Rhetoricus Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Really like your work bro. You've just become another reason that I enjoy spending so much time on these boards. Keep it up.

NightHunters Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Rhetoricus: Cheers Brother! Been a while but blocked in the colours of T-TST. Question to the board, can I paint the 120mm shells in the modern silvery off white or work with the old school brass? Cheers all!

Heru2012 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Brass those bad boys, silvery off white would be lost with the greyish white of the internal doors imho. Loving your stuff dude...awesome sauce!

Pulse Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) That "T-TST" is too awesome! :P Agreed - Brass 'em up!!

Master Toddius Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Very slick. This gives me an idea for an objective marker! What are the rules you're going to give it? How many points?

Kierdale Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Throne that looks good! Makes me feel guilty for rushing some models get them on the tabletop. And yes: definitely brass!

NightHunters Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Master Toddius: thanks Frater, but sadly no rules, all just for a diorama I am working on. Happy to hear anyone's thoughts on it though as would be great to include in my IA! Kierdale: And thanks to you brother! As I don't really game I have absolutely no excuse not to take my time!! And for sure, old school brass it is, hopefully slap it on this evening along with some initial weathering.

Brother Agrippen Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Night hunter, Ive been playing catch up reading up on the pages of this log, and i must say im massively impressed by the level of work and detail your putting into guys they look great on tabletop, is the camo scheme based on schemes the Germans used paint their fighters in world war in ? and i love the support vehicle, lovely detail and also address something ive always wondered about how do marine forces sustain themselves in the field ? As the mini and in the books it never explains where all their ammo goes lol great stuff, cant wait for me, BA.

NightHunters Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Brother Agrippen: Thanks indeed Brother! The "camo" has indeed been likened to WW1 German planes before and I wish I could say it was but the initial idea came from an eldar (heresy!) wave serpent I saw in white dwarf many, many moons ago! And regards the support vehicles you are absolutely right, that is something that has always annoyed me too!! On to tonights actions: Initial weathering done and a merry hour drilling out some spent shell casings, FUN TIMES!

Montuhotep Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 It's been said before and I'll say it again; the amount of and attention to detail in these things, especially this resupply vehicle is incredible.

NightHunters Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 Paladin7221: Cheers brother, always happy to hear it! Brother Agrippen: Thanks brother! got a bit washed out but almost finished it now, shells brassed up, and some better shots of the weathering in the cold light of day! Alrighty, couple of finishing touches but this badboy is basically done, Next up: Bikes. Lots of!

NightHunters Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Lordy, sorry guys, been neglecting these guys a little! Boramar: Many thanks and glad to hear it brother. Pulse: Yeah so am I, the light grey would have been an error! Kierdale: Cheers mate, weathering is really something I am looking to improve so that is great to hear! And just cheeky long range look at what these are all going toward: Cheers all! And if anybody knows a good way of making realistic grass areas on a board like this for the love of the emperor do let me know :) FTE Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/12/#findComment-3114317 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) Good evening all! It has been far, far too long since I last updated this thread but I had visions of finishing it for the daemons but that, sadly, is just not going to happen :P None the less, a couple of looks at the diorama as it stands at the mo: Quick reverse shot of the board: And a couple of close ups of the "action" Quite pleased with a couple of the conversions, the standard bearer in particular and the reloading marine gets a nod too. But as a bonus, I really have worked hard on some skills, notably weathering which I am now really quite happy with, yay! Hopefully I will pick the pace up a little on this but with real life being what it is I can't guarantee it! Cheers all!

Razblood Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Lovely work as always :) Have you thought about using synthetic broom bristles cut to length for the grass? In my minds eye I can see it working quite well, but then again my mind has some strange ideas about what works well :lol: Just an idea.

Biohazard Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Love the standard bearer. How did you get the arm positioned like that? If you dont mind me asking?

Subtle Discord Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Damn you! You just gave me an awesome idea. All with that one last picture of the 'Rhino hitch'. Thanks, like I need more of them bouncing around my brain. But how can something this slick, tight, and well executed, not inspire great ideas? Stellar work, as always.

Kierdale Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Great stuff! With the marine reloading: is that the reloading-pose arms from the landspeeder storm? One more question if you don't mind: how do you get the weathering powder into the creases and crevices? All to often I use weathering powders and they just end up on the raised areas like drybrushing.

ThisisJimmy Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Absolutely amazing diorama you've got going there mate. All the action you've included is perfect, lots of little extras for the eye to focus on and enjoy. And great work on that weathering, you should definitely be happy with what you've achieved.

NightHunters Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Cheers guys! Razblood: You are quite right, brush bristles will make an appearance toward completion! Biohazard: Not a problem mate, pretty simple if a little time consuming but it's a simple case of drilling out the original standard arm and filing down the marine standard bearer arm to fit. The keys is lots of dry fitting. Lots! Subtle Discord: You are too kind mate! Look forward to seeing what you will come up with, should be epic! Kierdale: Yes and No brother, it's the hands from the storm kit and catachan arms. Regards the weathering powders the key I've found is not to brush over the areas, but RAM it into the crevasses en mass! Don't hold back, you can always brush off any excess. Let me know how it turns out! Togusa-san: Thanks brother! Just what I was aiming for! ThisisJimmy: And thanks to you brother, not quite as happy as I will be when I finish but content for the mo ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/12/#findComment-3174112 Share on other sites More sharing options...
