Firedrake Cordova Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Really nice greenstuff work there One minor critique, if I may - the head doesn't quite look right - I think the neck might want to do with being a little shorter?

Dr_Ruminahui Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 That belt buckle is amazing - I'm assuming you used a mold, but its still super crisp.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted July 14 Author Share Posted July 14 Black primer coat and then a nice white top coat to have a good backdrop for the other colors in the paint scheme. Which I still need to come up with. Won't go into details but work's been awful all week and then the airbrush was giving me trouble for hours and I'm surprised I got a result this clean.

Dr_Ruminahui Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) I like it - it works really well with the model. Only thing I would change would be to make the green "pointy" rather than rounded where it ends on the front projections. As well, what colour do you intend to do the bit of circle (currently black/grey) under the front of the turret? If you don't have a particular colour in mind, I would do that green as well.

I agree about the rounded area not working. To be honest, as much as I like the paint scheme it's become a real pain in the ass to paint. I love the Eldritch (teal) color from P3 but with The Warmachine IP and the P3 paint range being sold off, I don't know how much longer it may be available, and even so I have trouble getting a consistent shade and highlight with it even when measuring drops of paint for the proportions of my original trial recipe. Probably going to strip the body of the Scorpion and might substitute a different color for the teal.

Pearson73 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Oof, that's looking gorgeous! The choice of metal colour for the guns really complements the teal. I agree that changing the way the green cuts off could be good, perhaps some tendrils reaching out into the black? That said, you maintain a much sharper cut off on the other tanks, right? I'm crossing my fingers that the supply of paint isn't cut off because it's such a nice colour.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 11 Author Share Posted August 11 Last night I discovered one of the FLGS near me, who I frequent because they're the only ones relatively nearby (40 mile round trip) that stock Vallejo, are not only stocking Pro Acryl now, but they have all of the Signature Series paints individually! I grabbed Green Oxide from the Ben Komets set, Dark Jade from the Vincey V set, Dark Bronze from the Matt Cexwish set, and then Magnesium, Dark Neutral Grey, and Bold Titanium White from the normal range. All but the metallics are directly going into another attempt to lock down a consistent scheme for these superheavies and any future Blades of Vaul models. Will do some tests and would like to get a new paint job on the Scorpion up in a day or two.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 7 Author Share Posted September 7 That wasn't a lie, but simply the ADHD not cooperating and work becoming a big pain in my ass for the last month. Sorry to say I don't think I will finish in time for the event deadline.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted yesterday at 07:18 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 07:18 AM This month, Heroes Infinite (aka Raging Heroes) has some nice emo void elves on offer, but one model in particular snagged my attention and I had to grab the bundle. What is this, you ask? Notice the seated archon on the top deck up there. That's right, it's the Dais of Destruction! Though, as pretty as the model is, it doesn't really look like it can deal out that much... uh... destruction. Two wing guns and a single turret gunner? Nah, that won't do. To establish what this looks like 'out of the box', here's the whole thing assembled in 3d Builder. It is pretty, but it needs to be a throne befitting an archon. First up is removing the nondescript wing guns with something that has a little more bite to it. I am by no means a great 3d modeler, but I did manage to cobble together a big haywire blaster to spruce up the wings. There's also a not-Raider/Ravager ship in the void elves pack that has seated turret gunners and I'll need to figure out exactly how to mount them on the sides, but I think 6 gunners and the giant haywire blasters does a lot better to put the D in Dais of Destruction.

Cadmus Tyro Posted yesterday at 08:19 AM Share Posted yesterday at 08:19 AM What a lovely 3d sculpt, not sure the giant haywire blaster so far out on the wings work in terms of model balance, at least IMHO. Just a thought, what about having a single centrally mounted underslung haywire blaster. Keep the original weapons under the wing, ie closer to the hull. Sprinkle with turrets to taste….or just bring the wing mounted haywire blasters proximally towards the hull? Cadmus Spoiler p.s. love catching up with all your projects on here from time to time, keep up the inspiring work.

Keep the original weapons under the wing, ie closer to the hull. Sprinkle with turrets to taste….or just bring the wing mounted haywire blasters proximally towards the hull? It would be very difficult to do because the wing, the gun, and a pod underneath it are all one solid piece. TBH, even if I thought I could pull it off, it would be very time consuming. While I was at work today I did have the thought of putting the haywire weapon on the nose similar to the Reaper or maybe underslung and doing different weapons on the wingmounts. Since this is going to be part of my corsairs, it's not Vect and I could get away with mixing some craftworld weapons in there. I wish I liked the look of the dark lance better because some big ones on the wing would be cool.
