Spaced Hulk Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Is the dude with a robotic leg a kitbash or is that an actual mini with a robotic leg mate? It's a conversion/kitbash mate. The bionic leg is from Anvil Industry, which I 'grafted' onto a normal Primaris leg just above the knee. Axineton 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bionic leg is from Anvil Industry, which I 'grafted' onto a normal Primaris leg just above the knee. I like how closely it pays homage to an old marine miniature. I was pleased to see that. Nice work on the Fists. :) Spaced Hulk 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrion Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 http://www.solegends.com/citcat1991a/cat1991ap006smcommanders-00.jpg Spaced Hulk - that captain update is sensational. As is the 3rd ed command squad sergeant update too. Soon as I saw it I recognised it. It's probably older than most fraters!

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 It’s certainly older than this frater! God-Emperor if the old metal models aren’t gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Takatus Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 It just occurred to me, the Jes Goodwin miniatures on that page have aged so much better than the other sculpts. I wonder when the models were sculpted in comparison to each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrion Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 As far as I can tell, 'Imperial Commander' (Marneus' first name) and Space Wolf Commander were both 1988, whilst the Captains were 1991. The captains were actually in the Blue Catalogue in 1991, so may have been released in 1990. Apart from their size, being notably smaller than even normal marine models let alone the primaris range, the captains hold up really well, especially the UM and DA, if a little static.

MrSpoon Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 YITH I attempted to airbrush some marbling effects. It was beyond frustrating; I found I was in the perfect temperature where my white paint became more viscous (it is pretty cold in the UK at the moment; even more so in my garage) so it required extra thinning. The paint was then so thin it ran when it hit the panels I was painting even when I was very sparing with it, leaving me with with a splodgy mess.

Axineton Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Yesterday in the hobby I primed a Death Jester and Shadowseer I bought pre built last week and a Primaris chaplain along with a few power swords so I can practice the power sword glazing technique.

treadhead Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) TITHI Finished painting the last of the necrons bases white in preparation for adding the snow flock, only to find out i've got practically none left, and apparently gw no longer make it (grrrr) any similar third party products fellow denizens of the uk have tried out? YITHI Tried out the chainmail with mithril edge highlights on the blades of my necrons,Sadly it just doesn't look right back to the drawing board once more it is, going to try the waylander green technical over it first though as doghouse suggested Edited January 27, 2021 by treadhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Focslain Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 YiTH I mapped out my next big build. An Imperial outpost made from the gang stronghold. Basic floor plan is as follows: The internal space is 11"x8" and I'm not sure what to place in it, if anything at all. Friend suggested a comms relay. I have stuff for it, just not sure if I want to. Might build it just for the heck of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

painting.for.my.sanity Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Yesterday IRL I celebrated two years with my partner. YITH, she gave me a Triumph of St Katherine (and I proceeded to spend much of the day assembling it). I guess my current expansion to my Order of The Iron Veil has gotten a bit bigger. It's definitely the most complex model I've ever worked on. Currently looks like it'll be in 21 subassemblies, that'll get assembled into eight blocks (which I'll photograph so you can see all the later obscured detail) before completing the model. For those wondering what I got her - those massive Mason Cash mixing bowls you see on Great British Bakeoff.

Focslain Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 YiTH - Got both watchtowers and the bare bones of the 8 wall sections built. The tower is taller then the base bastion. Also ordered three bastions for my FLGS as I might as well get that out of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axineton Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 TITH I assembled the hardest and most difficult miniature known to mankind: the Death Jester! Also built four of the terminators from the space marine heroes series 2 set and swapped their left arms for the left arms from the terminator kit that I got really cheap. Just need some deathwatch shoulder pads then they can be primed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwango Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 They are looking very nice! YITH I did a test scheme for my imperial fists. It was probably one of the worst looking minis I've painted for a long time. Not to be put off TITH i did another scheme. Much happier with this one so far. Still got the shading to do but, in theory, the yellow is done. All done by airbrush so ill hopefully be able to streamline the technique.

Fenrykus Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Today in the hobby I picked up a few new paints and some paint medium, as well as some mixing beads for my pots. I was able to salvage a few of my old paints, and I'm hoping with the medium and the the beads I might be able to salvage some more that are right on the edge of just being trashed. Tomorrow in the hobby (I don't know if I'll be online tomorrow) I will be picking up some brushes and knocking out most of my January vow for the 12 Months of Hobby challenge.

Vermintide Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 TITH I gave this guy a long awaited coat of paint. By long awaited, I mean the last time I visited a store in person, I bought some Agrax, and told the guy this is what I was going to be working on that afternoon...
