duz_ Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 Nice work! that Sgt is hella cool shapeway pad ?!... i'm going to wait till the decals come out in the sprue pack (fingers crossed) Cheers, Mithril ++EDIT++ Russ grey is my vote .. No I believe its a Mk4 FW shoulder pad looks pretty close to the Mk10 one :D Hopefully the new upgrade sprue gives us more Mk8/10 ones because the shapeways ones aren't what they used to be now GW got wind of them... :( SCV I think I'm starting to develop a twitch from it :lol: :sweat: I'm managing 1 an evening still... 3 down 2 to go then a few final details :D Might do the anniversary LT next :tu: Hopefully my warsuits show up in the next day or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Oh my bad i never ever buy FW so i wouldn't know the difference... i can't wait to see the Sarge painted up though ... Mithril duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 Finished! :D Next up LT hopefully hell be a bit quicker :sweat: Unfortunately Mithril that Sgt is way down the list I don't have any lists with intercessors in atm... I am contemplating a heavy firepower one he could feature in that one? Xenohammer, MithrilForge and Shadow Captain Vyper 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 The Reivers are well-painted. How will you decorate their bases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 Thx Bjorn, I'll be using bases like my Mordians Hopefully I have some pre prepared and easily accessible somewhere... :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 Hot on the heels of the Reivers anniversary LT is up next :D Meanwhile my wallet preps for a painful weekend... :D Xenohammer and Shadow Captain Vyper 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewarriorhunter Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 At some point I think I'm going to have to try and get some of these limited release models... Looking good so far. duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfdeltafoxtrot Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 You've got way more patience than me for edge highlighting! Those Reivers are great, and that's a good start on the Lt. I've just finished mine and he was a joy to paint. Actually, I've found all the Primaris I've done so far very satisfying.

duz_ Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 Finished my first warsuit :D Already a good chunk through my second too :) Thanks to seridales advice and the struggle of my friend trying to do it an alternate way was able to easily magnetise the arms. Might even use the same method on my 2nd redemptor. Here's a quick break down of how I did it. The one thing which a picture couldn't show was that I used the original hollow pins as a guide to drill a pilot hole before shaving them off (which is what the first pic is) from there it's just placing magnets. I used 3mm magnets which required the gun slots to be slightly drilled out the next sized down in imperial might have fit without drilling Dracos 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewarriorhunter Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Looks straightforward. So will the halves of the gun be assembled and then slide into the elbow joint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 Yup put a magnet in both sides of the weapon and then assemble the weapons per the instructions (I waited a little bit to make sure the super glue was set so the magnets didn't pull each other out of their sockets) The mounting pin slots in and out of the weapons without any obstruction So the only clipping that is required is the pivots on the larger pin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewarriorhunter Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 That sounds like how I did the weapons for my drop pod. Pretty straightforward then. duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 Yeh was one of the easier ones I've done in a while :D Torso was a little trickier but mainly due to the size of magnets I had available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracos Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Beauty layout on the magnets. Man I hate the stubbers. Give me good old Stormbolters on Marine vehicles anyday. I really like the capped pintle mounted new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Man I hate the stubbers. Give me good old Stormbolters on Marine vehicles anyday. I'd rather have a pintle-mounted heavy bolter, which easily matches a heavy stubber's range, while sharing ammunition commonality with other weapons in a Chapter's armory.

duz_ Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 I'm indifferent on the stubbers rule wise storm bolters would have been nice but I don't mind the aesthetic Finished my second warsuit last night :D Pre orders for our goodies today too! :) Shadow Captain Vyper and Dracos 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewarriorhunter Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 How is it modeling the gun in hand? Are there to hands in the kit or do the fingers articulate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 The pistol hand is already monopose and you just attach it to the bolter body (otherwise there just a pistol grip that goes on) If you want the empty hand there's 4 fingers that you can pose although it's a bit of a pain because the contact points aren't the greatest Model is fun to build but has a lot of components Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 Slightly distracted by some non RG stuff this weekend (might share later what it is...) however back on the bandwagon now! Just highlights and details left to go! Need to break out my airbrush soon..

Bjorn Firewalker Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 The model is beautifully painted, but why are his arms white? Is that an honor marking the Raven Guard's Indomitus Crusade veterans adopted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Race Bannon Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Duuuuuuuuuuude that is practically perfect. Except for the base. For shame :P duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 All my officers wear white arms of the 1st company Perhaps this LT also crossed the rubicon with Shrike? Thx the white is slightly chalky but not too bad and possibly because of the white scar dry brush I attempted. Celestial grey + ulthuan grey ftw! Next time I should just spot wash then do all of the white... :sweat: The base is temporary while I paint it. It will eventually be a resin one... ;) Race Bannon 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duz_ Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 The skin tone is spot on, good job! Thanks! I've been toying around with the recipe of late I can't remember what the formula was for my Reivers though... :ermm: This was 2 parts ulthuan 1 part pallid Wych flesh and then washed with a almost 1:1 drakenhof and flesh tone with some medium in there too Could possibly add a bit more blue to the wash I think this skin tone would work better when it's not right next to white :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
