Vulcan Complete

This is my converted Vulcan mini from the other day, only now he is painted. Since I hadn't painted any power fists yet I also used the power fist as a test for a possible orange red color for the Sternguard squad helmets when I get to them. While I like the red/orange power fist, I am still not sure about using it for the sterguard heads.

Land Speeder #1 complete

Mike challenged me to a 500 point game on Thursday. Let's just say it gave me the motivation to finish my land speeder.

Oh, and I even got some smaller magnets in and magnetized the gunners and their weapons as well. No more paper clip solutions.

Vulcan is now Green

Vulcan Model WIP

I started working on converting my Vulcan model. After kit bashing a grey knight, and a commander box I added some plastic card flames, Chapterhouse bits, an old 2nd edition power fist, a tactical marine head and sacraficed a flamer to the model.

Next up is adding some green stuff scales. I plan on doing all of the back cape, plus his chest and the front cape as well. My goal was to make him look as close as possible to the 5th edition book drawing.

Speeder Painting Diary - Base Wash 1

Next step is to again use the tank brush to apply a layer of thraka green. This both gives the next layer of paint a lighter prime, but also helps to keep the full color of snot green coming next.

You can see that I liberally applied it, and that it is still a little wet. I will let this dry overnight.

Total time 15 minutes.

Next is to use a tank brush and liberally apply some watered (with future floor wax) down Citadel Knarloc Green.

Total time about 1 hour.

Speeder Painting Diary - Primed

Trying a step by step for something new. First thing is to prime in black like the rest of my space marine army.

Time 15 mins, plus another 15 for drying time.
