About the Project
I really need to start finishing stuff, my Work in Progress table isn't full, and I never want it to be full. In fact I want to empty it. On it at the moment is; 40k, the Repulsor, might never get get used, it's stupidly expensive, but I want it painted. Also the Ravenwing Command figures, and a couple of Watchers for my Deathwing. Victory at Sea, I have more Destroyers, some Submarines, and MTBs. Blood Red Skies, I have three Bombers, so I'll finally be able to do scenarios other than dog fighting. Infinity, and even Dust Warfare,

This Project is Completed
Adding models, not finishing models.
I’m adding the Treason TAG, and alt pilot to the project, they’ve been at this level since the week after Uprising came out.
Treason TAGVictory at Sea
Getting back to the Victory at Sea stuff, what with my receiving Ark Royal, and the Royal Navy Planes.
I started by doing the base a dark Purple
Purple base.A drybrush.
Simple dry brush.A Blue wash.
Blue wash.Another drybrush.
More dry brushingThe gloss coat.
Gloss varnish.Watchers in the Dark part the end
Finished the Watchers.
Middle-Earth, done and dusted.
Celeborn and Haldir were added, and finished last weekend, and even placed in the cabinet with the rest of my Lothlorien force.
They had both been primed grey, for ages now, but knowing they both have a goodly amount of armour, I figured they probably should have been primed gloss black. So I roughly went over the armour in the gloss black. Metallics always work best over black, especially gloss. After the black I did the classic vallejo model air metallic steel 71.065, but hated it. So back to black I went, I dug out the ancient citadel chainmail, and dry-brushed it on, then a much lighter dry-brush of mithril silver, the rest was just paint by numbers following the closest colours I could find to the rest of the army. When it came to basing, I found that I had no more of the super old GW static grass, so I have to use grass tufts that were as close to the same colour, which is super annoying. I’m probably going to have to go through and add tufts to the rest of the army…
Treason TAG done
It’s been waiting for so long to be finished, and all I’m waiting for now is the bases to turn up, probably next week.
First up, the TAG needs some highlights
It also needs Perimter weapons
Everything is ready, waiting for the bases to arrive.
Treason TAGTreason TAG actually done
The bases get base coated in silver.
SilverI do a protective layer of a primer, just to protect the silver.
It is on the bottom of the base, and has a lot of contact with terrain and such.
After the primer cures, I even hit it with a gloss varnish, and matte coat too.
Blue~Everyone gets glued down.
Treason TAGBlack Knight Command
I was going to paint these guys next, I’m still waiting for the paint to do the Repulsor, but two of them had the wrong shoulder pads.
That’s the problem with buying 2nd hand models. I don’t regret buying them, they were so cheap, like almost half the price of one box, for nine.
Three with hammers, three with pistols, and the three command figures.
It was a mission getting those old pads off, but one of my club mates had left overs. I’ll get them off him on the weekend at club.
Getting repaired
