More black paint

Hello.
The first free Sunday for a long time. All forward. Construction of the house progressed, my brother in law got married, children grow. The next summer came to an end.
It is time to show off some new acquisitions in my army of dark angels.
In a previous post I wrote about the second model exclusive for dark angels - Nephilim jetfighter / dark talon. Here are some pictures of my model, glued as Nephilim jetfighter, from different phases of painting.

 

 

And some closeups of the base.

 

 

Also recently I managed to buy occasionally, from a neighbor several smaller models.

Dark vengeance starter set, Deathwing knights and terminators from deathwing command.

So number of my bikes increases to 6, terminators to 15 and deathwing knigts to 10.

I decided we do not need two formations of 3 motors, only one larger. So, one sergeant of ravenwing  motorcyclists was out.

 Because in the models that I bought, was also limited chaplain Seraphicus, I decided to do conversions on a motorcycle.

  Itwas enough to cut in half the sergeant and chaplain and swap the upper halfs.

Here are the results :

 

And nearly finished...

Thats all. I hope you like it.  Now i need to finish five more motorbikes. Need more black paint ...

Paint it black

Hello. 

          With the money that I saved by quiting smoking, I bought some models to improve my army of Dark Angels. In the light of the new Codex, which gives preference to Ravenwing, I decided to buy exclusive models that only Dark Angels have on their lists.

 

Assembling of both models took about 4 hours. Without any magnetization, because Landspeeder does not require, and  a plane, I knew in what Version I want.

And now painting ... It is hard to think of something in the model that is intended to be all black ...

 Brings us to the old hit ...

 

 After the gluing the two models, both prophylactically I sprayed with black spray paint from the Army painter.

 I received two perfect black body. And what's next ?

 In fact, it could expose them on the table already at this point. They were to be all black? and they are.

 But I guess that was not the point. The first to the workshop went Landspeeder.

A little dry brushing with irreplaceable astronomican gray (what will I do when it ends?) Emerged all the details of the model.

Model has two versions, both wonderful. The first is a version with kind of a chapel on top. Darkshroud. 

As you can see from the pictures, all black model is not a completely black.

And the second version of the model, with two plasma guns.

 Doing both versions does not even require the magnetization

 Now murdering another model that was black, but not completely.

Skitarii Rangers painting phototutorial

Welcome. 


In Poland is high summer, when the temperature is 33 degrees and there is no way to paint models. For over a two months I get tired of these Skitarii Rangers, and still two of them are not even started.
When painting, I took some pictures, so try to make them a little tutorial.

 At the first, of course, we should prime model. We use for this a single color paint.
 This may be the original primer, such as Citadel Imperial Primer, or any single color, matching the rest of the colors used later on the model. I decided on Abaddon Black, due to the large number of metal / mechanical parts of the model. the undercoating have done a brush, not spray so as not to flood the details.

 

Then, all metal and mechanical part, dry brush with brown paint. I used to this Oak Brown from the  Armypainter warpaints palette, but it can be any dark brown paint.

Then the same parts, paint the same technique we only use gold paint. For me it was P3 Burnished gold, but other gold/coppeer paint are also good for this step. Just be sure to not be too bright.

Now they look like golden army soldiers from Hellboy: Golden Army :P

Time to change this. Lets paint carefully coats in red. Mephiston red is the most suitable for this.
It allows you later lighten with other reds and oranges.

The inside of the coat, paint with ivory paint.
I use p3 Jack Bone because it is thin and well covers, but citadel paints are also good for this.

In fact, we already have the basics, now details. Drybrush (again) all metals with Boltgun metal, paint eyes with bright green paint.

 
To to imitate flashes of electricity, I used the Temple Guard Blue. Cables on his chest, the coils on the backpack, connectors on the legs and rifle parts.

 To enhance the effect, Citadel has a special line of paints - glazes. Here I used blue - Guiliman Blue. To highlight eyes, Vallejo Fluorescent green.

And that's basically the end of the tutorial, because I have no more photos. I did not make such a tutorial never before. I hope it was helpfull and you like it. Next time i take better camera, and try to explain details. At end some photos of others of my Skitarii.

Scrapyard bases tutorial.

Hello.

         My Skitarii Rangers didnt arrived yet (its two weeks since I ordered), so I've made little tutorial,
how to make fast and easy scrapyard themed bases.

        The idea was simple. Bases are built on massive cogwheel which is similar to machanicum sign.
On that i need to put some scraps and gears, and then stick my servitors.
Heres some photos of bases. They need some painting and finishing.

And a video tutorial how to do that.

Hello.

After losing a few battles, I found that my Dark Angels need a strong ally.
It so happened that just GW announced the arrival of a new army - Adeptus Mechanikum Skitarii. As soon as possible, I preordered a Skitarii Rangers. Wonderful 10 models, with promising statistics. When the shipment arrived to me a few days later, we found that in addition to paints, brush and grass instead of the Rangers is Balistari Ironstrider. Initially I wanted to exchange incorrectly sent model, but on reflection, I decided to keep it.

       The model is great, it has a lot of options gluing and painting.
Like the other sets from the Skitarii army. I put video below from unboxing the set.

Assembling the model was also a real pleasure.
In spite of only 2 frames with parts, it was really a lot of them out there. All the time I wondered how magnetize model to use it in a number of options.
Eventually I gave up and glued it as Balistarii Ironstrider with autocannons.
Immediately primed model and performed an appropriate base using structural paste.
     
       I decided to paint the model using the advices in the tutorial presented by Awaken Realms. Magnificent studio from Poland. Heres the WIP photos.

 And here with shading and decals added.

I still have a little to paint, and already ordered Rangers are on the way.


 I looked at the codex and Skitarii seem to be a very good ally.
Ironstrider itself has enormous firepower. and the Rangers and their Arquebus are awesome. Here the stats for that Rangers special gun ...

And here stats for Ironstrider:
