Heresy Era Death Guard & Mechanicum Small update + fix

[Packe]

That is so stupid that I have to at least try and make it real, might bit be to hard either, I might have all the spare pieces at home. :P

Well it is an ooga booga moment...use thick gauge bass guitar string as the coil for the box

[Packe]

So a quick update on the base, is it approved now?

 

Also don't mind the model, noticed some things that are not supposed to be there, so just look at the base. :P

 

(And yes it is a bad photo)

The game yesterday went okay, I lost again, but it was a close call, I am liking the Venerator and the Spartan but I am torn on the Grave Wardens.

[Packe]

And a quick update on my other project, I am taking a rest from white, so here are my Mechanicus.

 

Is the Orange approved or was it better with blue?

I really like that orange!  Is that airbrush work?

[Packe]

The Magos is just basecoated orange and then highlighted like normal, the Thallax is used with the "Airbrush highlight" first attempt, but I suppose it is okay. 

[Packe]

A late night update on the Thallax, will take a side by side picture with the blue when the orange is done.

Holy crap these are great!

 

Either the blue or orange look fantastic, have you thought about putting 'em together??

((tbh though, if i were to pick one now, i'd go orange))

 

 

 

keep it up!

[Packe]

Thank you :D

I wanted to have them on the same level of completion before I took a comparison photo, and sicne the orange is more or less done, here is the comparison.

Still torn though ...

[Brother Mayhem]

I like the Orange, makes it really stand out!

[Vel'Cona]

Seconded.  I'd go for the bold on this one.

[MordentHex]

Orange all the way :)

[Packe]

Well, since you all wanted orange, here are some more (5 figures in one update this is mindblowing right?)

Feels so good to paint something else other than white, grey and brown.

 

And I think I will go easy on the battle damage on my Mechanicum, I can't leave them without but not as much as my Death Guard.

[Packe]

And so the Thallax are done, more or less maybe some dry pigments and of course the bases but since I am out of basing material it will have to wait a little bit longer.

[Argent aquila]

definitely glad you went with orange, they look great!

[barry_hhh]

the weathering really stands out with the orange  , it looks  amazing , cant wait to see them all done and a squad pic.

How are you planning to base the thallax?

[Packe]

@ Arget Aquilla

 

So am I, and I am glad you liked them, now it's just the Magos and Thantar (when I can afford him)

 

 

@ barry_hhh

 

Thank you for your kind words. :D

 

My plan is to base them as my later Death Guard (swamp bases) since they are planned to play with each other, but I have not yet decided. But I think that the brown/black/green will work well with the bright orange and make it pop even more.

[Vel'Cona]

That orange is a great color for these models.  I look forward to seeing it on the big 'ol Thanatar!

[Packe]

@ Vel'Cona

I felt the same, unfortunately it will probably take some time until the Thantar comes.

 

 

But do people think that the Swamp bases would fit these guys?

[Andvarr A]

It would deffinately add some contrast to them

[Packe]

Then mud it is, I am trying some emergency basing to see if it works.

 

Should I have light or dark mud?

[Packe]

Here is an update on the Reaver Titans wrecked Malcador

Now this is just the rust layer which I will chip forward later.

 

 

 

And here is my new HQ based on the Iron Hand Iron Father, with Volkite Culverine(?) and Paragon blade/ Scythe.

[GhostMalone]

Love that malcadore and it's not even finished.

 

And that praetor is boss packe, I just feel he needs some Shoulder bulkage

[Packe]

Thanks alot, I am really happy with it especially the motor shot.

 

 

The shoulder are coming soon but I airbrush them separately so that why they are not there yet.

[Packe]

Some more progress on the Malcador, I feel kinda bad for making it a wreck, but it is for the greater good (or something).

 

 

So this is how it looks with all the masking tape in place.

Let's tear it of!

 

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee101/packe93/Death%20Guard/Titan/IMG_8722_zpsfm1ge2by.jpg

 

 

And then do some chipping.

And lastly some washes

Now it's more or less just pigments left, the tracks should be covered in mud, but I am not sure of where I want my Reaver to be fighting in the same swamp area as the rest of my forces or a more rural city area.
