Not got much done recently, but did manage a thing or two

 

Here's the Halftrack Chimeara, got bases & decals on weathering to do ...

 

Also as a last model of 2024 I kitbashed a new Son of Sek sniper on new years eve. I had a BSF dude without a front torso so ala Bonehead out came the clippers, on with a Cadian torso & blooded sniper bits left me with this:-

 

 

Im really pleased with this & I like this pose much better than the stock one, feels more dynamic ....

 

Here's a comparison:-

 

Thanks for looking!

[Bonehead]

Nice work. You're bang on there, dynamic is exactly the word I would have picked. He looks like he's just going for a risky shot out of a window. And the paint is up to your usual high standard. Love the chimera too, are those transfers a standard GW set? They really add a lot to it. And they'll look cool with some grime and maybe a touch of rust too.

Thanks, the transfers are from Mighty Brush & various release GW CSM transfer sheets. Still lots to do on this puppy.

Calling this one done ....

Nailed it

Yeah, that's really nice!

 

One thought for a future model, for the decals that are pieces of text, painting the square they are going to go on white (or similar) to make them look like posters glued to the tank rather than painted on it.  So, instead of fighting to hide the edges of the decals, using that edge to your advantage.

Good idea, the more I think about it the more  I like it!  I would probably go down the road of custom made decals printed on white transfer paper though.

 

As always, photos show niggles that you dont see i.e. I could have positioned the decals on the model better, they are not quite straight. I didn't go big on chaosification (is that a word?) because lore wise the Sons of Sek were trained by ex IG generals, therefore I assume that the kit will be as functional / clean as can be, barring a little graffitti.

As others have noted you really have captured the feel of a traitor APC. Those decals really tie it together nicely.

[Gnasher]

I'm currently umming & arrghing  about a chimeara, cant decide whether to make it pact or sons. I like painting sons more, but the pact army really needs more taxis for them.

 

It will be a Blood & Skulls conv kit whichever. I've done some test fitting of  the cuppolas from the Cargo 8 kit which I think will look top on a traitor APC. So "For the Gaur! Blood For the Blood God!" or "He Whose Voice Drowns Out All Others!" What do you peeps think?

 

Pact with Autogun?

 

Or Sons with Multi Laser?

 

 

I also have a couple of OOP sentinels, not sure if I do one each or both of one, thoughts?

 

[Dr_Ruminahui]

They both look great (though I do prefer the khornate one, visually, as the scuffed red paint job looks great on the model) so do whatever works best to give you the armies you want to have and, if you do such things, play.

 

Any particular reason you don't want to mix up the guns within a given faction and have, say both an autocannon and multilaser chimera for a given faction?

No reason apart from visual differentiation of faction, if I do pact I may even give it flamers, that would be khorney!

[kabaakaba]

Do you play with did army? Which codex you use?

[Tallarn Commander]

I’d say Blood Pact. But that’s only because I’m currently painting a Blood Pact Kill Team as part of the “Knives In the Shadows” painting event.

Look forward to seeing that! If you haven't already seen them Mad Robot do excellent heads for the pact.
