Cpt. Bannockburn Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 I primed and basepainted the green today for these three guys and the ten intercessors. I also gave the THawk a coat of gloss varnish to prep it for an oil color pin wash (probably sometime the week after next). Furthermore I experimented with the clear plastic sheet I got, and I see cockpit window panes sometime in the future once I figured out how to cut it without breaking. or splintering at the edges.

Cpt. Bannockburn Posted July 25, 2021 Author Share Posted July 25, 2021 And I finished up the Inceptors from yesterday. Tomorrow, they'll get bases and decals, and the next project starts: 10 Intercessors.

Cpt. Bannockburn Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 I've been a bit silent in the last weeks, but I made some progress. Sometimes more, sometimes less, but progress still. I am currently finishing up the last base colour, and after that shading and detail work, before experimentation with heavy weathering for this intercessor squad: I have also received my order of a 10 man infiltrator squad, which I will probably start building next week or the week after, but latest during my vacation, if our new puppy lets me.

Cpt. Bannockburn Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 Got some work done today, I present some before and after pictures: With and without weathering: And with and without streaking grime. Enamel colours are nerve wracking - first you finish up everything, then you slop a big gloop of brackish green over the whole miniature. But revealing it again with a q-tip is very satisfying. Beside the inherent unkindness of zooming, it does pull everything together, though. I probably won't do that for the whole army, but at least the coming infiltrators will get the same treatment. These intercessor will be based tomorrow evening and then I'll take some more pictures on Sunday. Finishing them up means that I only have 13 marines to go for the 5th company: 10 infiltrators (which are already in my drawer and waiting to be built) and 3 more plasma inceptors (not yet bought). I will probably start building the infiltrators next week, but since the next two weeks will be very busy it will be some time yet before I can start painting them.

Cpt. Bannockburn Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 Squad 5 of the 5th company is now finished. I'm not sure if the pigment powders are worth the effort, but at least they don't look bad. I'm satisfied with the outcome.

Cpt. Bannockburn Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 Thank you, it was an experiment, and I think I'll repeat it, at least for the infiltrators. It also gives me something to work from when I start weathering the Thunderhawk. I have very little free time this and the next week, but I managed to get started on the infiltrators. I prepped the bases and built three. They've got a bit less chest plate design, so I decided to fully build them, which should cut down a bit on time needed for priming and painting. I hope to be able to prime the week after next, but since our puppy arrives soon, I will have to see how that goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt. Bannockburn Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 These guys are now on my table: I've not made a lot of progress since I also have someone under the table. However, I might be able to prime and basecoat them today or tomorrow, weather and time permitting.

Cpt. Bannockburn Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 (edited) Took a good long while, but I finally got them (almost) done: They just need a coat of varnish, a few pigments and snow on the bases. This means I only need 3 more plasma inceptors to finish up the company. I'm getting excited. Before I order them, I'll probably finish up a Talonmaster. Edited November 6, 2021 by Cpt.

Cpt. Bannockburn Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) The infiltrators are done (although pics will have to wait for better light), and I ordered the final four infantry models for my 5th company: 3 Inceptors, and a Primaris Techmarine. In the meantime, I've finished something that has been in my painting box for a good 13 years: the multi-melta from Assault on Black Reach, to kit out my dreadnought for an upcoming crusade game. Apologies for the blurry picture, the light is terrible in the evening. And I've gone back to my Talonmaster (who began life as Sammael in Sableclaw). It's pretty much ready for the tabletop, but I will be painting the details a bit better as befits a character model. You can see on the lower right how I will deal with highlighting the black, and it's practice for the Lion himself. The one thing I'm still undecided about is how to paint the sword. I want it to be a Heavenfall Blade, but I am currently a bit unsure about how to paint obsidian. Any tips or recipes that someone may be able to offer? Edited November 13, 2021 by Cpt.

Cpt. Bannockburn Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 Finished up the Talonmaster, after many years. It's not perfect, but pretty enough. Interrogator Stobz, bigtrouble and Chaplain Raeven 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Never seek perfection Brother, that lead s to failure, which leads to disappointment, which leads to ruin. To toil in His name is sufficient. Also, really nice mate, the sword turned out great. Cpt. Bannockburn 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt. Bannockburn Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) I've ordered a Dark Angels Relic Contemptor after Christmas and it's on its way to me. Unfortunately, my last 3 Inceptors and the Techmarine are still taking their sweet time. In the meantime, I've begun painting an Age of Sigmar Stormcast dragon army, so the updates here might become a bit sporadic again in the nearer future. Edited January 1, 2022 by Cpt.
