CrazyCanuk Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 With a big local tournament coming up, I decided to take this opportunity to try and hammer out my Raven/Death wing DIY army. Yeah its only like 30 models. But I am painting them all yellow. God help me Anywho one week in and most of my bikes are done. I still need to finish converting Sammael and paint another attack bike. I need to do some more detailing ont he weapons, but that is a last minute type thing that I am not too worried about right now. Priority 1 is to get all the actual base color down. I do have to give thanks to nordy for coming up with this scheme. I owe you a drink bud! ;) Right now I be working on the termies...all 14 of them at once. Thank god I got some rocking tunes. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/CrazyCanuk/Picture151.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/CrazyCanuk/Picture154.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/CrazyCanuk/Picture152.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/CrazyCanuk/Picture153.jpg Oh, and I need to finish a speeder in that time too. And to top things off, this weekend is a write off due to parents/gf visiting. T-9 evenings till game time!

sgtNACHO Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I have yellow guardsmen and they don't seem to hard to paint, its just Golden yellow with Sunburst highlights. I've never done all yellow marines before, I'm sure its a whole different experience. Good luck Blasted family and friends always getting in the way of the stuff that really matters huh? :) :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/174000-1700-points-in-3-weeks/#findComment-2057512 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCanuk Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 Well the original plan died out a quick death..but I continue on. I finally got around to this project again and have been working diligently on getting this army completed up as quickly as I can. The quicker I can get these to table standards, the quicker I can work on my next pet project (Space pups). At least there will be no huge pressures on getting them done quick. I am currently working on 15 Terminators to help flesh out this army. After these termies I have two apothecaries, an attack bike and a speeder to compelte. Here's hoping I can get everything done by the 30th! (Tournament!) On to the pics! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/CrazyCanuk/Picture187.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/CrazyCanuk/Picture188.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/CrazyCanuk/Picture189.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/CrazyCanuk/Picture190.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/CrazyCanuk/Picture191.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/CrazyCanuk/Picture192.jpg I really need a better picture taking setup...

Appo Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 1700 Points in 3 weeks? Personally I think your Bold and Nuts! :P Seriously though, your yellow looks like it's been painted well and your terminators look REALLY good. You've inspired me to crack on with my Avengers, I think I've only managed to paint a squad so far this year, what a part timer!

khalaek Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Wow man i feel your pain. I was going to try and paint almost 2000 points of Word Bearers in two weeks starting next week. From the looks of things you're heading in the right direction. I love how smooth the yellow is. How did you do that?

CrazyCanuk Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 To be fair I failed on the original goal of getting it done in three weeks. The goal was set back in July..so yeah. Although I got the bikes done in three weeks, so that has to be worth something. With the goal to get the terminators done by the 30th its almost like a speed painting session. Kinda. As for the yellow I cannot take all the credit. Unfortunatly I cannot remember the member of this forum I got the recipe from, but basically it's Iyanden Darksun then a healthy dose of yellow ink. Tis all. Relatively quick and a fantastic result. Not much work has been done in the past couple days due to getting all moved back home for the holidays. Here's hoping I can find some time to finish off this army! :S Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/174000-1700-points-in-3-weeks/#findComment-2223920 Share on other sites More sharing options...
