Warhammer 40k - Painting Imperial Guard - Baneblade

 Hey mates!

This time around am sharing a older project that I started working on 5 months ago.

This model is an Imperial Guard Baneblade.

Eldar Jetbikes (and Fire Prism) Done!

Fayte here!

I took on a fairly crazy project (well, one with kids and a job) to paint two Farseers, nine jetbikes, and one Fire Prism (and touch up another one).

It was a pretty crazy project to say the least. I spent the better part of my free time over three weeks to get it all done, and I can say that I got 99% of it done! Go me!

More after the jump.

Hey Mates!

Demorte here working on another commission project.

This is actually becoming more regular now. :)

Jetbikes! Jetbikes everywhere!

Fayte here!

Over the course of a few months, I've been gathering jetbikes for my Eldar force. Now, this has been an interesting position for me to finally jump onto the jetbike train. So, come with me for a journey that is needing to be done quickly and well!

Warhammer 40k Painting - Logan Grimnar Commission WIP

Commission: Logan Grimnar - WIP

Fayte here!

I am working on a commission job for my father, actually. He wanted a display model of his choice painted up to the best I have. Seems to be an every other year desire of his! But, he chose Logan Grimnar, and what a challenging model to paint! Wow!

"There are but two answers to the question of Humanity's survival in the face of a hostile cosmos; overwhelming force and the will to use it." Lufgt Huron, Chapter Master--

At a tournament just this passed weekend, I actually lost best overall player to someone that didn't paint his army. Me and this person where point for point in every area except paint, I ended up losing by paint score, myself painted army vs his commissioned army.

Space Wolves Painting Update - Two more Models

Hey mates!

Got another update on the space wolves test models!

Managed to get a decent paint session in yesterday after work, been really stressing over the final scheme for my wolves. Will explain more as to why!

Space Wolves Painting Update - Lone Wolf Challenge!

 Hey Mates!

Got a update on the Space Wolves!

First off, this is actually a joint scheme, both myself and Fayte teamed up over Memorial Day weekend to master craft the scheme for our Space Wolves projects.

Fayte is doing a commission for his Papa, and I am building a 3rd army in my Space Wolves. Hail the Imperium!

The 3 test models, thus far! (Left and right ones done by me, the middle by Fayte.)

Knight Atrapos - Finished

Fayte here!

So I did it, I finished off the Knight and handed it over to my client! Out of my hands and done. Thankfully I learned some things from the model, but one of the biggest ones was that I can, in fact, speed paint something with pretty good quality. But, without further adieu...

LoW Knight Atrapos

WIP - Knight Atrapos Part 3

Fayte here!

Looks like things have come together nicely for the Knight. Speeding along, I fixed the green and gave a quick highlight color to blend it. It really saved my butt knowing I had a color in my drawer that would cover it! *whew*

When we last saw our hero...

Thankfully, I caught the bug to really dive into the model and get to work. I had a Friday off, so I saw it as a good opportunity to work hard on Thursday night and Friday to really make things shine. I pulled out my Vallejo Liquid Gold - Old Gold paint and went for the gold trim....and found it was dead. Yep, I tried painting with it, and it was thick and old.

Well, time to grab that new paint! In no time I had gotten that trim and moved onto some copper areas, pull out my Vallejo Liquid Gold - Copper aaaaaand! Dead.

It even oxidized!

Well, that's not good! In any case, some Tinny Tin saved my butt and I cruised along into the realm of decals and detail work. And in no time....

Oil wash: Unlocked

Chicken Walker!

Almost....there.....

Next post will be the finished product! Weathering powders and OSL effects still to come.
