Thanks mate! I’ve not managed to get anything done today but I’ll continue with him tomorrow. I’m also thinking about giving the consuls a stripping and reapplying the basecoat with an airbrush as I think airbrushed basecoats look fantastic. But that is a fair way off yet if I do.

[Axineton]

Not done much this week as I've had an abcess in my mouth and it's caused me no end of pain but I've had that sorted now. Anyway here's where I am right now with the Lt:

 

 

Gonna try and get him finished on Saturday and then move onto the next thing in my neverending part painted cue. 

[Axineton]

So I stripped this Rhino this morning with biostrip 20. It was originally primed white with corax white and it's been on my shelf for months and was going to be for my White Consuls project but I've decided to do it in Ultramarines colours. So I've primed it with Vallejo black and will need to let it dry and cure for 24hrs.

 

 

I'll get the Ultramarine game air paint on it tomorrow night.

[Axineton]

Got one basecoat airbrushed on tonight so here's the result so far:

 

 

I'll try and get the next coat on during the week if I get time. All hints and tips are more than welcome.

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

I’m digging the Lieutenant !

[Axineton]

Thanks guys I'll get back on these over the next few days hopefully

Just an update. I've ordered a sheet of White Consuls decals from https://www.chaptercustomizer.com/chapter-4/ was very tempted to order the Rainbow warriors ones as well but held back lol!! So in the new year I'll definitely be doing the White Consuls again. Cannot wait!!

[Marcus Arias]

Just checked out that website, what's the shipping like to the UK? Can you update with quality when you get them?

Shipping was $13 but altogether I paid £20 for decals and shipping mate.

 

And yep I’ll update with the quality once I’ve tried them out.

Right I have a question. I have two boxes of assault marines with jump packs so I can make a squad of 10. Do I put the jump packs on or leave them off is the question?

[Axineton]

Got another 3 of the space marine heroes. I've assembled 2 of them tonight but not glued them yet. I've added mk6 helmets to these 2 because I really love mk6 beakies!! Anyway these are gonna be going into a tac squad of White Consuls after christmas when I make a start on them.

 

[Axineton]

White Consuls decals have turned up today. Not bad just under 4 weeks to arrive from the USA and a great price too. Gonna start using them tomorrow if I get time.

 

[Axineton]

Done a test  shoulder pad today and think it don't look to bad.

 

 

Can anyone give me any hints on how to do battle damage on white armour? What paints or colours to use?

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

I would google battle damage - there are different methods and some are better for white armor.

As long as your armour isnt pure white it's easy enough.

 

Best results are doing say Ulthuan Grey as your main colour and then adding scratch lines with White Scar & Maybe something like Vallejo Armour Brown (Airbrush version).

[Axineton]

Ulthuan grey is the colour of my armour though so it wouldn’t show up would it?

If your armour is Ulthuan grey then do the scratches with white Scar, alongside a dark brown.

 

So if you put them side by side it looks like this:

That's on ushabti bone but the effect is more subtle on Ulthuan grey

[Axineton]

Ok I’ll give that a go. Cheers mate

Not had any time for hobbying on the building an dpainting side this week apart from this shoulder pad I've been working on. Small and not much to report, but I did paint the 3rd company colours in wazdakka red the a thin edge highlight of squig orange that is hardly noticeable. For the recess shade I used a micron 0005 pen just to see what it'd look like and it's not bad. Not sure if I'll use the pen or use nuln oil for the recesses. I'm pretty rubbish on shoulder pads for the recesses but on the rest of the minis I'm not bad. Not a clue why that is.

 

[Axineton]

Started on Grotsmashas year of hobby challenge this morning with these little beauties but messed up the marine on the far left of the picture. I put the wrong chest armour on him! He should have straps on the front like the rest. Not sure if I should attempt to greenstuff it or just leave it. I've never used greenstuff before either.

 

Waiting on some stylnyrez primer to arrive as well. Fed up with the 24hr drying time of vallejo primer.

 

[Axineton]

Looking a bit rough round the edges but a bit of progress. Primed them yesterday with stynylrez primer that only takes about 10 mins from airbrush to miniature to dry and then went with two basecoats of Ulthuan grey. And the shoulder pads and Sergeants helmet are Wazzdakka red. I'll do a bit more later if I get time.

 

 

For recesses shall I use nuln oil, Agrax earthshade or a micron pen???
