Xenith Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Bjorn, it's actually just an old metal predator destructor turret, from before the plastic combi kit was released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code 187 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Just read this end to end. Amazing evolution over the years Xenith. Some really great ideas that give me food for thought with blinging up my very old collection of models. Love the little nods to 2nd ed though.

Takes me back Hey, Code, thank you very much - I'm glad you can take some ideas from what I've done, and flattered you took the time to read the whole thing!

Xenith Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) As an aside, I showed my GF my Thunder Hammer Biker Captain, and she exclaimed "Oh, like 'Little Rabbit Foo Foo'?". I was very confused, then she showed me the following image, from a kids book when she was younger. Warning: Safe for work, but some things, once seen, cannot be unseen. For reference: So now Hammer Bikers are forever tainted for me. In the story, the Rabbit does go on a spree of bopping things on the head with the hammer, which is pretty much what my Captain will do. Maybe he needs a new name.

Xenith Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 It's been a while since an update, so here goes: 5DC in progress, assault marines sprayed and ready I have also learned that I really prefer painting one model at a time as opposed to production lining them. The first and last guys here were highlighted in different ways, one with Skavenblight dinge and codex grey (baseball bat guy), the other (bottom) dark reaper and fenrisian grey, a more blue-black scheme. I umm-ed and aah-ed for a while but I think I prefer the white grey. The blue-black is neat, but just doesn't look at brutal as the stark grey highlights. I'm also experimenting with a new way of painting white chest eagles: Previous: codex grey base -> nuln oil wash -> ceramite white highlight New way: celestra grey base -> wash of 50:50 lahmian to drakenhof nightshade -> hghlight with ulthuan grey. The blue-white will work well on black and gold armoured models, but I don't think it will as well on red ones.

Dante2285 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I Paint my white the same way you do. I go one step farther and highlight over the Ulthuan Grey with Scar White. I've been liking the effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazcruzk Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I really like the yellow eyes and hazard stripes against black/red. Awesome work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 Hey thanks! The yellow eyes is something I did with a couple of Mk4 heresy marines a few months ago and really liked the look - I think this might be the route I take from now on, at least with the DC.
