Biohazard Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 The metal colour you have here is gorgeous. i love the look of the captain and company champion. Great looking army so far and your planned additions are looking good as well. Will be keeping a close eye on this thread.

Kizzdougs Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I'm loving these minis! Great paint job and the skull helmets for the characters are excellent. If i was to make one suggestion it would be to add a bit of mithril for a highlight. Really great work. Looking forward to seeing the Librarian painted!

daismith906 Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 Cheers for the kind words. The helmets/skulls are actually painted in mithril silver, camera has faded it out slightly. Managed to put together the two attack bikes this afternoon so hoping to get everything primed tomorrow!

Kierdale Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Great painting and inspiring use of parts! You have quite an imagination. As others have said, the use of chaplain and LOTD models is really good. I particularly like the captain, company champion and TDA librarian. Subscribing to this one!

Lorenzen Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 test it on something you dont need first but if you gloss the absolute living piss out of the canopy windows you could in theory get a privacy glass kinda vibe going with it.

The_Chaplain Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Which panel exactly got smudged on the canopy? You can always paint strip some of the panels so the pilot is visible, and then paint up some vibrant targetting arrays and HUD images (think the helmet hud from Iron Man movies) and really go to town and make the most of the situation.

Pyroriffic Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I love the Storm Talon. Looks beautiful. Nice weathering effects. We had a similar 'oops' moment with the Thunderchick for my Skully army: the canopy ended up being accidentally varnished...
