Veteran Sergeant Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 It's about eight million times better than the original model, lol. Very inspired interpretation. Nice work.

Biohazard Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Ah got ye! ;) I thought you were meaning the flat panels. The LR bots are looking good mate. Brilliant looking model.

Anaraion Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Night Hunter, You do realize it is people like you who keep people like me from posting my army right... ? Your stuff is amazing!! I am really blown away by the detail and care. It is inspirational. I am commited to a foot slogging/Drop Pod Wolf force, so luckily I do not have to even attempt to emulate you. But as a old US Cavalry officer your stuff look exactly like what I use to see in the field. It really catches the little details and every day stuff that go on. The hand shake, the tech marines working together, this is really what happens between soldiers/marines regardless of the equipment they are standing around. Now maybe I missed it but have you painted that converted standard? It looked awesome built and would like to see it finished. Regardless keep it up and thank you for sharing.

NightHunters Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 reckoning34: Cheers Brother! Veteran Sergeant: Many thanks mate, pleased with the model but brother Rottimus came up with the design so all credit to him! Biohazard: Too kind, looking forward to some further work on your chaos flyer as well! Anaraion: I am honoured Brother!!! On the non posting thing, just do it, I found that nothing makes you raise your game like knowing that people will give their honest opinion in a consequence freeish environment :ph34r: So let's see some of those Wolves!! Glad to hear that the "In the Field" look is coming through on the diorama, makes me feel better about not rushing it for GD this year! On the banner, not painted yet, sadly that may be some time coming as still working on some more marines first..... Thus onto the sharing: Finally got the second autocannon installed in the righthand wing root and have worked in most of the "sunk rivots" on the fuselage. Teeny bit of greenstuff and on to painting! Cheers all! FTE Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/14/#findComment-3215412 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) Looking good Brother. Are you going to be painting this in the same scheme as your marines? Im always reminded of Blockbusters when I see the pattern lol Edited October 21, 2012 by Biohazard Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/14/#findComment-3215422 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 Ha, yeah blockbusters green-grey goodness for the hog, with some yellow accents akin to those seen on German WW2 aircraft around the nose, intakes and wing ends, but we shall see!

Biohazard Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Ahh I know what you're meaning, kinda like the yellow seen on the old ME-109?

NightHunters Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Aha, the rare Romanian 109! Very nicely done and pretty much exactly where I am going with the yellow!

NightHunters Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Throne I hope so brother, the build, finally completed, has taken it's merry time so can't wait for a dry day to swing the base coat on and then get cracking!

JamesG89 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 At first I really didn't like the colour scheme (even though it is very well done and I applaud you for having the patience to do it on all the models) but as I read through the thread it grew on me more and more till I ended up thinking it looked awesome. To me the army has a real military feel to it, kind of a blend between the IG and the marines which is pretty cool. Loving the conversions as well espicially the A-10. It really does look like a 40k version of it. The display board modesl are awesome as well and really feel fluid with their interactions and I can't wait to see it painted up.

NightHunters Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 JamesG89: Cheers brother, glad it grew on you! Also delighted that you get the military feel from the army, this really is exactly what I am going for!! Yeah the A-10, thank brother Rottimus for the design but it sure looks good! Regards the display board it is looking at me from my desk, unfinished, but we keep plugging away at it! And now back to the current distraction, first paint on the old Hog! Quick bottom shot: Quick top shot: Really liking how the paint looks, still undecided on whether or not to paint the front of the Storm raven intake yellow, oh decisions decisions!

Biohazard Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) Mate that looks FANTASTIC! I love the yellow accents. Great work. ps I would paint the intake yellow as well.

Sh0sen Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Looks excellent so far! Nice to see some influence on flyiers from the axis side of WWII, rather than the allied stuff everyone else seems to do.

Hyaenidae Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 That sucker needs warhawk teeth painted across her nose. 'Nuff said. Beautiful work, Hunter.

NightHunters Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Biohazard: Thanks mate! Think you may be right in the intake as well, concerned there will then be a line of yellow there but will give it a go and see! Dearth Potato: Far too kind brother! And agreed, the original looks a little, well, pants! Shusen: cheers mate and I know right, actually some interesting scheme in use by the axis forces as well! 1000Heathens: I know mate! But due to the bulges and intakes the teeth woukd be a nightmare! But thanks very much mate much appreciated! Will Hopefully get the rest of the colours blocked in this evening, until then, Cheers all FTE Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/14/#findComment-3223094 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kierdale Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Seriously good work. I love that you incorporated the hexes into a camo pattern. Love the crisp yellow too. I think it would look like on the intake. Go for it! As for the teeth...it's not something I would dare to do. But I'd love to see someone else try it... :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/14/#findComment-3223175 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Ha cheers guys! Had another look at the teeth situation and there, sadly is no way they are getting on this nose ^_^ Also ran up the intake in yellow, not convinced to be honest, but will sleep on it, all thoughts appreciated!

rednekkboss Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) Great looking stuff.... as always. Not so sure about the teeth, but I think that dorsal intake looks good in yellow. Makes me want to cob one together for my Raptors.

Biohazard Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I think the yellow intake actually makes the rear of the aircraft look wider. It looks good mate, I see what you were meaning about the line of yellow right across but like I say to me it looks good. ;) another option to break up the yellow is maybe some hazard stripes or chevrons in that area?

Sh0sen Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Looks good. If its too much yellow how about painting a black imperial eagle on there to tone it down?
