NiftyVT Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 Just got done scrubbing the old box dreads down. Still a little very stubborn paint in some of the deep crevices but I think they will still paint up fine. 20200903_133416 by nifty, on Flickr Spyros, Xenith and Thousand Eyes 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spagunk Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Good ol' sock dreads. Nice that you got the autocannon too since that's getting harder and harder to find nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiftyVT Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 Good ol' sock dreads. Nice that you got the autocannon too since that's getting harder and harder to find nowadays. Yeah, I have had the autocannon for forever and never really used it. Next step is to magnetize them. And my OCD might make me dig at the left over paint with a dental pick but maybe I can resist.

Spagunk Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) If you're in the states, you could try LA Fantastic. Been able to completely clean out an old crusty GW Paint pot by just using a 50/50 water mix to dissolve the paint.

Majkhel Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 A maasive update and looking awesome! I really like the way you sprinkle HH helmets and gear among your warriors. Didn't actually noticed before how well the HH BA mkIV-type helmets blend with the Primaris aesthetics. Might steal the helmet idea for the Judiciar as I was looking for inspirations and this is perfect :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiftyVT Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 Decided to reassemble and magnetize my box dreads. Middle will be a death company dread the others and the rest of the arms will be normal. Now I need to hunt for more weapon options. 20200911_125704 by nifty, on Flickr Thousand Eyes, Sagentus and Majkhel 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paikis Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) YES! Assault intercessor thunder hammer sarg is a thing! Sadly it looks like the Heavy Intercessors don't have any melee weapon options. But they look SO COOL! They do get Assault guns though. EDIT: The rules for the Heavy Intercessors weapon options seem to contradict each other also. It says you can only have the Executor or Hellstorm bolt rifles if "no model in this squad are equipped with a Heavy Bolter," but then it goes on to say that for every 5 models, you can replace the various types with 1 of the heavy versions. Weird wording but it seems you pick one type of rifle and can replace 1 per 5 with the heavy version. Edited September 12, 2020 by Paikis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiftyVT Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Loving how your Blood Angels are coming along. Plus I love the old dreads, very much my favorites of the dreadnought lines. The old metal dreads are primed and waiting for me to airbrush them. I hope to get the airbrushing done soon so I can mount them to bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiftyVT Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 Dreads airbrushed and mounted to bases. And I already have some touch ups to do on the death company dread.

NiftyVT Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 So my backlog of things to build is pretty much dry except for some terrain. So, I made myself some hobby by starting the process of stripping and rebasing my old marines (3rd and up, leaving my 2nd alone for historic reasons ). Here is the start of the great repaint! Just for time line reference. The no arm (magnetized) terminators I bought right when they were released. . .and they have only been primed black until now. 20201126_114432 by nifty, on Flickr Majkhel 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiftyVT Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 I admire your motivation! I also like the flamer with added scope :D Yeah the scope heavy flamer guy is a conversion using a plastic dreadnought flamer (got the plastic dread when it first came out) and an old metal devistator backpack.

NiftyVT Posted December 19, 2020 Author Share Posted December 19, 2020 Making progress on that huge pile of old marines. I am slowly blocking in my 24 terminators. 10 of them are the amazing Space Hulk termis. But those 10 guys have an insane number of little doodads on them. I feel like I have been base coating little doodads for forever! Majkhel 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhavien Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I feel you. Just painted some of them myself recently. So! Many! Blood drops! Those have to be the most conceited guys walking around :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiftyVT Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 I just finished up the last of the brush work on my big terminator batch today. Here is a preview of some smiling faces. Next steps are a light gloss coat, transfers and then the oil wash to finish them off. I think that metal chaplain termi has been sitting half painted since it was released. . . 20210212_190206 by nifty, on Flickr 20210212_190227 by nifty, on Flickr Spyros, Majkhel, Xenith and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiftyVT Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 They are looking gorgeous! The face of the scriptor looks especially ace. Grimm and mighty Thanks! Yeah, I wanted him to be angry and not as thirsty/vampire looking as the others. I would think the librarians have a little more control over the thirst than most others. Well, I did the gloss coat this morning and I want to finish with transfers today (not many to do, if any) and start on the oil washing too. Up next? . . .dreads maybe, or Sang guard?

NiftyVT Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 Only thing left on the 24 termi batch is matte coat and base detailing. Big winter storm is about to hit my area and last until early Friday. I should be able to finish up the termis by this weekend if the power stays on.
