Afternoon guys,

Well in between World Cup games I’ve managed to get a little hobby done. I’ll be tackling the Knights later today, I want to spray in the sheer white/black panels. I’ve also (foolishly) started building a third.

My brother brought some cool hobby stuff with him so today we tried some of it out on a test piece for my piping. I wanted to see how chipping worked and also the oil-based paints that can be adjusted with turpentine. Overall, really pleased with what turned out to be a pretty quick paint job.

The process was pretty simple:

1. Undercoat with Chaos Black Spray.

2. Basecoat with Mournfang Brown Spray and then matte varnish.

3. Heavy coat of chipping medium airbrushed on.

4. Coat of Averland Sunset sprayed on.

5. Mix of Averland and White Scar airbrushed on.

6. Once dry, brushed with water and rubbed until paint chipped where I wanted it.

7. Metal parts were basecoated with Leadbelcher.

8. Leadbelcher was then washed with Nuln Oil and Aggrax Earthshade.

9. Whole piece was airbrushed with AK Streaking Grime and left to dry.

10. Using a cloth and cotton bud dipped in turpentine I cleaned the Streaking Grime off most of the piece.

11. Sponged on a light bit of Ironbreaker as a highlight. This was purposely done haphazardly.

 

Like I said, it was my first time messing around with these techniques and I’ll definitely be ordering in my own and revisiting my scenery.

Love the dreads man, I have a (very) fledgling Death Company that I want to get a Leviathan for and turn it into a Furioso.

Yellow is the paint from Hell and I wouldn’t have touched it without an airbrush. For pale shades it just works wonders.

 

Questions….

1. Honestly cant answer this as I’m in the middle of discovering loads of new ones.

2. mats are something I want to get more of. Really like the Badlands one I have from Gamemat.eu.

3. Army boxes are great and when they come with rules like the GW ‘Get Started’ boxes they really are the best place to start with an army.

For music today, I’ll share with you some of my favourite cover versions.
