d3m01iti0n Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Hey guys, just wanted to start a "blog" of sorts for my ongoing complusion towards buying WAY too many models and slowly painting them. What you are going to get a lot of works in progress, and occasionally some finished products. On with the models! Feel free to comment! My new Grimaldus model....almost done. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/12/27/445990_md-.jpg Servitors http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/12/27/445991_md-.jpg Terminator Marshall http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/12/27/445992_md-.jpg New set of Initiates using some new tactics (just starting washes and drybrush) http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/12/27/445993_md-.jpg Terminators (crap pic) http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/12/27/445994_md-.jpg As we speak I have a lowly Initiate soaking in Simple Green. I recently read a great tutorial for a new black armor painting technique. I REALLY hate painting grey highlights on black armor. I typically base in Chaos Black, do details, do another coat of black, and highlight. I suck at it and I hate the results. Im now going for primer, gray base, heavy coats of Nuln Oil, and varying shades of gray drybrush for armor. Ill let you know how it goes........and if I love it Im stripping my entire army =( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/268615-the-pabst-blue-purity-seal-brewsade/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Avenger Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Any chance you could link the tutorial for the armour please? Although I'm pleased with my highlighting I'd like to be able to add a little more depth. Nice work on your models so far. I'm looking forward to seeing more...

Who do you think I got that idea from? :P I think it puts emphasis on the Chaplain skull aspect. When he is cleaned up Im getting a good close up for my avatar. Check him out then!

d3m01iti0n Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 Sorry guys, been lazy in posting new stuff. But here it is, because you asked for it..... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2013/2/15/463990_md-.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2013/2/15/463991_md-.jpg This is as far as Ive gotten without the Chapterhouse kit. It should hopefully be here anyday now. Im also housesitting for my folks so I have the bare minimum of supplies so no paint, just primer, blades, and a file. Ill keep you guys updated. And just for fun.....my last game..... http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2013/2/8/461778_md-.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/268615-the-pabst-blue-purity-seal-brewsade/#findComment-3305777 Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3m01iti0n Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 Old pic of my Talon. Looks much better now, also has Typhoons. Raven will get the same paint scheme. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/9/8/409911_md-Black%20Templars.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/9/8/409912_md-Black%20Templars%2C%20Chibihawk%20Jr%2C%20Storm%20Talon.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/268615-the-pabst-blue-purity-seal-brewsade/#findComment-3305791 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giarc Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Looking pretty awesome! Keep it up! I am really interested in the Raven with the Chapter house kit! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/268615-the-pabst-blue-purity-seal-brewsade/#findComment-3305802 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krikey Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 d3m0, I too suffer from this compulsion to buy more models than I can paint. I hide them in my closet and then forget I have them. When I feel I need to go buy more, I can sometimes (not always) go to the closet and open boxes. When it works, it's like Christmas! When it doesn't work, I sigh and go to the game store anyway. Keep up the good work. Also, you may have convinced me that the flying brick called a stormraven will actually look pretty decent in black. I'd really like to see the finished product! ~K Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/268615-the-pabst-blue-purity-seal-brewsade/#findComment-3306854 Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3m01iti0n Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Trust me, it looks pretty damn good with the Chapterhouse kit. Very worth it.

tvih Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 From pics I've seen of the Chapter House-upgrade Stormraven, it looks OK otherwise except the thin "tail" REALLY seems out of place when with the upgrade the rest of the body is so fat.

d3m01iti0n Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Its coming along slowly. Weapons are mounted, still waiting on the CH kit. Long day, much more work tomorrow. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2013/2/21/465959_md-.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/268615-the-pabst-blue-purity-seal-brewsade/#findComment-3310314 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeruvar Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Wow i like how you shifted the turret weapons to the sides. Makes it look more like a gunship its supposed to be.

d3m01iti0n Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Yknow I was going to mount the under the wings but I figured I might have LoS problems. So theyre in the same general area as the originals.

Giarc Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 That almost gives you better LoS, rather then the turret on the top side. I have heard of people haveing issues with the weapons. Not being able to fire, cause you cant shoot down at enough of a angle to kill things with the top turret, otherwise the barrels would be shooting the hull of the raven. I like where you placed them as well! Nice work. No chapter house kit yet?!? :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/268615-the-pabst-blue-purity-seal-brewsade/#findComment-3310674 Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3m01iti0n Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Chapterhouse is IN!!! Threw another coat of primer on the back end after I snapped these pics, lots of paint tomorrow, and big game Saturday! http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2013/2/22/466270_md-.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2013/2/22/466271_md-.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2013/2/22/466272_md-.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2013/2/22/466274_md-.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/268615-the-pabst-blue-purity-seal-brewsade/#findComment-3311358 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypher-xv Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Very nice. I like the ac on the sides. With the chapter house upgrades I'm thinking of taking off the tail. Maybe give it a more stormeagle look. Anyways looking forward to more pics. I may borrow/steal the paint scheme of the talon. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/268615-the-pabst-blue-purity-seal-brewsade/#findComment-3311363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvih Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Indeed. How easy would it be to mod the rear end so that you wouldn't have to use the long "tail"? Because as I mentioned earlier, while the hull itself looks much better with the CH kit, the thin tail just looks plain silly when the hull is fat.

d3m01iti0n Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Just a fuselage-shaped prong on the back end you could shave off. I considered leaving it off at first but didnt like it. Maybe cut the horizontal wingset of the tail in half and mount each over a thruster.....

d3m01iti0n Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 Coming along. Been a busy couple of weeks; wish I could get more done.

Giarc Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Looking pretty good Demo! Do you have a side shot/bottoms side pic? I would like to see the how much the chapter house kit changes the over model. Also, on your storm Talon. How did you do the side weapons? Magnets to switch them out? I have one right now I am building, and not sure how to get everything set up. 3 different combos, with the 2 different ML, and the HB/LC combo.

d3m01iti0n Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 Ill snap some more pics for you. As for the Talon, I just snapped the LasCans off and installed the Typhoons. Now I want to go with the Skyhammers; luckily you only swap the front end out so Ill be breaking it again......

Giarc Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Tonight i will take some pictutres of what i think i am doing. Lol. Right now i have the pod witht he ammo packs ont he side. Then i am going to try to magnitize the front portion so i can do both missile sets, and then something for the HB/Laz weapons. Then i am going to have to figure out how to get both weapons to stay too (meaning the HB/Laz).

d3m01iti0n Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 You could always buy the whole housing off EBay or whoever and magnetize that to the hull. Me, I just break and file :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/268615-the-pabst-blue-purity-seal-brewsade/#findComment-3316351 Share on other sites More sharing options...
