Father Mehman Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 That bird is looking out of sight, man! Having a whole shot of your army gives me some inspiration as to getting mine done. One day there will be a large Death Guard Assault Squad with my name on it. That thought came to me as I am looking at your Bike Squad and thinking of things that don't fit some peoples' ideas of HH fluff. You know: Death Guard don't use Transports, Raven Guard don't use tanks, etc. I won't rant on your thread . Anyway, let me ask you this: how different is it to paint a tank all grimy vs an Infantryman? Is there a steep learning curve to it? After I source a Land Raider proper, I've got a Mk IIB to piece together. That will be my last endeavour before it's AoS painting time as power armour is a very repetitious thing to get done.

Enigami Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Painting the tanks isn't too bad you just have to watch keep two things in mind. When washing with oil (1) watch for spirit leakage and (2) do small areas at a time. Try to do a whole model and your stuck with either spending 2-6 hours finishing it or risk having to repaint. I've found that DG's rite of war lends itself to "fast attack" choices being excellent. Bikes and assault squad are awesome with move through cover and rad grenades!

Chaeron Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Some fantastic group shots there! It's inspiration particularly for my Fire Raptor to come - so thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigami Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 So, I got around to finishing my Landraider today! Here are few WIP shot and some final shots. Next up are few Deathshroud guys and then I'll tackle my Spartan. Hope you guys enjoy! http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/image_zps5dzxyxqw.jpeghttp://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/image_zpsftnhyndu.jpeghttp://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/image_zpstbio7g52.jpeghttp://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/image_zpsnnxikk76.jpeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mehman Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Yeah, that's what it should look like! Impressive job on that, brother! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Nice! I like the lack of ornamentation - very appropriate :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigami Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Thanks Chaeron and Meh! It's nice to have regular visitors to this log. It keeps me churning out models, which is good because I need motivation to catch up on my paintinghaving never been fully caught up before. I really do like a minimalist approach to Death Guard. I didn't even like the legion symbol on the doors at first but used them anyway just because I had them lying around. I've tried to keep ornamentation off of all my models save the command squad. @Meh. Now that I've finished my MKiib, you need to get yours done as well! I'm looking forward to seeing a better version of my Mkiib on one of your topics soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warmasterwillie Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Brilliant job on the landraider my fellow DG brother! Love the subtle chipping of the green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mehman Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Once I get a Land Raider for the plastic parts, it'll be game on. I plan on taking pictures for people to see how to assemble it. That and maybe to show off a little ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigami Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 I'm always bad at taking pictures of assembly. I get too excited and whirlwind it together. The thought of picking up a Fellblade has entered my mind and won't leave, so if I get one, I'll try to post a couple assembly pictures like an actual WIP log. Haha. In other news, still waiting for my darned bases. I picked up a cool magnetic flying widget for my raptor which is getting stripped to accommodate the widget and be more in line with my current scheme. Im still looking for a canopy for it.

Enigami Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 So I've got a big update today! After wiffing with one base company, I decided to order from my old favorite and was definitely pleased. I also managed to get a new kind of flying base for my raptor. Here are some photos of the new bases and dusting! http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/image_zpsfnkmyrrd.jpeghttp://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/image_zpsrwq53j95.jpeghttp://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/image_zpsy2divctr.jpeg I also received a Mkiv command set which allowed me to finally finish my command squad! Enjoy! http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/image_zpsod6profv.jpeghttp://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/image_zpsrmy9bbj9.jpeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col.hertford Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Gotta love the fire raptors. Those bases look very good! Not sure about the practicalities of riding a motor bike one handed holding a banner, but it sure looks good. Have you ordered the new transfers to finish him?

Machinepriest Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Amazing indeed! Looks like you've perfected the Forge World scheme, hmm? I would love to see some closer photos of that lovely Contemptor, if you wouldn't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avalon Force Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I love your work! I'm in a process of making pre-heresy Death guard as well, and would be much obliged if you'd take the time of explaning the process of painting the gritty white. Your Death guard really look excellent, bravo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigami Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Thanks for the compliments, everyone! I'll be posting new pictures of everything as they are newly based (Including some close ups of the contemptor). After all the basing is done, I'm wanting to go back and do some minor touch ups, seal them and call 'em good. @Avalon - The white is fairly simple. I don't have any particular kind I use except for the purest white I can find. I start by painting the entire model so that every color is finished besides the white. Then I seal my model with flat varnish. I let that dry for a while then I'll cover the entire model in odorless spirits. I'll create a mixture of burnt umber oil paint and odorless spirits that has a consistency slightly thicker than a gw wash. I then paint the wash on the model which is already covered in odorless spirits. (In cracks/around bolts/etc Next, let it dry. (I have found using a hair dryer helps give more precise grime in the end.) Finally, working in sections I apply spirits back to the model removing the umber from the spaces you don't. ( Q Tips are miracle workers here). You end up with grime around bolts and in cracks and a nice stain over the white. (You can even keep some surfaces completely white if your careful. Here are a couple shot of some newly based terminators (of all flavors!). http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/image_zpsxypydmln.jpeg http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv194/Enigami1990/image_zpslrlep0ng.jpeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bad Squig Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Well, I'm fresh outta likes, but I've got to say that I really like the simple realism you've achieved on your Death Guard. That crisp green is also very nice. Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
