WIP thread - 711th CCAB (Chocochip Rats)

[elmo]

Thanks - no. They are on the old 60mm bases. The 50mm are too small for me...

Unbroken - Cadia Stands!

Eyes went a little funny but happy with the rest.

Oh wow!!! The CCAB going strong!! Nice take on this dude and I’ve been fascinated by your camo for years.

it’s really well done and bends my painting brain imagining the complexity of camo at scale with cloth folds and the like.

Back in The Barracks for Call to Arms 2024.

 

I will be clearing out some of the pile of shame and working on Guardsmen and HW teams.

 

This is what I have found so far but I have 3 old Sentinels too which I might get around to as well.

All primed now and 3D printing bases for the HWTs

[elmo]

Been working on the first of 20 snap fit IG and after trimming the excess plastic (chest piece and rifle butt/arm) they were primed in matt black.

Then the fun began.....

3 coats of watered down Vallejo Light sand

Wash with Agrax Earthshade

Drybrush with Vallejo Light sand

Blotches with Vallejo Parasite Brown

Spots of Matt Black

Spots on the black of Matt White

Castellan Green (Drybrush Vallejo Camo Green)

Leadbelcher (Black Wash)

Bronzed Flesh (Wash with Agrax Earthshade then highlight Bronzed Flesh)

Warlock Bronze (Black Wash)

Zandri Dust (Wash with Agrax Earthshade)

Matt Black (Drybrush Shadow Grey)

I think that was it

Next up the remaining Snap fit bodies then on to their arms/lasguns.

Busy busy...

[elmo]

The 20 snap fit are now complete less unit markings which I will add once the full pledge is complete and I can work out who goes where

 

Next up is to start on the kneeling and sitting Guardsmen for the HWTs.

Hopefully the 9 will be done by the end of next week then I will do the arms and start on the standing Guardsmen for the HWTs.

A labor of love!  They are really well done!

[Bonehead]

Man, I'd go nuts trying to paint that many of the same model. Don't know how you do it, and to a really good standard too.
