mercbat Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) @Jegind Black undercoat, Mechanicus Standard Grey, Devlan Mud wash, then restore MSG, highlight with Codex Grey (Dawstone in nowadays).On the lower pic we can see (if use some magnifiers ) little scratches done with 1:2 Chaos Black:MSG mix and pure Mithril Silver over it. Maybe some more photos tomorrow, as I've succeded to "scratch" a whole squad today. Finally I've learnt a battle-damage technique that suits me =) I don't like a lot of weathering (rust, dirt, etc) as big part of fluff says that marines are keeping their armour in a good conditions.

Hello mercbat, I am interested in you recipe as well. It looks great! But what is "restore MSG"? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercbat Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 @Pork Chop Express "restore MSG" means - "apply Mechanicus Standard Grey again over all mini, except recesses, after washing". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercbat Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Scratched members of the pack, sorry for pics quality once more - me and my phone are not the best pair.

SW1 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I was looking at doing a dark grey scheme and will be taking this as an inspirational starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercbat Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 @MosesGunn Thanks! @SW1 You are welcome! I've aquired so much inspiration from the Fang that it's a honor to return some of it. :) Keep in mind that my scheme is closer to "pro" photos on the first and second pages of this thread, last photos are "mobile" and a little bit darker than they really are.

mercbat Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) Plastic dread from the BaC box. Finally It's finished! Five times in a row I've tried to make hip joints till getting some satisfaction. Unimaginable thanks to @Argyle for his "Fur and cloak" tutorial. And from now - I would prepare for my ETL vows only.

mercbat Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 Fenrisian valkirya, slightly more than a year old, and a new job leaves very little time for hobby, but I'm softly moving towards a HH army. So this is my first 10 Grey Slayers. Just half of the pack.

mercbat Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 I think this thread need some revitalizing, so here is reincarnation of Ainar Adallson - Jarl of the Sesc: Some minor tweaks are in my mind, but I'm overall happy wth the result.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Good job. The knotwork wolf is an original idea. What does it symbolize? Fate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercbat Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 Oh, I haven't looked at that angle yet. For now it's just my new jarl/company badge. :) I don't like decals, do like knotwork and this is the best I can repeat on miniatures without feeling myself "all-thumb'ed".

mercbat Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 After seeing FW preview I've felt an urgent need to build Varagyr pack myself. Keeping in mind Inferno Varagyr pic and fact that my HH Vlka is seriosly less adorned than 40K, I've started: Pic clickable. Still thinking if need some more runes, teeth or talon talismans, or try represent everything else with paintjob. C&C are welcome as I open to any idea even if I wouldn't use it right now.

mercbat Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 My last paintjob in this year. Varagyr pack assigned to Sesc Great Company. Thegn His brothers Whole pack ready to hunt After long thoughts I've decided to represent all frost weapons as they were made from fenrisian kraken-bone rather than "energized diamond" so some serious repaint in army awaits me ;) Triszin and Bjorn Firewalker 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn Firewalker Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 The Terminators are well painted and posed, but they can really do with more ranged weapons- some holstered pistols, at the very least, to show they're prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
