New Army Blog: Storm Brothers (Primaris Chappy WIP on p.33)

Thanks!

 

Cleanly painting the line between the purple and the gray on the fenders was a challenge-- I kept over-correcting each time I tried to clean it up: over the line with purple, then over the line with the gray, then over the line with the purple again... lol, crazy making! 

I am considering gluing a very thin strip of plasticard at the transition line-- I will see which one is a bigger pain in the booty. Sounds silly, but would give me a very clean line to highlight. 

Any suggestions on weathering/damaging? I am brand new to 40K-- when I first got into WHFB, every SM model I saw in White Dwarf was clean and bright and looked like it just rolled off the assembly line. http://www.dakkadakka.com/s/i/a/baf5f2e54c6b17d5c5d39aecadfa1272.gif

I have to ask a serious question...

Are you using the missile launchers and backpacks. I'm hunting them down and refuse to pay $60 Aus for 2 pieces.

 

:D

 

Please say there not in use please

:S

 

:'(

[geektom]

Sorry, Jasp- I am planning on using them.

 

Have you tried Bitz Barn?

[GhostMalone]

Hmmm no I must look into bitz barn

[geektom]

They are *the* place for selection and value.

 

I their shipping seems to crazy for what you need, let me know and I can include what you want in my next order (should be placing one soon) and then I can send them in to you via airmail.

[geektom]

Lol, not the ideal rug to drop dark gray SM bits on... can you see the torso I dropped in all that pattern and dog hair?

Fun game, we should do this more often :)

That was quite easy, actually. Maybe I've done this sort of thing waaay too much...

[geektom]

You guys are clearly experts! I am embarrassed to say how long it took me. There is a head down there, too- I finally gave up and clipped another one off the sprue, lol...

[geektom]

Finally ready for primering my first squad!

Looking nice my shanizzle!

They be pimping and you need the master of marches and his pimp stick!

[Dosjetka]

That is a seriously nice colour scheme you've got there. Really nice mix of colours :tu: I'll be following this quite keenly!

[Corsair]

Very nice. I tried a purple/white/yellow scheme once a long time ago not too dissimilar to this and failed utterly.

[deathspectersgt7]

Great job like the color scheme.

[BrotherCaptainArkhan]

Dude I'm still sat here trying to find the head in that picture of the rug. Talk about OCD, you coulda given me a trigger warning.

 

;)

 

Very bold and proud colour scheme, looking forward to seeing these guys en masse. I really like your test biker. Keep it up man :)

 Thanks! it is actually a light gray, but it does totally look like white in the pictures. I almost went with a darker gray just to make sure it *didn't* look white-- just didn't look the same, though.

 

Trying to decide what to do with future transports, ie, how much purple vs. how much gray. I like the way the bike came out, so I will probably stick with something similar... I have never painted anything larger than a Knight on a horse, so I am a little intimidated by doing rhinos and tanks!

lol, me too! I started smacking the floor seeing if I could make it jump-- all I did was make myself sneeze! My wife just rolled her eyes...

Chaplain on bike step 1:

I've always felt the corzius on chaplains was out of place size wise to smash into someone's skull it's like the equivelant of me using a 100mm conduit

[geektom]

Yes, I would agree- the handles always seem too thick. I assume with power armor they don't have to worry about grip, though...

[geektom]

Hey friends, I have posted my first Roster-- this is what I will be "shopping" to unless you have suggestions/corrections:

Thanks!

very nice colour scheme geektom. usually i see colour schemes that are either mono colour or quite dark in my usual group but this scheme is very bold and striking. love the plasticard detail too. as a former scars successor player (who had a black and red colour scheme   ) i feel the khan would be very proud of these. looking forward to seeing more

[chaplainmikey]

That's a seriously cool and unique colour scheme. I really liked the Terminator but I think the colours work beautifully on the Biker!
