Halandaar Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 TITH, I collected Overkill and a Project Box, and bought the supremacy objectives! How's your project box? I got one and it was super warped. GW replaced it, but that one was warped as well. Does yours have nice, clean lines? I got one about 6 months ago and it was spot on, no warping at all. Perhaps you just got unlucky? :( JeffTibbetts 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffTibbetts Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 It's possible, but after a lengthy conversation with GW support, it's clear that most have at least some warping. There was a third one that got lost in the mail, so I don't know how good that one looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffTibbetts Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) I'm confident some of the early ones may have been better, from talking to folks online. I don't know if they changed manufacturers or what, but it would appear that most new ones have issues. If I see a 'clean' one out at a store I'll likely snap it up. GW was really cool about it, but after a long, drawn-out process I just asked for a credit instead. I love their customer service. YITH I used a new rattle can primer, based on a recommendation. It's an auto primer called Duplicolor, and I used the Sandable black matte one. I sprayed very lightly but I have to say, I'm very pleased with the durability (tested it this morning) and the 'tooth' it provided. Now I can start working on these Overkill minis for real! I've got about half the marines partially built, waiting for some airbrushing, and everything else I sprayed on the sprue, but they still need to be cleaned up. Anyway, for those of us in the US, I'd suggest checking out Duplicolor Sandable auto primer. I even picked it up on sale for $5, but it feels like a premium product. I get nervous about sprays, but the gentleman that suggested it said he's been using it without issue for 15 years so I thought 'why not?'

Kobrakei Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 YITH I kept working on Kill-Team Cassius. Currently working on the Blood Angel, Space Wolf, Librarian and Ultramarine painting the silver arms. It's incredibly striking even at this early stage!

I want to make the rest as dark as possible to really make them pop. There's too much bling on these guys for my taste, so I'm looking at options to reduce the color palette and keep as much black and silver as I can. I don't really care for all the little bits of chapter iconography. Halandaar 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobrakei Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I'm the other way, I'm going blingy as all hell with them! If they were an army i'd be more inclined to go starker, but as they are a small bunch of individuals I think it'll be fine :) Also, I always enjoy having more chances to paint gold now I've started using Kizzdoug's method - it looks amazing when done!

Carlson793 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 TITH I started primering/base coating some Myrmidon Destructors to use as counts-as Kataphron Breachers/Destroyers (they just look more appealing to me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickSix Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 YITH I did some airbrush work on my Librarius Conclave force weapons, power packs and did some OSL on two Lascannon devastators. I am pretty happy with the Devastators but the force weapons could be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqui Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Today in the hobby, I was given a second chance on a failed ebay bid. Needless to say I took up on it.

Veteran Sergeant Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I actually got back to 40K for the first time in almost a year. Deathwatch: Overkill has me super excited, even if, heretically, it's for the Genestealer Cultists. I have no use for another ten overly ornate, monopose midget Space Marines. Sadly, I can't post anything about them on the project log here, but the article (and pictures) is up on my blog. I might be tempted to convert some Counts-As Marines to represent all the different characters, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay TodayITH, I scrapped my previous painting idea - red primer with brush-painted metals - as wwaayy too time consuming, and reversed it - red primer, brushed nickel base spray on everything, then hand painting the red bits. Much faster - I got 4 models almost fully base coated in the time it took me to barely start doing it the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
