Sheeps Laying a log

[doghouse]

They look great mate, very epic which is what 40k is all about.

[tinfoil]

The statuary looks very atmospheric. I particularly like the toppled one. Well done.

[Rhaivaen]

3 marine "saints" that were the last of a heroic stand or successful conquering, on the planet you are playing on?

[tagsta]

those statues are an amazing idea!
would you mind sharing the color recipe for the metal parts?
expecially for those blueish tones

[eltanko]

Concur with the rest, those statues look excellent.
did you have to break that one to make the toppled statue? :(

LOVE THE STATUES!!!

Absolutely fantastic work on them, very bronze looking, just awesome. :D

[Metal Fingered Villain]

Terrific stuff as usual mate, your valkyries have caused me to order two along with some cadians to make a proper renegade air cav army. The statues are bloody awesome and gigantic, would like to play with those on the table. And.....

the Hoff was/is working on commissions. Please encourage him to share eh?

[Tommygun]

nice weathering.
Are those true scale marines.:D

[Kriegfreak]

The toppled statue is awesome.

[Mr Kibbles]

Awesome statues, sheep. The last is my favourite.

[sheep]

Thanks guys.


The statues look great, the bases on the other hand could have used some more attention. Using a spackle solution to cover the foam exterior, I assume thia was a speed issue?

It was and wasn't, the foam got a coat of PVA, and a coat of texture paint, then 2 coats of rough coat which is what did the damage, no idea how it was affected :(


that terrain looks awesome, sheep.

nice oxidation (is it the right word? i dunno..but hope you know what i mean ;-) ) on the statues, and the scattered one is especially great :-)

keep it up and coming,

Noc

Yeah thats the right word :)


Love the statues. Did you base coat them in the verdigris color and then highlight up to the regular bronze, or did you wash the blue/green on at the end?

I based them in bronze and the verdigris is a wash. it went on, dried, then dry brushed shining gold.


Great job with the statues sheep. Your gaming club is lucky to have such awesome bits of terrain. Also, past the grenadiers, what are your next plans for the death korp?

The army is going on hold for awhile because i'm joining the army, and so won't have the spare time.


Sheep, I think the bases could have used some Mister Surfacer to add another dimension to them, but otherwise, they look great.

What is Mr Surfacer?


3 marine "saints" that were the last of a heroic stand or successful conquering, on the planet you are playing on?

Yeah they were supposed to look like a mausoleum


those statues are an amazing idea!
would you mind sharing the color recipe for the metal parts?
expecially for those blueish tones

1:brass, any colour will do, i used a cheap acrylic
2:Dry brush, heavily, shining gold
3:add the verdigris, a wash of watered down hawk turquoise
4:above with white added, dab this around randomly
5:dry brush shininng gold

Hope that helps mate


Concur with the rest, those statues look excellent.

ElTanko

The guy that donated them had already destroyed it, so we reassembled the torso, the legs and groin were beyond saving though

Glad i could inspire mate. Hoff has a log in the general logs section.

True scale movie marines ;)

[Malzeth]

Thanks for sharing your Brass/Bronze.. consider me inspired.. i love good scenery

[Mr Kibbles]

sheep, you joining THe RAR? And would you mind looking at my log?

[sheep]

Yeah mate, I join on the 7th :D

It's a way to remove imperfections from the surface, or to add texturing to a surface, depends on how you apply it. It's from Gunze.

http://www.swannysmodels.com/Surfacer.html


"While I am personally focused on model aircraft the possible uses for this stuff extend far beyond this facet of the hobby. For Treadheads you can use this to make weld seams, antislip surfaces on the tops of tanks and on the base for accumulated mud and dirt."

There's an Osprey book on modelling armour, a bit like the FW masterclass, but more on assembly and conversion than the FW book has, that goes over it and has some great examples in it as well.

[ancient_conflict]

the statues are great, your genious strikes again
just curious where you sourced the base moddels from or where they hand built?

[folnjir]

Very nice work on those statues, ant chance of an explanation on how you did the bonzework?

[Uriain]

Sheep, just have to say, finished reading this log after 7-8 days of reading during/after work.. Lovely stuff, Very impressive camo pattern on your Krieg, I have a similar, though using the Canadian JTF2 Black carapace armour and Dark Green camo pattern in a similar vein as yours.

Tanks looks really good. I am definatly subbed to this plog, as you bring alot of great ideas to learn from. keep up the good work

[eltanko]

The guy that donated them had already destroyed it, so we reassembled the torso, the legs and groin were beyond saving though


That made me cringe for a second there!!

The statues were really effective, if i ever get around to making any scenery, i may have to try that method.

Thanks sheep. Now, if only i had a Lord Solar Macharius model lying aroun somewhere.

[Wolf Scout Ewan]

Fantastic statuary!

[iPaint]

Simply amazing work, I just subscribed to keep track of all the great painting in here. I'm thinking of starting IG, and was planning on using the Pig Iron Kolony heads on the Cadian bodies, and I may have to *ahem* borrow this camo pattern. Though, I have to say, I've done Oakleaf and Pea Dot before...on 15mm Germans. Let's just say I dreamed in Pea Dot for days on end and leave it at that.

Love the Mortians by the way, you should send pics to the folks over at heavy-support and show them how sexy their tanks can look.

Keep up the outstanding work, will wait anxiously for the next update.

Thanks, how did I even miss it? :rolleyes:

[sheep]

Thanks everyone.

Well played in the tournament this weekend, and did pretty well in the games, W/2 L/1 D/1. And i won Players choice! :D

I'll be going on hiatus for a while as I begin my basic training in a couple of days.

I'll see you all round these traps in the future.

Cheers

Sheep

[Faolan]

Can I have all your stuff? :-)

[The Wildchild]

Is that for the army bud?

[Ragsta]

Finally, a holiday from Sheep's log haha! What will you be training for? I'm afraid I couldn't work out the abbreviation you referred to earlier in your plog.

Enjoy your hiatus if you can, mate. Thanks for an awesome plog so far! Can we have an army shot of all the painted stuff before tho? :P

[SSG Snuffy]

Maybe now I'll be able to work my way through the whole log...

Have fun at basic, sir.

[Emilio101]

Good luck at basic mate. Are you at Kapooka? A couple of my mates are there atm.

[Mr Kibbles]

Are you in the army as well Emilio?

[Shadow Fall]

com on dude... lets see some models! now your gone i have to actually... PAINT! mercy please

aswell as im having to make my own inspiration.... not good... a guardsmen sh*ting down a tube doesnt make a good amunition feed for a autocannon so com on dude PAINT!!!

i need more to satiate my lust for amazing models....

SF :chrome:

[Tommygun]

Mr. Sheep, at the moment, does not have the time to paint Guardsmen.
He is too busy becoming a Guardsman.


.....I see many push ups and yelling in his future.
Good Luck Sheep.

[Lawkeeper]

I second that. Good luck!

[sheep]

G'day everyone.

Survived boot camp, sprained an ankle, but its all good, won't have anytime to paint in the forseeable future, maybe in about a month (although my GF packed all my stuff away into storage so couldn't if i wanted too).

Just letting you all know i'm alive and i'll paint when i can, maybe the new space hulk stuff, i'll definately be getting one of those.

Cheers

Sheep

[Faolan]

Good to hear, mate!

Whats yer next phase of training?

[sheep]

Next is a whole lot of weps training, and we start the whole theory of warfare etc, they got 16 months to fill in lol, i'll be here for a while.

Cheers

[Colonel Jacka]

Sheep,

Welcome mate! I hope you do well Digger! You are joining a fine group. PM the Arms or Service you went to. I have been in five!

[God LFC]

Ha the australian army:D

But anyway im defentily going to have to collect a guard army now. i might do it the first style, right at the front of the log

awsome

[Wintermute]

Can we keep this thread on-topic, its a Project Log not a chatroom.

Wintermute

[Wintermute]

I'm moving this thread to the new Imperium Project Logs Sub Forum

Wintermute

[Colonel Jacka]

Wintermute,

Sorry mate us Aussie's were just talking family stuff. Sheep will be back to painting soon. Have all Imperial projects been moved to this new thread?

[Wintermute]

Wintermute,

Sorry mate us Aussie's were just talking family stuff. Sheep will be back to painting soon.

No problem mate :p


Have all Imperial projects been moved to this new thread?And yes we are in the process of moving all the Imperium Projects to this new sub forum, unless they are Tales of ... threads which cover Imperium projects. All Tales of ... threads are being moved to the new WarSeer Painting Support Group Forum.

[TigerCat86]

My first post on your plog :p
Not a 40k player myself but your tanks look very nice
So do your death corps and cadians
Go guard !!

Keep up the good work

:)

[sheep]

Well I got back classed :( oh well.....but the bright side is now i'm graduating in the centenary class :D Its going to be a massive parade, and will be getting some blue blood imported for the day, hopefully harry, getting smashed with him would be a blast i'm sure. . .

In other news, i'm on xmas hols, and this means i've been reunited with my paints and models, unfortunately both my airbrushes died of neglect while i was gone, apparently leaving them on the verandah for 6 months is not conducive of a long and happy life, so painting on these >

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Backinthesaddle002.jpg

Has stalled til i get my new iwata airbrush from eBay, very excited to get it actually, should have asked for it for xmas, but this way i know its the right one lol.

Also have to make a start on this lot, as it is my army lacks AT firepower, so hopefully this will rectify that shortcoming. . . . .

Congratulations for your classes. About the Vultures, you'll use the same schem as the Valks?

Nice to see you back.

That is a thing of beauty. Well done. I'd give my left arm to paint like that.

Just an idea for the vultures.
I think it would go well with an autumn camouflage?

[khaosBlizzard]

Hey sheep, what ever happened to that Half-track??? it looked sooo promising :D

[zapp]

Hey Sheep, great that youre back! it sucks that you got back squadded though!

When i did basic, youre greatest fear was being pulled out of your platoon and put in "Hunter" platoon with the Biffs for re-training....

Onto models though, Youre crazy! you could have paid off youre morgage by now! But 9 DKOK las cannon teams? That is a whole bucket of "FREEM!"

Color schemes, I'd repeat your current camo pattern, as i found looks quite cool to have your infantry and vehicles sharing the same camo pattern.

Regardless I'm loving your work keep it up buddy....

[dood515]

Woah, I just spent a day(whilst doing other things too) looking through this log. And i have to say that this is one cool thread, you really rock!

Also, those mort russes look very macharis to me, if i have the right name there...

[Colonel Jacka]

Sheep,

Good to see you back, bad luck about the back squad. Your still there though so all is good. Looking forward to some more Sheppish DKoK!

[CMDante]

That sucks about the airbrushes mate but it's good to see you back in action!

Have been missing those fall camo Kriegers of yours!

Cheers,

Yeah its a bit *****, but I'll survive :) I hope to actually hit something if i shoot them all at once lol. Everythings going to be in the same camo mate, don't worry about that.

Glad your not!

And I'll look you up when you finish.

Need someone to talk to just PM.

[Faolan]

If you're taking requests Sheep, I've love to see those AC teams done up, especially if you get really ambitious and do a little repositioning to have them loading or clearing a jam :)

[Mr Kibbles]

Awesome Tyranid MCs man. They look great.

[sheep]

I'm thinking of working in sections of 6, so 3 of each weapon, just to keep it interesting for myself.

Faolan: I'd love too, but it would require a bit of work, so i'll look into it ;)

Colonel: Cheers mate, look forward to catching up with you at some point, only 18 months of Funtroon to survive first . . .

Kibbles: Ta mate, looking forward to the new dex so i can paint some more for those guys too.

And remember Sheep, should yer get posted down thisaway, you'll always be welcome over here for grubbins, just like Jacka.

On another front, are you planning on doing the interiors on those new Valks?

[sonofwaranddeath]

WOW! Just went through all 91 pages and I must say GRATS! This is one of the best things I have spent a couple of hours going through! If you dont mind, I think I will be using the Autumb Oak Leaf scheme aswell! Ace work man, just Ace! ;)

[sheep]

There vultures Faolan :D so no interiors, and thanks for the offer too mate :) I'll definitely take you up on it if i'm down there.

Nice work on thise termies man

[rev]

somehow your scheme makes them look MORE aggresive, nice work sheep!

[sheep]

Thanks for the comments guys


somehow your scheme makes them look MORE aggresive, nice work sheep!

the termies? Thankyou :)

So this is the problem i ran into assembling the heavy weapons, the one on the left is for the mobile weapons :(

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Update2001.jpg

I first cut under the guidance slide horizonally, then cut down through the middle of the two poles, carefully, making sure i didn't cut through the guide. Then, cut though the legs following the shape of the boxy bit on the short leg. Leaving me with 2 pieces.

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Update2002.jpg

Cleaning up the cut, i then glued it back on to look like the other one, if you get carried away you could GS at this point, but its all going to be hidden by the weapon, so im not too fussed :)

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Update2005.jpg

Hope this helps anyone thats had the same problem as me, and anyone that might have it in the future.

Cheers

Very nice, Sheep, the wooden floorboards and wet leaves look so real! Top-notch stuff!

I'm digging the Space Hulk conversions too, although it's almost a shame to convert those excellent models (I have them as well). What chapter are they supposed to be?

[sheep]

Thanks mate, glad you like them :) Flesh eaters mate,a chapter pioneered by Chaplain Desmodeus on B&C.

Cheers

Sheep

[Faolan]

Bloody gorgeous mate. Gorgeous enough to make one largely overlook the shortcomings of the resin (a few bent barrels).

Only criticism is that you need to finish painting the mortar on a few of the bricks :)

Are those from the 1/48th or 1/35th Tamiya sets?

[sheep]

Thanks chap, yeah the bent barrel turns up in the pics unfortunately, but its not noticeable IRL, the mortar is because i was rushing to get it done, just wanted to finish something lol.

They're 1/35th scale mate :)

Cheers

Sheep

[Mega Nutz]

Fantastic looking as ever!!

[Colonel Jacka]

Shai Dorsai! Well done again Sheep. He awakes much painting will occur! :D

1/35 Hmmm, must get box! :eyebrows: :shifty:

[dood515]

HAHA, Not even dodgy castings can defeat the sheep!

Oh right, it's not a dodgy casting, i must have missed you saying that it's for the mobile hw the first time round.



That a/c team look great.

[Nocturn]

Hey there Sheep :-),

now that is strange.
I left a comment yesterday night here in your log, and now it's gone? oO did you delete it? I don't think so...that's really strange.
Then a short summary:
The pink/magenta jewels on the termies are a real eyecatcher, well done, and the bases are great looking, I think you are putting so much effort in every of your models.

Keep it up and I hope this post don't vanishs, too ;-)

Man, Sheep, that autocannon team looks briliant. That rust effect on the metal plate is just weathering pouder liberally splashed around or is there more to it?

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe Sheep mentioned that he uses Macharius Orange(not familiar with GW paints) washed over several different metallic colors, though I could be wrong. Either way, the effect is superb.

Man, Sheep, that autocannon team looks briliant. That rust effect on the metal plate is just weathering pouder liberally splashed around or is there more to it?

The plate was painted as an experiment, from memory, because i forgot to write it down:
1. scorched brown all over
2. dry brush chainmail
3. paint the whole thing in watered down solar macharius orange, 2:1 water to paint
4.while the above is stil wet, tiny spots of watered down browns, black dabbed into the orange. Let it dry completely
5. drybrush chainmail again
6. wash with slightly thinned devlan mud

All of it, this is some of the ugliest stuff I've eve.... Aha, I dont know what else to say. I love it all. Always sucks to hear about forgeworld shortcomings when we the customers pay out the ass for the precious resin gold.

Thanks guys :)

Its not a miscast issue, its a pose issue. The ones that are supposed to be mobile need to be converted so that i can use them as static weapons, I really don't mind so much, its just something i didn't think aboiut when i tried to save 15 pounds when i bought the teams.

Anyway . . .

Finished the second heavy weapons team, a Lascannon this time, i'm not particularly happy with the brick colour, as i gave my pot of terracotta away middle of this year i had to mix the colour today, and it a bit too red. . .

Hmm. Without sounding too much like a suck up id say thats just brilliant. I like the red brick colour and i love the rusted effect on the heavy weapon and wire. Weathering powders ?

[Faolan]

Honestly Sheep, while most of it looks great, the lone standing corner piece (because that's what it's designed for) looks a bit ********, it just doesn't work.

Hmm. Without sounding too much like a suck up id say thats just brilliant. I like the red brick colour and i love the rusted effect on the heavy weapon and wire. Weathering powders ?

Thanks mate, no weathering powders on my infantry, its all paint, theres alot of layers of washes etc, but the orange is just really watered down Solar macharius orange.

I kind of agree mate, i was trying to suggest a door frame, but I guess i failed :( Oh well, its there now, and if really bothers me i'll tear it off later and fill the gap with grass and leaves :D

Cheers

[Faolan]

Well, add in a twisted to hell "hinge" and a few chunks of door, and then I'd say "Brilliant!"

[dood515]

I think it would be worth re-doing the brick colour when you get some more terracotta and i was also going to mention the lonely brick section but it seems that it's been covered.

The rust on the gun looks great, esp on the wheels.

[sonofwaranddeath]

Looking good sheep! :D

[Metal Fingered Villain]

Ah, well... Ahem. I bought some forgeworld stuff, rhino extra armor and icons and the stuff was so warped i was afraid to try and soak it and bend it back because so much had to be bent.

[Marshal2Crusaders]

Sheep! Nice! How was training?

[iPaint]

Great to see you back and painting again, and must say, your brushwork is as good as ever.

I'd agree with the door frame comments though. It is sticking out like a sore thumb, and doesn't quite say "door frame" yet. If you spruce it up with some balsa that's been splintered and charred then it may start looking more the part. Or tear it down/cut it back some. Your call.

[Wintermute]

Do those minis have SS Lightning runes on their helmets?

[Colonel Jacka]

No Wintermute just Sheep's unit badge. Thinking! :eyebrows: The SS insignia is very differant and there are two if my memory serves me well. :D

[Wintermute]

I couldn't tell what they were from the photo on this page.

[Colonel Jacka]

No mate just a single flash a very common military symbol. The tropic strawberries (US 25th Inf Division) in Hawaii have a lighting flash symbol for example.

[Faolan]

If you go back about 50 pages, you'll find an argument over that, 'Mute. It can be summed up with Col Jacka's signature quote and "here's a spoon and a bag of cement..."

Although I have to say on most of Sheeps helms, the flashes are a lot more vertical, these are almost horizontal by comparison.

[Wintermute]

Ok thanks for clarifying this for me :)

(BTW I prefer 'Mute, not Winter ;))

Wintermute

[sonofwaranddeath]

ya, the bolt really gives em that extra touch I think :)

[sheep]

Thanks for clearing up that old chestnut guys :)

Mister 'Mute, its nice to know you look in logs as well ;)

I'll be going to my GF's folks place for a couple of days, so there won't be any updates for a while, hope you all have a happy and safe xmas and that you got something you like from Santa.

I must say sheep this is quite a decent log you have laid yourself here!

Mr K,

Sorry mate play on games systems! Your comment was "Their camo looks epic (as in Epic 40k)." To which I replied "no 40K" for which I am sorry for such a poor joke!

[Mr Kibbles]

Oh ok, I get it now. lol. Its okay.

[dood515]

They look great, I love the cement/outer wall bit that is still left.

Also the guns look rustarific!

[jønke]

Stunning work as usual

[sheep]

Thanks every one :)

I thought that it was pretty funny Jacka :)

Painted this bad boy today, my mates shop got their "Black box" today, and i thought i'd give them a hand. got the new ravenors to do aswell. They go together really well, and i think that they'll see alot of use as Alpha warrior fodder too.

Any way pics.

[sheep]

Thanks guys, guess i should have put this guys in Xenos, but whatever :)

I recieved my airbrush in the mail 2 days ago, and it is beautiful, paints like a dream, an iwata Hp-C plus, uses less paint then my old one, does a better job, and can do finer lines, i can see alot of joy with this thing in the future and i reccommend it to anyone thats thinking of getting a moderately priced brush.

Anyway, did this to both of the vultures

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Vulture.jpg

Decals, washes, and pilots to do yet.

Cheers

Sheep

[Mr Kibbles]

Wow, nice Vulture, mate.

[Hadriel Caine]

oh yes! that Trygon is sublime. the paint job is more or less identical to the scheme used by my most regular opponent. will have to use this as reference when I paint his Space Hulk Broodlord for him!

[sheep]

Thanks guys :)

Been alittle busy lately with a mate staying with me on his hols, luckily he play 40k too so i've gotten some painting done. So i finished the plastic Ravenors for the shop that go with the trygon I finished a couple of days ago.

[razormasticator]

Sheep can I ask what color blue you used on the carapace? It looks like a darker and a lighter color...

[Kriegfreak]

Excellent Behemoth scheme man! Been a while since I've posted but been lurking in the Shadows. Been on the fence about getting an air-brush, though honestly its the air compressor that is holding me back. Glad to see your working with one, and thanks for a good brand suggestion.

[sheep]

Thanks boys;

Razor: The "blue" is actually hawk turquoise, done in 3 layers.

1. HT and black 1:2
2. HT
3. HT and white 1:1

Kriegfreak: Good to see you back then :) I can't recommend iwata highly enough, i spent less on my compressor then my brush, by a company called Delta. Had to buy an brass attachment so the new brushes hose would fit the compressor.

Cheers

Sheep

[Mega Nutz]

Great looking additions Sheep, the vulture is particularly impressive!!

[dood515]

WOO, sheep has a new airbrush, that means more great guard for us to look at.(ans apparently some tyranids, but hey, no log can be perfect).

I'm liking the leopard coloured vulture by the way.

[sheep]

Thanks guys, glad you liked it. I've been bitten by the bug, tyranids that is (and the flu :) )

And everyone has a raging hard on over the new tervigon, so ofcourse I need one lol.

Sheep I was doing a similar design, used the same Carpace (spore cloud) as yours as well.
I was thinking of doing my sacs more tear drop shaped if possible however.

Thanks everyone, well I sat up painting last nite, while the GF watched movies (IE slept, and then complained when i turned them off) and managed to knock this bloke/bitch over.

Haven't had a chance to add the afterbirth, not sure how, pva doesn't have the vicosity to maintain a shape, and i don't have any 2 part epoxy, so i'm going to have to put on my thinking cap before i add the finishing touches.

Also i couldn't in good conscience paint her bits pink lol.

Try experimenting with cellophane plastic wrap and glue.
Do you have any transparent paint?

[sheep]

Not a bad idea that, I only have clear red i think.

Cheers

Sheep

[Faolan]

Use the cellophane to make your shape, pour in the glue, let harden, remove.

For the transparent paint, make your own with 10:1 clear medium (ie gloss or matte, etc) and 1 part paint. If you want it less transparent, 5:1 should work too, just experiment a bit.

[Warhound666]

Nice! Very cool representation of the Tervigon and great painting. I've been wondering about ways to represent all the codex entries that don't have models and it's cool to see someone that's so quick to get a Tervigon up and running.
Congrats too on getting to help out on the black box. The Raveners and Trygon look excellent!

[iPaint]

Excellent work, sheep. Will you be doing a gloss finish on the sacs to give them that alien feel, or will it remain matte?

As for clear paint effects, would hot glue possibly work if you are looking for something that can maintain a shape?

~iPaint

[razormasticator]

Sheep I would be curious to any details you could give me as to how you pulled off that carapace vertical lines approach. Either your palette, the size of the brush etc. any methods or tricks?

That nid is absolutly the ugliest thing someone could ever imagine...Now I've a confirmation of what I long suspected: you're insane.

Hive Tyrant: I don't know I'm kinda scared

It'll get a gloss coat i think, hot glue could work, but i don't have one unfortunately.


Sheep I would be curious to any details you could give me as to how you pulled off that carapace vertical lines approach. Either your palette, the size of the brush etc. any methods or tricks?

Well its pretty simple really:
1. Hawk turquoise and black 50/50
2. HT
3. HT and skull white 50/50

Paint the first colour on roughly with a size 3 brush, making sure that there is some black left and that the clour goes on with a "spiky" edge. Next colour on with a size 2 same principle. And finally the lines go on last with a 5/0 brush, painted on perpendicular to the armour edge.

Hope that helps

Cheers

Thats ********** disgusting Sheep. I love it! :D the veins look so realistic!

Hey Sheep,

amazing tervigon there, looks spot on :-)
I have a question, since I don't have the codex yet:
What options are must-have for the Tervigon?
Since I want to build one, too, just seeing all these tervigons pop up makes me want to build one.
Does it have to take 4 Scything Talons etc.
A quick respond with some infos would help me very much :-),

now up to your next creation, you....sick hive mind ;-)

haha :-)
Keep it up,

[Ragsta]

Awesome Tervigon, Sheep, well done on the paintjob too. I think the gloss on the sacs will really top it off.

The options are pretty limited codex wide now, and yeah its gotta take 4 scy tals to start, or you can gice it crushing claws. the other options are adrenal glands, toxin sacs, acid blood, implant attack, toxic miasma, regeneration, and 2 psychic powers.

Hope that helps.

Going to be honest sheep as Im a massive fan of your stuff and Ive been eggerly awaiting this tervigon painted... i dont like it.

The yellow sacks look like pustules, not an amniotic sack, and whilst I can see what you were trying to do with the veins, the yellow means they dont work.

Please have a second crack at this... I know a lot of people like it but I know you can do better stuff. I'm sure it'll grow on me but at the moment the yellow stands out a mile.

[sheep]

Thanks for your honesty mate, I appreciate it, and i can see where you are coming from, however, i'm using a limited palette for the nids, and the yellow was the only option as far as colour choice goes.

Sorry to disappoint.

I agree with both you and Sheep on this one. For the sake of realism the amniotic sacks could have been painted differently, but sometimes limiting your color pallet for a more cohesive impression is more important. When included in the main army, I'm sure the Tervigon will look mighty fine :)

Also love the Vultures, I should really get one of those. And an airbrush, damnit.

[Vineas]

Airbrushes are such an under-utilized tool IMO. There to me still seems this stigma by modelers that an airbrush is "cheating".

It takes a lot more skill to use an airbrush than most people think. It's easier, true, when you get the hang of it and makes vehicles not as daunting but it's not like a primer can. Can't just pick it up, put paint in it and spray and expect good results. If anyone could airbrush like a top paid detailer working in a custom shop we'd all be making $60-80/hour doing it.

Sheep has skills. I need to get off my butt. Picked up the new Badger 105 Gravity Feed almost a month ago. It's still has yet to even have the airline hooked up to it.

Some amazing entries in here btw, so i'm not actually expecting to win, just happy to have been picked as one of the top 10, albeit at #10 lol.

Melchiah: Cheers mate, nah sorry never heard of it, but i'll look it up now.

The models sprayed two tone, top black, bottom white, then the tops sprayed with tausept oche, the whites touched up with skull white obviously, then the dots are added with tamiya german green i think, no paints with me atm sorry, apply decals, then apply a filter of bleached bone. Then weather to taste and paint the details.

Hope that helps :)

haha, nothing serious I hope!! You looking to make this a proper force, or something light and transportable to take with you? You'll have to give us a yell if your ever up this way mate.

Top notch work as always. Could we get a recipe for the metals? Love the way they came out.

Romanus: ta, i'll find out how serious soon :( I have alot of the AoBR orks tucked away, so i might make a go of it, esp since i've fallen in love with the new dredds and kans. If i'm headed up that way i'll def send you a PM :)

iPaint: thanks mate, the metal was just boltgun metal, washed with devlan mud, and highlighted with chainmail. Quick and easy, this will be a TT standard army, nothing too outrageous.

Right, right... TT standard...that what they calling "awesome" down under now? :cool:

Either way, the effect is awesome, and I may have to invest in some of these fabled GW washes.

That's some very nice orks! Not what I ordinarily expect from this log but the quality is a good as ever :) I think they need a little rust though, especially on the huge metal areas like the choppa!

They look great, the Boss is a beast! Gives me a few ideas for my own orks...

[spyko672]

[Colonel Jacka]

Ta Romanus, I am, but i broke myself and so my weekend work load is somewhat lighter, and my mate is a married member, so he has a house, and luxury of luxuries, space! Also no drill sgts inspecting his house, so it makes hobbies possible (hes also a LT lol)

Go easy om yourself Sheep long way to go yet! And that's what you get for being a young singley! :p

He has fallen under the sway of the foul xenos, I fear. We must point out to him that there is a new Ven Dread in plastic coming, as well as updated an Chimera and Basilisk.

Sheep, I picked up some of the Devlan Mud, and I must say, very cool effects you can do with the worn metal look. I've since started applying it to my Orks and the metals look 10x better than before. Excellent paint effect.
