Soldier of Dorn Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Today in the hobby I remembered how much I missed this forum and being proper active on it, and I realized how much being active and engaged in this community actually kept me active and engaged in the hobby. Emperor damn it, ladies and gents. I think it's time for a comeback tour. Got a backlog the size of the Mississippi to work on, so that's something to chip away at.

MrSpoon Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 TITH I took the day off and painted a lot of blue. 122 marines worth a lot.. plus 3 other characters got primed and zenithal highlighted. My index finger hurts and I can already feel my skin rebelling after wearing a mask for several hours in the 30 degrees plus. Totally worth it though. thewarriorhunter, BitsHammer and WrathOfTheLion 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cretacianborn Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 TITH I made good progress on a test model for a new Flesh Tearers force I'm starting. So much fun to paint this guy. Really motivated to get a whole squad done now! The Yncarne, andes, BitsHammer and 9 others 12 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfTheLion Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 YITH, I finished painting a squad of terminators for my WB 40k force. TITH, I will be working on another 5 tactical marines for my WB legion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redrandy93 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 TITH I sold another figure from the Indomitus box. That leaves me only the Bladeguard captain to sell. I kept the outriders, Chaplain, Bladeguard Lt., three Bladeguard veterans, Assault intercessors and the three Eradicators, last week sold off the Necrons. I no longer play but I like to collect and build to add to my UM Army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a gorgeous mini- a full force would be a sight to behold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cretacianborn Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Would you mind sharing what color you used for the base coat as well as the edge highlighting for the red?Its a gorgeous mini- a full force would be a sight to behold Thanks so much man! That's the plan, squad well in progress now. It's actually the old Forge World paint Gal Vorbak Red. I think GW might have released it now too. Then the highlight is Wazdakka Red but thinned quite a lot so the red still shows through a little. I'm debating whether to finish the highlights with either Squig Orange or Cadian Fleshtone like the old GW guides.

Magos Takatus Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Gal Vorbak is such a nice colour. I stocked up on it when I heard FW were discontinuing it, having no idea it would get rolled into the official Citadel range. Apparently it works really well for Flesh Tearers. Nice work.

WrathOfTheLion Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) Gal Vorbak is such a nice colour. I stocked up on it when I heard FW were discontinuing it, having no idea it would get rolled into the official Citadel range. Apparently it works really well for Flesh Tearers. Nice work. Gal Vorbak is an amazing color, I like it quite a lot. I use it for all my Word Bearers, it gives such a great color to them. Speaking of which, TITH I finished the last parts of 5 tactical marines for my Word Bearers legion. I finished the eyes, matte varnish on decals and painting the rims of the bases before work, so I'll end up working on something else again this evening.

The Yncarne Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Today in the hobby I: primed another troupe squad wrapped up my first troupe squad (with lessons learned) completed my first sky weaver I'm well past my prime painting wise, but I hope to get better as I learn more about this army. Nothing hides from the camera. Troupe squad: These looks brighter than I expected. I will try to tone future squads down a little. Still wish I could airbrush these models first sky weaver another image Edited August 16, 2020 by The Blood Raven BitsHammer and Viridia 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Tyler Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Today in the hobby I contacted Invision to initiate the server migration and software upgrade for the B&C. We're just dickering over costs and times right now, so we'll let you know more when we have it. Oh wait, that's not really "in the hobby" is it? It affects all of you, though, so I figured you'd like to know.Be on the lookout for more information and our annual fund drive (WarriorFish has some stuff you'll be very interested in seeing) Very SoonTM.For really reals this time, it's happening this year. +EDIT+It turns out that WarriorFish had already initiated contact, so I was just butting in.

MrSpoon Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 TITH I gloss coated by 122 blue marines and stayed up far too late applying decals. Next step recess washes. Fajita Fan and WrathOfTheLion 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fajita Fan Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 TITH I gloss coated by 122 blue marines and stayed up far too late applying decals. Next step recess washes. Does glossing first help recess washes? I have a terrible time with an unsteady hand trying to wash the ever shrinking recesses on these damn models. #oldguyproblems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does glossing first help recess washes? I have a terrible time with an unsteady hand trying to wash the ever shrinking recesses on these damn models. #oldguyproblems It certainly does. Some gloss varnishes are better for it than others, but it general they will reduce the surface tension on the model and the wash will flow easier into the recesses. I'd recommend looking at some of the enamel panel liners too (Tamiya is my favourite, but AK, MIG and various others sell it too). You touch the panel liner to a corner of another point and it just flows around into the recess. It's magical the first time you do it! Plus you can clean it up with a bit of thinner.

Klod Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Did a little test mini for my Custom Chapter. Not 100% sure on the paint scheme yet. I have another one that I will try out. BitsHammer, Doctor Perils and Viridia 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casual Heresy Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Today in the hobby I played my first game of 9th which was also my first game since March and my first game with a fully painted Space Marine army. And to top it all off I won against pesky Tau! Focslain 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BitsHammer Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Started work on Sister Tariana Palos who came in the mail yesterday. Wanted a dark red with a bit of a shine to it. Still need to do the red for the backpack to finish the armour, then comes all the other parts of the mini. Pushing myself to do NMM for the metals, and trying to use more glazes to smooth transitions. The Yncarne 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaVolt87 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 TITH my Typhon was delivered, very nice sculpt I rate it 8.5/10, considering its sister chassis the Spartan was a nudged 7/10 in overal quality I had prior. Mabye even 9/10 as the gap filling I predict to be minimal with liquid greenstuff. Gederas 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrathOfTheLion Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) TITH I am working on and hoping to finish another 5 blood claws for my Space Wolves, as well as start more in earnest on some Skyclaws.Yesterday, however, I did mess up by accidentally grabbing the Agrax gloss, so I wondered why my furs and pelts looked like a wet doggy. That was easily fixed by just putting some lahmian medium straight over the areas to dull it back down though.
