Wulf Vengis Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) I'm going to use this thread as general spot to place my Craftworld project as it unfolds. For now though here's a little glimpse of the next unit I'm refurbishing.

Wulf Vengis Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) Here we go... The first of my classic Striking scorpions to get painted.

Wulf Vengis Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) Posting this while it's on my mind. Â I found that gloss primer had better results on the individual models (Fuegan and two Fire Dragons) than the matte primer. I primedthe rest of the unit in the matte black instead of gloss. That said however the effect came our just fine on the Wave Serpent despite being primed in matte black.

Wulf Vengis Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) Some better pictures of the first striking scorpion. Natural light makes a serious difference. A WIP pics of three more striking scorpions. For some reason this session have me major headache and nothing is seeing to dampen that so hopefully I'll get some work done tonight. No rush after all.

Wulf Vengis Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 https://artelw.com/Flaming-Drakes-Squad-male-warriors-p144581422 https://artelw.com/Flaming-Drakes-Squad-female-warriors-p144581603 https://artelw.com/Flaming-Drake-Prime-p144581582 Â So... I've been surprisingly busy since my last update and haven't found much time to paint (although some of that is on me for losing the itch). However i haven't been totally out of the system as it were, I've been picking up different models and other bits and bobs for my collection (and possibly future display and table). Tonight I ordered my Flaming Drakes from Artel W (along with a few other things to get that sweet, sweet free shipping). My resolution for the upcoming new year is to finish setting up a workspace and paint the hell out of some grey plastic and resin (maybe even dive into an air brush). When these eventually arrive I'll post plenty of pics and order the paints for them. I've been wanting these models for a few years now, I'm really looking forward to having them at hand.

Wulf Vengis Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) I got lovely package today. From Russia, with love. Sealed for purity. I'll be doing some gluing over the next few nights (starting Saturday) then next week I'll order some more gloss primer and the necessary burning gold paint from greenstuff world. So another few weeks before anything beyond gluing happens. However a project of love should not be rushed.

Wulf Vengis Posted February 7, 2021 Author Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) A screech pierced the smoke clogged red sky above the battlefield. The wolves of grey watched the flaming golden speck sweep towards the ground in the distance. It shimmered and glittered and blurred as it screamed its way through the forces of the huskaerl. Its breath, like solar fire added scar after scar of acrid smoke to the already dying red sky. Serpent, they cried as it sliced through their ranks. The Dragons Harbinger had arrived. The Dragon would soon be upon them... EDIT: Forgot the primer.

Wulf Vengis Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) The primer I'll be using this time. Also, I ordered myself an Avatar proxy since i painted an Avatar in a matching scheme last time. The model is designed by Ghamak and printed at 120mm so stands just under 4 3/4 (four and three-quarters) inches tall.

Rebel_40k Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 That Avatar Proxy looks excellent. Please post updates with pictures when you've assembled it! I would be interested in one too. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359491-craftworld-malushey/page/3/#findComment-5667516 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wulf Vengis Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 Ok update time, small but significant. Â Two jars of "Burning Gold" arrived today from Green Stuff World. This makes me happy. However i still need my Amazon order of nice weather to arrive. Its impossible to prime models in this New York winter wasteland and i don't have a place setup in the house for that kind of thing anymore. I could go out to the shed but again, it's blisteringly cold and there's currently a lawn mower in the way. I suppose i could do it at work but I'm not sure of the safety of the models in a place filled with dusts and looky-loos who don't speak the local dialect so fluently. So to close, now like the Aeldari i wait.

Wulf Vengis Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 So a couple of quick size comparisons. Nothing is glued so careful photos. I don't think i need to explain what is going on here. I will however explain that used comparison pics of the old Forge World Avatar to guesstimate the size when i ordered this. I have to say that at the moment I'm quite pleased but only upon completion will i know for sure.

Rebel_40k Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Wow that Avatar is huge, didn't expect that. How's the detail/quality? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/359491-craftworld-malushey/page/3/#findComment-5675142 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulf Vengis Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 The size: When i ordered it i had to select from size options. As stated i ordered it closer to the forgeworld height based on pictures of it (fw avatar) next to og space marines. If it turns out to be too big, I'll happily order another at shorter height. Â The detail: Ok, this one's a little tough. I tried for a while last night to get some good shots of the skin and armor but just Couldn't get clear enough photos. There could be a list of reasons why but i assume it was based on the model being the same solid grey color. In person the detail is incredible, the skin has a very cracked molten surface look while the armor has these calligraphy like swirls adorning it. It's all very "elf" looking. I haven't yet noticed any spots of muddied or blurry/smooshed detail. Â I'm going to try and get some pics on black background as it may help absorb some of the excess light and allow more clarity in the detail. Â It's all very heavy too, and the parts were packaged immaculately. Divided into 7 pieces (head and hair, torso and right arm, legs, left hand and sword, back ornamentation and finally the base). Each specially placed strategically within the box to allow for maximum protection and still leave room for the rest. The back ornamentation was even in a separate specialized cardboard mini-box to ensure its safe arrival. Â More photos coming later.
