NightHunters Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) Cheers guys, Great advice all round! The yellow vent is indeed growing on me not least because I believe Biohazard is right, it does make the back look wider and please go right ahead redneckboss, the more of these the merrier! Have also noted the black imperial eagle Schusen, will be trialling that further through the process but I really like it! Not much more to show, just layering up all the colours, will post a pick before it flys through the weathering brush/sponge/wash/powders!

Brother Lionheart Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Wow... I just finished flicking through this thread and I am loving what I see! Really excellent conversion, modelling, paint jobs... well, just everything, really! I do have a question, though; Do you play with this army currently? And if so, how do you stop your opponents from being blasted apart by the sheer glory like that bit in Sunshine? :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/15/#findComment-3226246 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lionheart: Many thanks chap, sadly I don't play at the mo, but always try to build armies around legal 1500 point blocks on case I ever get the urge! War Angel: No worries buddy, the base is an interesting one, in all the excitement I for got about how to base it.......... Zxyogi: Thanks mate! Quick update, all block colours now done, next will be detailing and weathering. woop. First attempt at the exhaust discolouring following zxyogis method, pretty good! Cheers mate!

fivepointedstar Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 excellent work NightHunter. I love the camo blend you did on the top of the the hog. And the yellow definently contrasts the darker color just right. keep it up.

Rafen_2 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Very well done indeed. I think the yellow is a wee bit too bright but after weathering it should be spot on methinks. Anyway can't wait to see more cool stuff from you ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/15/#findComment-3229729 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 DeathKnight2000: Thanks mate! Rafen2: And thanks to you also, know what you mean re the yellow, it is slightly darker IRL so should look good ok after some weathering. And on that note on to primary weathering action! Nose Tail (still need to blend /overpaint the transfer) Wing Lots, lots more to do.

NightHunters Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 Cheers Razblood, been working on that but you may be waiting some time! Rottimus: All hail the creator! Cheers brother, certainly don't know about better/nicer and wouldn't exist without yours for inspiration! Looking forward to seeing the original storm hog in all its glory! Now on to more weathering..... The underside is basically finished bar some minor touching up: and also the sooting of the tail section, looks good IRL but just can't capture it on film :cuss Cheers all!

rednekkboss Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 SAH-WEEEEeeeet! Great looking stuff (as always) I love the light grey belly. Definitely got a Russian Front/leningrad sector/JG52 feel to it. BTW, new battle report up in a few hours at my blog..... keep the tea away from the monitor.

Sh0sen Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Superb! Your camo/chapter scheme works perfectly with the other themes you've mixed in. Highly inspirational. Now Space Wolves just need a flier so I can make up something like this!

NightHunters Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 Cheers guys! Sorry for the belated reply, real life etc etc blablabla. Redneckboss: Yeah quite right mate, looking at a cross between JG 52 and H U Rudels Kannonenvogel!. May have to make another couple so I paint one up in colours of old Hartman :) Will be sure to have a read on the exploits of the donut lovers ASAP! Schusen: Thanks frater, I feel your pain, use the wolves list myself so have had to make use of the "Allies" allowance :huh: which to be honest does vex me a little! Hopefully more tomorrow!

Tyrannicide Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I agree with Anaraion. It must be done. You know it has to. But seriously, it looks so friggin cool as is. One of my all-time favorites, for sure. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/15/#findComment-3240953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 :) Alright brothers, alright, I give in! I promise that I will give it a go on the next one :) Seriously tho, you guys are far too kind and rest assured there will be another, hopefully 2! But first to finish Zero-3 who has been KICKING MY ASS the little rascal! Doesn't look bad from this angle: But a little closer and : So, turns out the old inks separate and go opaque. Faeces. Also the right hand turbine has been totally redone due to a special moment. Also my gold painting skills seem to have vanished. Totally. In short, Zero-3 is lucky not to have met with a nasty bit of flak. But we persevere! Cheers all!

Biohazard Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I quite like the effect, it looks to me like he has some topography or something up on his screen as he is coming in on his attack run.

Kierdale Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Don't knock yourself, man. You've done a fantastic job. A bit late to mention perhaps but I remember hearing that some people glue cockpits in place with PVA/wood glue to prevent misting/make it easier to touch up the interior... Did you superglue/plastic glue it in? If not you might be able to get it off and have a go at cleaning it up..? If you're a perfectionist :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/15/#findComment-3243252 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancer Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Went through this whole thread and have to say everything is seriously awesome, that camo scheme must take some serious patience. Also something I learned from building cars and planes, to keep canopies crystal clear, try dipping it in future floor polish then set it on toothpicks to dry/settle for about 24 hours. It helps avoid the fogging from super glue and if you get odd thick spots in the future you can just dip it in windex and start over.

Anaraion Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) Okay I saw this and laughed... http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn229/noodletoff/Bikes/WH40K/JetbikesLandspeedersSquad006.jpg It is from this thread... http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...15450&st=50 There are some AWESOME weathered vehicles there btw. As for you and this beast, you do whatever you want. It is your army obviously and it should be exactly what you want... pay no attention to us unskilled monkeys in the peanut gallery ;) .

NightHunters Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) Biohazard: Cheers mate, may have to run that excuse if I can't get it cleared :) :lol: Kierdale: don't you worry my friend, canopy is only blue tacked on! Still need to detail the interior and the pilot. Save for the failed HUD experiment the rest of it is still crystal! Lancer: Many thanks brother! Also for the furniture polish tip, do ya reckon if I dab a tiny bit o scorpion green into it I can get a translucent look? Again, thanks for looking :tu: Anaraion: Ha! Thanks mate, big fan of Zxyogi's work too! In fact if you look 4 posts under that picture you will find my post :lol: none the less you are quite right, great weathering on his stuff and he actually gave me the tips on the burnished exhaust tips. Will try and get the cockpit done this week! Cheers all!
