NightHunters Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Paladin7221: Ha, quite right fella but that is part of the problem, he just looks to be standing there, totally unaffected by the recoil whilst pulling g's. Sure he's a space marine but just want a little, well, more presence from him if you know what i mean. Goose, deathspectrsgt, Kierdale: Cheers guys, much appreciated! Moving onto current projects: I have dug this old lady out as this months theme is Transports.... Reworked the commandant some but the question to the floor is do I add a diagonal yellow or white stripe up the sides infront of the flame storms? Also I love my fiance very much: Good times ahead!

NightHunters Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 It's always a joy! Finished the block colours tonight so on to much washing and then some extreme weathering, going to trialling the old mat coat/hairspray/colour/hot water technique. Fun times! Cheers all!

NightHunters Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Sooo, tried to work out how to do the old hairspray weathering. which starts off like this: Which then leads to this. Actually didn't work as it is supposed to but relatively happy with the result all the same although one side turned out better than the other. Exciting times.

War Angel Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I just realised, I don't think I've seen anything about you having entered the ETL yet.... You're night hunters and my eagles are natural allies, and it would be an honor to stand at your shoulder during this challenge.

batu Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Landraider looks great so far Some people say that the hairspray technic is not that relaible. Ak interactive (and vallejo I think), make some products exactly for this type of weathering.

NightHunters Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) Razblood: Ha, Cheers buddy and some nice work on your DA's! War Angel: The Night Hunters would be proud to stand houlder to shoulder with your noble warriors!! 2 things. 1. Can I just make a vow on this thread? 2. I currently have about ZERO free time so the vow may have to be very, very small. batu: Cheers brother! and thanks for the heads up, will defo be looking into that as whilst the effect works it wasn't all that easy to achieve!! To finish off, quick couple of pics of last nights efforts, Flame storms UP! Also some more work on the weathering, was far more pronounced but a coat of Matt varnish seems to have robbed a lot of the vibrancy from the model, oh well, you live and you learn! Cheers all!

War Angel Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 You just need to post what you're vowing here http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275442-e-tenebrae-lux-ii-liber-astartes-strategium/ And my vow is only two drop pods....

sockwithaticket Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I genuinely have no idea how you manage to keep doing that hexagonal pattern, man, it would have sent me to an asylum long ago.

NightHunters Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) sockwithaticket: Ha cheers brother, was up until the merry wee hours of Friday morning trying to get her finished for a competition in my local store in Saturday but to no avail! Still entered but will be picking her up tomorrow to finish her off! In the meantime Sir Clausel's absolutely epic Black Templars as seen here: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269349-clausels-black-templars-65-initiates-done/page-3 Have inspired me to try my hand at some "Thunderbirds" for my Night Hunters as well, running off the wolf list as we do! So I have invested in a unit of Demigryph knights in preperation but I thought I should start off with my counts as wold lord on thunderwolf first..... Still very early work in progress, still waiting on a left front leg and neck, the helmet on the rider needs bulking out but think I will stick with it, additional armour plates more akin to its smaller demigryph kin, maybe some chainmail? who knows! Cheers all!

NightHunters Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 Cheers batu, some more progress on this: Basically been working on the rear armour to bring the big lad into line with his smaller brethren and the knights helmet. Next, pick a shield for the knight, sort out the morning star angle, green stuff and sand the armour so it is nice and smooth.....yay.......but at least it is still a separate piece!

Hyaenidae Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Make three, count them as Siege Dreads, put them on the table and watch your opponent visibly quake in fear. Awesome idea, man.

NightHunters Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Really sorry for the lack of action recently, it's all been a little manic in the real world! Deathspectersgt7: Yeah he is a whopper. 1000Heathens: Good plan! The idea really is down to Brother Clausel, thanks again for the inspiration! Rafen2: Thanks Brother! As one can imagine, very little action this end, filed the rear armour, mocked up rein/shield arm. More as time and life permits Cheers all!

Kierdale Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Looking brutal...and -though I don't like using this word when talking about 40k- far more 'realistic' than the base Storm Raven.

NightHunters Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Ah ha, some deletage has gone on here, oh well! Evening all, quick Habicht update and sneak peak of the next project in its earliest stages, PzH 40000....... Still not quite ready for paint but certainly looking mean in Black! Happier with the door gunner now: Love this view: This one, well just because i saw it on the shelf and it looked pretty awesome. And the beginning of the PzH 40000 Hopefully more soon.........ish Cheers all FTE zxyogi and Kierdale 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220620-night-hunters-wip-pic-heavy/page/21/#findComment-3417722 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightHunters Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Paladin7221: Just so brother! The turret is proving a mite tricky as trying to make it work on an unmodernised rino chassis, but hey, we'll see what we can do! batu: Cheers brother! Much appreciated, turns out the original mounts for the HB need quite a bit of amending to work but got there in the end.
