Swan-of-War Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 Green Castellan Green 1/2 Castellan Green, 1/2 Death World Forest Death World Forest 2/3 Death World Forest, 1/3 Menoth White Highlight (P3 paint) I don't drybrush but do something in-between (sorry, I'm not up with the technical terms). For these, I took a small, flatter head brush and loaded it very lightly. Just lightly brush the raised parts and smear with your finger if it goes on too heavy. I don't really drybrush - ends up too chalky - this way is pretty fast for me Vel'Cona and Steerpike_ 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332027-maschinen-krieger-skitariicult-mech/page/3/#findComment-4787531 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swan-of-War Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 Adding a Militarum Tempestus detachment to the mix. Just waiting on the chunky tire conversion to show up. Think I'll go back and add some streaks to the brown section too. And build some Scions too, of course. http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb217/Mospaeda/IMG_3484_zpsgduwlnjd.jpg http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb217/Mospaeda/IMG_3485_zpsmznsxwpu.jpg Vel'Cona, MithrilForge and Magos Takatus 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332027-maschinen-krieger-skitariicult-mech/page/3/#findComment-4797490 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Takatus Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 This is looking promising. I thought Scions would look good allied to Skitarii, looks like you're going to show us soon. I'm looking forward to seeing the tire mod for the Taurox too. :) Swan-of-War 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332027-maschinen-krieger-skitariicult-mech/page/3/#findComment-4797517 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vel'Cona Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Hey, I got some of those for my MT, too! Can't wait to see pics of it finished up. +1 for the Secret Weapon, though you'll want to be careful to match it up with your overall basing schema. :) Swan-of-War 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332027-maschinen-krieger-skitariicult-mech/page/3/#findComment-4800719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swan-of-War Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 So I had what I thought was a cool idea. Converting scions with electro priest backpacks and cuffs. Was going to call them Volt Throwers. I tried converting them this morning and yeah, didn't work out . Arms were too wonky and didn't line up with the cuffs.back to the lab..

Vel'Cona Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 That is a pretty sweet idea! Maybe try cutting and gluing the hands to the existing arms? You could use some wire to link the backpacks to the zappy hands with a bit of pinning/putty work.

Swan-of-War Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 I cut the arms at the elbow and lined up the shapes pretty well - its just where the shoulderpad hits the torso that leaves a big gap and looks awkward. Would have to fiddle with the backpack a lot too to get good contact with the back and also make the arms look natural.

MithrilForge Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 That is a shame, it sounded real Rad .... got any WiP shots for us to see and try and do a think tank on this awesome idea! Looking Fwd to the wheels, At the moment it kinda looks like some 40k car thieves put your vehicle up on blocks and stole the sweet rims Cheers, Mithril Swan-of-War and Vel'Cona 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332027-maschinen-krieger-skitariicult-mech/page/3/#findComment-4801565 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I know I'm psyched to see what the Taurox wheels look like with SoW's unique paint scheme. I almost went for the half-track style conversion kit for mine but I thought it a bit "on the nose", as it were.
