Gederas Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) Both the base and the mini are looking good! Might I suggest gluing it to the cork/painting support with a tiny bit of glue to the pin? It should not be too hard to break off if you are careful with the amount of glue used. Thanks! As to the pinning issue: He's got a pin in his right foot, which is what I have attached to a cork. He's spinning ON the wine cork as I try to paint him Edited December 16, 2019 by Gederas Elzender 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354279-gederas-heresy-shenanigans/page/3/#findComment-5447611 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elzender Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Thought so, my suggestion is for you to glue the pin to the cork, with just a little bit of glue. That way, the miniature should not spin anymore, but it should be easy enough to pull the mini out of the cork once you're done with it. If you don't want to touch at all the miniature after painting it to remove it from the cork, another option is to give it a bit longer pin, glue a part of it inside the cork, and then cut it when you're done painting, or simply to pull the miniature only from the pin. Do let me know if you try the latter method, as I have only ever used the first version I've mentioned a couple times, the variants I've just come up with them as I was writing .

MegaVolt87 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 If you are finding yellows annoying, work off a brown base, then successive layers. Then you can adjust the brightness of the yellow with glaze(s) of Agrax (non gloss). Black/ white are not great bases for yellow.

Hungry Nostraman Lizard Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Very nice! There's going to be three Iron Warrior players at a Heresy event i'm doing on the tail end of January soon, and for good reason! Great rules, and great aesthetic. Keep it up!

Gederas Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) Quick update: The eye lenses being painted adds a lot to them Nearing completion.... Should have them done tomorrow. All those tacticals are looking good, solid effort getting through that many bodies. Nice progress on Dreygur, too. Yeah.... I'm only doing this many because I got them all assembled from a friend. I've still got MORE to paint too.... Theres Just Something about seeing 20 legionaries ready to party...Also impressive Speed onnthese guys The secret is using Leadbelcher spray and Nuln Oil. Then it's just a drybrush of Leadbelcher/Ironbreaker to brighten it all up Very nice! There's going to be three Iron Warrior players at a Heresy event i'm doing on the tail end of January soon, and for good reason! Great rules, and great aesthetic. Keep it up! It's just a simple scheme, but so visually appealing because of it's simplicity. Plus, the bright yellow helps a lot.

Chaoself Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) Blue is a very good decision for the eyelenses on iron warriors, realy gives them some more colour.

Gederas Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 Nice and simple paint scheme that ticks all the boxes! Keep it up! BCC Thanks! And I will do so. Blue is a very good decision for the eyelenses on iron warriors, realy gives them some more colour. The blue is actually a funny story. I asked a friend how to make it subtly obvious that my Iron Warriors are Loyalists and his response was "give them blue eyes. Because everyone sees them with red eyes for the Chaos Marines. And since 'Blue is Heroic' and all that, it'll make it obvious without BEING obvious." So basically, any and all eye-lenses will be blue instead of red or green. In other news, I just got a payment agreement for painting some of my friend's Primaris (10 Incursors, 3 Suppressors and 3 Eliminators). He'll be getting me this laddy, NIB off of EBay: So my Iron Warriors will get a Siege Breaker in Cataphractii Terminator Armour(30k)/Captain in Cataphractii Terminator Armour(40k).

Gederas Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) The LE Praetor I'm using for my Siegebreaker (in Cataphractii Terminator Armour) came in last night There was next to no flaws on the model, there was only one major mold slip.... So OF COURSE it was on the segmented armour on the back of his leg :wallbash: There was some air bubbles on his thunder hammer too, but that's easily fixed.Also, managed to remove the Combi-Volkite from him to replace with either a Combi-Plasma or Combi-Melta (he's there to bring down buildings and vehicles, no anti-infantry combi-weapon!) safely, so now I can use it for.... other things (maybe casting it since that's the only cobi-volkite weapon iirc?)

Gederas Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) I think these will work nicely for the Phosphex Bombs Note: I know Siege Breakers can only take three and there's four there. I was lazy and didn't want to cut one of the little doo-dads from the DA Veterans kit in half . They're mainly also to cover up the fact that there's a slight gap in the lower area of his back and his waist Edited January 7, 2020 by Gederas Stix, Elzender, Pearson73 and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354279-gederas-heresy-shenanigans/page/3/#findComment-5457792 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gederas Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 That's a nice lord, just ordered one after seeing this. Right? I love the model, and was super hyped to see one on EBay for ONLY 45 bucks. Though, I had to wait far longer than necessary (because the listing was from a dude in Chelmsford, MA.... So about an hour and a half drive :lol:. It took a week instead with shipping) Those are spot on for phosphex and other more unusual weapons. That Praetor is such a nice sculpt, shame it's a limited edition release. Right? I think I saw someone using them on this forum, but it was in an archived thread with Photobucket's :cuss-ery. So I couldn't see exactly what items they were using. And it really is such a nice sculpt. What's worse is that's the only model with a Combi-Volkite Charger that's ever peen produced.... :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354279-gederas-heresy-shenanigans/page/3/#findComment-5458186 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson73 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Certainly an exciting delivery, can't beat the thrill of a box of FW goodies. The Death Guard Contemptor has to be one of the best chassis out there, really suits the IV aesthetic too.
