Working on the Hunt (Pic Heavy)

[Madwolf Shadowmane]

I'll take and post some more tommorrow as tonight I have a hockey game to attend.  Been painting almost everyday as I have a squad to clear off the table before I can start my ETL vow.

New pics

current view from the front. I am working around finishing off the details before I add the weathering. I still have the back and the right side left to do.

Closer look at the front details before weathering

left side which is almost done on the details

I still need to highlight the lower back area near the rear tracks

Venerable Dreadnought- I intend this to be my next vow for the ETL if I complete my first one.

custom made twin-linked flamer

another shot. Hopefully I will get to this for the ETL. That's all for now.

Hey, first of all, thanks for taking the time to go through my DIY thread and comment.

 

I think you're doing some great things on these models- the little icons and details you're adding are spiffy.  The displays for your infantry are coming along nicely as well. The sicaran is shaping up as well- although I think your highlights need to be slimmed down some; they are rather thick in terms of line width currently.

 

Keep it up brother!

The Tank is coming along nicely. But really liking the Dread.

[UltraRich]

I like what you have done with the twin linked flamers but personally I'd have put them side by side (but only if they are the same model flamer) or put the smaller one at the top. The reason is that the fuel tube of the longer one hangs in the line of fire (literally) of the shorter one below.

 

At the end of the day though it's what you are happy with and I'm sure it'll look great if painted like the tank

[Madwolf Shadowmane]

First of all thank you for your comments.

 

@ The_Chaplain

After looking at the pictures I see exactly what you are talking about. I plan to go back and fix those after I've finished the details.

 

@ deathspectersgt7

Thank you. Quite an impressive force you have there yourself.

 

@ UltraRich

The heavy flamers are actually staggered and the bottom one is offset to the right. Hard to tell from the pics. They also are not the same heavy flamer model. I had searched the GW site and forgeworld an realized that there isn't a twin-linked heavy flamer for a dreadnought so I made my own from my bits box. I plan to paint the dread in a scheme somewhere between the tank and my infantry models. Thank you for the view and comments.

More pics.

Sketch of what I want my Chapter Master to look like when I get to building and painting him.

Army pic as of today. Long way to go.

Wip for the ETL. Making progress slowly but surely.

Another WIP shot of the Juggernaut Hunter.

More to follow as progress continues.

[deathspectersgt7]

Looking Good. Your Hounds look great.

[Madwolf Shadowmane]

Thank you

Today makes the first day of the second week of my return to college. I am back in school after a 21 year break which slowed my painting progress. Enough about me on to the pics.

Iron Seer in progress. He is currently done now with the exception of the base.

Thunder hammer, helmet, and Servo-arm which is now complete.

Clansman and special weapon Hound

Another Hound from the Iron Seer pack

Another view. Comments and critiques welcome. This is a repost from the 23rd.

Newest update. ETL III update.

Great stuff- I especially like that tank!

 

Props to anyone who paints that much yellow! We are a special brand of crazy.

 

I really like the way you use red on the backpacks, too.

 

Keep it up!

[Madwolf Shadowmane]

Thank you.

That Iron Seer might be my favourite model you've done up to now.

He looks like he's taking a quick time out from repairs to ruin some poor heretic's day with his gun!

[Madwolf Shadowmane]

Thank you.  Not too long and I'll have this pack finished.  I started assembling the next pack.  I tried to add in a few more dynamic poses.  I'll post pics of them once I get them based.

[deathspectersgt7]

Nice up-date , but the Dread looks Great!!!

[geektom]

Yeah, I agree! The Dreadnought looks awesome!

[Madwolf Shadowmane]

Time for another update.

Only thing left to finish is the sponsons.

Also when the sponsons are done, then I have to weather it (which is something I am very nervous about)

Side view

Model's eye view, as if it was about to be tank shocked.

And......I finished my second ETL vow. I will not be doing another this year as I am taking summer classes in college (a return after 21 years of military service) and my wife was understanding for the first two, but I think she might not be as understanding for a third. Comments and Criticism welcome.

[Eldrick Shadowblade]

Dreads looking great. I agree with The_Chaplain and think you should go back and thin down those highlights some. Just use your base color and thin it back. You're a brave man doing yellow and red!

[geektom]

or do a 50/50 mix of the base and the highlight color and thin the highlight on both sides-- will still show the highlight but also make a more natural transition.

[Madwolf Shadowmane]

The Sicarian is finished.  I tried some weathering, but the effort was a failure.  I will post pics tomorrow.
