Fixture of Dakka





Surrey, BC - Canada

Finished the Eldar Wave Serpent for my Wild World entry. As it is wild on how long this troop transport has struck fear into opposing players around the world.
This an eBay recovered hull and some resin parts, supplemented with some plastic and resin parts I cooked up to replace the missing parts and restore the tank to something close to her original configuration.

Starcannons and shuriken cannon





Scatter Lasers and shuriken catapults

For those wondering the pilot is fully painted, but the previous owner did get some sealant on the canopy, giving one side a frosted look.

Cheers,

CB

Alreet then, it's been a good long while since I've posted on Dakka (Or painted) meaningfully, so maybe I'll dip my toe in...

Who better to submit than the most wild, savage and un-tameable of all the Emperor's Sons? Death for death, blood for blood - from Outer Night the Carcharodons come...

Nice wave serpent Captain Brown

Also cool story intro snippet warpig1815.

Well my contribution today.

Another hour or so this morning and I think he’s done.....or I’m done with him. Enjoyed working on him, I actually really enjoyed it, different purpose I guess and now I’m considering my old Warhammer Fantasy Beastmen army....oh gods .

Well pictures or it didn’t happen




And lastly a scale shot with a Warhammer Underworlds Skaven on a 25mm base and the Abominarat from Zombicide Black Plague.

Seriously. A week-old baguette? What kind of monster says that!

Working on some techniques for my dryads. Both these gals were based with snakebite leather (the old paint, not new contrast) got details, and a darkoath flesh over everything. The one on the right got the contrast paint before the details as well. I kinda like the richer wood tone two coats gives. Still need eyes and to base. And do the other 6 and pick the best 5/8.

Alreet, finished up the painting. Waiting on some industrial/ship interior themed basing materials, and this dude should be ready to go. But for now, a little potato quality WIP shot:

I'm in. This will be quite the departure from my usual one or two infantry. I'm finally getting around to painting the Sector Imperialis buildings that came with my Kill Team starter set.
Normally, I try not to watch YouTube videos about painting because I like to think that my style and my ideas are my own, but I'm frankly a little terrified of painting so many huge pieces, so I'm trying to follow Duncan's method on Warhammer TV to a T. Here's the proof pics, before primer and after, and I'm now at stage 3, having done the Zandri Dust spray base coat, rough dry brush, and std. Mechanicus Grey flooring. I'll try to take/post pics periodically either here or in my painting blog so you can see the various stages.
I'm trying to progress the whole kit through each stage together, but for the competition, the plan is to see how far I get on the whole thing and then pick the five or six pieces I like best to enter.
Proof:




I used some thin lumber I had in the garage and some carpet tape (it's 2-sided, dontchaknow?) to stick the buildings to so that I could hold them and manipulate them while I sprayed them to get all sides evenly. It worked really well except for the largest building which took a dive when I turned it almost upside-down. All of the little buildings held fast throughout the whole process though. The difference between the raw plastic and the zandri dust basecoat spray was pretty dramatic, now I just hope I don't screw it up by adding more layers.

Same, though I use blue painters tape and just wrap my boards with it. (Sticky side out obviously)

I agree - I love the way the green eye contrasts with the flames. Great work.
Those retro dryads are pretty cool, too, Nev.

I'm pretty rushed painting other stuff at the moment, but I am going to try to get this Rocket and Groot bust done this month.
I reckon a tree and a raccoon qualify for nature gone wild.

Thanks for the comments on the Phoenix, I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

Are you using an IPhone or IPad? If so rotate your device 180degrees. DakkaDakkas has an issue with some sort of code from apple devices before.

Having missed the comp last month due to moving house, I'm throwing these Savage Orcs in the ring for this month. Had these on a shelf for literally years as I didn't play fantasy but I have decided to add them to my new Ork army as some Feral Orks (playing as a squad of Snakebite Boyz). The big totem guy will serve as a 'uge Choppa Nob and the huge two man spear as a Rokkit Launcha, at least until I can add a proper nob to the group.

So not thinking about the painting challenge when I picked up a model last week and immediately started painting him up, pics are in my P&M blog showing him from assembly to current almost finished stage.

Wrath of Kings Hate Forged Titan.

The white dots on him are the butcher shop cut lines for the different types of meat off the piggie.

Here’s the bare plastic of him next to the painted Minotaur I did, maybe the caption will be “Beef or Pork?”


If I hadn’t finished the Cockatrice last year/early this year I could have a full buffet.
