Stormtalons Progress 2

Posted on Jul 31, 2013

Painting is been slow recently, but I have some updated pics to put up of the Stormtalons current status.

I Think I’ll be done with the clean coats of these 2 soon enough, when I get time of course.

So far, all my Space Marines have a very clean look, and I eventually intend to weather them in some way although I have not decided on a method for doing so as yet.

In the meantime, I’m quite liking the look of a ‘clean’ army, as I’ve never had one before. My Orks have always been very dirty and grimy looking, which suits them well, but this change is refreshing.

Yellow Marines FTW!

Stormtalons Progress 1

Posted on Jun 10, 2013

So I’ve been working on my 2 Stormtalons the last couple of weeks.

So far, progress progress started well but has been relatively slow. Assembly went together pretty quick and relatively easily, but painting has been a slower process.

In the pattern of my current process I assembled the whole model (minus the tech marine pilots) and began priming then applying base coats to the models.
For some reason which I now regret a little, I decided to pre-shade the models. On the 1st I used thinned GW black paint and on the second I used Vallejo grey primer over the white primer. This was a bit of an experiment to see what the effect would be especially since the black paint is so much darker than the grey primer. Next time I may attempt just using different shades of yellow to shade.
As it turned out there was not much of a difference when the base yellow went over both colours, as they both covered about the same. The Vallejo is easier to acquire and apply, as it comes in a handy airbrush-ready dropper bottle and is pre-thinned.

As I plan on continuing to use the GW Averland Sunset yellow for my Space Marine army, I think I’ll still need to mix those regularly, as required, and leave them pre-thinned in a dropper bottle.

Imperial Fists Sternguard started

Posted on Mar 18, 2013

I’ve started (more like continued) my Imperial Fists Sternguard models I started long ago.

They were half cleaned up then put back in their box, then later cleaned up some more and put in a different box. I’ve always wanted to do these models justice especially due to their veteran nature and I have been working through my normal tactical Marines instead. Read the rest of this entry »

Something a little different… Flyers!

So with the relative conclusion of the Razorback and Rhino, I’m looking forward (Or should that be back?) at my lengthy ‘hobby backlog’.

I have a list of things including an entire army of Necrons in that list, and it got a little bit longer this week when I purchased 2 more models. Read the rest of this entry »

Rhino & Razorback complete

Posted on Mar 7, 2013

So I’ve been working on my Rhino and Razorback (Or 2 Rhinos) the last few weeks.

Earlier this week I finished both models and have some pics to show.

I would say I’m pretty happy with the results.

I’m pretty happy with the magnetised and swappable rear turret on the Razorback, but I’m a little disappointed that I managed to lose one of the hatch covers.
