bases

i put together some bases for the WE's last night. i am not sure if i love or hate the mars effect i have going on. i may just go back to a more gray tone. the ruin bits are miscast scrap that my friends had from some of the hirst plaster kits.

here is a comp shot with kharn's base. it has more gray tones.

W.E. #1

mostly finished W.E., needs basing.

W.E. progress

worked on the brass monday night. i am very pleased with the dark and weathered look that i have achieved. tonight, i blocked in 3 of the berzerkers with my burnt cad. red base before my eyes started to bug out. thanks to rabid child for helping figure out that i suck, not my camera :)

PRIME!

3 zerks and a skull champion = primed!

HA!!!

not mine however, it made me laugh!!!

World Eaters test paint

i bought some new paints and decided to do a test paint for my World Eaters army on an old Kharn model. i am going for a dark and dirty look. like the armor actually gets used. thanks again to daughters of the emperor for use of the camera!

reds are; vallejo model color's burnt cad. red, gory red and a 1/1 mix of gory red with citadel foundation's macharius solar orange.

brass is; undercoat of vallejo color's reflective green and reaper's highland moss with vallejo model color's brass drybrused on highlighted with a 1/1 of the brass and vallejo model color siver lightly drybrushed over the highlights followed by various washes of citadel's devlan mud, gryphonne sepia and a touch of thraka green.

i know i did not drill out the barrell, it is just a test paint!

gore effects; tamiya color's clear red with just a small dab of vallejo game color's black.

the summertime bleh

so, i've done a little work on the bloodthirster; started working on the axe, added some more horns and other small details.  in addtion, i've started putting together my forgeworld World Eaters and the rhino to carry them in, a WE lord and a few test paintings on old models.  unfortunately, everyting is on hold while i wait for some online trade bits to get in so i can finish my models up.
