Aqui Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) Today in the hobby, I'm in the middle of an experiment. I'm trying to work out if it's possible to spray models grey and then put a coat of white over the top in such a way that it looks like the model has been highlighted with the white (if that makes sense), so the grey gives the white some depth. I've sprayed some sprue that I keep around for such things with the grey. Just waiting for it to dry so I can add the white... Edit: The experiment didn't work. There isn't enough control where the spray of paint is concerned. However, the grey paint I have goes on very well, so I'll be using that instead of black in some cases. Also: I still have a fair bit to do on her, but she's coming (definitely need to spray varnish the models when I finish them though) Edited July 17, 2015 by Aquilanus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might possibly be down to the lack of surface area. I'm not willing to risk ruining a Rhino (with FW Sister doors) to try it though. I'll see how things go with the grey basecoat. If I feel the risk is worth it, I'll try it for real... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlson793 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 TITH, I prepped bases I'll need for games this weekend, including a Knight base with HP dice holder. Now to figure out the best way to get that Techmarine Servoharness to non-permanently attach to a set-pose DV Biker... YITH I contacted FW about a rules question (see thread elsewhere on B&C). Sunday ITH, I primered my Secret Weapon Forgotten City battle board, with my first attempt at preshading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Debonair Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Today in the hobby I almost wept with joy because the B&C was back online. At least during the downtime I was able to finish my ETL vow. There's always a silver lining if you know where to look! Machine God 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 ... I discovered that a whirlwind barrage doesn't play nicely with Dire Avengers (or Wave Serpents). My first battle with a Gladius (five man squads, an Ironclad and a suppression force) resulted in a comprehensive battering of an aspect warrior formation. It was almost a tabling, but he hid his surviving Warp Spiders behind a bunker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrack Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 TDITH I emptied a dirty water pot that had mistakenly lain untouched for over a week. I am almost certain that the substance festering inside may have achieved sentinence. In any event, it was purged with bleach / virus bombed.

old git Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 TITH I started building a Knight Crusader to go with a librarius conclave, the end result (hopefully) to have a prescient, invisible knight for an upcoming GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Antonius Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 TITH I've been working on removing all the mould lines and sprue on all my bitz and then organizing them into their respective parts. It's been an on going project for several days. Just so tired of spending so much time just looking for the right parts. This is going to help so much in the future!

Carlson793 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 TITH, I'm playing a cat-and-mouse game with the National Weather Service, whose forecast for today's local humidity has been changing hourly (and, for my purposes, negatively). Was supposed to have sub-50% from 1p-8p...now, at 2:30p, it's 63%, too little wind, and won't be sub-40% until 5p-8p... C'mon! I got four knights waiting on a metallic base coat!

old git Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Further to my earlier entry re building a knight; I'm not an over zealous GW fanboy but I have to say, this being the first knight I've built, what a magnificent kit it is. The detail, engineering and precision involved make it a joy to put together. Normally building models, apart from the odd special conversion, is a bit of a chore before you open a paint pot. With the knight I'm actually enjoying the build process and consequently taking my time over it. Just sayin'... JeffTibbetts 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Today in the Hobby, I'm waiting for an oop Seraphim squad to arrive via ebay and an Immolator from GW via my local branch, along with Citadel Journal 49 and the Witch hunters Codex. Come the weekend (I hope), I'll have a big portion of my Sisters army done. Then I turn my attention back to other things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
