Chaeron Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 So, are you labeling the cases, or just relying on the subconscious 'well, I remember putting that in a case in this part of the room somewhere...' method? Dragonlover I'm now making a concious effort to label. I had eleven of these new cases, and wanted to store lots of things (different armies, etc. - some fit in just one, others span significantly more...!) - and thought it would be fine.... until I remembered they all look the same and that I really won't actively remember. Intention is to transfer stuff from other cases into the new ones, so that I can have a couple for infantry, heavy infantry, vehicles etc... I've got four or five Daemon Princes and two Helbrutes to go into a pick and pluck soon. It is slow going remembering where I'd put half of the stuff before though :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonlover Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 This is why I'm attempting a one case, one army strategy. The new GW ones may just save me here, my Alpha Legion case doesn't have room for a Fire Raptor, and that's frankly criminal. Dragonlover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infyrana Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Here we go ! Great progress ... I notice that you picked the Sicaran's first ;) I totally don't blame you, awesome looking tanks. It's interesting to see where everyone puts the lines... I am as yet still unsure for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Looking Good !!!!:tu: Thanks bud! Here we go ! Great progress ... I notice that you picked the Sicaran's first ;) I totally don't blame you, awesome looking tanks. It's interesting to see where everyone puts the lines... I am as yet still unsure for mine. It was hard not to! The choice was one that I agonized over: in terms of how I paint, I felt that it would work well to break the off-white at that point and add a good contrast for the model on the whole. Hope you like it! I consulted many people and looked at a lot of photos first though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Progress tonight: Tracks nearly done - all painted (and the crevices...), a light drybrush before further weathering over the coming days. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c254/TheNewAgeOutlaw/GW/SicaranTracks_zpsvlduffrb.jpg They do look like tanks now though! Then, on the lovely Kromlech Daemon Princes, I managed to finish off my pot of yellow, momentous and worthy of being in the photo. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c254/TheNewAgeOutlaw/GW/DaemonPrinces_zpskbozjhe2.jpg And then, Warplock Brass to do all the metal, a first coat! http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c254/TheNewAgeOutlaw/GW/DaemonPrinces2_zpsvywdawga.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although you've already seen the Contemptors... There was a minor issue! Regrettably, having sprayed everything else that I needed to this afternoon, there was a tragic accident involving a rolling tyre, that has led to a slight accident... the rest of the family is gathered round to pay their respects: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c254/TheNewAgeOutlaw/GW/ContemptorSmash_zpsf9ydu0cx.jpg Felt obliged to offer a couple of WIP shots - the first is a bit blurry: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c254/TheNewAgeOutlaw/GW/Contempt1_zpsvyepq0bn.jpg The second shows the majority of today's progress: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c254/TheNewAgeOutlaw/GW/Contempt2_zpsgijti0gg.jpg So, following their arrival the other day, it was only appropriate to investigate them: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c254/TheNewAgeOutlaw/GW/Rust_zps2wiuxag3.jpg Although I've been aware of the AK brand for awhile, I've not taken the plunge until recently. I'd been recommended their products, and so I picked up these to aid my weathering techniques and my overall collection. I have to say, I'm very impressed - of the set of six, I've only used half of them - and I'm very excited to try the 'chipping colour' in future. I'm far from an expert in these things, but even with a lot of shaking, they don't seem particularly thick of pigment - which is perfect for lighter coats and for the wet-blending that you really need for rust, and that I've tried to bring out in this. I used the two lightest shades and the 'Shadow Rust', and I think they've come out pretty perfectly in terms of what I've been looking for. For those who prefer them, they come in dropper bottles too! Very happy overall, see what you think? http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c254/TheNewAgeOutlaw/GW/ContemptorWeathered_zps0nvp4rzk.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 That is a lot of Contemptors! They all look great, though I'm curious why one has blue shoulderpads and the others have green? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infyrana Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I'm guessing by the shoulder pad, it's a WE contemptor? Great stuff, mm Contemptors in DG! *jelly now, only have 3 myself !!* With regards to the rust, I can't see the images very well so I apologise if the comment is misplaced. I will say that from a distance, the splodges of rusted orange looks like they might need a little blending in or breaking up to spread out the rust over the whole model as opposed to singular large areas.

As infyrana guessed - it's hiding secretly... by that I mean, it's a World Eaters Contemptor that I couldn't really get away with painting in purely DG colours. Thank you for the kind comments!

Not at all misplaced! I've not started the chipping or other weathering yet - on some it definitely stands out more, totally agree. Fingers crossed, with the next stages of weathering, it'll all blend in nicely! :) Thank you for the lovely comments too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
