Heresy Era Death Guard & Mechanicum Small update + fix

[Brother Heinrich]

Nice job man, looks like it's felt the tender caress of an accelerator cannon.

[Daemon2027]

Oh dude, that Malcador is beautiful. I say swamp it!

[Argent aquila]

Takes a special kinda guy to take Forgeworld resin and turn it into a wreck!

exceptional work, i really love the camo pattern you pulled out on the tank, it just.... works.

[Packe]

@ Brother Heinrich

 

That is a possibility since I have a Sicaran.


@ The Hydra

 

Thanks, I am so far really happy with it, I am drifting towards swamp, but wouldn't the Reaver sink in swamps?


@ Argent aquila

I got it cheap from a friend but it still hurts a bit, besides I can't scratch build and a Russ is to small. xD

I really like the camo myself, this will be the camo for all my guard tanks.

 

 

 

 

I did some pose tests with the Malcador and Reaver (will post pictures tomorrow friday), but I am torn on having the Reaver "brace" on the side of the Malcador and have it "tilt", or just having it wrecked between the legs, but I do kind of want to have the Reaver standing on it to have have a Reaver with a "non standard pose", but the tank is so small compared to the foot (look at the pictures later and you will see point). 

Sorry if my writing is incoherent, it's late, I am tired and I have an exam tomorrow ...

Cheers!

PS: Does anyone have a good image hosting website?

Used Photobucket but now they have removed the fast click IMG link so I don't want to use them anymore.

 

 

PPS: 20k views on my log yey! :P

The Reaver might sink in a swamp but not all the way.

[Packe]

Then Swamp it is, and look at the update above.

[Packe]

Aaaand we're back!

Sort of, it looks like my legion has been infiltrated, I have no idea how long this has been going on. But it looks like they are making their move, and exposing themselves.

 

 

Well, can't have an update without some pictures.

 

An overview of my more or less 1000p army.

My Praetor, I also finally found some good use for this guy, Headhunter with HB, and all those squiggly lines really work with AL according to me.

And finally, should I have them gloss or satin? Left and middle are gloss and right is satin, the armor looks better with gloss but it looks of with the metall as gloss.

And finally, should i make a new thread for my AL or should I just make this thread for everything HH related?

[AlphariusOmegon108]

Gloss looks best, what an update man, love this.

[DuskRaider]

I like the satin... as an aside, it may be glare from a TV or something... but that purplish hue to the armour looks awesome, and you really need to make that happen somehow.

[Packe]

Thanks, I like the depth of the Gloss but something with the satin still keeps me there.

 

 

DuskRaider

Yeah, looks like the community is as torn as I am. xD
Unfortunately that is my computer screen, but yes it did look really cool, would not be that hard either, if Tamiya makes a clear purple, which I think they don't. :/

[Kobrakei]

The satin one is perfect!

[BeatTheBeat]

Gloss! Gloss all the way! Looks absolutely sick.

Cheers,
BTB

[Chaeron]

Gloss for me too - looks awesome! Airbrushed? Such a nice colour.

[Packe]

Here is an update on how I think I will proceed, a slightly less glossy gloss, I think it works alright.

 

The question is now, as you see I have one with black helmet and shoulders, he is supposed to be part of my Headhunters, but I am unsure on the black, what do you think?

The colors I have to work with is, blue/green as the rest, metal, dull bronze, black or purple, I am leaning towards bronze or purple. If I could get the black to have the same effect as the rest of the armor but I cant. :/ 

EDIT: As you can see on the HB guy that is my color idea for base, maybe a little bit brighter like mars earth, what do you think?

But they do make a clear blue and red. :D

[Packe]

And I even have these two color literally standing next to each other ... I should stop painting. xD 

 

EDIT: They do not mix, they turn out black. :O

[DuskRaider]

Vallejo makes a purple ink *shrug*

[Packe]

DuskRaider

True, I tried GW's Leviathan Purple, and the results were not so good, the purple did not have the same depth as the clear colors. Ooh well, I guess I'll skip purple.

A small update, I am torn on what color I should have on my Headhunters, which one looks the best?

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee101/packe93/Alpha%20Legion/IMG_8843_zps2olacqns.jpg

[DuskRaider]

Black. Words.

[AlphariusOmegon108]

Left guy

[Packe]

DuskRaider

Excuse my lack of english, but I assume you prefer the black shoulder guards, correct? Maybe I could add some white iconography.

 

 

AlphariusOmegon108

As a whole or one particular shoulderguard? Maybe I should have stated that, but it is one of the four metal colors or the black, not the silver and bronze.

[DuskRaider]

Black shoulders and helm. Perhaps go with the black, but pick out a few with bronze to break it up.

[Packe]

And I'm back in business!

The forges are working at maximum capacity.

First of is a Thanatar Siege automata. (Tabletop ready but needs all the lovely washes and such)
