The Warhammer Models Thread III: A Brush With Death
Where last we left off, people were discussing stripping paint from models.

I would imagine it's a bit bigger than most PR toys...

Looks a bit bland compared to other Farseers, really. But I like the armour design.

Re: The Warhammer Models Thread II: A Brush With Death
Seeing as people are posting pics from last thread... here are the few photos I took where you could see the models!

Re: The Warhammer Models Thread II: A Brush With Death
Wasn't II the last thread?
Awesome ork fex, Jair. The goblin is a really nice touch.
A question, if I may: Is there any reason I can't drill out a large cannon barrel and maybe glue a little shell at the bottom to keep there from being just a big flat patch at the bottom? I've only ever seen relatively small guns being drilled out, and I'm looking at getting a model I think might look good with a drilled out cannon (Darius, from Warmachine) if there isn't some structural reason not to do so.

Re: The Warhammer Models Thread II: A Brush With Death
Darius being pewter will make it harder, but I have drilled out the bigger cannon of the defender. Shouldn't be impossible.

Re: The Warhammer Models Thread II: A Brush With Death
May want to edit this thread's title to say Thread III instead of Thread II, Zorg.
I think the problem is the posture. Everything else is perfectly fine - more than that, even, I'd say - but the posture is rather bland and non-dynamic.
I may as well shamelessly use this opportunity to re-post my own Farseer, as I think it was kinda lost in the whole "stripping of models"-discussion.

Re: The Warhammer Models Thread II: A Brush With Death
I like the blending on the jet bike and lance. Was that done free hand?

Re: The Warhammer Models Thread II: A Brush With Death
To answer your concerns:
-Since I use a hand press, I didn't need a clamp or foam buffering.
-Pewter is soft enough that as long as you go slow (use low rpm) You don't need lubrication to prevent warping (although it still helps).
-Any drill designed for wood will be sturdy enough for the pewter/lead models.
If go to do it, start much smaller then you need and widen it with bigger drill bits in succession. I only done it a few times, others might have better instructions.Last edited by Gruffard; 2011-04-29 at 09:19 PM.

Re: The Warhammer Models Thread II: A Brush With Death
My mind is vexed. I'm currently practicing my painting skills on space marines from the Assault on Black Reach starter box and I had planned to stat a "real" army of Dark Eldar after I'd gained some more experience painting, but now I'm tempted to switch to Warhammer Fantasy instead (mostly because I might actually get to use those miniatues as well in my D&D games), what to do?

Re: The Warhammer Models Thread II: A Brush With Death
I just bought some army painter spraypaint and seem to have forgotten how to open the darn cans since the last time I bought one.

Re: The Warhammer Models Thread II: A Brush With Death
Yeah, it was freehand.
On the jetbike, it was done by stippling, just like on my Fire Prism (by now, I have two Fire Prisms as well as a dozen guardian jetbikes in the same style). On the "lance" (actually a self-made Singing Spear) it was done by simply painting with both different colours on two adjacent spots of the lance at a time, and then blending them together by brushing over them before they could dry, same as how I did all my Wood Elves.
I'll be the first one to admit that I tend to be rather conservative when it comes to shading.LGBTitP Supporter

Re: The Warhammer Models Thread II: A Brush With Death
I actually plan to practice just that on the Grey Knights I will be working on now; I intend some pretty heavy shading/highlighting work on those.
Yeah, I know; I still plan to go over all of my models once and, firstly, fix all the eyes (I kinda forgot that step on the first dozen models or so, and then, after I'd realized it, I didn't feel like correcting it on all of them, so I'll do it at some future point in one go; I also intend to add some more details to their bases, grass mostly.LGBTitP Supporter

Re: The Warhammer Models Thread II: A Brush With Death

on a more economic note since you already have the WH40K start with it, see if you like it. then see where you want to go from there.
i love army painter, but i hate those lids...

Re: The Warhammer Models Thread III: A Brush With Death
My current 'plan'/resolution is to paint one thing from my choice army and then one thing from anywhere else.
The trouble with Warhammer Fantasy is while having a few Dark Elves or Chaos Warriors or Skeletons is handy for D&D and whatever else - a unit of troops in that game requires you to paint over 15 of one thing.
So whatever army you collect you'll be bored of the figures after the first regiment.Last edited by Tarinaky; 2011-04-30 at 01:49 PM.

Re: The Warhammer Models Thread III: A Brush With Death
Okay I have a pretty good idea of the sorts of things I'd do for various BA dreads now.
For Death company one done up with a long trailing hair and Zangetsu paint scheme and a second with one arm being a converted force weapon done up like a lance, with a cloak and Gloucester paint scheme.
For Furiosos
-Guren paint cheme on one with 2 blood talons/fists.
-Mordred paint scheme for one with the big arm cannon
-Galahad paint scheme for the Libby, replacing the standard force weapon with a Soul Grinder's sword.
In general using converted fronts so they all have heads (likely using Librarian/DC/Venerable sarcophogi as the base for them) and if I ever go for Storm ravens would likely go for an orange and green paint scheme in the styl of the Siegried

Re: The Warhammer Models Thread III: A Brush With Death
Oh, right. The Lawn chairs. My camera is much easier to work with in natural light, and the lawn chairs were the only flat surface available.
And I do have previous attempts at painting somewhere from around that age, it's just I never had the patience to finish. One thing that's nice about necrons; The base is all one color.Steam ID: The Great Squark
