ForlorneRaven Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 So with my dissertation finally out the way I've had some time to get my hobby on.I humbly present the fruits of my labours so far, the 'Aquila Ascendent II', a Drenan Pattern Chimera, fresh off the assembly line. The 'Aquila Ascendent II', is armed with an autocannon and coaxil heavy stubber mounted in its turret and a hull mounted Heavy Bolter.-Hope this is up to standard, currently working on fleshing out some background. May even get some painting done!

Sviar Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 @Captain Sox That is great looking model, I really like the multicoloured nose. It has inspired me to try something different with my bird instead of just green. @ForlorneRaven How about naming the Chimera pattern: The Lycaeus pattern.

Idlem Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Finished my vow. Hope the next challenge is Elite or Heavy Support! (*Cough the next two slots I wanna buy units for Cough*) Unpainted. Reveal hidden contents Painted Reveal hidden contents Taurox Prime Background Reveal hidden contents Since the outbreak of the Battle for Montisgard, the Old 256 has been making extensive use of the Taurox Prime pattern of transport for its Kasrkin squads. Able to match the speed and firepower of Waaagh Grimskullz' wartrukks, they have been crucial in the defense of the beleaguered system.Kasrkin Squad 001 have formed a close bond with their Prime, dubbing it "Warthog" (Though some in the regiment insist calling it "Bebop", and in one odd case the "Puma"). With Warthog's auto-cannons, Squad 001 has taken down scores of Ork Trukks, using its Gatling Cannon and Storm Bolter to mow down any Greenskin survivors in a prodigious spray of bullets. This large drain of ammunition on the Old 256's stores is given a careful pass by Colonel Grey, who cannot argue with the kill ratio of xenos that squad 001 has obtained. Reveal hidden contents While written record of the Cadian 256 has been found as early at M36, none know for sure actually how long ago the regiment was founded. What is known is that the Cadian 256 had a most unusual founding. At the beginning of its history, the Cadian 256 was made up completely of brand new recruits formed from the Whiteshield regiments. The Officers and Commissars themselves were made up of soldiers in their first tours of duty. With such numbers of young and relatively inexperienced soldiers in the regiment, the Cadian 256 was dubbed the "Young 256". By the Emperor's grace or luck however, the Cadian 256 was able to survive, even thrive, with distinction and honor. It was in these early years the Cadian 256 was able to earn its first unique quirk. The Regiment was gifted a suit of Knight Titan armor by the last surviving member of a Knight Household. Coming to the aid of and redeeming the honor of this Freeblade, the Knight pledged that his armor would forever serve the 256. Since then, every new Knight Pilot would choose a squire to follow him, and upon the pilot's death, the suit would be passed on and the cycle would continue. "Venerable Iron" has continued to serve along the 256 to this day.Sometime in the 41st millennium, the "Young" 256 would once again earn another unusual honor. Sometime after taking over as Colonel of the 256, a man named Jonathan Grey would lead the regiment to a new series of glory. Earning himself a reputation of a "problem solver", Grey was awarded with the honor of being able to reinforce his regiment with whatever survivors from disbanded regiments he wanted. In time, this transformed the "Young" 256 into a band of grizzled veterans, many of them older than the average guardsman. Grey himself, an older warrior never seen without a cigar in hand, helped solidify the new "Old" moniker the Regiment is now known by. Colonel Grey's reputation as a "tough old bastard" is soundly earned, often seen leading from the front alongside his men. Since their re-branding the "Old" 256 has been seen across a number of war zones, fighting at the thickest of battle. Recruiting the toughest (and often eldest) survivors of each conflict, the 256 rarely slows down, only ever moving forward, looking only to slay those that threaten the Imperium.Recently, the Cadian 256 has found itself upon the front lines defending the Montisgard System from the appearance of Waaagh Grimskullz. With their grizzled determination, the Old 256 has been able to blunt the worst of the Xenos invasion. However, with the sudden arrival of a Word Bearers Warband in the system, the Old 256 finds itself defending a backwater system from the advance of two determined foes. Leading his men in a stubborn defense, Colonel Grey has held out brilliantly against enemies of the Emperor, awaiting promised arrival of a Black Templar Crusade. With the Emperor's Grace, they may be able to hold out long enough to turn the tide and save the system...

How did you do the corrosion, just sponging or another effect entirely?

Cod Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Thanks! Oh and no sponges were used. It was a hairspray technique, inbetween coats of paint and a toothbrush to scrub it back, revealing the colour below. So it really is like paint flaking or chipping off. Real Simple Steps used: Light undercoat in white Base colour all over (I used light metallic red/pink), let dry Hairspray, as soon as dry do your next colour Coloured blue all over (slight metallic added in as I like shiny things) Then used 2 toothbrushes, 1 soft, 1 hard, to scrub back areas to show wear and tear Soft drybrush orange over revealed undercolour for rust, or: Add weathering powders etc to those revealed parts for various degrees of rust The bottom section was typhus corrosion, orange drybrush highlights (didn't have ryza rust orange), then glued green flock. Simple. I have just discovered there are actual 'chipping fluids' to use instead of hairspray, they are mean to be more reliable! Have fun experimenting!

CoffeeGrunt Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Do you use an airbrush? I've heard the hairspray method only works with those.

WarriorFish Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I can never take the method seriously whenever "hairspray" is mentioned. Always sounded like you should be painting in slow motion in a wind tunnel while power ballads play You don't need an airbrush to use the technique but like all things it makes life easier on larger kits/base coats etc Another reminder comrades: this Sunday is the WIP deadline! Get your WIP picture (and vow if you're not in yet) posted in this topic before then or you'll miss out! Don't want to get stuck waiting for the next event for those delicious promotions do you?
