Title: Dread's Anything and everything
Post by: Dread on December 20, 2015, 01:45:37 PM
Well it now begins. Thanks to Cavalier inspiring me, I shall commence work on my own army. I'll start with my blasts from the past. I've had them a long time and get to utilize them along with my firestorm conversion. I will pics as I come up with them. Now I need to come up with a cool name for them.

And it begins with a freaking bang! Damn man you're all geared up for Corsair action. I'm super jealous of your vehicle collection... Are you gonna rock these colors you've got here or do something different? I know you were toying with new paint schemes awhile back. Either way its gonna rock. Can't wait to see where this goes!

Thanks bud. I've already got so much done with that scheme so if it ain't broke, ya know.

Forgot this lil puppy earlier.

I love the scheme Dread.  It's very alien and exotic.  Perfect for the eldar!  :)

Post by: Cavalier on December 21, 2015, 06:41:38 AM
Right on man. I think it works very well. Its very wild and vibrant perfect for Corsairs. I'll never forget the first time I saw that scheme on an Eldar Vyper in the White Dwarf where Sisters debuted (and my old store owner won 2 Golden Demons!) I've loved it ever since. Right on!

Post by: Dread on December 21, 2015, 08:58:13 AM
Thanks as always guys. This is the scheme I've been using since 2nd edition. The idea was the cooling of lava from white hot to red cooling down. The crack effect is bigger on the white to show slower cooling down and smaller at the back for more.

Post by: Irisado on December 23, 2015, 06:59:07 AM
I've always liked that red to yellow part of your colour scheme.  It's somewhat reminiscent of that GW's painters used for the original Fire Dragon Exarch in the old Alaitoc studio army.  I like a bit of nostalgia now and again :).

Post by: Dread on December 24, 2015, 01:12:40 AM
Thanks. Hopefully I will get to some more over the holiday. I started my prince. He is the custom model I made for Baron Sathonyx and will count as jet pack. Also loving this scheme on a DE and have some reavers bike set up to put dark lance on then they will get the treatment. Until the Merry Christmas!

That does look very cluttered, but in a very good way.  The Nightspinner is the stand out for me.  The colour of the monofilament weaponry contrasts very well with your colour scheme.

Post by: Cavalier on December 26, 2015, 11:54:20 AM
Looking very nice Dread. The bikes are looking killer and it looks like your army is very quickly taking shape! Any idea on how you are going to kit-out your bikes? I've got a couple of lists in the works... nothing special on mine yet but I'm very interested in mounting a bright lance or two on them. Any thoughts on the various options?
Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Dread on December 26, 2015, 09:31:40 PM
Thanks Irisado, I still have work to do on it but I've always liked that blue.

Cavalier I'm gonna make 4 reavers bikes with dark lances, bits left over from my razorwing to void raven kit bash. Glued one last night to see how it looks and really like it. The ones I've started are Las and shur cannon.i got 3 for Christmas that in gonna mix reavers parts with to mix it up. Maybe some splinter cannons, I think that's an option.

I will update soon, until then, have a great time.

Now see Cav, all that time I was going nuts for a paint scheme on my DE, I should have just used my Elder scheme. I would of had so much painted now.

Post by: Cavalier on December 28, 2015, 06:52:54 AM
Looking very good Dread. The metallics on the jetbike are pretty crazy! I hear ya on unifying the look of your DE with your Eldar. I'm really reaping the benefits now as I can run my kitbashed Wyches and counts-as Harlies as Malevolents or Voidstorm squads.

Two questions: Are you adding Crimson Death to your force? If so you cheesy.... just kidding I'm going to add it to mine as well! Also what are the falcon hulls for? More Nightspinners?

Your making great progress Dread and doing it in style. Keep it up my man I can't wait to see this army hit the table!
Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Dread on December 28, 2015, 12:47:38 PM
Thanks. They are fire prisms. The metallic is going away to sport the scheme. Its just crazy doing that to the DE but it works so perfect.

So today got guardians and storm upgrade. I've had the wyches for awhile. Now with these and my bits box, I should be able to do some cool kit bashing. Pics soon

Digging through boxes today and found these. Built them years ago.
Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Cavalier on January 16, 2016, 07:53:11 AM
Hell yeah! Perfect pick-up Dread. Those Dark Eldar warrior and Wych kits go a LONG way. Hold on to every little bit because you never know when you'll need them. I seriously love the Wych kit, those running legs can make any model go from static to dynamic. Whats the first unit you're gonna make? Voidstorm, Malevolents?

Love the old school stormies. I buy up those Eldar powerfists whenever I can on ebay they are seriously my favorite eldar bit of all time. Anytime I get the chance to incorporate one (as Agonizers or Scorpions claw) its a special day for my army. Heheheh I love this stuff... anyway Dread looking great my man can't wait to see what unit you are gonna make!
Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Dread on March 26, 2016, 04:31:56 PM
And so, been working on other things, and thought I would post some pics as per Cavs rrequest. Also Cav, I found lots more elder flame and meltas and power fists in my bits so you will be seeing lots of those soon with kit bashed wyches, guardians and converted hellions used as corsair jetpack troops. For now my Imperial Knights with skitarii allies.

I wanted to be able to change weapons out so came up with a way to interlock without magnets. I cut out tabs on shoulder joint and weapon and press and turn viola.

Wow excellent, excellent stuff Dread. That Knight with turqouise plating is freaking INCREDIBLE. Such an eye-catching execution on that paint job and the posing is really menacing. The Magos is really nice too, ultra clean execution and super nice weathering on the robes.

Also love the bits my man. Those 2nd ed Eldar bits are my favorite bits of all time.

Anyways great stuff man, awesome to see the new army. Keep it up Dread I love it.

Nope, just lighter shades of purple. The trim will be silver but the w bronze might look better trim wise. Thanks

I've also been going back to my eldar some. Its always nice that they , GW, gives us so many extras in the kits that sometimes you just wonder what to do with them. Some people ebay or trade but I just hold on to them. Then I get a spark and reserct some old falcon models and get out the mold putty and resin and the next thing ya know, another prism and night spinner.

Also finally bought a void raven kit. Check this, mine that I converted years ago is 7n primer.

Post by: Cavalier on April 23, 2016, 07:18:32 AM
Damn thats a beastly cohort of Knights man. Like the weathering a lot. Although I think it would be sweet if bases could use some wreckage or debris of some sort. The new red and black Knight is looking particularly imposing.

Thats a huge mess of bikes you got there too! I really need to get a couple more bike kits so I can finish some of my units. I never buy enough at the outset.

The Void Raven thing is really crazy too. I like the longer lances on your converted one a lot more. They gave them stubby little lances on the VR and the Crimson Hunter and I really hate it. While the Void Raven is WAY over priced its actually a pretty decent unit IMO.

Anyway great stuff man and keep rolling with those Eldar!

Post by: Dread on May 2, 2016, 08:03:47 PM
Thanks as always. Even tho we don't play age of sukmar, I still have a small gaming group that still plays 8th ed fantasy. I still love the models and own several armies. Lately we started a campaign which got my juices flowing so started my conversion for my vamp lord on aabyessal terror. Here's the beginnings.

I've been looking at how the people behind the Ninth Age have updated Warhammer to see whether it has been made more streamlined.  The army book for Vampire Counts looks quite promising, but I still need to read the core rules.

Speaking of things looking promising, your conversion looks as though it's going to be very good.  I also like the idea of using the female Vampire Lord model in this conversion, as most vampires riding monsters or steeds have tended to be male, based on GW's previous preference for male vampire models.  As a result, this has the potential to be a more original approach.  I'm looking forward to see how this progresses.
Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Dread on May 3, 2016, 05:39:08 PM
Thanks Irisado. We've been talking about 9th age too. Have it downloaded but haven't read much yet.

So here they are as of right now. My conundrum is how to put them on the base. Should I use a coat hanger and drill holes? Use the long tail and Attach it to the side of one of the pedastals? Any suggestions are welcome. I have to do it tomorrow night because she will be in a battle Thursday night.

Also, I have all of the fulcrums from the storm of magic just collecting dust, so great fantasy base material. The new fantasy stuff only comes with round bases so thank goodness I have build your own movement tray left oversaw to use to make what I needed.

Post by: Irisado on May 3, 2016, 05:46:32 PM
I was going to say that you would have a challenge on your hands with the painting until I read your last comment :D.  I'd say that using the long tail to attach it to the side would look rather dramatic, but I'm not expert when it comes to modelling, so I don't know how easy that would be to accomplish.
Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Dread on May 3, 2016, 05:55:34 PM
It would be fairly easy and since the actual model is made to balance on the tail, well you know. However, the altered nid wings make it a bit heavier. I really don't want a black pole jutting up from the base so may go with the tail. Gonna ponder it and finish the rest tonight. I am so amped about this one, been in my head for awhile now. Good to finally get it happening even if it slows my paint and conversion work on corsairs and knights.

Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Dread on May 4, 2016, 04:43:44 PM
Thanks. The break down is the Vampires Mortarch kit with hive tyrant wings, bits from the ghouls kit, her body and head is from the coven throne kit and a fulcrum for the base. Its a good thing to hang on to left overs, I have so much from both games, but you know that already. So now i have to get my tired butt in the hobby room and finish the build part. 8)

That looks really imposing and impressive.  I think that balancing the model on the tail has worked out extremely well.  The coat hanger wire would have looked out of place, so you've definitely made the right decision.

Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Dread on May 7, 2016, 12:30:36 AM
Thanks guys! This is the long and thought out one.

As for the basing, I plan on gravel and stones with some tall grass growing in different spots. Out side the little cave entrance with the ghoul will be variuos bones from his prey and some bloody flesh looking deposits. May even be some other things but I don't want it to get to busy.

Lately I've been all over the place. Trying to do lots of different things. I get hyped about a model then get so far and stop. I know we all go thru this but now I've hit that that platu with an eldar model. The autarch with a banshee mask, been waiting forever so it could be WYSIWYG. Well, the waiting is over. I'm using my favorite second generation bansee, with new jetbike and autarch laser Lance. Here is the beginning pic.

I feel like the banshee mask should be on a female so in my corsair's, she will be a princess.

She is called a bloodweaver night witch from Warmachine. I haven't looked at that line of models in a long time but when I saw her at the store, I thought perfect for my barbarian in our quest game we're about to start. Also wanted her to be kinda majestic, noble, strong and the dragons head just really made sense. Just as excited about her as my vamp on her ride but easier and faster to paint.

Just have some touch ups on them and finish the bases. Still not 100% on the transfers. I did some others first just in white but didn't like them. The bikes I really want a stealth look and the symbol to stand out to show the dragons attack, like striking fear into the enemy.

Phenomenal work Dread. The chequer pattern on the loin cloth is brilliantly executed and must have been a complete bugger to paint because of the folds. I like the way you have painted the leggings and hair as well. Everything about this model screams Harlequin.

Fantastic work Dread. The posing of the mini is fantastic and the end result is just so dynamic as a result. I'm glad that you found such a good solution to the problem of static builds, it can do so much to bring an army to life. Loving the eyes as well!

Great stuff.
Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Dread on November 20, 2016, 11:26:52 PM
Thanks Looshkin. I have just a little left to do on her.

Now, you know how you start something a long while back and not perfectly happy with it. Well back when the 5th ed. DE codex came out I wanted a void raven so bad but only had a description of it and no model so I made my own. Wasn't real happy with the outcome even tho I had painted and finished it. Later I stripped it and worked the nose of over but not real satisfied. I took some plastic spoons and tried to create an upper and lower camopy, wouldnt work so put it up. Then at the beginning of this year I bought a kit for one. I assembled it up to the point the glass was all that was left...finally last night I figured it out what needed to be done. So got out the mold maker and resin and here are the fruits of my labor.

Now I can prime and repaint one of my favorite conversions I've ever done.

Small tidbit. Besides models and gaming, I'm a very active hotrod builder also. My latest is a 48 Chevy coupe. Here is one of my dash inserts...

So since painting is on a back burner for now, again, I couldn't help but get the new canoness model. I've tried thru the years to make one myself and finally, 2 years after I sold my army, they make her. So the little wheels in my head started spinning and my first add to my 5th and final AS army is this Exorcist. Not done yet, have to make dozer blade but anyhow here is the beginning.

Wow thats crazy cool Dread. Did you make those bits yourself? They look excellent!

I want a sisters army so freaking bad! If my Dark Angels get any kind of ally its gonna be Sisters.

Sorry your hands aren't letting you paint the way you want to man... I truly am sorry about that bud. Maybe you could try your hand at an airbrush approach and just picking out critical details? I've seen people have a very minimalist approach to their painting that way and have tremendous results! I know you've probably had a million offers advice, but seriously bud I'm sorry you can't hobby the way you want to. Anyway bro I hope you have a great Christmas!

Also check out GW's facebook for some insights into the Sisters... you are gonna be stoked!

Thanks Cav. All the Ivory looking pieces are resin. I made molds years ago and now I get to use them again. As for my hands, I hope to see the doc pretty soon and find out what is what,arthritis I think but hope it is due to one of my meds. I really enjoy looking at everyone's work and tho I don't get to comment on a lot of them, it gives me a smile seeing the elevation that most acheive, whether simple basic colors or the deep intense shadowing and highlights. Watching those who keep one of my favorite hobbies alive.

That's an awesome conversion!
I've never been much of a fan of the organ pipes exorcist, always looked a bit stupid to me! I've seen a few with proper missile launchers like yours and they just look so much better  8)
Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Dread on December 21, 2016, 09:17:56 PM
Thanks AP. I feel the same way. The idea of the organ is a good one but I think it just really doesn't look right on the battle field, more like it belongs in a church house. A whirlwind style looks more battle worthy in my book and the launcher from the IK just screamed it to me.

Sick... that model is incredible. I was really tempted to pick up that set the other day. I've been trying to convince my brother to give some of these guys a whirl in his IG list... perhaps when I get the book he'll be convinced.

Anyway the model looks sick. Love the base too, can't wait to see it painted

Such an awesome mini, and you've made it look double awesome with that cork base. Really elevates the model to 'F U' status!

I think I'm going to pick up the set of minis, as they're frankly awesome. I might have to do Cawl as about 12 sub assemblies though! So many fiddly bits!!

Thanks guys. I am a hotrodder. I'm actually building a 48 Chevy coupe at the moment. I got her 2 and half years ago and shortly after went thru my cancer surgery. It's slow going plus dividing hobbies, family and work is a juggling act of its self.

Sweet! That's going to be really cool when it's done :) not that it's not really cool now of course, I've always been more fascinated by a project car than the finished article anyway ;)

Here's what my Spit looks like at the moment: http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--DPrHBymU--/c_scale,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/cd9nptismvxgsod0kisr.jpg (http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--DPrHBymU--/c_scale)

Completely stripped and on a home-made collapsible A-Frame :)

Being a hotrodder you might appreciate the general plan for this. 1.3l I4 out, 2.5l I6 in with a cam, porting and mechanical fuel injection. I also saw a thread somewhere where a chap welded the body of his Model A to the chassis and thought 'huh, why don't I try that', alongside welding on a steel hardtop. It's in the final stages of me boxing in the underside then the welding's done!

Back on topic, I've just taken a trip through the rest of your project thread (can't believe I hadn't done that before!) and I love your Corsairs :) Fantastic paint scheme, and the mix-and-match of CWE and DE bits is just right :)

Liking the Shadowseer floating above the ground too :)

Glad you're on the mend!

A few years back I made a Lady Malys conversion and shortly after....gone, poof! So nessissity being the mother of invention, (can't afford models), I dusted her off and she is now Yvraine. Just started and now to find a cat of some kind...anyhow, here is the beginning.

Dang Dread you've been doing some work! I pity whoever you have to play because they are in for a world of pain... as should anyone who dares mess with the almighty lords of 40k my beloved Eldar! lol  ;D ;D ;D But joking aside they came out great! The fade is super nice and the spacing of the crackles is spot on.

I like the white body suits on the pilots too. I don't think I noticed that before. All around, everything looks great. I know I've mentioned it before... but I've always loved this scheme... ever since I saw it in the debut White Dwarf for Sisters of Battle (with cardboard terrain) in which the store owner where I was introduced to 40k had his Golden Demon winning models featured. Their was a Venom in this color scheme and it blew my mind! Still love it to this day.

Anyway, hope you have a great game bud. As always sending the good vibes your way... go out there and CRUSH it on the tabletop bro. Good luck and glad to see a painting update!

My DE kill team. Now I have to paint them. Could only fit 4 harlis in a team, give them a whirl next time I play.

Nice! What's the plan paint-scheme-wise?
Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Dread on April 27, 2017, 01:00:51 AM
Well, that's the million dollar question. I think I'm gonna do each model different and not try to stay to a scheme. They will represent the best from each coven, like the winner from each arena put together to go forth and conquer. Sounds kinda sappy but I think that would work for the armageddon fluffwise. Will update as soon as paint begins.

Nice idea :) i like it :)

If you want to crank up the grimdark slightly just say that those champions who perform badly...aren't exactly 'welcomed' as such upon their return to Commorragh.

Sort of like the Hunger Games, but with psychotic drugged up space elves ;)

Well, I got my airbrush out and finally started my voidravens. I went with a similar look like the way I had my first one done...and now re-done, conversion and all.

Looks sick dread! I'm loving the detailed pattern you choose. What paints do you use for your airbrush? I'm still trying to get up the nerve to break mine out, but I'm still unsure what type of paint I want to go with.
Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Cavalier on June 21, 2017, 07:53:34 AM
Wow! Damn man thats great airbrush work! Super smooth and I love the blend of colors... from black to dark blue to purple to icy blue, its looking fantastic. The lightning bolts look killer too, the perfect touch! Keep it up bud love this scheme!
Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Irisado on June 21, 2017, 10:50:52 AM
That's a really evocative colour scheme that you have adopted and it looks fantastic.  The way the colours flow into each other is very appropriate for the Void Raven.  Excellent work :).

That would not have been a quick process there, Dread. Am in awe. It would have been easy to go with the hot colours once you decided to go the flame pattern, however, choosing to go with the blue was bold and unique and it paid off. Hats off mate!

that's awesome Dread, digging how you blended the scheme onto the weapons, the lightning is also a very nice touch.

Post by: Dread on June 21, 2017, 07:50:47 PM
Thanks everybody. Wasn't sure on the lightning but wanted a void type effect, I think it works. As for the paint, I'm using createx. It works great, the opaque ones. Rich color. Hope to have more up soon.

My first game was against IG and the 2nd was against Blood angels. I'm going to do a betrep, I took notes, soon. I got pics too, there is the rub. Posting from Flikr just makes it where ya'll have to click the links and I know how much of a pain that is. Bare with me.

For quick right now I won the first 9 to 3 and lost the last 7 to 3.

Nice work :) glad to hear it's a bit of a streamlined way of playing.

You should be able to use flickr without having people click on the links. Might be a tad convoluted, but if you go to the bit where you normally go to download photos (little arrow in the bottom right when you select a picture if it hasn't moved). Clicking on that will bring up a drop down which says 'original size' followed by a list of other sizes. Select the size you want, and then it'll generate that size (useful for resizong bigger pics). Right click and select 'copy this image url', or just open the pic in a new tab. That web address will be one you can paste into forum code and have the pic appear :)

Looking forward to those BatReps Dread. I'm glad to see you had some success right out of the gate (but not too much, so it'll keep you hungry!).

As far as using Flikr, if you click the share arrow, then select the BB Code, you can copy and paste this into your script without issue and without a need to link back to the source. You do have to delete a lot of the code (leaving the first [i.m.g]to the next[/i.m.g]), but it isn't too arduous.
Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Dread on August 6, 2017, 05:59:10 PM
Thanks for the help. I'm still looking. Haven't found a bb code yet.

Thanks grizzly but that's why I'm trying to find another share site. Photobucket has made it to where you have to pay to share. Unfortunately I can't really afford that.

On another note, I did a couple of trades yesterday. Got Voldus, Cypher and a box of jet bikes and some bits for an imperial knight. Another trade was my ravenwing for the new game box, libraian and chaplain. Played 2 games, lost both but didn't care, had lots of fun.

Still need to write out report. Took good notes so maybe tonight I can jot it down and post. Maybe figure out the pic thing.

Sorry I didn't get the bat rep done. But my excuse is I found out what was wrong with my hands. Just as I thought, it was one of my meds. Weaned myself off, no more shakes, cramps or pain. Started drawing and painting up a storm just to see. I've worked for hours each night and no problems. So I went out leased a building and am starting up my new tattoo shop. This has taken a front seat to everything else. So hopefully I get back to models and games soon. Til then I live vicariously thru ya'll for my gaming fun.

So I hope ya'll are ready for a shining spear box set, I say this because every time I do a conversion it seams GW releases the model or takes them away. Since they're in the book, shouldn't be the later.

Since the new jetbikes have a combat screen popped up from the cowl, I didn't use the original spear left arm, less conversion work.

Feels good to be working on my Eldar again, for that matter my models. My last dabble was a few months back.

Also, any chance you could start working on plastic conversions of Swooping Hawks, Howling Banshees, Striking Scorpions, Dark Reapers, Fire Dragons, Warp Spiders, Vypers, Rangers and Phoenix Lords? Let's get this GW ball rolling!

Nice job, I was thinking of doing the same conversion, but i wused out.

I suspect GW just had a mass stock pile of the old bikes and Spear upgrades, maybe once they clear them out we'll see a new kit lol.

Yup SD, that's why I have a hole in my left thumb now, haha. Still doesn't wanna dry.

I agree Mag. I'm getting old now and waiting has gotten harder. But now that base size don't matter, maybe I should just put them back together. I do like the leaned forward pose on mine better then the old laid back look.

Looking awesome man. Shining Spears are sooo good, and they've only gotten better with the codex. Quicken + Shining Spears = First Turn Charges (even crazier with Saim-Hann) I've got 8 more Russian sculpted Shining Spear pilots, just waiting for Jetbikes. This has given me the itch! Can't wait to see how you paint them bro. Keep it up!

Really like what you're doing there, mate. The hair looks great, but the little power sheen in the middle of the staff is Micky Mouse. Was never a big fan of that era of aspects, (especially the Scorpions. Buck toothed looking, blessed, things).

However, you've actually made them look good. Well done, mate. Good to see you on the blog again... Pointy ears forever!!

The old scheme is on the right. 20 some odd years old, the scheme not the model. It was definitely time for a change I think.

Way back in 2nd ed, my army consisted of mostly banshees and reapers. I'm moving to make a list using a similar build now for posterity sake. My first Gen banshees will keep the original paint scheme but my 2nd and 3rd Gen will have the new.

Now just have to start playing again. The new shop is doing well now so now time to get life back.
Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Saim-Dann on December 5, 2017, 01:18:41 AM
Congrats, Dread!
Always glad to hear of a businessman doing well. Those particular models came out in third ed. We can tell the designers have just come from working on the Dark Eldar. This was the first appearance for the DE and the Banshees were the next in line, and I think it shows in their form.

I like the left breastplate being metal. Can't remember if they were designed that way or this is your creation. Looking great, mate... Be well!

Post by: Ynneadwraith on December 5, 2017, 06:02:27 AM
Ooh yeah that Banshee is mint! No word of a lie, that is the first mini I've seen that has made me even slightly reconsider changing up my generally muted painting style for a more colourful one. The bright bone colour, fiery orange hair and offset steely plating is a hell of a colour scheme :)
Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Cavalier on December 5, 2017, 07:23:29 AM
Damn Dread, that Exarch looks freaking boss! You absolutely crushed the shading and highlighting on that bone... and the hair and gems look so striking and vibrant. Just fantastic paint job on a classic mini. Awesome stuff bud, can't wait to see the rest of the girls come along. Keep rolling!

Hey Dread, sorry I didn't post earlier...I totally missed all of the new photos that you'd posted!

That Banshee Exarch is brilliant. I like it a lot more than the old colour scheme. Your execution of the scheme is totally on point as well. The shading of the bone plates is amazing and I simply love the counterpoint of the cold blade.

Keep rocking it man...also, I'm really pleased to hear that the business is taking off. Great stuff!

Sorry this is not a pic post but that is coming. I finally got the triumvirate box! Yes, today, so all other projects are being pushed aside, not that I have many going right now. I have a ton of conversion work to do on the big guy ( don't like the horns) and assembly. The others will get done normal except might change visarch sword. Bases will be worked over but the big one is getting worked over big time. Updates to follow.

Post by: Dread on June 3, 2018, 01:30:53 AM
Finally I got some time to work on models tonight. Nothing really amazing yet. I was trying to put my Great Harli Quin together in sections to make her easier to paint but somehow I got glue in the wrong place, so I just glued her all together. Down side, harder to paint. Up side, will be able to fill gaps before painting. I'll get gaps done shortly and hopefully prime tomorrow night.

I also did some touch ups on my converted shadowseer and started painting on another shadowseer. Also, for my birthday, a friend 3D printed me my Necrons objective markers, painted one tonight. Tried out a new paint I got called green glow, going to have figure that out better.

Here ya go bud. Now keep in mind I tried using a brush on the first one. I'm gearing my air brush up for the others. If it works better for the glow, I will receive do the first one.

I started this one to try out a different design. Will paint riders soon.
Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: dog_of_war on June 15, 2018, 07:49:20 AM
That's a really unique design. I've never seen that one before. If you're up to trying a technical paint, I really like adding lahmian media as a top coat when I have really distinct lines of colour separation. It seems to smooth out the transition and hides any of the errant brush lines. Not a criticism of the paint job, which is gorgeous. Just if you wanted to try something. If you don't mind a gloss look, adding another layer with ard coat blends even better. That's what I did with my acid bases for my dark eldar to make it look more flowing.

Awesome look as is though. Just a thought if you wanted to experiment, but as that design probably took you a long time, you may not want to monkey with it.

That Cegorach (!) is wonderful, Dread! I think you really nailed it with the masks and the color scheme, pretty resourceful of you to find a suitable replacement for the Yncarne head. Lots of wonderful and colorful patterns that absolutely scream the Laughing God and his Harlequins. You should be proud of this one! ;D

Thanks guy's! The basics on these are flat black with gloss graphics. Black will be the basic on all foot dudes too. Not to many diamonds on ground troops just basic bright colors. The ones now are purple and green, some others may be grey and red or blue and ah I dunno. But here is the start.

Great job, Dread, the Craven King looks so much cooler when you get some close-ups to him, though he already seemed pretty great before. Cannot wait to see how paint him :). Nighthaunt will likely be my second army, that or Stormcasts, haven't really decided which one yet.

Hey Dread awesome stuff man! I second Looshkin's feedback too, the diamond patterns are killer. Love the scheme too. Are they Veiled Path?

Those Nighthaunt are terrific Dread! The colours that you've used are just great and really convey the ethereal look of the army. I think my favourite piece so faris the Lady Olynna. The greens and white work so well together.

Top stuff Dread!

Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Lord of Winter and War on August 10, 2018, 08:18:53 AM
Looking good! I do think you should paint some of the details on the models, as with just the green/white they lack a certain amount of pop. Especially on the named heros, where you really want them to stand out.
Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Dread on August 10, 2018, 09:06:13 PM
Try this. I added some titanium gold to some. It keeps the ethereal look. I used athonian camoshade over some areas to bring out details.

Much much better.

With just the white and green, they just don't look finished to me. Fantastic base for the ethereal effect, but you need spot colours and details on the models. If you could work in some dark reds onto the models, I think it'd really pop too.

 :o, that shade of gold on the details and the anthonian camoshade really make these models shine, Dread(Though they were already very blingy to begin with ;))! I particularly love the light shade of pink you used for the roses, that looks wonderful on Lady Olynder. You and Loosh are kind of inspiring me to paint some wraiths myself, but I already have quite a few models that need paint already, haha :).

Oh man, those models are look sweet Dread! Really soft touches all round. Almost reminds me of something Ynneadwraith would paint. I love it! The pale pink roses are a KILLER touch man. Just a great detail that really draws the eye in and keeps with the theme. I love it!

Thanks guys. I hope to get more done this weekend. Works been hectic but fulfilling. I hope to get my black coach next week, I can't wait!

Well I went and got it today. To say it's a beautiful model is an understatement. Fits together perfect. Now just the banshees and some more chain rasps and the army will be ready for play.

Wow!
Firstly..... Great job on the airbrushing, it looks really good! I'd probably add in a tiny little bit of drybrushing to bring out the edges and it'll look really ethereal!

Secondly.... Major Kudos for attempting that model, as much as it looks amazing I don't think I'd have the guts to use it as it looks so damn fiddly! I'd definitely end up breaking it!

First off, thanks. The model is well designed, not wobbly. Now if you're gonna do a bunch of detail work, then test fit and paint before assembly. Since I'm going the easy way out, there's not a lot of detail, old dogs just go for ease.

Wow Dread, those Gellar Pox are absolutely spectacular 8)!!! There's so many subtle varieties in the fleshy bits (which are kind of the whole models), and they blend together into each other so seamlessly. About as natural as disease-ridden, cybernetic hulks of stitched together flesh blessed by the God of Decay should look, I think ;D.

Seriously, that's impressive :). Are you going to be painting the Starstriders, because I would love to see that!

Thank you so much. Actually split the box with a friend, so he got those. I was going for that difference in color as to not have them all the same, glad you noticed that, means I accomplished what I set out for. I have the others started and in various stages, just need to find time.

Excellent Cawl, Dread, I really love what you've done with it! If I had one criticism that I had to nit-pick about -and this might be a product of the camera itself or maybe I'm blind- I cannot really make out the details on Cawl's face. But other than that, I think the model is gorgeous!

Keep us updated!
Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Dread on February 5, 2019, 09:36:52 PM
Thanks everyone. The camera was not great but the face is done in layered greys, kinda dark. My friend bought my skitarii army from me a year ago. Kept Cawl to paint and give him for Christmas,  he was so proud, he got me the kill team core book, I'm so happy to have it finally. So many things I've discovered about the game having it in hand. Anyhow, I painted him in the colors I had started doing my skitarii so he fits perfect and my buddy wants to pay me to finish the army so, I may be getting busy soon.

As for the base, cork is do fun to use. You can shape it, break it and paint it to look so perfect.

Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Dread on February 7, 2019, 11:13:06 PM
Hey Ynneadwraith, thanks. I start with a black primer then coat it with doom bull brown. I use Ryza rust (dry) over all the raised detail then use Hexos Palesun around the bottom edges fading it up. The use Agrath earth shade wash in the nooks and crannies. After I finish all metals and colors I spray a matte finish over the model.

Here is another view..

You do some tests buy never figure out what you want. Well I have a huge Drukhari army I got when all the new models came out years ago. I've test painted a few, even painted a few flyers but never found the right fit.....until today. Went into my local game store, the owner is one of my best friends. He says I got something new to show you. He got in a new paint line. My jaw hit the floor, COLOR CHANGING PAINT!! I FOUND IT! That perfect color, it changes from green to purple. I just started priming the models and hopefully here in a bit I'm gonna thin some out and spray a base. I hope it works the way it says and if it does, ya baby! Will post pics of progress. So cross your fingers and wish me luck.

Sorry for the wall of text.

The pictures don't do it justice, the color change is awesome. I got a bunch of transports based also. I haven't been this ambitious in a good while except for my Gellarpox. Here's the best pic I got.

I wish the color change would show better in the pics. Now I just have to figure out what color to use on the sails. I'm thinking red or a tan color, i am doing obsidian rose. Any suggestions?

I wish I could see these colors at their most opaque, then observe the shift in the color. Looks great, Dread. Really complements the scheme too. I would like to see some of the panels and other details picked out with more colors, but the end result is great!
Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Dread on February 11, 2019, 09:45:59 PM
Thanks. That's just the base coat. Lots of detail to go. Will be slow going but at least I'm finally painting them.

Think I'm going to do greys for the sails, wych outfits cloth and the like. Tried silver for chains but not enough contrast so going golds copper tones.

Post by: Dread on February 17, 2019, 11:08:47 PM
Thanks guys. I've been feverishly painting away. Finally decided on reds for sails and cloth stuff. I did one with bright green sails, just too, well, bright. Will post pics soon. I took them to play today but unfortunately ran out of time for 40k, playing in a kill team campaign so my Gellerpox got a workout. Back to painting.

Wow! That's quite the Raiding party you have Dread!

It's tough to see in the photos, but I imagine that the green/purple shimmer that you have going on is just superb and so fitting for Dark Eldar.

It kinda makes me want to break out some Drukhari and try something similar.

Terrific work Dread, well done!

Where's my text?! I had written text when I put pics up. Anyhow, I almost have my flyers done. Working on troops in a as push to finish. I looked the transfer sheets over but really didn't like to many of them to put on my vehicles. Then I thought, they're not human so don't need insignia.

Those are some sick flyers, Dread, I love the one with the nebulae-esque scheme, looks absolutely beautiful. The Razorwings with the color shifting paint seem more uniform in their schemes and don't stand out too much in the images, but I bet they must look sweet in person. I've seen a tutorial using color shifting paints on an Akhelian King, and he looked absolutely incredible.
Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Dread on February 28, 2019, 12:00:10 AM
Thanks. Ya it's really hard to get good pics of them, in person they really shine. The colors were made for this army, in my humble opinion. Hope to have more pics up soon.

Hey Dread, quick question for you, since I know you're doing Daughters of Khaine. How are you planning on painting your Witch Aelves. Are you painting them fully assembled or do you plan to leave the head and hair off as sub-assemblies. Trying to figure out which one I want to do, but sub assemblies seems fairly more complicated since specific heads go with specific bodies and aren't really interchangeable across the entire kit.
Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Dread on March 3, 2019, 11:25:43 PM
I completely assemble them especially since the neck to chin is so tiny. When painting them, the areas you can't see don't need paint anyway. Just is easier. I tried to do Helebrons head/hair unattached years ago but trying to put it on the neck was almost impossible, ended up with a big glue blob that I had to trim and then had to repaint. Hope this helps you.

Been slowly working on the grots...

*******A L E R T*******

(Sounds of explosions and people screaming in the background )

We now interrupt your program with this special report.

Good evening folks! It all started a few hours ago with a bright, what seems to be a portal, opening in the middle of town. People gathered together to see this phenomenon only to be attacked by what looks like chaotic creatures emerging from it. It's happening so fast and the authorities are dispatching troops to try and contain the situation. We will report on this as we learn more. Now back to your regularly scheduled program.....

********A L E R T*********

Have you been suffering from additional limbs, eyes or other heads appearing on your body? Well you don't have to anymore. Buy Father O'Brian's exorcism in a can. It comes in 3 different flavors. With just one can you'll see difference in your skin. Remember to not listen to the voices telling you not too and get yours today. For best results, drink 3 to 4 cans a day until it's gone and be happy to show yourself to your friends and family again. If you act now for 250 credits you get 12 cans we'll throw in this cute widget doll and another can of Father O'Brian's Stay Cleansed.

No animals were spared in testing of this product. It needs to work. If you don't like how it works, just send the unused cans back for absolutely no refund.
Act fast, supplies are limited.

Sweet merciful Dark Gods, cannot wait to see how you tackle the Shadowspear Box. What are your ideas for a paint scheme? I'll be parting ways with my Stormcast soon and will be getting my first few boxes of Chaos myself.

Also, those completed Mechanicus models are absolutely snazzy, love how you picked out all of the little details, really makes them stand out.

Keep it up!

Actually no on KT. But I am painting his team now. Yup I need to work on lighting.

Not sure on paint scheme yet.  Keep bouncing back to my Nightlords colors but want something different. As soon as I get this commission stuff done I'm gonna toy around with them and finish my night gobbos.

Thanks guys

So we played a 2 on 2 last week. My black legion and bugs vs death guard and orks. Each 750 pts doing a objective based game. They got 17 pts to our 13 but fun was had and I got to use the new stuff. Any how I got home that night and decided I want a dark apostle. With no money to use I remembered a model I got in a white dwarf mag a while back and converted him. So introducing my new dark apostle. Que music....

Dug thru my bits box and found an old chaos back pack and a chaos warrior cloak plus my buddy bought me the new chaos space marine box, he's a great guy, got the pistol and maul from it. Need to name him, hmm. Suggestions?

Arthral the bloody Maul of Khorne.
Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Irisado on April 5, 2019, 07:12:38 AM
That's a fantastic conversion.  I particularly like the way that you have posed the model to be pointing menacingly towards his target with that maul.

As for naming, as Dark Apostles were, at least originally, exclusive to the Word Bearers, I'm not sure that I'd make his name favour any particularly Chaos God.  [Insert name] Chosen of Lorgar might work, but it's rather unoriginal.  How about some alliteration?  Drazhar, Demagogue of Darkness might work, for example.
Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Myen'Tal on April 5, 2019, 09:01:22 PM
I've always liked the Slaughter Priest model, and I think he'd make a natural Dark Apostle with some work. I think you've done that conversion work some great justice. He's even got the mace!

Got nothing for names :P.

Thanks. Started with 2 layers of cork, tearing out sections to look like ruts carved out by wheels in wet ground. Based in doom bull brown, then dry brushed some lighter browns. I use model train ballast glued in open areas to look like dirt/gravel. Been doing this for years. I'm still thinking about adding some grass around the tomb stones.

Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Looshkin on May 28, 2019, 04:07:13 AM
Really cool looking centre piece model you have there Dread. The ethereal look has been executed brilliantly. I think that the base is also terrific.

If it were me, I'd probably have done the coach in regular colours, as opposed to ethereal, so that the characters were the ghosts that happened to be pulling a corporeal coach. That's just me though and you choices don't detract from what is an excellent model.

Great stuff Dread! Good to see you painting your own stuff!
Title: Re: Dread's Corsair army
Post by: Dread on May 28, 2019, 10:53:16 PM
Thanks guys. Yup Loosh, I've been fighting with that since I got the base coat on it. When I started the base the other night and the metallic trim, I kept dropping my brush. That sucked so I just did the base, afraid I'd mess it up. Still a possibility in the future.  Thanks for everyone's feed back.

I might not get to paint my models all the time but being a taxidermist now, I get some interesting jobs in. Did this for a customer tonight.

So, been playing KT again since elites dropped. FINALLY my banshees can be used. Now I stripped the old colors of 20 of my gals and have tried to come up with a new paint scheme for my KT unit but I just keep going back to the scheme I've used for many years. Need some suggestions please.

I think I'm going to just go black boots and cloth with metal armor bits and red hair. Highlight the black of coarse and go with a regular flesh tone instead of such a pale one. Dunno yet, waiting for inspiration. I'm working on some drawings right now so painting is sidelined for a bit. Thanks for coming by here everyone.

Excellent looking sisters, I love the choice of hair color and how the facial features came out. Their faces look soft and fair, where as the GW schemes have them a bit harsh to me. Amazing how a paint job can change how one views that.

Now with the new sisters out and getting my 2 boxes, I decided not to wait for the new tanks to drop. One, I really don't like either of them, to busy imho. 2nd, they'll probably be $80 or more. So bought 2 rhinos from a friend for $25 and retired my other rhino to be commissioned as Exorcists. Dug out my old panel molds, dug thru the bits box, made molds of pieces I needed and got started.

Not perfect but happy with them. Now I can start building the actual models from the box.

That's a great looking tank; a bit closer to the old FW exorcist in design than the GW one.

I've always liked how sisters were a quite over the top, but the new vehicles take things a little to far for my taste.

Thanks Myen'Tal  8) it's very good news. Five years ago went thru cancer surgery, it sucked! Took a while to get over but that's also when I got my harlequin army so something good came out of it.

On another note, supposed to play my first game with my sisters tomorrow night but haven't got them all built yet. Working so much right now so I think my harlequins may be getting fielded. Let ya'll know how that goes. ;)

I agree, it makes for a good looking build up of dust and dirt.

The blue skin of those priests (I can never tell what kind they are) is also a nice touch; it ties in really well with their electric vibe.

Post by: Dread on January 12, 2020, 01:11:54 AM
Well, I did it. I settled on a color scheme for my sisters. For those of you who don't know, this is my 5th and final sisters army. I never painted any of my others so this is a big hurdle for me, to settle on.  I wasn't gonna do anything with them for a while but just couldn't help myself. So an amethyst armor with turquoise robes and gold trim. This is as good as they're gonna get so be kind with critiques. I'm just going for playable not paint comps. Thanks.  8)

Thanks guys. It means a lot. I've always had a hard time coming up with a scheme for them. I also have an order name for them "the Cerulean Shroud". Can still use them as any major orders rules. Now if I can write, IlL try to create a back story but later, paint first. Will post more soon.

So I had to do a wash on the robes, glad I did.

Hey everyone! Sorry it's been baron here of late. I have several irons in the fire project wise, just no real completions. I did go get me another unit for my Nighthaunt army and began assembly. Now this being one of GWS prettiest models I have to say one of the worst to assemble next to the Hexwraiths. The spirit hosts!

(https://i.ibb.co/qMZZ51S/20200216-200615.jpg)

So I have 3 down and 6 to go.

I've also been picking a little on my gobbopalooza, just so much little details to look after.

(https://i.ibb.co/vHp1rHD/20200216-201451.jpg)

I will keep plugging along. Also have a commission job for Sanguinius(sorry for spelling) that I just finished magnetising and primed, will post pics on that one soon.  8)

And to start with, I cut the first part out and then the little face piece which popped outta my fingers and the carpet ate it. Looked for 20 minutes and gave up. Almost got up and quit before I even started, haha. Stuck it out and 2 hours later, 3 done.

You got that right magenb, they do get tangled together sometimes too.

Thanks bud. About 12 hours paint time. I also forgot to mention I magnetized the hand. When on the diaroma the hand is made on the demons horn so when off, the open hand can be put on. Try drilling that small, whew it was tedious.

On a side note. Went and got me a new kill team today. FISH STICKS! Now we'll see how pathfinders and stealth suits work. Not getting an army of them, just kt. Win or lose, for fun and I've wanted to paint some of these little buggers. Now, what color scheme?

So my boss said not to come work this week. I'm trying to use this time to hobby, started building my imperial knight and working on my spears so maybe I'll get some stuff done. Grr, anyhow, want to work.

Anyhow on another note, I am toying with the name Gypsy Moon for my knight. What do y'all think? Paint scheme will be like a purple to magenta to orange sunset look.

A bunch of cool stuff, Dread! Go nuts on those Gloomspite! They all look really fun to paint!

I second (or third) that the frozen stars scheme so far is looking grand. How are you doing the star pattern?
Title: Re: Dread's Anything and everything
Post by: Dread on April 8, 2020, 01:07:39 PM
Thanks bud. I start with a base, white or black depending on if I want bright or dark. The trick is rip a piece of poster board , curving it into shapes, then hold the desired shape where you want to have it and spray along the edge. The ripped board gives a not so smooth edge kinda like clouds. I started with black then blended a dark blue to a medium blue to a light blue. Afterwards I go back and use the dark blue to fog over the lighter shades then crisp up the black. The stars are the easy part, water down white 50/50 then use a stiff bristle brush and flick it towards the area you want them. It's time consuming but has a nice presence in the end. I've not used my air brush on to many small models but on the bigger ones it's great piece of equipment to have.

I'm getting close to finishing my first sisters squad.

Thanks Myen'Tal! So I'm switching gears again. I'm trying to save my cauldron. It's got some paint build up on it so some of the detail is lost. I also cut the square bases of my old witches and put them on rounds.

(https://i.ibb.co/CtbJZTv/20200415-145519.jpg)


Since my DoK are still a small force, I'm gonna try and get them done. After business is back, I'm gonna get one more box so I can have my 3 battle line units. Nice thing is I settled on a color scheme.

I'll keep picking at my other models but keep at it. My Tau commander is almost done. Just a little detail and base.

Everyone stay healthy.

You're not wrong about that. I've always built my models all the way, base and all. Doing this has interrupted my norm. But all the bases are done now, whew, and all the models that go on them are assembled and primered. They will be a short excursion but they will be hot when they're done. Hint hint, wink.

Thanks and that's a super idea. I'm glad I haven't painted my plastic one yet, hmm!

And now for a brief interlude...a blast from the past. My first Deathwing dreadnought from 2nd ed 40k. With a custom built assault cannon(they didnt have that wsy back then).Enjoy!

So much hobby going on here Dread!

I'm a big fan of that old Dread...what was it? The Furioso or something? I remember owning one of those...it's probably barely bigger than a Primaris now!

For your DoK...I think you have to go something quite neutral for the base. There's a lot of bold colour on the figure, so it needs to stand out from than. So probably anything brown...maybe grey...maybe (although it may actually look too close to elements of the model). One thing I would consider is making the skint one a touch more pale. It's very striking, but I think you need slightly more definition between the cloth and the skin...just my 2 cents though.

The painting is glorious though bud, so I'm looking forward to you cranking out some more of the girls.

Thanks guys! Appreciate everything.

Good to hear from you Loosh. On my DoK, haven't quit got there on the flesh tones yet. This is actually the first time I've been happy with the flesh on them but I too have been thinking about highlighting them. Thanks bud.

Now on too the secret project. I've wanted these guys since they came out. So being on lock down, I got the start collecting box. Probably all I'll ever get. So here is the first part finished.

Dread! Dude! These guys are the actual bomb!

Really sick work all round. You've managed a really good, uniform finish on all of them that just looks superb. I like that the bases are magmaesque, but still a bit understated (I find they often take a lot of attention away from the models if they're too ostentatious).

Lovely work, nicely done!

Post by: Looshkin on May 17, 2020, 11:37:27 AM
I like that Harlequin Dread. I think the colour scheme is spot on and the brushwork on the bulk of the model is very nice. If I could suggest one thing though, it would be to use a slightly thinner brush and thin your paints more when you do the freehand stars on the cloak. It looks fine as is, but I think you could easily take the overall 'wow' factor up a couple of notches by tidying up those cloak details.

Looking forward to seeing what you do with those Falcons; you're vehicles always make me very envious!
Title: Re: Dread's Anything and everything
Post by: Dread on May 17, 2020, 11:33:27 PM
Yup, you're so right. I was so tired when I got to that point and should have waited. I painted the star, the top point got rounded so went back with the blue to sharpen it, over did it. Got on that merry go round til I said stop. But have no fear, the sand paper is going after it and then we'll see.

Thanks for the comments guys, really keeps me on track. 

As for the falcons, I've waited for GW to upgrade them for a long time. Not that I don't love the original, because I do, but with the prism and spinner turret, which is so cool, I've waited. Now that I've gone through the work of doing these, you know what'll happen....Let's hope.


So, a few years ago I was working on a paint scheme. I practiced on these 2 falcons. Finally I got them out and actually finished them. The 2 new ones will be painted in the same scheme. Herr are the older ones.

That Drazhar is looking terrific Dread.

I think the armour tone is one of my favourite things; it reminds me so much of the metallic colours GW released in about 1991 or so. Just something that I haven't seen on a model in a long, long, long time!

Brilliant stuff, I can't wait to see the finished model.

I'll echo what everyone else has said about Drazhar; he's a terrific centrepiece model that you've done an excellent paint job on. The base in particular really pops and makes the mini come to life. Excellent effort Dread.

As for the Death Jester; sublime man. Really sublime. So imposing, yet a clean, well balanced paint job.

Thanks bud. The armor is actually a metallic amethyst. I start with black primer, air brush a white pearl and air brush the metallic purple. I wish the pictures could capture it better but my cell phone is the only camera I have.

We're supposed to play a 25 PL patrol game this Saturday night using 9th ed rules. I'm taking

Canoness
Squad of 10 sisters
Hospitalor
Dominion squad of 5
Retributors squad of 5
Rhino

Playing against ad mech. It's gonna be fun, other than a kill team game a few weeks back, this will be my first actual 40k game since before this covid craziness started. I'm jonesing bad for a game so I hope my sisters don't let me down. It was either them or my DE and they won out. I'll post results and maybe even a bat rep.

Also I've been reading Embers a little at a time, no feed back yet, really enjoying it. With work and my folks both getting hospitalized, the wife's car breaking down and trying to get my army all painted for the game, time is eluding me.

Thanks a bunch Looshkin. It means a lot. My mom's funeral was small but really beautiful. It has been hard to keep my mind still. The bad thing is we found out that we may have been exposed to covid at the funeral so we're self quarantining right now as per nurses orders. I'm still waiting for a toilet seat to fall out of the sky and hit me. Just haven't figured out why all this bad is happening at once. The good has been getting 2 sets of the new necrons and the new rule book, been busy building them and painting the new ad mech models for my friend. We were supposed to get our first 9th ed game in tomorrow night but, well, you know. My dad seems to be getting better in the nursing home so hopefully he'll get to go home in a few weeks so there is that, if the doctors say he can take care of him self. I'm so ready to start rolling dice. Peace to you all and God bless. 8)

Thanks Loosh! So I went and bought a new color today by turbo dork called "let them eat cake". I'm building the new banshees right now and thinking about this color for them.

https://ibb.co/MR6mV2khttps://ibb.co/yXs9gQH (https://ibb.co/MR6mV2khttps://ibb.co/yXs9gQH)
It's a blue to red color shift. It's also a long way from my other craftworld paint scheme. Wanting some opinions, please. Read hair, metallic weapons, gold trim with this as the armor color.

Thanks.

I've never seen those colour shift paints. I am very, very interested to see how they work out for you. Post pics as soon as you have something!

Haha! ;D so true bro, so true. So I used the paint last night. I've used 2 of the other colors (like on my DE and necrons) and loved them but this one doesn't color shift worth a shift and it's really dark. I like the color but it's almost black like an egg plant purple. I going to try using some lighter colors as accents and see what happens but have a feeling repaint will happen.

Everyone enjoy your weekend and hopefully get a few games in if it's safe. Hopefully the storm has passed and we'll see some semblance of norm soon. 8)

Start on necron scheme.

Blue metal for Necron's looks great.

If you are looking for a black metal though, vallejo 71.073 is the freakin bomb, that's the model air code, it works like a glaze with a brush or just straight into the airbursh.

Post by: Dread on August 9, 2020, 09:13:55 PM
 8) thanks everyone!

Thanks magenb. The blue is on purpose. I've tried of my old scheme so found turbo Dork's color shift "ice to never" color. Blue to purple, unfortunately the pics just won't show it. My main no no rule for my new necrons is no green, of any kind on them other than the money spent on them, haha.

So here's an update to life. My dad is now out of the nursing home and moving out of state to live with my brother and his family. So my wife and I are moving into their house. This has all been decided today. So my hobby time will be gone for a few weeks while moving. Then have to sell my house and then after our lives should get in a better way. Nice thing is my hobby room will be much bigger. But by doing this we don't lose the memories of 43+ years that live in that house.

Those Necrons are cool Dread. Really cool. I haven't seen Necrons painted in that colour before, so wasn't sure how much I'd like it...but I think you'e done a really great job. They're menacing as heck and I can't wait to see more come off the production line.

Here's a blast from the past! I did this Baron Sathonyx conversion just before 6th ed DE DeX came out, then when it did he wasn't in it. He's up for a repaint.

I really wanted to post something, haven't been able to paint and our move is almost over. So soon the brushes will be up and running. 8)

Looking good Dread, are you using something on the bases for the lumpy dirt effect?

Those trolls in the background look like they'd be super fun to paint too :)
Title: Re: Dread's Anything and everything
Post by: Dread on September 10, 2020, 10:18:54 PM
The smaller bases are from GW'S bases, they have it molded on already but on Scezar base I used the basing stuff you glue on then prime and paint.

I'm still not happy that the blue doesn't picture well, the color change paints have a hard time showing in a picture.

It's also funny, I thought I only had the bases left on the plasmancer and the prince until I sat down and looked at them. It has been a few weeks since I started on them. Also as you can see in the back ground I'm still trudging along on my gobbopalooza and trolls. Just so much detail, only been more than year since I started on them. 8)

Well done, Dread, and it looks like you have even more new kits to tinker with for the Necrontyr :) after the preview today. I love the blue and the hot rod orange look your scheme has going, really makes them look very luminous, which is not the easiest thing to pull off when painting a model.

Title: Re: Dread's Anything and everything
Post by: Dread on October 5, 2020, 01:42:39 AM
Well the move is over and I finally have some time to paint. The hobby room, while still in disarray, is useable so getting back in the swing. Here is what I finished tonight for my buddy as well as getting a big head start on some of his other units. Enjoy.

I'm still trying to slow down from everything that has transpired the past few months but getting back to the hobby is a real big help. Were starting a crusade at our local store on Tuesday evening, I hope to be in it. All this social distancing has taken a real toll on me and not sure how to get back in the swing of things, wearing a mask for a few hours really doesn't appeal to me but I may suffer thru it to get back to the game.

Hope all is well, stay safe. 8)

So since im joining in on the Idoneth ranks i did a practice base to see how to do ocean stuff. Needs a little tweaking but am happy with results.

Thanks for that bud. In the new news, early Christmas to me. I got the daughters half of Shadows and pain and a box of sisters of slaughter! I can now make my 2k DoK army, legal that is. So my water elves will have to wait a bit. So excited, finally after waiting since AoS came out. Will post pics as assembly progresses. Also got two more boxes of Skyweavers for my harli's and all the 32 mm bases I'll ever need to add to older models. It's a very plastic Christmas for me.

Title: Re: Dread's Anything and everything

Actually i used sand and modeling paste together. I stirred the sand in til i got a good consistency and used a modeling tool to spread and shape.

Got to put a narrative spin  that Dread, was it a case of inquisitorial re-allocation of resources or more of a blood ravens we'll take this for "safe keeping" :)

Looking good though mate.
Title: Re: Dread\\\\\\\'s Anything and everything
Post by: Dread on January 10, 2021, 02:06:45 AM
Thanks guys!

So how's about my order is on a far planet that has little support from inquisition so they have acquired the service of a planetary mechanic. Being that their vehicles are so old and have seen a lot of battles, they took parts from space marine razorbacks and the such and made them functional without having to stick  a sister up on the vehicle in harms way. Using a gunners system from old SM vehicle put the the gunner sister safely next to the driver inside along with updated tracking systems. My exorcists have the same story being retro fitted from old missile systems from destroyed knights to fire said missiles. The last contact from the inquisition was years ago but my sisters keep their planet safe from evil and xenos alike to the best of their ability.

Would have to do research thru old maps to find a suitable planet for them to be on, maybe some mention of old battles in that sector. Knight houses and marine forces that were there. What was important to others to fight over there like a promethium gas supply or the like. Anyhow...

I'm not a writer...would love to see a story about my Cerulean Shroud order put together but again, not a writer. Ideas I have, building conversions and such, but not writing.

Anyhow thanks for stopping in.
Title: Re: Dread's Anything and everything
Post by: Sir_Godspeed on January 13, 2021, 10:36:48 PM
Could be gifts from some SM Chapter after they fought extensively together. A symbol of their mutual appreciation. Maybe the Sisters gave away something in turn.

Getting settled into the new job finally and getting a life rutine figured out. Getting some gaming in, painting/building as well as work on the hotrod. Tired a lot which is good, signs of accomplishment I'm told.

New sisters stuff coming soon so eccited.

Whoa Dread those Necrons look amazing. Strange thing to say, and I can't put my finger on just why, but I would never have guessed these models had been painted by you. I don't know if it is the colour scheme, or the models, but there is something subtly different about the overall look. Have you got a new spray gun/set of brushes?
Title: Re: Dread's Anything and everything
Post by: Dread on July 1, 2021, 08:04:09 PM
Thanks guys.

@Alienscar. Well a bit of both. I did get a new air brush as well as some new brushes and also trying out some of the vallejo air paints. The silver anyway. The blue is just the cheap metalics you get at craft stores thinned 50/50 with distilled water.

So hi everyone! Been awhile. Ive been building lots of models but not painting so much. Soon will be remeding that. Anyhow i did a small conversion tonight and wanted to share her. I recently bought a Dogmata for my sororitas army and decided i wanted 2 so used the extra bits from her on one of my banner bearers and came up with this.

Nothing really spectacular but functional for the role.

Enjoy!  8)

Hi everyone. Been a bit. No painting to really speak of, been having hand problems again, oh well learning to push thru. Got a commish drawing job for a 2015 dodge charger. Havent drawn in a long time due to hands but pushed thru while cramping and burning and got it done. Whew! Think it might push me back to painting soon.

Hey Dread, how are you hands doing? Just checking on you  :). Managed to get any painting done. I sent you a PM by the way, if you want to check your messages!

Also about that necrons pilars of convergence thing... how did you get that soft metallic blue effect on them? It looks really striking!

Title: Re: Dread's Anything and everything
Post by: Dread on October 17, 2021, 06:56:51 PM
Hey Myen'Tal. Hands are a bit better right now, i think. Thanks for asking. Havent gotten any painting done lately but lots of building. I ve done 2 commision drawings in the past few weeks tho.

Post by: Dread on October 17, 2021, 09:56:02 PM
Well the pinky finger thing i started years ago when i started doing the rat fink style drawing. Its my little signature thing i do.
Title: Re: Dread's Anything and everything
Post by: Myen'Tal on October 17, 2021, 10:05:10 PM
So what's the inspiration behind this style of art, which looks really cool!

Great job on them by the way!  ;D

It reminds me of those like 70-80s hot rod paint jobs you'd see in the movies. Greese is a good example, but I can't remember if the cars in that had body art or not.
Title: Re: Dread's Anything and everything
Post by: Dread on October 18, 2021, 12:16:05 AM
Back in the 50s a man named Ed Roth created a character named Rat Fink. It became really big in the hotrod world and even had comics, toys, models, t-shirts etc. Been a big influence on me since i was a kid and being a hotrodder and artist it inspired me to crwate my own style. Look up rat fink on google and you'll see what i mean.
Title: Re: Dread's Anything and everything
Post by: Sir_Godspeed on October 18, 2021, 10:17:43 PM
Eyh, I've seen Rat Fink around before!

It also reminds me of 90s underground comics for adults that were popular over here. Really exaggerated comical grossness.

So never was able to get back on her...yet. Saw the doc. Dont have bad carpral tunnel but found out what the pain is from. I have tendonitis which ive mnown for years but the kicker is i have major nerve damage in my elbows. Thats what causes my hands to hurt so much. No surgery so thats good but some compression sleeves and meds.

On another note since i havent been painting minis i did this today for a friend.

AH Dread, I'm sorry to hear about your health woes. I suffered with a bit of nerve damage after my bicep tendon surgery, so I can understand how debilitating it can be. I really hope that the compression sleeves and meds do the trick and alleviate the issue. All the best, and hopefully you'll see some better times ahead.

I came for the minis...but I'll definitely stay for the art. You have some serious talent my friend. That landscape is gorgeous.

So my hands are working better but then my eyes went nuts. Suffering from some double vision. Weird. Anyhow the past few weeks have sucked. No painting, drawing or building models. However today i realized that if i work on my nighthaunt i didnt need clear vision so much. I started collecting this army when it came out and have been adding to it here and there but recently was able to get a bunch really cheap. I build them as soon as i get them but then they just sit. So today i got them primed and base colored so when my vision is fixed i can get after the details. Heres the fruits of my labor today.

Thank you everyone for the well wishes. They worked. Because i changed my diet, eating healthy, my eyes are even better so now i can get back to doing my thing. They said i was boarder line diabetic which i have corrected. Still need glasses to see up close but thats ok.

As for my swirly things. They are more resilient than you would think. Im trying to get my entire army painted before march. I challenged a friend to a game then so...

Oooh - Dread, that Black Coach looks epic, wasn't expecting that spectral sight, but it looks awesome. I can tell you put a lot of time into those smaller details, but that is what adds up and makes the whole come to life. Also, all the nighthaunt look really crisp -  like the color fades you managed to achieve.

Awesome work, Dread, definitely a good use of a minimal color palette - a lot of different shades of the same general color gradient. I'm usually the opposite (to a fault) - but the gold stands out a lot because of this - I actually think it works very well!

Look forward to seeing more.

Also, I said I wasn't going to buy anymore of the new eldar models until I finished my ranger teams and some of my backlog. That was a lie, lol.

First off - that's a dope Fire Prism.

I like the smooth transition from crimson to near black you got going on the hull. My favorite part is how you painted the 'prisms' on the main gun itself - looks really neat.

Cannot wait to see some more Craftworlds coming out from you  8).

Post by: Dread on April 25, 2022, 05:04:04 PM
Thanks you sir. Glad you like the flow. Its actually color change paint so ill try to catch a few pics to show that. As for the prism, honestly it was a happy accident. Not what i had envisioned but turned out better then i thought it would. Stiil have a little to do on it but once the gloss clear is shot on it it will pop hard. Thanks again.

That's an awesome vehicle right there - reminds me of something straight out of hotwheels (If anyone remembers what that is).

Glad you had a great 4th of July!!

Thank you for the kind words on the ole hotrod.

So i have been fighting covid the past more than a week. Congestion is finally getting better and the aches are almost gone. Fatigue is a big part of it but i did manage to paint 3 of my minis. It was a struggle but managed. Heres some pics.

It set me back a couple of weeks on the hotrod too but should be driving her soon. 8)

Oooh, that's a REALLY cool color scheme. Very classic ghosts. It's honestly strange that I've never seen this before!

Thanks. Its the original idea i had when the nighthuant were released. I wanted a etherael look and kinda used the return of the kings ghost look as a refrence. Think it worked out. Was gonna do the whole army that way then decided to paint the caporial stuff. Over all im happy with the look.

hopefully you get better soon mate.
Really like the way you did the candles and the book on the stand, looks awesome.


The hotrod is looking fantastic too, that's a lot more fun than any fireworks :)

Thsnks buddy. It has been a labor of love for sure. A few more tweaks and a couple more weeks and i should be bringing her home.

Now for some reason im getting the "finish my necrons" voice in my head. We will see.

Welcome to the titan party ;)

That one isn't too bad in terms of building it. I wish I had more experience before building mine, the biggest thing is plan it out first. How are you going to transport it, how are you going to move it around a table top. Then lots and lots of pinning.  Good luck :)


Sweet rides too, bet they are a lot of fun :)
Title: Re: Dread's Anything and everything
Post by: Dread on August 10, 2022, 01:07:49 AM
Thsnks mage. Well the thing on the titan is that its not mine. My boss is commisioning me to build and paint it. So...now im try to decide if i want to make molds and build one for myself before i build it.
Title: Re: Dread's Anything and everything
Post by: Dread on August 25, 2022, 03:02:33 AM
Heres the build. Pinned everything.

Yoo, this looks absolutely excellent!

I would definitely rank this among one of your finest works, Dread. I love the Revenant's armor - the subtle pattern effect and the gems are top-notch and my favorite parts. And the diorama looks absolutely stellar - love that wrecked Baal predator! The crater the Revenant is stepping in is awesome too!

Thanks! I'm jealous because this is for a friend. He's the one that bought my Eldar from me. Always wanted one and finally got to paint one.
Title: Re: Dread's Anything and everything
Post by: Myen'Tal on October 29, 2022, 03:23:17 PM
Awesome! Glad that you got to finally paint one!

Your friend should be proud to have that  :).

Yup he was ecstatic.it was really fun. Now I'm turning my attention back on my necrons. Mainly my new kill team. 8)

They're coming up next but in the mean time wanted you to see that I finally got all my idoneth assembled and ready for paint.

It's been what, 2 years or so since I started collecting them. So now getting ready for a mass paint session with them. First thing tho is my necron kill team.

The titan sold for $1300. Big smile on my face.

In the future, please use the modify button. Double posting is against the forum rules, and for that reason, the system merged your posts.

Well it always seems to happen...to me. Started building my night shroud necron bomber and got 2 number 4 engines and no number one. So now it's on hold til I can figure out if I can get one. :P



So I fell on to the Deathguard wagon. Have a nice force already. In the building stags now and will post pics when painting starts. 8)

Excellent - that's really cool! Did you get that for aesthetic choice? Don't like the GW version of the Loonshrine?

Just curious!

I tried for a long time to GW one but it eluded me everything. My friend got a 3d printer and was showing different things he could print. I saw this and said it's perfect and viola, it's mine. He just did this dice tower for me for my sisters of battle, beautiful dice tower.

Sorry not been around much. Life, well ,it happens. Anyhow, haven't been doing much on Warhammer stuff, playing shatterpoint a bunch. Now this last week on Friday got to play a little 10th edition, my necrons against tyranids. Got my butt kicked but it churned me enough that I got my Death Guard down, all assembled and just sitting in a box. I primered and base coated them all and have commenced some detail painting. I have a big goal to finish the entire army. Here's some big shots.

The death guard look good @dread. They remind me of that episode of Angels of Death: In the Company of death episode - your army is the same hues we saw of the death guard in that one :) !

Post by: PaxImperator on February 21, 2024, 02:40:12 PM
I'd be very intimidated at the sight of all those models awaiting their paint jobs. :o Perhaps the airbrush helps or you're just made of sterner stuff than me. Looking forward to your progress. I do have a soft spot for Death Guard!
Title: Re: Dread's Anything and everything
Post by: Guildmage Aech on February 23, 2024, 04:55:18 AM
The airbrush definitely makes batch painting this many models much more achievable. And the results are great, once one builds up suitable skill level like these!

Occasionally I think I should improve from rattle cans...
Title: Re: Dread's Anything and everything
Post by: PaxImperator on February 23, 2024, 01:46:43 PM
I find myself thinking the same thing sometimes, especially when I want to spray prime my minis and it's wet or windy outside. For now though, an airbrush is still too intimidating for me. I've got plenty to learn (or re-learn as the case may be) with plain old brush-on acrylics.
Title: Re: Dread's Anything and everything
Post by: Dread on February 25, 2024, 06:32:57 PM
Thanks guys. Yup doing this much at once can cause burn out for sure. But now that the base coating is outta the way, I've started with Mr fancy pants and all the leaders picking at the metal colors first. Slowly doing these a bit at a time as to not aches burn out. Will post more pics soon.
