Thanks for the nice words Ashenwyte 

 

Work on my Imperial Hunters continues - and fans of my beloved Brass Scorpion will know where I'm heading ....

Wow! That's awesome, I love how you did the green like that on the colors. How did you do the detail?

Glad you like it! Basically, I first start with the white using my airbrush - than I add the "splonges" that will be white later with liquid masking tape:

 

 

Let it dry for a bit (but not too long) and than go over it with a sponge using different shades of green. Later I did some very light grey sponging over the white areas too to blend it all together. Transfers and weathering also helps with that!

Glad you like it !

 

And yep, they are an all-female loyalist legio - and the stars of the new Titandeath novel from Black Library (which is bae - read it!). They favour Warhounds, similiary to the Legio Audax on the traitors side.

I really like how the paintjob looks, and the model is coming along very nicely.

 

.... Also, okay, is it just me, or does the Reaver there look like a very angry slug with that paintjob and the lack of any limbs? :lol:

[hushrong]

Titans are looking gorgeous!

[betrayer41]

Late to the thread beautiful stuff here. What has been your factor kit so far? I’m so tempted to jump in but suck at painting flat surfaces.

 

Also I have no idea what Audax looks like!

Welcome on board ! I know what you mean - but an airbrush (or a good spray paint), good quality transfer sheets, maybe a sponge aswell as weathering are your friends!  

[Atia]

Also I have no idea what Audax looks like!

 

Afaik we only have the artwork from Betrayer (?) to go by, so it may change once Forgeworld does their lovely artworks, but:

 

Some Guy did a Warhound based on said artwork - here's a link to his flickr:

Haha totally feel ya

Iirc it matches their description in said novel (which also features them quite heavily) 

 

In other news - proooogress! Still need to do weathering and transfers 

 

 

 

[betrayer41]

That’s so nasty I absolutely love it

Agreed!

LOVE the DG, i think that green is perfect, I have been experimenting with some and cant seem to get it what color did you use?

 

Also.... Motrarion.....   Any chance we could get a close up of his face?!?

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Grandfather Nurgle is surely impressed with your efforts.

[hushrong]

Your latest update is pure eye candy!

Glad you like my little plague buggers - here's my step-by-step list again:

 

 

 

- Primer with Corax White (GW spray can)

 

Basecoats:

 

White:

- Coat of FW Typhon Ash

- Zenithal layer of FW Typhon Ash mixed with a bit of white

- Shading with thinned down Agrax Earthshade

 

Green:

- Coat of Loren Forest

- Highlight with a mix of Loren Forest and Death Guard Green

 

- Shade everything (white and green) with thinned down Seraphim Sepia. I use the FW airbrush clear for this (lots of lots of lots of FW clear mixed with sepia)

 

Highlights and Bronze:

 

- White is highlighted with Vallejo Aged White - I mix more and more white into it for further ones.

- Green is further highlighted with a mix of Death Guard Green and Screaming Skull.

 

Bronze parts is

- Basecoat of Castellax Bronze

- Agrax Earthshade

- Highlights with Sycorax Bronze

- Highlights with Stormhost Silver

- Verdigris (I'm using the technical verdigris paint from Vallejo)

 

Weathering:

 

- I sponge some Iron Hands Steel and Vallejo Dry Rust on green and white parts

- Streaking with Verdigris, Vallejo Vomit and Ammo of Mig Streaking Rust Effects

- Metallic parts get some rust weathering powder 

 

 

 

 

Regarding Morty, let's see if this works? I have a huge pc screen so pictures are always huge for me and seeing your models blown up a thousand times their real size always triggers me haha. 

 

 

 

 

Grandfather Nurgle is surely impressed with your efforts.

Your latest update is pure eye candy!

 

Thanks boys  *waddles back into my manufactorium to continue painting my Legio Solaria Demi-Maniple*
