Fire Golem

Recommended Posts

Gents,

I pledged last month for World Eaters, however because of this:

I had to scrap work on my WE to ensure that my IF were finished on time and ready to go. we have currently entered Phase 0 of an escalation league from 500 to 1000 pts with 5 v 5 (traitor v Loyalist) in pure Zone Mortalis. I have to get all of my Fists up to 100% painted for this Campaign. If it is possible i will pledge a couple of IF models to this challange to keep me on track! There isn't a mini that is bare resin at this point, i just want to bring what I have up to 100% done.

 

The knight is looking great Atia, and do I see some painted Fellblade sponsons in the background?

thx^^ my knight is almost complete now. The sponsons are very WIP, i will finish the fellblade after the knight.

 

Sorry loyalists :P

not the best pictures, will do some better with dailight^^

 

good night every-one!

Great work Atia! That thing looks properly mean. I reckon my Achilles could give it a run for its money though... tongue.png

And Kor'Vesh, your Sallies look fantastic! That green is perfect.

I've managed to base my Seekers this week and get the Rhino finished, all of which I'm quite pleased with. Barring two Predators, they're the first unit I've managed to finish for my Imperial Fists.

Here's the month's pledge...

And the full squad...

The XII Legion Praetor is up next... Other than a couple of touch ups, my last mini for my World Eaters*.

*Until, of course, FW release some other awesome thing that makes me go 'Oooooooooh...'

I always remember the Imperial Fists as the yellow marines from Space Crusade but these ones just look badass. It's amazing when people make the yellow look like the unbreakable wall they are.

 

Well I have 4 Volkites nearly done.

@StruManChu: Awesome, love that heavy bolter on the rhino!

 

@Thunor's Hammer: Nice, love that sinister colour scheme.

 

some progress on the fellblade:

ordered the new imperial armour aswell as the first parts of my army after the death guard (1 hunter, 1 vindicator, 2 spartans, 2 rhinos, 1 dreadnought and 30 power armour marines to go!)

How do you do that lovely weathering?

for the battle damage use a sponge with leadbelcher, go over it with nuln oil or seraphim sepia on some parts

 

for the rust weathering

1) Use Seraphim Sepia to predetermine the weathering,

2) Go over it with Dracenhof Nightshade and/or Nuln Oil 

3) Go over that with Typhos Corrosion, be careful, it will try to kill your brushes 

4) brush over it with ryza rust, be careful, it's a very strong colour!!

There is something about the Death Guard colour scheme that seems to lend itself to weathering (that and everyone who does Death Guard seems to be an excellent painter).  It's one of the areas I'd really like to add, kind of a sooty, burnt look rather than rusty.  I do have a Sicaran Vigilator which will have heavy flamer sponsons.  That will be in December or January I think (at best).

 

I personally think the Salamander models are excellent so good call on you next Legion (mine is based on Death Guard if Mortarion ended up on Nocturne so the link is there :))

Awesome progress, and loads of love for the XVIII legion and their models... Things have progressed nicely this weekend!

@Battle8rother - A zone mortalis campaign looks great fun. You should definately pledge up some of those lovely fists for the loyalist cause!

@Atia - Stunning Knight, and awesome progress on the fellblade. The weathering is great, and really catures the feel of the death guard. I can only say that I'm pleased you are joining the honourable XVIII next! Vulkan is a stunning model, I've been prepping him a bit this weekend, and I'm very impressed. I look forward to see what you do with them.

@StruManChu - You're fists are great. I love the idea of a central black stripe down the models. That combined with your battle damage gives them a really rugged defensive feel. Very cool. No rush on that World Eater though - do some more loyalists first eh? biggrin.png

@Thunor's Hammer - So I've been looking at your plog for the Infernal guard. They are fantastic mate. I really enjoyed it, and there is just something about the ash grey that you are using that looks amazing on astartes plate. The lines of magma are obviously cool too. Great progress anyway. I love the death-rays. What are you going to use for the heavy flamer sponsons on your Venator? I want to put a heavy flamer on my normal sicaran but need to track down a decent piece!

As for myself I got a little distracted this weekend and have been cleaning and building Vulkan and my Sicaran rather than finishing my pledge. I'll get started soon, I promise. I'll need to sort out my stormshield for the Praetor first though!

Yeah, due to participatin in a Heresy campaign set to start in 2-3 weeks I may have to change my pledge since I'm rolling a pride of the legion list with 25+ terminators and 10 templars (8 with primus medicae and sigismund) to relfect that.

 

Also happy that ill finally be able to use my LR achilles for something :p

So I've just got home from my GFs and was expecting my FW stuff to be here, but all that's arrived is my Contemptor Lascannons -.- so I hope the rest comes tomorrow. I know they send it out seperately if you change an order but that's quite a few days between the two arriving -.-

first wip of the landraider

dont get me wrong, i love building and modeling vehicles (tanks, walkers & flyers). but painting them for me is soul destroying. anything bigger than a dread is an ordeal for me, i have respect, oh so much respect, for those who can do mechanized armies.

 

And the large areas of white, how i loathe thee. 

 

That being said, i present the first wip pictures of (the yet unnamed( open to suggestions)) land raider.
