Hobby Mode



One down!

The hobby wheels are turning once again and just in time for the newly released 6th edition. I've certainly been idle for quite a while now (life and all that) but I'm very glad to finally be back.

Work continues on my Eldar, and with the new Allies rules, I'm jumping for joy at being able to include some Corsairs from the also fairly new Imperial Armour 11.

My preciousss...

Here I have some WIP conversions for the Corsairs. More to come!

Warwalkers WIP II

Awesomesauce!!

Finally some progress on my Warwalker. I've stuck with my original color scheme and am so far satisfied. Things started looking a lot better once I got more coats of white on the sucker and started on the details.

Still takes waaaay too long than I would want so I went ahead and picked up a cheap little airbrush to see if I can use it to paint the rest of my vehicles (mostly to lay down that darn white).

Still some work left to be done on this one and I'm thinking that when it's done, I'll start on my next infantry unit instead of another walker to keep things interesting. Stay tuned!

WIP Warwalkers and Painting White

Messy!!

A quick update on my progress...I've started work on some vehicles for the army.  I'm planning on having these be painted in my Craftworld's scheme, which is a white main color, red gems, and Hawk Turquoise details (stripes, logos, etc.).

I have honestly never worked with a color that is as fickle as white. It has taken MANY coats to get to where the mini is at now and it's still not where I would want it.  I've tried mixing in some Foundation Astronomican Grey to see if that helps with coverage and have so far liked the result, but it's still taking too long for my tastes.

I'm looking at coming up with a different technique so I can knock these out faster so any tips would be greatly appreciated.  A technique that sounds enticing is priming white then just lining-in with a grey or blue, but I'm afraid that will end up looking too flat.  Another is going crazy with an airbrush.

I might just opt for a different scheme altogether (maybe just switching the main color with the detail color...but that might be too much like the Iybraesil scheme).
