Cactus Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Looking good. The coppery-red is a nice contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bill Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Looking good. The coppery-red is a nice contrast. Thank you. I am trying to keep with the standard Ravenwing scheme but differentiate my army somehow. The colors I chose to personalize my RW were the VMA copper for portions of the trim and dunkelgelb for leather bits. I am planning on doing a full model wash then painting in the cool white sections. The cool white is the part that scares me right now :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bill Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 First unit done.. Ravenwing 5th squad http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff131/mrbill2u/FirstVowComplete_zpsf1b49cf8.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bill Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 I have spent the last two days smashing together the Sammael, FW Outriders, Ravenwing Command Sqaud and Ravenwing upgrade sprue kits. Here is Sammael and his escort before they meet the airbrush. http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff131/mrbill2u/SammaelAndCommandBefore_zpsfd2025dd.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bill Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Thanks! I plan on assembling another Ravenwing Assault Squad this week then vowing for the Assault Squad, Command Squad and Sammael. Here's hoping :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FleshTearer5000 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Those skull bases for the bikes are unreal! Forgeworld? Awesome contrast on the colour selection aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bill Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 I have been taking a break from painting army men to make rockets. This one is almost done :) http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff131/mrbill2u/firstRocketProgress5_zps1d9002bf.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bill Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 Those skull bases for the bikes are unreal! Forgeworld? Awesome contrast on the colour selection aswell. Sorry... I missed this comment earlier. Those bases are the Secret Weapon Miniatures "Bone Fields" resin bases. For the flight stand I just used sand and random skulls from Secret Weapon Miniatures bag o' skulls. The flowers are Battlefields meadow flowers from Army painter. http://www.secretweaponminiatures.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=79_30_60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillyfish Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Aegnor, no that's a 28mm scale model of Battle barge ordnance. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bill Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Some progress on Sammael & Co. Drying for a bit before the first global ink wash. This is my last minute fulfillment of my blood oath for ETL. I'll pull through, Captain Semper :) http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff131/mrbill2u/BloodOathProgress1_zps8e729359.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJedi Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Looking very cool. How is it working with those models? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bill Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Thanks! The black hides most of the kitbashing sins. I am glad I left the riders off as there is no way I could have fit the brush in there for the seats, motor parts and dashboard. The banner is teaching me that I do not have very good fine detail brush control. C'est la vie. I like how the models are turnings out so far :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Very nice. Great progress too. How much air brushing are you actually doing on these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bill Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 I airbrushed the primer and a coat of VMA metalic black over everything to give the surfaces something visually interesting on them. I used regular brushes to block in the primary colors, then I used the airbrush to spray on a coat of Army Painter soft tone ink over everything. Bright blues, bright white and yellow do not get the fake dip coat, so now I am going back to brush those on as well as some highlights for the off whites and reds of the previous layer. I am a pareto painter. I find the techniques that get me 80% of the results with 20% of the work and I use those. My models will never be show quality. If I took the time to try and get them there I would never get enough time to complete a single unit :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Yup, I don't blame you. They look great and playable with time to spare for some playtime. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bill Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Progress so far. Should be no problem getting them on the bases, putting some flowers on and transferring decals to meet the ETL deadline. http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff131/mrbill2u/BloodOathProgress2_zpsccd7aa0e.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
