Gonna make a stronk start on the Cerberus tonight, looking to get its tracks and main gun done in metallics at the very least, with a view to finishing it tomorrow.

Weekend I want to get at least one Praetor painted, as I’ve got my first HHv2.0 game a week on Saturday. Which is nice.

Filed, glued and magnetically based my MTO Stone Trolls ready for painting.

Checked my ancient painting schemes notebook (started in 1999) and according to that, the first 3 I painted used Midnight Blue/Storm Blue (black hex top pots?) as base colours. This was replaced with Necron Abyss (white top Foundation paint) for the 3 I bought later.

Now all of those colours are probably replaced, discontinued or renamed many times by GW.
I can't even find a good replacement on the old; https://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/paint_range_compatibility_chart

Any suggestions by those of you old enought to remember those paints I named and familiar with the new ranges?

Cheers!



Need to match my ancient...

Playing the most stress free game of 40k I have in a long time.

2v1 game. 2k DA vs 2k Deathguard.

For my 1/2 of the Deathguard I brought 50 Plague Marines & 2 Icon bearers.
My job is simple: score objective points. Maybe opportunity kills.
My partner? He's doing all the fighting/killing.
So far we're winning 50something to 12.
I've lost 7 models atm

Working on another 65 of these fools.

Finishing painting my Legion Ceberus. Taking a half day from work on account my Brain Is Melted, so looking forward to extended mind-breather hobby time.

Yesterday, I finished applying wash to the red parts of my landing pad last night. I would've liked to paint the yellow, but delayed it until today when the red wash had dried.

I finished painting the yellow and hazard stripes today. I then began applying the dark grey wash to the landing pad. I frigged up, though, as when wiping the excess off with toilet paper, it began to break down and left lumps. Is there anything better I can use if anyone knows?

Thanks!

Right now, Kantor Blue might be a good match for those. I still got a Necron Abyss pot (nearly untouched) and compared both on my pallet, and while they are definitely not the same shade of blue (Necron is darker), I think it would work good enough here, especially if you go over a black undercoat. I use Kantor a lot over black primer for my Nids and that create a dark base that might match Necron Abyss pretty decently.

Not modifying the originals, and a surprising lack of rubber bands in my house means I can only glue and secure one piece at a time. Finished half of this today (working around a newborn's schedule). See more on my Project Blog.

Kit bashed myself a 30k Mortiant (sp?) SM character with jump pack & two disintegrator pistols.
This ones made from the legs/chest/head/arms/shoulder pads of a 30k SM & the back/jumppack/plasma guns & cables of a 40k Inceptor.

Other than one of the cables turning out to be off center (it'll get fixed) I'm quite pleased with the result.
