Rusted Boltgun's WIP

[firestorm40k]

Great work @Rusted Boltgun! 

[Rusted Boltgun]

Updated my Kill Team storage. Box One -

 

 

I magnetised my Kommandos and my Phobos as they were loose in the old box. Couldn't fit the Phobos in because of the Stingwings so they have gone in what is now Box Two with my unfinished Fellgor Ravagers and Imperial Agents. 

 

I appear to be amassing unfinished projects so need to turn my attention back to getting them done.

 

Maybe one day I'll have both sides from a Kill Team box with appropriate terrain painted but who knows when that will be?!

I recently purchased some AP Fanatic paints 

 

Fiery Vermilion and Banshee Brown

 

 

and Death Metal on the metallic mechadendrites on these wee Skulls.

I have been working on my Deffkoptas and nearly got them fully basecoated and at the same time I have been assembling, priming and basecoating the Deff Dread from the Combat Patrol. 

 

I weirdly started with the base and some chopped up sprue to try and create some interest. These 60mm bases can be a bit dull with just a couple of feet on them (looking at you, Ballistus).

 

Tactical rubble in place, I have partially assembled the Dread

Deff Dredd progress. Lower arm is posed for the moment, will be attached once the body has been fully painted.

 

It is coming together, as are the koptas.

Colour being added

Really like the progress. I always had a soft spot for Ork walkers, I have some of the metal ones laying about. What's paint did you use for the metallic base coat? 

[Rusted Boltgun]

Thanks @sitnam that's Vallejo Game Colour Gunmetal, shaded with Sonic Sledgehammer 'Marine Juice'. It is the old formula gunmetal, I bought a few pots at the pint they revised the formula. I don't know whether the colour changed when it was reformulated.

I like it, it is a bit thick but makes for a relatively cheap metallic basecoat.

It kind of looks similar to the pics I've seen of GW Iron Warrior, though I've never used that paint

I'll try to remember to do a sprue test and we'll see if my phone can tell the difference!

Nearly finished the Deff Dread. I wanted a proper Orky banner but can't find my brass rod. Here it is anyway
