Dantay VI Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Yup Vykryl, you are right. Happy wife, happy life. I need to highlight up the plates around the exhaust vent and maybe soot up the exhaust. agrax Earthshade is ace for giving that grimy look. I may use it on the ligher grey underside to see how it looks, as the nuln oil is runnnig low. Saying that I could improvise my own wash by diluting my very ancient chaos balck that I have kicking around here somewhere... I am using IA painting masterclass volume 1 as they have a lot of fliers in it, but adapting techniques to what I have in hand. For example they airbrush most of their stuff and use oils, Johnsons Klear etc... Stuff I cant lay my hands on while on a rig... Oh and a hairspray technique foe doing battered armour plates.... I am not allowed hairspray out here, plus an almost bald guy with hairspray? I ge enough funny loks from security checking on the flight to work with my models as it is! Good news is that I am getting to keep the rest of the tax cheque to treat myself for my birthday. Yay!! Too much FW to choose from, I'll probably buy something useless and impractical... Like a Knight titan or some DKOK Hey Skeletoro, yes break out the Raptor fella... But only after the commission. Your friend needs that army for hthe tourney! Btw did you get your primer issues sorted? My plan is to run it as it is, a solid interceptor and ground support unit. The ball turrets will be magnetised so I can swap out the guns to better suit the opponent. Until I get a Storm Fang that cannon up front can proxy as the Helfrost, Turrets have the Heavy Bolters/ Lascannons and the underslung pods can missiles. I'll run the GK Storm raven I have as the Storm Wolf as loadouts are similar modelwis and capacity wise, until I can buy the new model. I'll be popping into my new flgs when I get home. Need supplies and its nice to support them too.

Sohail187 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 You've reminded me I really need to paint my one!!! How do you see yourself using this thing now we have the stormGrr? The fireraptor is in a league of its own stormwolf or not. As soon as i get mine together I dont see me not using it in any game over 1500-1600+, It is just disgustingly good and sexy on the table.

skeletoro Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 It's good. I have generally been happy with mine. It does arguably have a touch more firepower than the default storm wolf load out (missiles maybe a tad better than TLLC but a close thing, twice as many heavy bolter shots, twin linked heavy 7 beats twin linked small blast, and strafing run boosts accuracy slightly too. but that's leaving aside the potential multi melta upgrades and the second fire mode for the helfrost cannon - or the helfrost rule for that matter). But given that there's not a LOT of difference and the storm wolf is also a transport, I think i'll be more often fielding the wolf. That said, now that land raiders and storm wolves can bw dedicated transports i'll have a lot more room in my list for things like fire raptors and land raider Proteii (syntax?)

Dantay VI Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 I just got the Fire Raptor because. A: I think they are on of the most gorgeous models FW have done 2: I could never normally afford it but I got a good deal on a trade with Marvmoogy, who is a great guy btw and frequents the B & C... I really want to make an air wing of 3 of them, but financial constraints migh mean 1 Raptor, leading a wing with 2 Storm Fangs. I also really like the Storm Eagle, but I am really leary after the horror stories, so I may lean towards the Assault Ram, as modelling wise it is meant to be easier... The only down side is someone recently posted apic saying it erminded them of Falkor http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/Wzi1V6bnxLY/hqdefault.jpg: Vykryl and I have been chatting and hopefully you will like what we have concocted for the decoration, if I can pull it off, firt though, lets get these engines done!!

skeletoro Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 1 raptor and 2 stormgrr is where I am at right now. Miiiight get another grr at some point and would like to eventually get a caestus?? But so pricy. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290833-the-rout-released-fenrys-hjolda/page/6/#findComment-3784595 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 I agree with the pricing. FW is pricy, for what would be a specialist model. At double the GW prices anyway.

skeletoro Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I get a discount on the plastic stuff but no such luck with FW. So a Caestus would be maybe NZD220, and I could get 3 Stormfangs for like.. NZD195??

Dantay VI Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 Not sure of the conversion rates, but it sounds pretty brutal. £49 for the plastics £98 or so for the Raptor, so its 2:1 at full price here.

DobbyKroket Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I wish I had your press-mould casting skills~ Your dedication to freehand shield designs is impressive! I really like those Justaerin conversions, in fact I'm leaving this thread before I start wanting some FW TDA of my own... Oh, actually, Sven, where did you get that shield design? I love it. Kudos to you, Dantay, for the job you did freehanding it onto the shield, too. well, sorry for not having checked on this post more often (phone can't handle too much awesomeness) but I liked the idea of the knotwork designs so I went to google images and I searched for the pics and I chose one I liked rps ps your painting is really awesome dantay Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290833-the-rout-released-fenrys-hjolda/page/6/#findComment-3787213 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 Thanks Sven, I really appreciate your feedback, How are things with you? Time to restart the "adopt a puppy" campaign. As you know I like shields on my models and have been doing shields for my models. A few friends, including our very own RPS have put forward ideas and designs. This is the latest design: Done for Flint Anyhoo, to start off with I have 4 cataphractii, and 1 tartaros still requiring a shield, and so now is your chance to adopt a shield design and/or name for your chosen champion This is a link to a gallery I have set up with design ideas, but if you have a design idea of your own then please put it forward. Oh and Also the Thunderwolves, the shields are too big so need to be redone, if you want top adopt a puppy riding a bigger puppy then make your nomination known!!

Dantay VI Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 I am glad you like it A little progress over lunch.... I have 2 or 3 designs I quite like for the front end so we shall see how we go.... Design number 1. Doesnt look so great just now as I have to sort some of the knots and the wolf eye. And te squiggle by her mouth What do you think? Should I leave the markings black, like a stealth camo thing, a dark gun-metal colour , or go bling-tastic with gold? Or maybe another colour... give me your views Any and all opinions welcome!

Konnavaer Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Looks awesome brother, I would go with some fairly subtle highlighting in a dark grey to keep it fairly subtle and understated but thats just me, looking forward to seeing this monster finished !

Dantay VI Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Cool, I am glad you guys like it! I do have another 2 designs for the front end, so I'll paint another one on the other side and then do a mock up of the other, then we can maybe make a choice on what this fearsome beast shall look like :) Thanks again for your encouragement.
