Jolemai Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 That army shot looks amazing. You've accomplished so much! Inspiring as always, Reclusiarch. Cheers! Just don't look too close and spot the repairs Great work for last year, in particular getting those Space Hulk Termies done! Gorgeous models and it'll be nice for you to get them on a table! That's the main reason I painted them as I went through a spell using them quite a bit Its just a different sort of camouflage, painting to protect from your allies, not your enemies... Oi! I paint BA not FT or FE!

Indefragable Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Air Defence Command Platform Had a window to do something small and this was knocking around: Whilst there have been no rules for this since seventh edition (where it gave Hyperios Launchers split fire), it doubles up quite nicely as a Damocles Command Tank proxy. Very delayed response, but where did you get the radar array bit from again?

Jolemai Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 Dreadz. Yep. Just not happy with how they currently are. So whilst it doesn't look like much, it's lots of fiddly bits and/or detail.

Majkhel Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 That's a really nice pledge there!

Jolemai Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 That's a really nice pledge there! And I agree - it will actually be more time-consuming then it might seem at first glance. but I'm sure the result will be worth it! I reckon so, yeah. For example, tonight I've been drilling out barrels (including two assault cannons!) and I've got the hips magnetised on my Dreadnought - an idea I picked up from my Imperial Knight. All of that will improve it. Will add some texture to the base next as I've always felt those moulded plastic ones were too flat for the paint. Stuff like that. Paint wise, it's only a spot of detail but the red is streaky and it's always bothered me. So that's the main job there. ... and so on.

Jolemai Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 Dreadnought March Update 1/3 Dreadnought (and options) complete: So, why did I give this model a facelift when I tend not to do that to older models? The first reason was that I was never happy with it; the base was streaky and despite being mostly complete, the red armour only had one coat and was also streaky. The second was that the Rifleman arms were painted to a different standard and everything needed to be consistent. The third was that it was still using blu-tack and had no bling. It now has magnstised hips (similar to my Imperial Knight and Contemptor arms) which allows full motion around the ball joint and magnetised underslung secondary weapons (the arms are fine with the pegs). The detail was completed and the base was moved up to my current level (which is, imo, a big improvement). The one thing I liked about the older paintjob was the drybrushed edge highlights, so I put these back on the model afterwards. I may stick to the drybrush on vehicles and just paint them onto troops, haven't decided yet.

Majkhel Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 It's a definite improvement on the base IMO, and he definitely looks much more consistent, so good job! I also agree (and hear a lot of similar conclusion around) that drybrushing on vehicles generally works really well as a way to highlight the edges.

Jolemai Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 Dreadnought WIP ... yeah, I am much happier now It's a definite improvement on the base IMO, and he definitely looks much more consistent, so good job! I also agree (and hear a lot of similar conclusion around) that drybrushing on vehicles generally works really well as a way to highlight the edges. I usually paint the edge highlights but if I haven't got my eye in then they are sloppy. Drybrush gives a very muted look, so we'll see how it evolves.

Jolemai Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 Scouts and Tactical Marine March Update 2/3 Scouts and Tactical Marine complete: The plan for these was to finish off the bases. I also added a tiny bit of bling to the Tactical Marine and went about touching up the Scouts - I didn't want to change much at all as I like seeing the progression in my collection as I paint, hence why they look a little behind where I currently am. I did, however, do the eyes, krak grenades, and the metallics on the bolter Scout which oddly hadn't been done.

Jolemai Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 Company Ancient WIP Finally got hold of this OOP banner and decided to make a jump Company Ancient.

Majkhel Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 That's a lovely find!! Is that a 32mm base? I'd definitely start with that for increased stability.
