@mage groovy, will post what I can ?
so Ragnar is pretty much done for base colours, next step will be tidying up before the wash stage then I’ll be going back to give him some extra “oomph”. The Contemptor needs some bolt gun metal, then again a tidy before the wash stage. I’m thinking he’ll get Agrax & Nuln oil as I want it to look darker than everyone else – there’s some fluff that the Wolves consider Contemptors to be cursed and ill omens so I’m aiming for a more sinister look…
Yeah, the Steam challenge is fun. It’s a good excuse to load up some games that have just been sat in the library to get a feel for how they play. So far I’ve tried the opening of Tyranny (RPG from the bods at Obsidian where you are part of The Overlords army), Godeater 2 (gonzo J-actioner in the Monster Hunter mold, has a nuts anime…) and reloaded Audiosurf to see what runs my current music collection would build ?
Deathwatch – yeah, I used a primer I picked up at Salute that was supposed to be a cheaper alternative to GW that for the same results. It may have been me not shaking it enough but coverage ranged from excellent to grainy & powdery on the same mini. Should probably have used one model as a test first, but live & learn ?
The kit is 1/144 representation of the classic RX-78-2 from Mobile Suit Gundam, in Bandai’s Real Grade (or RG) format. RG is designed as the premium kit at this scale, and has been used this showcase a number of suits from across the Gundam franchise. This was s my first attempt at one of these kits and I’m looking forward to it after mainly building High Grade kits.
Army V is Corvus Bellis official (free) online army building tool that is linked to their ITS system. I’ve actually got 500+ points for all the factions except Tohaa, and all of those are painted except for Combined. I’ve got the list of missions we are going to play (300pt Limited) so might build some lists in each faction to see what I like the look of. Sorely tempted to try and fit a TAG in somewhere though ?
