WIP incomming!

Some boring priming... moving on

20170219 120700

Basecoat!

Khorne red, followed up by some nuln oil.
After the wash, I drybrushed a bit of khorne red again, then mephiston red and last a small amount of evil sun scarlet.
And Vallejo Gungrey on other parts of the model, and then nuln oil.

Details, battle damage and so on.

I use black, grey, evil sun scarlet.
The visor is done with gungrey, nuln oil, then dry brush with Vallejo steel, then agrax earthshake and last scratches with vallejo steel.

You're painting four robots faster than I'm painting two! Nice work, I should try the method you used to hold them, I stuck mine to the base and some of the painting has been a bit fiddly. You must have some huge wine bottles to end up with corks that size. :P

You got the right, be sure you have some one to share the wine with! msn-wink.gif And dont drink before you paint.

Or you can find them on ebay, really cheap smile.png

The method is great, its much easier to paint and you have more space for the brush.

I pin all my models to the base, I never glue them directly on the base.

Pinning is definitely superior, though I'm still too lazy to do it at that level.  I suppose it comes down to whether you want to spend more time on setup or more time correcting mistakes from bad model grip.  Can't argue with the results from pre-pinning, though!  :)

The only model I've ever pinned to a base was my Dominus (Dominii?), with such spindly legs I felt I had to. It looks like a good idea to me. I've just found the panel lines on the inside of the Kastellan legs are a pain to get to. Something learned in case I need another pair in the future. :)

Hello fellow Tech Priests! :)

Time for an update, I have finished almost 4 Kastealan Robots, only need to finish the weapons now.
Im looking forward to finish them, they have been sitting on the desk for at very long time now :D

I also finished two Ironstriders, becuase of the escalation league, but I droped out after the 8th edition announcement.
The arms are magnetized, so I can switch to ranged weapons, but they are not painted yet.

I really like the posing of your Kastellan robots but seeing the ones at the back without arms reminds me of this:

Mazinger Z is the ultimate Knight- one skilled at melee, shooting, and dogfighting (the Jet Scrander attachment allows him to fly). If he's not in battle, he'll be enshrined and worshiped by the Tech-priests.

 

The Knight Scion, Koji of House Kabuto, also deserves notice. "You say hope is the first step in the road to disappointment? Well, I dare to hope! I dare to believe we can achieve the Emperor's dream of humanity at peace and the galaxy united under His rule! First step: Destroy the road to disappointment! Breast Fire!" (That's the beam weapon fired from the breastplate. It can liquify battle tanks and Scout Titans.)

Great work, Zewl! Looks like you'll have 'em done just in time for 8th smile.png

I agree with Vel' (nice avatar Vel' by the wayhappy.png ) ,

Seeing this stuff makes me want to get cracking and finish MY Ad-mech Army (i can say that now cause they're all one faction now biggrin.png )

Again,Great work keep it up!

Cheers Mithril

Thanks! I should be posting up the related project in the IG forum soon, if you're interested :)

I too am incredibly excited that Canticles is now universal for AdMech, since it means all of their units are compatible now. While my dudes aren't up to Zewl's standard, I can take comfort that they're fully painted at least! :P
