Parweke Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 okay, we are back in action. unfortunately im out of action, got a nasty cold... I made some progress during the time the site was down. received my missing leg piece from gw, got my magnets too. first he replacement ones arrived and then the original ones. they were missent to Canada and arrived to my address about 7 weeks after the dispatch date. I did put some of them on, reaver arms are tricky and I need a bigger drill to do them. also started the bases, painted couple of heads and bought second reaver thats about it, will post few pics soon good to be back :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350393-parwekes-at-plog-mortis-atarus/page/2/#findComment-5171793 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parweke Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 Thanks, I cant decide either so im going to paint a red one too and that is how I will tell them apart, the three warlords all will have differently coloured heads Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350393-parwekes-at-plog-mortis-atarus/page/2/#findComment-5171814 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendi Warrior Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Very nice. Are you magnetizing the heads? So you can swap them every time you want.

Parweke Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 Right, did some mistakes yesterday, trying to correct them today (might include some fist stripping) couldnt decide what red to use for the panels, went with scarlett red : bloody red 50:50 mix (vallejo game air paints) washed it with agrax and then a 3-4 thin layers of the red mix.... looks really bad...and too dark also sprayed all of the armour panels of the two warlords and one reaver black while still on the sprue but forgot to check if there were any moldlines was so angry at myself so I quit working. now im ready to try again. I think im going to use different red this time and strip the panels I painted last night. also used some masking tape to make stripes to the gun shields, those are so small so they will most likely look bad aswell. did some work with the bases, martian iron earth and washes, atleast they look okay, i guess :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350393-parwekes-at-plog-mortis-atarus/page/2/#findComment-5175867 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Sounds like like a lot of activity even if progress is erratic... When you get angry the best thing is to stop - keep working and things will always become worse... If you have any pics feel free to share. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350393-parwekes-at-plog-mortis-atarus/page/2/#findComment-5175878 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parweke Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 http://i.imgur.com/JmXvrWI.jpg now the red looks better, I tried to paint over the stripes but it just looks worse now. when the varnish is dry I will paint the stripes again. this time by hand mep:cusson red air is a crap paint. doesnt cover and dries to a very different tone of red. luckily the gloss varnish brings it back to a brighter red edit: reds tone might be somthing to do with the word bearers red I used as a base coat, it dries to a very light, cold brownish colour when airbrushed....

Captain Semper Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Looks OK to me... but if you’re not happy, these are relative easy pieces to strip. What is wrong with the stripes? They look fine to me... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350393-parwekes-at-plog-mortis-atarus/page/2/#findComment-5176112 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parweke Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 wrong colour and maskingtape I used was too thick... cant see it in the pic but red and black stripes have sort of raised edge.

Fajita Fan Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I’ve seen people sponge one of the colors along any ugly edges as if the top layer of paint has peeled off. Iron Warrior dozer blades come to mind.

Parweke Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 colour I use for the panel trims is bright brass (vallejo air) a very thin paint and needs many layers to cover the colour underneath... should I use some thicker metallic colour as a base layer? like retributor gold? or maybe leadbelcher?

Parweke Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 only small update today, sprayed warlords torso and weapons black (it was, and still is, nice weather outside) and started building my second Reaver (and noticed that the feet on the first one are on the opposite legs, D'oh!) http://i.imgur.com/AmtACgt.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350393-parwekes-at-plog-mortis-atarus/page/2/#findComment-5176629 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipOffProductions Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 yeah reaver legs seem to be tricky; the feet have spacific left/right placement, but the upper and lower legs are the same for both sides, with the difference being made in which way you place the two together(I know I put a leg together, went "oh crap I put this together as a left leg instead of a right", panicked, flipped it around before the glue set, then realized I had it the right way around the first time and swapped it back again.)

Fajita Fan Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Assembling Reaver legs is probably the worst part about AT. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350393-parwekes-at-plog-mortis-atarus/page/2/#findComment-5176830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
