Gillyfish Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Very nice indeed. I like the chipped paintwork on the speeder too. I always did wonder what a DA green speeder might look like. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krewl Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Just a practical question, when you model it like this, are you still able to use the scouts as lose models when they disembark? It does not look like you could use the models as normal scout models so that's why I asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODM Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 Thanks guys. You can't use the models unless you magnetized them, but they're not really sculpted to work properly off the speeder (although I did consider it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pueriexdeus Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Looking at the pic. Seems as though a player will need a separate 5 man Scout SQD to be on the board to represent the disembarked Scouts. Now the Q is; can the LS Storm then be used as a HB platform to support the Scouts it just dropped off? Hmmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to have a seperate squad, like any other transport.The storm has an HB standard. If you were really good you could, you could convert them if you wanted.

ODM Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 Here's the next project.

Isiah Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 That's a lot of plastic in a box. Might need to stock up on paints to cover it all :D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillyfish Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Either that or someone's buying an airbrush! Really looking forward to seeing you tackle the Fortress - I'm hoping to receive one for Christmas, but my wife's already muttering about the size of the model! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODM Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Here's the biggest badass kit I've built. It's freaking cool. As of this point, IMHO anything is possible for GW. http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/fortressbuild.gif Now I have to figure out how to paint it!

Peter Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 sooo lucky that you where able to get a a Fortress... also, can DA use storms??? it would be cool if we could another thing, it wouldn't be "ravenwing" jet black because why? i don't mind that its green it looks cool but as fluff goes... meh what ever it looks great nice work :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODM Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 We can only use them using codex SM. It's the only way. I can make a force to represent Naaman. As for black, scouts haven't earned it yet. 10th company stays green. sooo lucky that you where able to get a a Fortress... also, can DA use storms??? it would be cool if we could another thing, it wouldn't be "ravenwing" jet black because why? i don't mind that its green it looks cool but as fluff goes... meh what ever it looks great nice work :teehee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ODM Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 I hope I don't disappoint! Here's my test paint for the fortress. I'm doing this bunker section first, to get it right. I've completed the base painting of the structure, and then chose one side to complete, to make sure I am happy with it. I think this is the scheme I'll go with. My goal is to complete this section this week. http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/fortresstestpanel.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillyfish Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Very nice indeed! I particularly like the contrasts between the industrial grey and the white and red badge. How did you get the heavily weathered effect on the grey background? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ODM Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 Thanks guys. For the gray, I built up drybrush layers -codex, space wolves, white- then gave the whole thing a badab black wash to darken and unify the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Ciaphas Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Hail ODM I think that it looks awe inspiring. No doubt about that. Would it be possible to get a step-by-step photo representation? I am plotting to get my own Fortress of Redemption some time this week, and, well, frankly, yours is the best painting result I have spotted to date!!! Cheers, and keep up the productivity.

ODM Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 Sure thing Master Ciaphas, it's nice to positive feedback. It's difficult working in a vacuum. I'll try to do the step by step as I start the next section. Here's the next night's work. This bunker is mostly done. I have to paint the heavy bolter, and then paint some of the metallics on the tech panels, cameras, and then the pipes/wires. Anyway, the heavy lifting is done for this section. If I use my time well this week, I can finish this section and get the drybrushing done on the next section before I go back home this weekend. http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/fortressbunker1wip2.gif http://odmiller.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/fortressbunker1wip.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt. Bannockburn Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Your works are really awesome :tu: I never gave feedback until now, but I enjoy reading your updates. I'm extremely jealous of how well you do and how quickly you work, though ^^ Giving me a lot of inspiration, particularly the fortress right now.

krewl Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 If I might be so bold... I would break up the parts you now have in just the weathered bone (Or is that a metallic colour, hard to see on the pics). It looks like large area's of bleached bone and then washed again. They have the bits of banner/scrolls on them that I feel would look better is picked out again with either a dark angels green or a Dark red/purple coulour, and then perhaps some scriblings on them. Apart from that it's comming along great again as we are just about used to when it comes to your work ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODM Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Thanks guys. Krewl, I'll keep your comments in mind on the next section as this one's done. Pics to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
