Can it be done.....

I ran a apoco game a couple of weeks ago down gift for geeks, and watching Marks warhound stomp around and shoot everything that moved was quite funny, I made a pledge to myself to get mine done before the next apoco game which I was going to run again,

Its this Sunday!!!

So on the "todo" list is....

Weapons about 70% done just need to do a bit more,
Ink the other leg with the second wash
Stick the greaves on the legs after said wash is dry
Work out how to attach the legs to the base?
Stick the weapons to the torso


I've the next couple of days off work and this should be plenty of time to get this done I hope!

.... and 20 B&H please... AKA Piccy up date!!

Ok some how, not too sure what I didi I've got the camera software working again!

So this is the battletech stuff I've completed recently, and I'll the latest pic's of the Warhound I've worked on it bit more.

Panther

Firestareter

Giffin GRF-6F (allegedy one of the best all rounders in the game?)

Catapult

Ok so on with the titan,

I'm yet to ink the Legs & Torso cover but you get the general idea,

The legs from various angles, I'm hoping that the ink stage will dull down the metals. The ankle greaves are yet to be stuck on but are nearly done so the lower body is about there, I'll be weathering the feet as well so it kinda blends in with the base.
The only thing I need to work out is attaching the legs to the base, a couple of 6 inch screws through the bottom should do the trick!

You can see the colour differance between the torso and the cover with pre & post wash, I've yet to see it all togeather and so far its looking quite nice, once I've done inking and stuck the greaves on I'm sure it's gonna look sweet!

Close up's of the cockpit with its shiney new cover, I've used the GW inks quite a lot on this model and the boney spines on the head where a doddle...

Bleached bone
Light wet brush of skull white
Devlan Mud wash
Gryphonne Sepia wash

and what you see above is the finished result!

Do Noisemarines like Drum & Bass?

Well shiver me timbers and all that jazz, I still carn't suss out the issue with me camera, I think its the software though so I'll have a jigg about with it at some point...

The title???

well me & ross was discussing what would noise marines listen to rather than the usual answer of METAL! I thinks thats pants and something that would make you wanna dance all night would be cool! This was during the shooting phase of the campaign game tonight where the necron immortals really earnt there name!


Meanwhile back at the ranch the titan has been coming along in leaps and bounds over the last 3ish days I've managed.....

• To finish off the torso inside & out
  

• To finish off the cockpit cover

• Make a huge dent on the legs with some drybrushing of the metal picking out the brass areas ready for the highlighting do the foundation red ready for the normal red
  

• Do the same as above with the leg plates & the ball protector ;) and the top cover for the torso,
  

• Started the weapons with the tin blitz on the metal areas but I'll be doing these last to kinda "finish" the model mentally for myself,

 Now before you ask I've no idea why I've got my "paint" on I just have? so I'm gonna take full advantage of this and crack on with the Nurgle bits I've left I might do the forgeworld Mk2b landraider that I want to "nurgle" up or start on a load of epic I've picked up from a chap in the `states or finish off my skorne for hordes.

Now the question is what would you like to see?? (assuming I get the bloody camera going!)

Answers on a postcard so post a comment and don't be shy ;)

Errr.... OK?

Greeting to the masses!

Well its been a couple of weeks and apart from getting distracted by a new MMO called Aion & company of hero's Its been quite productive!

I finished the Bloodclaws for GFG and they appeared to go down quite well so all good there and that give me my mojo back to crack on with the titan, The upper torso is nearly done just a little bit more work on the red and it'll be there, I've started on the cockpit cover & the torso cover as well as the legs.

The saga of the missing pistons continues Forgeworld keep sending me the wrong bits but I've given up ringing them for a 4th time! so I'll make my own!

I the mean time I've finished off my Battletech stuff for a onging campaign down the club and they look quite nice dead easy to paint only problem being is my camera is on the blink and won't let me up load pictures for some strange reason? So you've no pics this time once I've sussed it out I'll get them up!

Anton out.

Ragnar..... Get to the Thunderhawk......

So the week started like.....

This was supposed to be a painting day round Spencers but ended up being GH world tour loving as well as some hawx thrown in there for good measure ;)

however after some focus and staying away from the distracting things within my home (the computer & Nadine's lovey boobies)

I managed to get this little lot done, now before I hear screams of where's the pack & comapany markings... I'm trying to find my 3rd ed codex with all the fluff in it so have left them plain for the mean time, also the sand is still drying as I type this now so that'd be sorted by Monday night, I'm kinda in shock I set myself a dead line and managed it!

The Squad was made from a box of the new wolves and a normal tac Sqd, Stef and I split the wolf box and I opted for blood claws, Stef went for the grey hunters. I've seen Stef's test model and it does look really cool but mine are done so there ;) 

The "family" shot

   

Just for you Mr Molds....

Well after much moaning from the man like Spencer I've taken some pic's for ya, I've not had much time recently and been a slacker on the titan, too much beer & warcraft but I'll get cracking on with it at some point!

Gifts for Geeks asked myself and a fellow wolfman nutcase aka Stef to paint the new shiney wolves for the shop and I nearly bit Dustins hand off for that oppertunity so thats my focus at the moment to get those done to a decient standard and attempt to out do the local workshop as there overall painting isn't what it used to be,

so on with the show....

The base that I done whilst twitching on relentless...

The lighting claw body guard for typhus with a heavy flamer for good measure

The first squad from the ebay guys that I won used the same technique for the previous death guard and they look mint,

The cockpit of the forgeworld warhound, the red is still not floating my boat but I'm going to carry on with it and see how the whole model looks rather than making a snap decision based on the head, the internal were quite easy to do so I quite happy that Spencer convinced me not to cover it up

Close ups

The main torso internal work in progress, I've not stuck the centre door in just so that I can get the brush to where I need it to got I've only a little bit to do and then I can apply the wash and then crack on with the external brass and red, then I'll do the legs and finially the weapons so the theory goes...

And a little something to keep me going completely to the darkside! I'm going to see if I can get these done by the end of the week so Gifts for Geeks can have them a week early before release, thats as light as I'm going to take the armour I've had a thumb through the lastest white dwarf and the masterclass guide is nice but I paint armies not models so gonna keep it basic and neat but rather than gold every where going to go for brass should suit the wolves nicely

This is where the "magic" happens...

Ok so Its been a while since I've updated, but boy oh boy have I been busy!

The warhound is assembled, after much chin scratching and faffing about its been primed and worked on, I started with the cockpit to see how the techinque that I've used on the death guard would work on the internals of the warhound, and as I thought it works fine with the chaos "factor" in there the dirty grimey look suits it very well,

After talking with my personal Wikipedia for 40K (Lord Molds) a dark red carapace will be the main colour scheme with a brass edging, throw in the odd dark looking boltgun and thats the vision, Once I've the cover for the cockpit done I'll post some snaps so you see the kind of effect that I'm going to be going for.

I've also managed to get the base sorted so that the model now has a home to live on and its not too bad if I say so myself! dead easy to do....

• Can of relentless
• Tank brush
• Some loud music
• Done!

to keep in with the theme and to kinda give that sly wink to Ross with his beloved Dark Angels the abandoned rhino is of course a very dark looking green no chapter markings but you know who you belong to ;)

So after I did the cockpit the main torso insides are going to be worked on and they are ready for the metal highlight and then onto the fleshly bits to give it the fresh exploded human corpse look!

So look out for pics over the next few days for the progress on the titan and the recent chaos terminators that I've also completed which had there fabulos first game roll out where they decided to deepstrike into a bastion and decided to destory themselves!!!

Oh how me & Ross giggled at that as we played our "joint" strike force attacking an imperial line in Jack's Campaign down gifts for geeks, Surprisingly enough charging across an open killing field with a few bits & bobs of cover went as expected... enough said.
