Master Avoghai Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Like the other slacker of this board (aka Arkley) I've never thought I would live old enough to see such pics... :D Just a question : do you plan to darken the metal or are the 2 reactors finished? (they look a little "high elf armour like to me :unsure: ) Interrogator Stobz and Brother Captain Arkley 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've not seen the elusive Thunderhawk Painting Stobz in quite some time, they only appearing from the bush every few years or so! Don't scare it away! Why does this remind me of the commentary on a David Attenborough nature program?? As the predator approached, bobz stopped what he was doing and with whiskers twitching, bounded into the undergrowth... ;) Interrogator Stobz, shabbadoo, Brother Captain Arkley and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interrogator Stobz Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Only three nights painting this week, but in the interest of keeping my hassling club unemployed: This bit is now done: And this bit is now done: And this bit is now done: And these bits are done: And this bit is done: Soooo; that pretty much means the whole body is done and all I have to do is the little bits that open and close like the undercarriage and hinges for bits etc. then I can begin working on a stand/base.

Interrogator Stobz Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) Thanks guys, Master A: after undercoating I painted it Leadbelcher, nuln oil twice, tidied up with Lead belcher again, washed the recesses with 50% water/Asurman blue, tidied up again, washed with agrax wash and a final very light tidy up. Simple but effective I'd like to think. Cheers again dudes, I'm on a roll with this thing.... might even glue it together soon Edited April 12, 2015 by Brother Stobz Master Sindiferous, Master Gabriel Macleod and elmo 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shabbadoo Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 And to think, after this he will only need to paint one in Ravenwing colors, and a final one in Deathwing colors! Easy! elmo and Interrogator Stobz 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) Ah, the cheekiness never ends (I'm loving how Brother Mard's black 30k Epic Fire Raptors look, 40k Ravenwing anyone? I'm keen, just need to check with the bank ) I realised last night as I was painting hydraulic landing gear stuff; this flying critter doesn't have a proper 40k name, I'm not using my pet name 'Ferdinand the flying Bull' and can't think of a better one.

Interrogator Stobz Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) In the words of +Isiah+..."EXCELLENT". I'm also kind of hoping for a person type name that fits on one normal sized vehicle scroll (as seen in the nose cone/first pic on this page). For the captain of this mighty vessel. Maybe- Arklos, Blairiel or Slacker'z etc. I will definitely be chucking a bit of freehand writing on him somewhere, that might very well include your suggestions Bryan mate Edited April 16, 2015 by Brother Stobz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaplain Lucifer Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Stobz, the Thunderhawk bitz are looking ace but I think you will have to break all that green and metal when assembled with a tertiary colour (like bone white), to make the aforemetion green and metal pop. a diagonal stripe(s) along the side of the hull might do the trick. Just my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Nice idea, saw one like that in a Vraks book. I will ponder it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shabbadoo Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 The name should be something Greenwing-esque/Chapter-esque. The name shouldn't be one better suited to the Ravenwing or Deathwing. As to the markings, you've gone through the trouble of painting up the 3rd Company- make it a 3rd Company Thunderhawk! So, keep it mostly green, and paint it with the red bend sinister (i.e. the red stripe). If you do such a bend on the fuselage, the placement should look normal when you put it on the LEFT side of the fuselage, and it should be MIRRORED on the RIGHT side of the fuselage (meaning the position of the tan bend on the right side fuselage of the Thunderhawk in Siege of Vraks would be WRONG for the red bend sinister of the 3rd Company). The stripe position should be like so: http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e245/btmcrae/DA_TH_%20redstripe.jpg Cactus, Stoic Raptor, Interrogator Stobz and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Brilliant! Thanks Shabz :tu: Love the idea of red, the bone just didn't seem right. I might go for something a little smaller than your pics but who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
