Lol, no.

These were considerable effort, but the client's paid for it.

To be honest the green has been the most work; if I'd had my wits about me I'd have airbrushed or at the least preshaded and glazed most of the blend work rather than doing it by hand.

That said, I have a real problem in dialling back when I start a project, so mine will probably end up about the same sort of level.

Scary time. Varnish then decals.

Winterdyne, that is a top job and it has been a pleasure to see the maniple in progress.

Thank you!

Go on, treat yourself! I got one buddying up with a freeblade Acastus, both bringing the pain with heavy plasma blast weapons. They work so well that the Qs in the Lance get annoyed...

"Oh for goodness sake, they just have to be the center of attention, don't they!? Its not like were the ones actually leading the battlegroup is it? show offs!"

Ah the workstation of the Magos of the Adeptus Painticus!


So with the discussion of scale a couple of pages back I found this image I love:


I've got a scaled up Epic Land Raider printing tonight that I modified with simple MKII sponsons, the lascannon barrels will be too fiddly so I'm going to just drill it out and glue in plastic rod.

Well, that image certainly puts things in perspective!

I feel like a Carnie should be bigger...

I think as tall as a 2 story building is about right.

it'd be cool to see what the "footprint" of the Landraider compared to an Abrams.

Decals and weathering pass. Now on to trying to get some banners sorted. Final basework and varnish tomorrow.

Does anyone know where to find 3D models for Eldar Aspect Warriors (all types)?

Thingiverse.com but sometimes people obscure the names.

Badass as usual.

Showcase post time.

3d printed banner hangers and banners will go on sale via my webshop and on eBay next week.

Now, pics:

Someone deserves a Slayersword...

They look so amazing...

I think you will.have a very happy client. Great work.

Beautiful

Do you have a webstore/ebay link to the banners (if you are allowed to post).

The gold and weathering/damage are so nicely done

This set is now available from https://shop.winterdyne.co.uk/ (£3.49 - in the accessories category) and my eBay listings (£3.99).

Very nice!

You should consider a kit to stand in for Titan killer infantry.

I think that might end up riding a little close on the IP front.

Yeah, its a shame innit.

Mocking up an Ursa claw for my third legio I’m starting, the Ember Wolves. I’ll probably use a 10mm tube and taper the flamer barrel and spear shaft to make a harpoon barrel. The jewelry chain is the finest I could get at Walmart, I think the spool should go in front of the flamer tank which will be the compressed air tank.

Does anyone know if the ursa claw is driven by air or something explosive? I feel the latter is more Warhammer - like a rocket propelled harpoon is pretty metal.

Those are absolutely stunning Winterdyne - incredible work.

Started painting my prints - solar hunters. Interesting colour scheme to paint

The grey-patch work on the armour is really good.

I spy a ye'olde reaper exarch! Used to have one of those...

I Spy on peoples’ paint desk is a hobby of mine. I used to put something random or funny in the field of view of my pics.

Thanks.

Yeah my desk mostly has old Eldar on it at the moment (from the metal purge pre finecast). Alas I've never been able to get the original reaper exarch, but this one is ok - although of the two I have, neither are standard because shuriken cannons on reapers is just not geat.

I've been building a Legio Atarus force. I'm only one warlord away from a full axiom maniple.

Been having these mostely done for some time now but just put the finishing touches and got them varnished this weekend so while theyre out of the cabinet I figured id post some pics!
Hugely impressed with the name plaques ( www.https://www.versatileterrain.co.uk/ ) the details is amazing and they are painted, cut and glued on without any hassle at all! And adds so much theme to the models!

After this ill be looking at getting some terrain done and maybe add some various knights.
Then Its on towards the next legion I guess

Karl Franz’s poor, poor reactor...

Hes just dressed for cermony, aint no way hes going to war like that...right...right!?

I love the chess piece emblems they use.

I'm working on a chaos maniple and a knight household to keep them company. The maniple is supposed to be Legio Mortis, but with some clearly visible nurgle taint on them. My loyal maniple is Legio Ignatum, and I don't want it to be too close in paintjob.



The new knight upgrade kits are neat, between a new kit, a household battleforce and one upgrade box I should have enough new bits for my exisiting and the new knights. Except for the notable lack of shoulder joints, so I made a part to close the gap.
