Back from the future!

After a brief hiatus, UPDATE!

omg!

So yea put on a bit of Tom Jones and lets get stripping. Remember, you can leave your hat on.

And now for something completely different.

And in they go.

Saved so many typings for sure.
I'll do another update tomorrow after I've take the toothbrush to em.

Assault Squads, Death Company, Compressors and Magnets.

Hey hey!

How's it going folks?
So.
Today was an eventful day, at least compared to the last few days :)

Got 2 packages through the post, a big one and a not so big one. Lets start of small and work our way up.

Package number 1: Wayland games finally sent me the Assault Squad and Death Company, not got any pretty pictures though :)

Package number 2: The big one, I ordered a compressor kit last Friday and today it came, complete with 2 airbrushes and a connector that only fits one of them...... nevermind at least I can hook it up to the GW spray gun. Oh and the instructions are in Engrish, good job I am a man and wouldn't bother reading them anyway :p

Tomorrows job is to test it out before I go to work.

I made a start on painting my Captain, just doing a bit here and there, need to pick up some codex grey for highlighting the black.

 I'm pretty happy with the colour on the armour, you might be able to see where I tried highlighting and then gave up :p but overall it'll to for tabletop. Also I tried the white hot metal again, this time trying to place it in the holes where I would expect the hot stuff to come from.

I magnetised a few options for him too, rather than just stick with the Thunder Hammer which isn't always the best choice. We have a Power Axe, Inferno Pistol, Storm Shield, Thunder Hammer and a Plasma Pistol (out of shot, came from one of the badly painted boys, actually looks like it's Mephistons)

Counts as Dante.

This is the Axe and Inferno Pistol for a "counts as Dante" gonna magnetise a Bolt Pistol for a "counts as Asteroth" since it's only a 1 handed axe and Asteroth has a Bolt Pistol in his profile.

Here's a little one with the Storm Shield, the shield is magnetised onto the arm itself and there is a separate Bolt Pistol on the sprue to go with the arm as well, so I will probably magnetise that too so I can just pop it on and have Asteroth.

Hopefully Ill be able to get cracking with the AS and DC and have some pics up soonish, pretty busy next week with work but I'll do my best.

Have fun.

Odd and sods.

Hallo ladies and gentlebeards.

Well, I've been messing about trying out battle damage on the Terminator and here are the results (a bit blurry sorry, need a proper camera)

Does the black outlines clash too much with the red? also I wasn't really sure how to do the  scratches on black. On the red I painted a Chaos Black splodge and put Boltgun Metal in the middle, for the Black I did a Baltgun Metal splodge with Mithril Silver in the middle, it's not very discernible though. As for the Powerfist, I just wanted to try out the flames, didn't work so great tbh.

Also I tried out the Army Painter dip on a Blood Angel Marine, I also found out Matt Varnish doesn't work very well in the dark, like the Citadal spray primers it leaves a bubbly finish if you use it in the dark, never the less here are the pics.

It's a sloppy paintjob, but it only took 5 min :p I think it would work really well if I took my time and did it properly.

On another note, My Flesh Tearer shoulder pads arrived, along with the Meltaguns, also the Chain Axes I ordered from Forgeworld turned up too, they will need a lot of cleaning up.  I magnetised the arms on my captain so I can change his loadout easier and I've undercoated, gonna make a start on painting him today I think.

That's all I can think of for now, adios.

Painting above my abilities.

Hi I'm procrastinating again :D

So I got my paints through the post, mail order ftw! :p

so first up I had a go at the "hot" jump pack, at this point I noticed I really should have filed them joins on the packs before I glued them together, ah well you live and learn.

hmm the flash obscures it somewhat, I'll try and find a spare lamp tomorrow and stick my full spectrum bulb in, should be able to get some better pics with that. Still I am reasonably satisfied with the effect. Gotta try these things if you want to get better right?


2ndly

I got the spray gun working pretty well and squirted a terminator with it. It gave a much better coverage with the scab red than when I hand paint it, the smoothness of it was impressive.

However after a while the can got a bit cold and lost pressure. I thought maybe if the can was somewhere warmer it would last longer, but I just ended up with a cold arse. Ah well.

I messed up the right knee, I'm still not very good at painting skulls and such, my layer needs work.

This is Scab Red sprayed over Chaos black with minimal Red Gore highlights and a Badab Black wash. Chest skull and wing bits are done with Snakebite Leather followed with a drybush of Bleached Bone, I think I did it a bit heavy though. The skulls are washed with Gryphon Sepia and the wing bits are washed with Baal Red to tie it to the Torso a bit better.

So currently I am playing about with a bit of weathering on the Terminator, a black blob with a dab of Boltgun metal in the middle, looks passable, I'll post a pick tomorrow maybe.

I think tomorrow I will have a crack at using the Army Painter dip I got ages ago to see how that works, although I think Flesh Tearers may be too dark a scheme for that to really shine, so I may have to paint up a proper Blood Angel marine for that.

Oh and I ordered some Flesh Tearer shoulder pads to bump my Spraypaint to free delivery :p so they will go nicely on my Assault squad when that gets delivered (Wayland games are a bit slow on the dispatch )

Eek 2am, better go to bed :p

Moar.

Well I have done this one as much as I can till I get some more paints.

I tried to simulate writing but not so great.

I need to touch up the sloppy bits and paint the metallic colours, also I saw a nice effect on some jump pack exhausts which I think I will try. Finally a matt varnish to get rid of the shiny.

I've ordered a box of Assault Marines and a Box of Death Co.

I've been pondering a fluffy list.

Basically Flesh Tearers are Blood Angels crazy turned up to 11 so lots of CC units and Astorath to lead them. Having everyone suffer from Red Thirst on a 1-3 instead of just a 1 will simulate the instability of them.

Test Model MKII

I've been doing a little bit of dabbling and I quiet like this messy one.

This fellow is a Heaver Bolter Marine, not very Flesh Teareresque but hey ho what can ya do :p

Test Model MKII

Right, I've been messing about just slapping a layer on here and there whilst waiting to respawn or watching a film and I am quite liking the messy look of this one.
