I've been working on a Crusader/Redeemer the last few days, the magnets are in the hull ready for sponsons, and the interior is done, complete with rushed OSL.

Should get the majority of the assembly done now, then I might be quiet for a few days as i've got a contest entry for Throne of Skulls (link in sig) to paint.

Very nice - the OSL is great even if it is rushed. It's good to see progress on the LR - even if it will just end up being a target for my tankbustas. ;)

 

Unless they get torched by Redeemer flame cannons first.........

 

Should be doing a little more construction tonight, it's time for the hull to go together, then i'll be working on the sponsons. Weather permitting I might be able to get some paint on it in the next couple of days or so. If not, i'll start working on it's occupants.

Sounds good! Have you tried your airbrush out yet?

Not yet, that'll probably come out on friday when i've got the time to spend on getting it right.

Can you show how you did the magnetization for the sponsons? I know how I did them for my LRE, (and in my magnets video) but I just want to see how you did them, since you said they're in the Hull.

 

Great interior too.

 

 

Cheers. I ended up doing the magnets in the same way as your Super-Heavy Raider, i've got enough left over sponson parts to get away with not hving to magnetize weapons so it seemed a good way to do it. Took bloody ages to do though.

The inside of that LR is absolutely incredible!

 

I'm really looking forward to seeing such a fantasic paint scheme applied to a much larger model than anything you've done before.

 

Kepp up the great work.

looking really nice Midian! quick Q, where did the sword icon on the front side of the raider come from? is it cut down from one of the winged swords on the DA vehicle sprue?

just asking as i'm using the same badge for my Emperor's Blade Chapter (although unlike your good self, i've only got enough shoulder pads for Sgts and characters, got to hand paint them on all the rank and file marines. you jammy beggar! :) )

Correct. Just cut the wings off and your good to go. You can use the one with the skull on it as well, you just need to be a little more careful cutting around the skull.

 

I think I posted this on your other thread but, are you using the tactical arrow transfers for your marines or are your hand painting them on?

 

This army is looking awesome!!!

 

Im using transfers, then painting over them. Easier to get sharp lines that way.

 

How're you finding the Airbrush?

 

Are you going to do anything interesting paint-wise to it? Any heraldry/markings/etc? I saw a nice Red Scorpions LR on Warseer which I'll try to link you to at some stage. Is the LR going to have black insets like your Rhino did?

 

The airbrush was an interesting experience, had a bit of trouble re-assembling it, in the end I got the mrs to do it as I put the trigger guide in back to front and couldn't get it out. :lol: Loss of main points there. Nice smooth red though. ;)

 

As for interesting paint jobs, im not sure yet. Im thinking about adding a small shield to one side, but aside from that and the swords the only other things i've added are purity seals. The black insets will stay though. Im just worried about making the whole thing too busy by adding loads of freehand. I will weather it though. I've got some new MIG pigments to ply with so that should be fun.

 

Im just about to glaze the red and paint the black insets then i'll add a more up to date picture.

 

 

Thanks to everyone else that posted, im glad to see people like the force.

Theres some nice work inside that tank, I hope someone gets to see it :)

 

If no one else, at least I will.

 

I've done a bit more work over the last few nights, most of the metals are done, the skulls and eagles are done, next step is the green on the lenses and purity seals. Once there done I can get the sponsons full assembled.
