Blindhamster Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I'm really hoping for a tastey new Karlean model in the new terminator armour! 27 minutes ago, happyslugger said: I'm working on these. big fan of infiltrator models, the unit feels less "blood angel" to me, but they're so useful on the tabletop. keep up the good work brother! happyslugger 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin777 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) Karlaen's mini is still pretty fantastic, so I doubt it'll get revamped anytime soon. Edited April 21, 2023 by Paladin777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My plans for 12m of hobby have gone so far out the window they hit terminal velocity on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin777 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Oof... mine have been going well so far, though I barely made my March pledge in time! I finished the evening of the 31st! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Just finished assembling Dante and I have to say that the new model is lovely and goes together like a dream. The pieces fit snuggly and there are no gaps or distortions. I have left the jump pack off for now to make painting easier. Tomorrow I am going to give him a basecoat of Retributor Armour and then start working on the shading.

WrathOfTheLion Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) I picked up my order of Dante today as well, although I haven't yet been able to assemble him. I'll probably do that this week, then prime him and lay down some retributor armour with the airbrush, then finish it out with a brush.

To enable them to get crisp delineation between the laurels and then rest of the head. It is very had for moulding to handle indentations with complex shapes as parts tend to stick. Doing it this way allows them to pack a lot of fine concave detail into a small object. It is just an artefact of the injection moulding process.

Having the part separate is just a weird flex move on their part and makes the head look funny. Just pure insanity.

Karhedron Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Basecoat and first wash of shading applied. I saved some of my dwindling supply of Aggrax Earthshade Gloss just for Dante and he looks pretty good so far.

I wanted to use it for a generic chapter master but to hard to change is hands or weapons in a clean way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyslugger Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I'm saving my Dante as a treat and won't open or build him until I've cleared this backlog. Going to sit down later, revise my pile of shame and then prioritize what I build and paint moving forwards. Should have these infiltrators done by Monday. My son threw me some old skool terminators (hammers and shields) that he couldn't be bothered to save, so I'm trying to rescue those also lol.
