dijital_llama Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Over christmas I got bought an almost entire army. This has now tied in nicely with the start of the LPC so my pledge is to complete 5 palladins, 5 strike squad members and a dreadknight. Although I am seriously thinking of including my stormraven into this as well! So without further ado here's my rather boring progress so far (it will get more interesting soon!) I've also settled on how I'm going to base these- And this is my blu-tacked progress putting them together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olgerth Istaarn Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 That looks like a pretty solid beginning. I like these bases. Let's see more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dijital_llama Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Cheers for the encouragement so far everyone, much appreciated. I've made a bit more progress over the past couple of days, getting the strike squad and the dreadknight primed. Can't decide what I want to start painting first. Maybe the hammer dude?

dijital_llama Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 So after a couple of weeks of square-basing I got round to doing some work on my pledge. The result was this chap. My usual technique is to drybrush highlights quickly but I decided to push the boat out with this one and actually paint them on! Works already begun on the 2nd member of the squad.

dijital_llama Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 I got the second member of the Strike Squad finished the other day, was slightly faster than the first and work is under way on the third. Still unsure whether I'm going to be done with all 11 models in time to complete the challenge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulkan454 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Very nice work, i really like your attention to detail. The base is great as well, keep it going, Vulkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dijital_llama Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 @Stuka06, thanks mate! @Vulkan454, Glad the time it takes to apply that attention is paying off! The bases are from a local company called Model Display Products. Will hopefully have another one finished in the next day or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dijital_llama Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 Another week and another update. This time I managed to speed up my painting process and got 2 chaps finished. Let me know what you think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulkan He'Dan Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Look amazing, the Emperor will truly watch over them in battle brother; how did you do the metallics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dijital_llama Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 Thanks mate! The metallics are a basecoat of Boltgun Metal then an all over wash of Badab Black. After that it's a light drybrush with Chainmail. Next it's an Asurmen Blue wash in all the recesses and finally a fine edge highlight of mithril silver. It's the first time I've ever done anything more complicated than basecoat>wash>drybrush highlight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dijital_llama Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Further progress was made late last week with the final member of the Strike squad getting finished. That makes 5/11 parts of my LPC completed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Just seen this but have to say you've done a cracking job on these guys. The red really pops against the metal, fantastic stuff! :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Bravo!! Congrats on the first squad. they look really well done and cohesive,i especially like the exhaust vents in color(gives me an idea when i get round to my army :) ) i will say this...they look cool but never equip the falchions :) unless your going for cool ^_^ then no probs. keep up the good work!! cheers mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dijital_llama Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 @Doghouse - Thanks a lot dude, glad you like the red, really wasn't too sure what to do with it! @Mithrilforge - That's awesome that you liked the painting the backpacks differently. I've not really looked into actually playing with them yet. I made my list based on whhat looked cool and what gave the biggest variety in equipment and wargear.
