I'm geussing alot.

 

Actually its pretty light.  Printing allowed me to hollow out the Treads and command deck.  It weighs just under 3lbs by my reckoning.  Which matches with the amount of resin it took ~1.5 Bottles.

 

Been spending some time getting my second veteran squad done for my NLs, along with a terminators command squad among a few other bits. Im down to the fiddly details and tidying stage but wanted to share some pics.

New guy painted for my army. This is a second hand Techmarine. It came half painted but some of the colour was gone, so I "restaured" it and finished painting. Maybe tomorrow I'll add mote details or I leave it like this...

ive got one of this era's techmarines in my white scars and they are TINY 

 

progress on NLs is slow. Plasma coils are not my strong point at all.

Tiny...but gorgeous. I only want to have one of the 2nd edition models 

Today I took the plunge and tried out oils for the first time.  Wow!  I can’t believe I was intimidated by them for so long!

 

I’ve been really inspired by this image of a Red Butcher from the black books for a long time.  Decided to use my experiments today to try and replicate it.  
 

I'm not thrilled with the red or the metallics on this guy, but I have ideas for improving for future iterations.  
 

Sponging blood paints over contrast medium results in some VERY cool effects, though I think I went a touch overboard on this guy.

Revised the scheme a bit.   I switched reds from Army Painter Speed Paint to GW contrast.   Much much happier with the result.  I also used Vallejo liquid gold this time around.   I worked most of the details into the model before i did the varnishes and they feel a lot more cohesive.  
 

I did 3 levels of blood splatter, left being lightest, right being the heaviest.   I’m toying around with snow bases for more blood fun.

Looking good, I experimented a bit with my blood effects with the XIIth. I found on metallic and darker surfaces it looked good, but on the white, there wasn’t quite enough tonal variation in the red. I found adding a bit of black (in the form of Tamiya smoke clear) darkened the effect a little. Using it he mix sparingly in  areas and the straight effect in other areas really added more variation and realism.

Latest WIP from my dirty airbrush booth. Mostly completed other than some more track weathering and a final varnish. Should probably find the sponsons as well...

Looks great!
I might go and hide my Proteus now in disgust! :laugh:

Tried out the chipping and oils on some Ultramarines.   So awesome, but now I have 40,000pts of Ultramarines that need to be updated….

 

Did a Champion and Librarian kitted out to join my Suzerains.   I’ve got the Praetor/Delegatus still to paint.

Army is basically finished for Adepticon. No more work needed. Decals on vehicles unfortunately got fogged from clear spray :( still, 3000 pt army painted in 3 months (assembly pushes it to 5 months). Pretty happy with results.

Where's that last marine from? With the fur collar.

It's actually the same model as the champion, the designer included versions with and without the fur and the cape!  The Designer is Diverging Realms, this was one of his legion agnostic character series.
