MRCHAOS Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 lol yeah looking through all the posts, its a different army each page. But what ever Army you do your painting skills rock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomselect Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 Cheers guys! actually the move to minotaurs isnt through boredom, its through wanting to be able to play some games fast, and painting my carcharodons takes ages, so i thought i would speed paint the rest of the army, then go back to the sharks when ive got a playable army.

Randomselect Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Ok so the squads finished (apart from decals which i shall purchase when i have more mini's painted) step 11: i gave the minis a super watered down coat of hawk turquise for a little verdigris. (doesnt seem to show in pics very well, although its subtley there IRL) time taken 5 mins, time so far, 2hrs 10 mins http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/verdigris.jpg step 12: Rim and flock the bases! time taken 10 mins, total time 2hrs 20 mins. http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/verdigrisandflock.jpg so the whole squads done.. http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/finishedsquad.jpg heres little close up. http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/finishedminusdecals.jpg For less than 30 minutes per mini, i'm happy with these!

Randomselect Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 Ok so i recieved 2 highly dodgy land raiders off ebay. Sadly i forgot to take a picture of the "kiss it" mural on the ultramarine one. Gutted! http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/dodgyraiders.jpg Primed and painted like the other termies along with another squad and the belial proxy. http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/dryingtime.jpg the verdigris still drying in this pic. Ive some weathering powders ive never tried using so am going to hav a bash at the raiders with them lol http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/dryingtermies.jpg Termies should be finished soon.

Randomselect Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Ok so i finished the termies and raiders, all i need now is the decals on and im good to go. Belial stand in (super old termi model, pretty shady sculpt...) http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/belialripoff.jpg Terminator squad. http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/termiespeedersdone.jpg And the two raiders. http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/raidersdone.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomselect Posted September 25, 2011 Author Share Posted September 25, 2011 Behold a new imperial fist! this was an experiment into "glowing eyes"tm and a little freehand. I'm pretty happy with it for a first attempt. tyheres always room for improvement! http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/imperialfisttactical2.jpg http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/imperialfisttactical1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Better pics of the 'Fist is a must. And the front of that scratch-built Crusader looks really good actually, nice work. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
culix Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Wow, this thread is incredible! Thank you very much for posting such inspirational materials :) Your light box tip alone is worth a thread or Librarium article by itself. I have tried to copy your method and build a quck lightbox; I'll take some pics and see how they turn out. Your speed painting on the minotaurs is *astounding*! Excellent work! I really wish I could get that fast - I'm spending dozens of hours to get a six man squad done :P If I may ask, you say: >1: build and base the termies, estimated time 1 hour Does that include removing mold lines from all the terminator parts? I find that removing mold lines takes me a while, maybe three hours per model :P Maybe I need more practise. Thanks very much for posting, this is great stuff!

Randomselect Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 Right i have been working on some more Minotaurs termies, (not speed painted this time!) converting up the round shields was a bitch, i have also decided i dont like resin bases. superglue and pinning annoys me no end. couple of WIP shots for you. http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/Minotaurterminatorswip2.jpg http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/minotaurterminatorsWIP1.jpg Please ignore the white marble test. its horrible and the hammers will now be painted black!

ephrael Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 The army is looking really good so far. I especially like the patina on the metals. I have a question for you. I have been looking for the model you are using as your Belial stand in for quite some time. I would be very interested in acquiring him from you if you are interested. PM me if you are interested, I guarantee I'll make it worth your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right today has been thus eventfull! I purchased some interesting mediums from hobbycraft. here they are http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/purchases.jpg Ive since decanted them into little dropper bottles mixed with water, trouble is i use such small amounts of paint even 1 drop is 50% of a mix then! need to mix both my matte medium mix and my flow improver mix together i feel so i can use 1 drop of mixed. also done a little more on the termie squad (this is guy number 2) I'm especially happy with how the recessed sigma symbol has come out (its one of my first freehand attempts) http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/termiewipwip.jpg Oh and i really need a drop pod to be able to field a 1750pt army with what i have so im gonna speed paint one in a couple of days! just like this one! http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z378/RandomSelect/droppod.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
