Master Avoghai Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Wht kind of Grey do you use? Because the Wolf Grey from Army painter seems very nice as a Dark grey... The only things I paint on the sprues are Tank tracks, since it's always one of the last step of painting and it prevents to put metallic paint on the tank when I drybrush them... For the rest, well... I prefer mounting the model before cos when I pull them off the sprue it leaves lots of cutting marks + you risk to put some glue traces on your painted parts...

Tanhausen Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Vallejo Poliuretheane primer Nice and fluid, can be airbrushed (which I do) straight out of the bottle or brushed on the model. Its quite elastic and was originally intended for Scalextric models (you know, the cars that run in rails like the model trains). Its a very clear grey, almost white... which is hard to come buy in the big bottle (which I buy)...and its a neutral colour, so I'm fine with it. As for the sprue techique... I've only done it to give the base colour easier. I'd rather go with a no brainer "this sprue is all black" and airbrush it... then snip carefully and if I need (which I will, I'm sure) I'll do touch ups. BTW, had never noticed that the bike chappy is on its toes... what a horrible posing!

Master Avoghai Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Finished? You know the rules... Pics or it didnt happen...yes, of all your stuff! Well I'll probably post a pic this evening. But only from what I've painted this last 6 months. I keep the pics of the whole 10000pts army for games day with the huge Titan Warlord. Of course, Sunday evening you'll see a new topic about this epic battle with loads of pics. But for now, the last termi is done : http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2352.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/5/#findComment-2762311 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanhausen Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Where is GD france this year? I might consider going if its in the south... you guys have a good level in the Golden Daemon competition <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/5/#findComment-2762363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Avoghai Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Actually, yes it's in the south... ...

Tanhausen Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Merci beaucoup (or however its spelled <_<) Makes sense they do it in a big city but way too far for me.

Master Avoghai Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Well depends... Don't know where d'ya live but if you're close enough for an airport you maybe can find cheap flight tickets in a low cost company... Games day is not too far from the airport of intra european flight. It starts at 11:00 so allow you to be in time...

But if I tell the missus "honey, I'm going over to paris, without you because you work on saturdays, to check out a games day"... Tanhausen, you are not commercial, are you? Let me reformulate : Darliiiiiiiiing... What about taking a plane this week end to Paris just after your work? We'll have a drink on the champs elysees saturday evening. On sunday you can have a walk and discover the city while i'm going to have a look at games day... What about proposing your best friend to come with us? And maybe we can take ou monday off and profit from being there to make some shopping huh? I know someone there who can give me good adresses" THAT is ho to sell your proposal! :angry: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/5/#findComment-2762608 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanhausen Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 You are making soooooooo many assumptions... 1.- I do work on sales :rolleyes: And in any lasting relationship, customers will only get fooled so many times :rolleyes: (except if they buy GW products, then...) 2.- Overnight? Shopping? Leave her alone with a card? Man, I want your salary!!!! I am a lucky man: she's supportive, has help me paint in a furious friday on my road to a GT and even plays a bit... sometimes you know some lines really really should not be crossed... ever hear of a souvenir called guillotine? :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/5/#findComment-2762650 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Avoghai, all your stuff looks great. It sounds awesome that you are getting to do all of this, hopefully you will have loads of fun with it. Not knowing the rules for Apocalypse, can you actually use the Titan you guys will have on the board? (It is also sad to me that you and Tanhausen communicate so well in English and I can barely read or formulate coherent thoughts in French, Spanish-which my Mom makes fun of me for, or Japanese, all of which I supposedly knew at one point - my hat's doffed to you both for that!)

Master Avoghai Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 2.- Overnight? Shopping? Leave her alone with a card? Man, I want your salary!!!! Tssss tsss spare bank accounts my friend... It's also a protection when YOU decide to buy this 3rd vindicator... Cos it's sometimes hard to explain the necessity of a 3rd plastic tank to "play an apocalypse formation"... :ph34r: I'll try to take load of pics to make you regret not coming :P You can also see the Hellbrandt Grimm Titan Warlord conception thread on warseer => here And his greenskins army building => Here (This will be the army I'll face) +++EDIT+++ I missed to answer few questions :oops: Not knowing the rules for Apocalypse, can you actually use the Titan you guys will have on the board? Yup you can mix any army together. could play tyranids and necron with my DA as well (though it would be hard to find a reason why they fight together) I LOVE the red on the LR. Is it Mechrite Red? Kebabyuchenko xxx Nope it's Scab Red. I use a 1st layer of scorched brown Then Scab Red The 1st level of highlights is made with Mechrite Red The 2nd level is Mechrite + Bleached bone Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217880-master-avoghais-quest-10000pts-army-for-french-games-day/page/5/#findComment-2763048 Share on other sites More sharing options...
