Learning how to paint white. Took a long time to do the helmet and torso. Hopefully will be able to speed it up a bit.

Lovely looking army, nice painting style and some elegant conversions. Keep up the awesome work!

[RayGun924]

Hello from the abyss! I've been busy the past 5 months and haven't done any painting until today! Finished the first apothecary. I'm not terribly happy with the cloth. I may just remove it and add a tabard at some point or leave him clothless. Let me know what you guys think!

 

 

Cheers!

Just seen these, fantastic work. I love the Praetor especially. :tu:

[heptus]

Oh I love the color scheme of your apothecary. It really inspires me with the idea, thanks!

[RayGun924]

Some more work on the 2nd apothecary

Got my hands on the Tribune Praetor and chopped him up for my own devices

Will be adding a cape once I get my greenstuff skills back. Also probably will add wings on the shoulder pad and other III legion iconography.

 

Thanks for the input

 

Cheers!

Nice work with the brass etch! That pose on the tribune is really good.

Hello all. It's been a while since I've worked on my EC due to life and work but I've been inspired to try to get them done for my local GW's Armies on Parade in October. I'm slowly learning how to airbrush which will hopefully let me work a little faster.

I've been working on these jetbikes for quite some time. I don't like the Scimitar FW jetbikes nor have I found suitable 3rd party ones either. I decided to build some inspired by Sammael using the Ravenwing plastic kit.

The bikes need more flair but I may just paint those on.

 

Feedback always appreciated

 

 

Cheers,

Ray

Wow, some phenomenal work on that jetbike! By far my favorite bike to jetbike conversion I've seen so far. Definitely looking forward to seeing more!

[Spiritual Liege]

The jetbike looks a little too brick from the front in my opinion. Otherwise its cool.

 

On the other hand, your Praetor tribune conversion is just amazing, I'm gonna steal that for my (eventual) Blood Angels.

Thanks, for the constructive criticism, I tried to make it look sleeker/more aerodynamic but didn't quite achieve that goal. As for the Praetor conversion, it was actually quite easy to hack him up. Good luck with the conversion and do share photos when you get down to it.

 

Also, I finished painting the second apothecary. Just need to do backpacks for both and then get them based.

Hi all. True to form, It has taken me over a year to get anything else painted. Managed to finish a scratchbuilt rhino using plasticard and some Bic pens. The edge highlighting is really choppy and it's my first time using an airbrush. Overall,  I'm pretty happy with it but still have a ways to go.

That is awesome!

 

Does it match the size of current rhinos or is it maybe a bit bigger?

It's the same size. I guess scratchbuilt is a bit of a misnomer. I just used plasticard to make it look like the Deimos rhinos

 

Cheers,

That looks phenomenal.

[hushrong]

It's still awesome! Great way to turn the basic plastic rhinos into the fancy deimos ones!

[Pearson73]

Really liking the upgraded rhino, you've done a very clean job. I really need to start messing with plasticard, it'll get me a much better finish than the cardstock I currently use.
