Stobz'n'Sons' Mini Titans: Atarus vs. Krytos

[Interrogator Stobz]

Thanks Brother, if it wasn't for my nemesis Real Life I could have done more than plugging, but that's life.

 

:D

[schoon]

They're built and they have paint on them, which is more than many can say.

 

I'm going to call that a win!

[Interrogator Stobz]

Yep, they get the odd game in too 

 

We're having another lock down here so making better progress than under normal real life conditions. Make Hay while the sun shines as they say.

Luckily the weather has been bad here, got more progress done, not quite to what I wanted but the trim demanded nuln, agrax and sepia washes in order to be the old gold I wanted for these guys and that took ages.

 

Only banners, weapons and weathering to go now (bases excuded).

[schoon]

You're a painting machine! Well done.

[Interrogator Stobz]

Groin Banners, weapon effects and eyes done; only transfers, battle damage and bases to go then it's Household complete:

[Lord_Borak]

A Really nice looking Force. You're making me want to get my Knight force done. 

[Interrogator Stobz]

Just do it Brother, it's a fair bit of work but totally worth it.

And with 15 minute painting sessions they almost paint themselves ;)

[Mandragola]

Agreed. It does make me want to get my own knights done too. They're languishing in various states that can't really be described as "in progress". So many other projects to do!

[Interrogator Stobz]

Hi Brothers, after a bit of a hobby break due to real life I've managed to glue together and paint a bunch of terrain, the smaller stuff and silver industrial stuff are still WIPs but it feels great to get back on the hobby horse. Hopefully I can get the WIPs finished this weekend.....

 

 

....Hopefully :D

[Mandragola]

Nice. It looks like you've got a table's worth of terrain there. Good job.

 

Last night I sprayed a few of my own buildings. Went through pretty much a whole can of Grey Seer, and now I'm a bit concerned I won't have enough basilicanum grey. Luckily there's plenty of other stuff I can paint if I run out!

[Sword Brother Adelard]

Those are all great size buildings. And a decent spread.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Good job.

[Interrogator Stobz]

Thanks heaps guys, I was really daunted by the mizzilion windows; but bulk painting them and not worrying about details seems to have done the trick.

The blue wash hides the internal errors and the final drybrush of the walls hides the external ones.

Any recommendations for the industrial paint scheme?

[Mandragola]

The blue windows are cool. I've just put gloss nuln oil in mine.

 

I'm not sure how to do industrial stuff either. I think I'll follow how it looks in 40k, so basically paint a random colour and then apply loads of Typhus Corrosion. You can create quite good effects with that by putting on too much and then wiping it off downwards, creating streaks. Or you could spend a bit more time doing it properly with a brush for a marginally better effect.

[Interrogator Stobz]

Thanks for the advice, I may give that a trial next weekend.

Unfortunately no hobby this week as I have an out of town funeral to attend until Friday.

[Sword Brother Adelard]

I used contrast over leadbelcher on a lot of the mechanicum stuff.

[Interrogator Stobz]

Yay, managed to get some hobby in over the last couple of weeks. 

Whilst he's not finished, still has transfers, weathering and basing to go I'm pretty happy with the progress so far.

He can join his team on the table now at least without looking like an intruder.

 

:D

[Mandragola]

Nice. It must be a great moment to get the armour plates on a Warmaster and have the thing stand up. Mine still has its armour on the sprue, where I intend to paint it. One day...

[Interrogator Stobz]

Yeah the panels and trim are a hell of a daunting task, but 15 minute armies paint themselves as they say. 

[Sword Brother Adelard]

For me the most daunting moment is always the one where you have all of the panels laid out, ready to start the trim. That moment was truly intimidating. But, once you start it's like eating an Elephant: One bite at a time.

[Interrogator Stobz]

Hell yeah, one bite at a time is right. Feels more like a nibble though 

[Interrogator Stobz]

My son and I felt keen to roll some dice this wet afternoon but by the time we'd set up he was feeling a bit unwell so we didn't play.

We used the excuse of having toys out to do a quick setup of all the painted dudes and terrain we have.

From the other side:

Still have some basing to do and there is a couple of Warlords, a Reaver, an Asterius Acastus Knight and three Armigers to go.

Hobby for the hobby Gods!

[Mandragola]

That’s an impressive collection. Great stuff. 

[Interrogator Stobz]

Thanks Brother. Whilst the momentum has slowed a fair bit due to RL, there is still some work being done on this project
