from the original Space Marine Epic Imperial Guard box: rough riders, ogryn trooper, imperial commissar, IG officer, assault troop with jump pack, robot, IG bikers.

To me their scale is just perfect.

Has anyone come up with a good case solution?

Battlefoam? Magnetic Shelves? What case can fit a few Warlords, enough for two armies?

I'm looking for buying from KR multicase. One AT package claims 2 warlords, 4 reavers, 15 knights, templates and cards. They also have also another foam that claims 4 warhounds. That is enough for most of my needs(not all though. Would need double that basically with spare knights but doubtful I ever carry both my legions in force. What happens when I get 3rd warlord though...)

Thanks y'all, glad you like the Hounds

The fellas on their bases are indeed all 100 % old GW, my brother had a pile gathering dust somewhere and I gave them a new purpose in life. Since they are in scale with the new titans, they fit rather nicely in there to make the engines feel properly huge.

Their scheme is chosen in accordance with my Death Guard force, auxilia fodder who use green hazmat rubber coats (very common raincoats in the Finnish army), as a joke on their quality gear.

Nowhere near Sherrypies warhounds but been adding transfer sheets and weathering 4 Mortis ones. Victorum are later. Also working on 2nd half of this knight unit and weapons for those warhoundt(that's 32 weapons to paint)

Very respectable Warhounds you have there!

Its a shame GW didn't provide more options for the Questoris Knights like you have...

Green and gold is a great looking scheme. I have no idea what to do with mine.

I'm thinking Imperial Hunters right now for my Imperials, currently my Legio Fureans are getting their third experimental yellow paint method.

Legio Xestobiax grows a little!

Looks great!

White panels are blocked out, doing some gold trim and I need to get some Leadbelcher behind the armor before shading. I’m not a good painter so there’s some things to clean up after shading.

Looks good fajita fan. I will be trying to paint yellow starting from a similar color and washing.

Try Rustoleoum yellow primer from Walmart, it’s way cheaper than GW’s Averland cans. Their aluminum finish primer is pretty solid if the weathers right.

Basing and first warlord done for real.

Looks evil, Mortis looks so badass.

Always good to see Mortis!

I’m hoping to do my second Warhound tomorrow.

Finally. Now I can box it up and never ever play it with a full sense of accomplishment.

Well where do you live? Louisiana? Not sure where state of Jefferson refers to.

Jefferson is sometimes used to refer to the "decidedly more conservative than most of the rest of the state" part of Northern California.

Well then you are way west of me. Can’t help you there.

Good looking, cohesive groups there, doktor_g! How about some bases then before boxing 'em up?
