Ch@oZ Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 The runepriest conversion looks really great. The commander (or guy with banner anyway) looks pretty amazing too. Nice seamless conversions all around:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarabando Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 the green is quite simple black undercoat > gretchin gree > black and brown washes > scorpion green > 50/50 scorp/white highlights and then ore shading where needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 ok its offical i hate the jump pack guys they are so back heavy its not even funny any more. Have you tried weighting the bases? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarabando Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 i would if they weren't on slotta bases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 maybe you could cut a weight in half and glue it in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 i would if they weren't on slotta bases Weight it with spare bits of metal sprue - if you can get a hold of some. Either that or cut a penny in half and trim it til it fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuNCHBiZZLe Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Go to your local hardware store and get steel 25mm/1 inch washers and glue them to the base, makes them more stable and adds some height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Brother 92 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 what I've done with back and front heavy models - as lunchbizzle said, glue a coupla steel washers on the bottom and if that doesn't stop it then I've use a pva/gravel mix underneath. lovely models especially that libby - beautiful snake head staff on his back.

sarabando Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 ok tried using GWs old brown ink instead of multiple coats of the new washes .....fml the scorpion green now takes even longer to get a smooth coat XD step by step incoming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Beware that Ink leaves a glossier finish than Washes do. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarabando Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 captain is striped reundercoated and ive got the first coat of scorp on him. still cant find cheap rhinos on ebay XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbabyjesus Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Anything with a rhino chassis is always expensive on ebay, unless it has been put together by a chimp with a superglue spraying fetish. I find it's often easier to pick stuff like that up from Wayland Games, they're pretty cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarabando Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 yeah they were my next option and just for those of us that hate sleep the wip of my remodeled captain and my chaplain who now has free handy text on his bib. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h269/ubinox/000_0164.jpg and a veteran http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h269/ubinox/000_0151-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
