skeletoro Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Hey, just wondering how you did those beautiful yellow runes? Were they freehand, with a paint brush? They're really tidy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercbat Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 @skeletoro Yes, it's a freehand with brush. I've tried several variants and found only one I can repeat with satisfying quality. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marvmoogy Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Love the colour and really like the non-standard HB turret on the Razorback - how did you do that? Â Or is this an old kit that I missed out on...?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercbat Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 @marvmoogy It's a sponson HB's from Predator with greenstuff and some bits from 1:35 UH-1 helicopter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercbat Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Combi-"everything" - my vision: As combi weapons are one-shot, I've thought that such tiny amount of ammo could be entirely hidden within standard storm-bolter case, and this assumption highlighted me a "right" answer for converting. Some cutted plasmapistols: Two 2x1magnets. One glued on half of the depth in "plasma-head" an another would fit the 3mm depth hole in the storm-bolter to make a more reliable part connection. Melta barrels would be made the same way as I get them in right quantity. Final view. They are both the same, so left is displaying plasma-part of combi, and right shows similar bolter from another side. New bolter barrels were made from some rounded sprue I've found in bitz. My phone "ate" all photos between 1st and final, so I cant show intermediate states, to my regret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercbat Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 Massive photo update, as my very good mate have found time to come and take these pics.

DanPesci Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Fantastic work. Â Love how the dark grey contrasts with your blue power weapons. If i didnt alreayd have 2000+ points of guys painted up in a different scheme..i would totally be stealing that haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fytharin Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Very nice work. I actually had a question. Do you base all of your models with snow? I noticed the orks had it as well or was wondering if that was thrown on to blend it in. Also how did you do make your board? What did you use for your snow effect more specifically? It looks like baking soda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercbat Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) @Fytharin No, I base with snow only my wolves. And it's not board for my sadness, even not a display. It's a couple terrain elements and trees over the olive fabrics an under great amount of soda exactly thrown over to make a more realistic background. My table is on the very beginning. On the "concept" stage =) Â On the wolven bases it soda too over tiny layer of PVA with 1/10 of white paint. I think I need to spray it with some matt-coat for durability, but haven't managed yet.

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Great pictures, Mercbat!! It really adds to the models to see them all posed and within terrain. Nicely done, indeed!! End of Line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fytharin Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I could see the table cloth in the background and kinda guessed that was the case….I was hoping it was more permanent because it really does look great. Very nice photography/staging work. I agree, the terrain really does lend itself to the models well. Looking forward to seeing more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amarog Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 duuuude! you're painting and displays are phenomenal!! Seriously. ..... and why i'd never though to use icey blue for the eyes .. i will never know. Â love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantay VI Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Yep I agree with everything so far, your painting skills are phenomenal. Â I especially love the freehand work for the company symbol & the runes, the blue weapons go really nicely with the grey too. And the scorched effect on the flamer is really nice. Â Stunning work.

mercbat Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 After some hard work and more hard holidays I've get back to my company. Suddenly I realize that old company symbol is annoying me, and I want to do something "heresy-era-style" So now I need an advice - leave the old mark or repaint all minis (25-35 maybe, not so many) Old mark : The new one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amarog Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 You make me want to cry. They're both awesome minis however I prefer the original myself :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadir Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 The new one gives you more eye catching colour on the minis. And it is more feral looking. But I love non wolfie wolf of the previous scheme. If you have more runes like that, on the armour of your troops I would choose the red wolf as a company symbol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I voted for the original on Instagram and my vote here is unwaivered. The original design is very unique and striking. Â End of Line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercbat Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Thanks brothers, community and friends gave me the exact answer to leave the old mark in place. :) so, maybe some battle-damage will give the desired look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercbat Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) @Jegind Sorry, mate, but what's "WTB" in this context? My English-knowledge not so deep, and I know it's as a "Want to buy" only =) If it's really that meaning, then - "No, thanks" Edited January 8, 2016 by mercbat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
