Evicerator Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Nice to see this blog being bumped again Have you considered pledging that Stormraven for our assault on this year's ETL? Great work Brother, looking sweet. Lets see some paint on that bad boy! Vow it! Please!! http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306913-e-tenebrae-lux-iv-blood-angels-strategium/?p=4059360 thanks for the encouragement. I thought the deadline was only a month from now when you first requested I do it. I'm slow as can be when it comes to painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, but if you can squeeze in maybe an hour a night then you'll manage it. Airbrush? I'm confident you'll get it done in two months :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confident you'll get it done in two months I have an airbrush and Minitaire paints, but very little experience with it and what little experience I did get was unpleasant haha. Planning on going this route and just ... hand brushing the details >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolchiate Remembrancer Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 We all go through that, if I can offer tips others have offered me(especially for detail work), thin your paints. Mistakes are easier to cover that way. And think of it this way, its your first step towards a painted army! and we will be there every step of the way!

Jolemai Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Should work well. I hand brushed mine and manages to get it to my group's battle ready standard so you should manage it well with a spray. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evicerator Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Not the most exciting paint step but it's the first one. Primed. Will spray base coat once I get home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evicerator Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Well I hunkered down and decided that today was not going to be a total loss for getting work done. I wanted to get *something* done on "Phoenix" (I'm sticking to the name.) besides priming and base coat spraying. Busted out the Carrouburg Crimson and shaded the whole bird. pretty pleased with it all. Despite the rough start from this morning (I'm now a pro at paint removal/stripping =D ) it feels like I actually got something done. I think this morning was a direct result of me rushing to get things done (still on vacation from work and had my little guy with me all day today.) and once I finally told myself to just spray small coats, go watch TV for 30 minutes come back and then spray some more. Tomorrow will likely be spent touching up the shading and possibly working on some detailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
