Your 3d printer print very well! Can I ask you which is the model?

It's a Tevo Tarantula. One of the cheapest i could find with a metal frame. It comes as a kit so you have to assemble it and do the wiring yourself. Took about a day to do that then a few weeks of tinkering with it and doing some after market upgrades like printing brackets to stiffen the frame and a part cooling fan which is a must have for printing with PLA.

Literally printing awesome! They look really great! I wonder If you could print Catholic Mary Statues, to make your board more Religious looking? 

I was thinking I'm going to print about a table and a half worth of industrial terrain, so I can fight for a shipping yard or a power plant / industrial complex. I have been thinking though that I really do have to get my girls sorted out with some sort of holy site or convent worthy of being the my Sisters' home turf.

Testing out how I'm going to weather/rust these containers. 

 

Mixed a bit of mournfang brown with a touch of mephiston red and dabbed it on with a heavy drybrush. Then added in a bit of averland sunset to the mix to lighten it up slightly and dabbed it on with a drybrush a bit lighter.

Hit the whole thing with a homemade wash, an empty bottle of abaddon black filled with acrylic thinner and thoroughly shaken, it ended up reasonably close to null oil and was a damn sight cheaper considering how much i'm going to need to use.

Finally hit the whole thing with a light drybrush of runefang steel (although i kinda messed up as the wash wasn't quite dry, but that's ok considering it's just terrain.)

 

Pretty happy with how it's turned out.

Faffed around with rusting up the cast bronze boxes the past couple days. Same drill as the cast iron boxes but with a different colour pallet for the rust because bronze/copper rusts a kinda cyanish colour.

First box (test box) done. I went a little to heavy on the dry brush so this one is just 'lightly rusted'.

Same box different angle/lighting.

Next two boxes i decided to go a lot heavier on the rusting, they're pretty much covered... This is them after rust and wash.

And here they are after a much lighter dry dry brush than the first.

The fruits of today's labor 6 more boxes done.

Taking advantage of good priming weather. Sprayed 3 metal boxes and 3 blue boxes.

Bit of wear and tear, some paint chipping and some corrosion. Tried out some typhus corrosion and I think I've messed it up... It'll do for terrain but i think for the next bunch of boxes i'll just stick with chipping and refrain from using the technical paint.

Got all 30 barrels finished, Primed 3 more containers in red. Ran out of acrylic thinner and tried to use water, just doesn't work the same so i'm going to have to pick up more thinner and re-wash the red boxes. 

 

I'm approaching a viable amount of terrain now so I couldn't help myself but to setup a 4x4 and get an idea of how this table is going to look when it's done. Couldn't help but add some 'atmospheric effects'.

Been a while since I last did a hobby update. Gonna start off by posting some porn!

Big bag of goodies!

1 Squad of seraphim, 4 Ladies with storm bolters and 5 Ladies with flamers.

 

 

 

Moving on... Did another terrain project to add some area terrain to my table.

All the bits.

Mid way on the build/paint.

All done but it looks a little bare.

Classy photo of the finished product with some extra scatter.

Taking a wee break away from hobby work at the moment, thought I'd post what I've done so far.

Gonna convert me some of them there Inferno Pistols. Had a rummage around the bits box at my FLGS and picked up a few Melta Guns to hack up.

Cutting the clip and barrel off of the bolt pistol then cutting the barrel and side bit off of the melta gun and transplanting them onto the bolt pistol.

First pistol post transplant. looks alright. should look better once it's painted up. 3 more to go.

Transplants all done and the squad is now on bases along with my four odd girls from ebay. Just waiting for the glue to dry before gap filling with milliput and leaving it to set overnight.

Got the squad primed and based in black. Even for this simple task i feel an airbrush was my single best hobby investment. Trying out something new with the airbrush for the cloth areas, aiming for black at the top blended into red at the bottom through a layer of dark brown. This is first test model, I kinda like the outcome but I want the red to pop more at the bottom.

This Weekend's progress. Just about finished all of the major stuff. Converted Inferno Pistols tucked in behind the Superior, just in case folk were wondering about how they're turning out.
