Dread Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 The ravenwing look great. I have one suggestion. With the great base a weathering, doing the exhaust ends with a black shading to show exhaust fumes would be the topping. Look great as they are tho.

That is something that I will probably go back to do at a later time. I've never really attempted exhaust weathering before. Anyone have any cool techniques? Think I should mix up some black /brown powders or just hit it quick with the airbrush? Off the top of my head what I think I would do is some black/brown powders, seal those in, and then some graphite powder rubbed on the sharpest edges to show metal poking through. Thoughts?

Beardbattered Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 A little bit more progress was made tonight. I assembled the rest of my Kataphrons minus the magnets and armor plating for painting purposes. I've got a decent little chunk of models set aside for the ETL now, if I'm able to participate. And my beautiful fiance surprised me with these bad boys yesterday, for the table I plan on putting together after the wedding! Speaking of which, I'm trying to think of some unique ideas on how to paint my buildings and fortifications for the table. I will be using these pieces along with a Fortress of Redemption, some scratch built hills and rock formations and possibly some of GW's trenchwork kits. All of this will be on the new Forges of Mars mat from Gamemat.eu to match both my Admech and my Dark Angels. So, let me know if you guys think of any cool ideas! You know I like to take the path less traveled when it comes to paint schemes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoGuy Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Great to see you making progress buddy! What weapon profiles do the Vengeance Battery weapons have? I have seen that they cost 200 points so I imagine that the must be pretty powerful. Are they worth their points tough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardbattered Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 They are pretty decent. In most games I think we'll just be using them as cool looking terrain since most of our group is still learning the rules. Maybe later we'll use them as capturable forts in narrative games.

Beardbattered Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 Preliminary work for the ETL continues. Everything that is going to be vowed is now assembled and ready for primer. I'm going to use the ETL as a vehicle to get my admech finished in time for an event that is being held over Memorial day weekend. So things are going to be fast and furious! Since we have a few days until vows are made, I'm going to finish everything that is too far along to vow. Four vanguard and a Dunecrawler, so I think that should be doable. The vanguard are almost ready for decals and weathering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardbattered Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 Thank you for the kind words everyone! It means a lot. Tonight and tomorrow I'm going to try to get as much done on the Onager as I can. On this one I think I'm going to try a white stripe down the front of it with a raven decal on top. If it looks good I may go back and do it to my finished one as well. Stay tuned for more updates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardbattered Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 Quick update! I went back and fixed the darn osl that I forgot and got a start on the metals for the Onager. I'm hoping to get the Crawler close to finished tomorrow morning. Thanks for all of the feedback guys, it's does wonders to keep me motivated.

WarriorFish Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I already have, but I'm planning to start properly later this year. Sadly these WIP topics are making that difficult. I'll be working on my Knight for the ETL though, so I should get my fix that way ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 The Omnissiah works in mysterious ways, as I spent most of today getting my Knight up to speed. She's about ready for painting now, you can follow the topic from my sig but here's the latest :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardbattered Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Real quick update while the base is drying on the Onager. Once it's dry the base just needs a quick drybrush highlight and a bit of shade here and there through the airbrush. Then it's onto the final weathering and OSL. No sleep til this is finished!!! Also, which look do you prefer? The Decaled one or the one without? I might go back and add the same decals to the old one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardbattered Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 And after a bunch of interruptions it is finally done! There are some areas that will need to be touched up later, but he's ready for the table. All in all I am very happy with the way it's turned out. I'm thinking I might go back and add the decals to my previous Onager to make them match. What do you guys think? Now, on to the ETL!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 The white and black really top the model off with the weathering, excellent work :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Man I love how well you blend the iconography into the paint scheme! Though I'm a little surprised you didn't bore out your stubber barrels . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
