Armies on Parade 2

Welcome back to my Armies on Parade WIP.

As you know i really didnt plan on doing anything for this, but changed  my mind spur of the moment and decided to bash it out.
Below is my progress, and as  you will see im more just finding my way around the board so not a lot is secured to the board yet apart from the main concourse

 I picked up the Basilica Administratum kit from Tabletop Tyrant in Leicester an will utilize this as a Shrine/Temple building in the corner with a long concourse leading up to it

I needed some steps leading up to the main door (as you do)

I will be building out the sides of the building by about 2 inches, And where you see the pipe sticking out (i may lower it) i will have an industrial type building (part of one) just so i can have a little water feature. 

Sorry about the pick i was to lazy to edit it. But as you can see it will be at the top of the main building not sure if i have finished the detail on this might spray it and then go back if i think it needs more. (gotta love instant mold, i made ten of these greenstuff icons)

What we have here is the main building that just needs extending slightly either side and also ive started building up the rockface on the left using cork and filler (i would have just used filler but too heavy overall) still not sure of the skulls yet but thats mainly because my eye is being drawn too, it may not be a problem when sprayed and painted, this will be part of a ruined building built on top of the carved rockface.

Ive built up the concourse and most likly will line the edges with lamps/street lights and flags/icons may also have a small parade ground to the left or maybe a death camp type stucture for those damn imperials.

So ive still got a fair bit to do but i can finally see some progress in the near future, too be honest i cant wait to get this finished and painted (oh the water is a fair while off need to start experimenting with 2 part resin too try and get a nice clear finish for the water which will be about 3 inches deep in the deepest part (any suggestions what i could use would be great) )  so i can crack on with the actual models.

See you soon

Armies on Parade

Two weeks ago i wasnt sure if i could be bothered with doing this Armies on Parade lark, then the other day i was out and about, had some cash in my pocket and had a little splurge in B&Q.
I was only in for twenty minutes, most of which was waiting around for someone too cut me a board.

I came out with this.

This cost me about £7.00 in total.



Today  i sketched a couple of basic ideas out and then started building, needless to say i quickly ignored what ideas i had and just went for gold.
I didnt even know what theme or even army i was going to use.

 As you can see from the pictures its coming along nicely, ive left it to dry for the night and ill be cracking on tomorrow still need to get some gear for it but i think its just going to develop without a plan.

I still need to decide what im using its most likly going to be Chaos thoough not sure if i want to go Space Marines or Traitor Guard/Renegades maybe Sons of Sek.

Cheers,
Decab

From the pictures below i just need to finish 1 butcher, 1 ironblaster, 2 Bulls and my BSB not to mention a couple of movement trays which i have finished this morning.

Yeah im recharged and ready to paint warhammer and warhammer 40k again. lets start with glowing eyes

Lets get back into.

Yeah im recharged and ready to paint warhammer and warhammer 40k again.

So first up is some eyes, more specifically Terminator eyes.
Now this is my first time at the glow effect for eyes and it took me a couple of tries to get where i wanted it and it looks pretty good, i dont think my pictures do it justice though it still isnt the best i could do but practice makes perfect.

As you can see there is some tidying up to do and will need to fine tweak the glazes on my next ones but on the  table as a unit they look pretty good, next up is gettin the rest of the armour and details finished.

Got bored the other day so painted up a gorger its nowhere near Eavy metal but looks great on tabletop

Missing out on the SCGT2013 and my ogre filth

So the SCGT 2013 tickets went on sale tonight.

As some might know this is the biggest WFB event of the year off the top of my head around about 180 players.
It managed to sell out in ten minutes (to be expected) selling a whopping 268 tickets so there may be a few disappointed people.

Deathwing progress

 

Been a slow couple of days  but carried on with the armour on these bad boys ive got final layer to do which will be a 25/75 Rakarth flesh/Ushabti bone  and finally a pure Ushabti highlight.     You may notice the eyes on one but scrapped that and decided that i would put my hand to the glow effect around the eyes.

Deathwing

So a little wip Deathwing termies ive started, just basecoat and wash so a bit more to do.  This is just the set out of Dark Vengeance im going to paint up for a small force, maybe 750 points.
