Actually surprised at how quick the highlights and details came together. I need to do some final checks and cleanup then the basing and I'm ready to call this big box finished.
With that, all the Leviathan characters are complete!
Fun to do Blood Angels in another color than red. Maybe I should do some Death Company to keep up the variety. I feel like I neglect the special BA units in favor of a BA themed army of normal Astartes units.
Final character from Leviathan is on the table. Trying something experimental and hit all the white armor with blue shade, then tomorrow I will bring it back to a blue-leaning white and hope to leave this as shadows. It worked on Sanguinary Guard wings once, but never tried a whole mini.
Last of the Leviathan squads finished up! I tried to get the veterans to a good step between the red and black for the basic guys and the excess of gold that the big characters get.
I buckled down and did more green-stuff work today. I think the Knight Tyrant is almost ready for priming (we'll see if the weather agrees). I also tried the PVA + superglue trick to make some 'fleshy' bits to blend the tentacles to the chassis, I'll need to see it primed to find out how well that worked. @warhammer40k #hobby#HobbyStreak#40k#Warhammer40k#WarHamFam#WarhammerCommunity#miniatures#ChaosKnights
Had the chance to sit down today to get some progress done on the War Dogs... and 2 hours later I am not sure where the time went but hey, the Executioner is fully assembled and all the base coats are down so that's good right?
Using this month's free guy to test my assumptions for doing veteran Blood Angels. Base colors and shade applied quickly. All the brown will become gold eventually.
Nitpicking final details on the Infernus, starting the Strenguard, and the sisters I grabbed off the shelf while looking for a particular magenta because I suddenly thought they couldn't need that many colors.
So for the Knight Tyrant I've put together a Rhino to act as a scenic base. The plan is to paint it as a Dark Angels tank (My buddy plays Dark Angels). So I'm putting down an initial metallic layer with rusting and then I plan to try the hairspray & salt chipping method. @warhammer40k
Wrapped up my Terminators but I haven't sat down to take she photos yet. Picked up the momentum to start the second half of the Infernus and a pile of knives with a lieutenant hidden underneath. Base colors are down, metallics next. NMM or normal metallics on all that knives?
Almost at the end for these terminators. Bases need shade, highlight, details, rim, and Tyranid head. Then two faces and two power swords. Some heat damage on the assault cannon. Final touch ups and I'll call everyone here finished.
Grabbed these from my random second hand marines when the new versions were announced. I'll keep that color scheme for the new scouts when they drop (c'mon new Kill Team box). Looking forward to better jump pack poses.
Also, check out that scale creep between the old scout and the new captain!
My desk is a mess from all the plastic shavings, but the next four War Dogs are all assembled! Hopefully the weather cooperates tomorrow and I can begin priming them.
The last Settlement Event from my Kingdom Death weekend was Murder so I grabbed this mini and started it right away when I got home. I think I was too hasty with the primer and it ended up with a gritty effect I didn't intend. Maybe with some layers and blending that will go away.
Back to the Blood Angels after my #KingdomDeath diversion. Cracked open a fresh pot of Flesh Tearers Contrast for them. I hadn't realized how much more concentrated the old one had been at the end.
