Battle Barge and Space Marines are looking great!

I did the panel highlighting this week on the Battle Barge (there definitely were a lot of panels...) and also the first layer of black highlight. Another black highlight, the metal and a wash is pretty much what I have left I think. Unless anyone has any other suggestions.


I forgot my paints for the Tech-Marines so only got to work on the Librarians Monday. I just need to finish up their bases.


Finally, I also converted arms for my Warlord to use the Reaver weapons. What do you guys think?

I think you've done a nice, job, but I'm a bit puzzled as to why. The Warlord already comes with a perfectly good Volcano Cannon and Gatling Blaster. What advantage is there to replacing them with the ones from the Reaver?

None, other than I think they look better than the blocky metal ones and I had them spare since I'm making TLD arms for the Reaver.

The Tech-marines are finally done and the Librarians are based. Getting these done took way too long, given their size.


I also finished my Battle Barge this week. This brought me over 8k worth of painted Marines, I'm now at 8300 points total. Only 600 left to go (3 THawks).




I also continued to mess around with my Command Horizon infantry and GZG APCs. I like how they are coming out. I've got some Silfor tufts on the way as well, I think I'm going to try them out on these guys before I use it on the Marines.


And finally, I started painting the Warlord. The metal needs a wash and another highlight, after that it's onto the plates.

Place fist here, bro.

HA HA HA

thats totally awesome !!!

you're quite the inspiration Dave. Perhaps we'll have to handicap you at NEATIII.5 by forcing you to play with unpainted minis

Just wish I had the time to do the same to my army, though this and the (potentially and hopefully) upcoming NEATIII.5 should provide another boost to my painting.

Thanks guys. Matt, what were you thinking? Have me push around bottle caps as miniatures and flip a coin instead of roll a die? Heads its a 1, tails its a 2?

I got my Silfor grass tufts in this week. These are the early autumn, two tone tufts in 2-4mm. I think they work great for small bushes at this scale. I managed to finish up my other APCs this week and started on the infantry's skin.


Most of my time was spent on this guy. I'm still not sure how I'm going to paint the weapon casings (waffling between blue and black, thoughts?), the weapon's armor plating (blue or yellow) and the head (again blue or yellow). I think I'm going to go back and have the trim metal though, there just seems to be too much blue.



I finished building these guys this week too, they'll be getting some paint once I figure out how to paint the Warlord.


And these are the Silfor late autumn tufts I plan on using for my Subjugators. What do you guys think? Is it deserty/dry-landy enough for you?


Finally, I also manage to track down the metal mesh I saw awhile ago and made some camo netting with it. What do you think?

well, having you roll only as high as a 2 would make a pleasant change, might have a chance of you actually failing an activation for once..

I got some of the detail work done on the infantry last week. I just need to finish the highlight on the khaki, touch up the green and black, and do the bases. I'm looking forward to seeing what a formation looks like with the Silfor tufts.


I also did the highlights on the Warlord. I think I'm going to go back and clean them up some more though. Sorry for the glare, the citadel washes give everything a sheen that makes it difficult to photograph.
