LXXXI: the Iron Halo STC Battle Bunker




This is an early WIP shot of a terrain project I've been working on. Basic construction+surfacing is done, and now we're at the fun "gluing on the details" stage. The door pictured here is just a place holder for now (I'm actually using that door for a more 'damaged' terrain piece).

I'm calling it the Iron Halo STC Battle Bunker, and I'm putting my own twist on it, but in the spirit of full disclosure the original idea came from toposolitario.

A full tutorial for this guy with photos and printable templates is in the works too, I just need to get some Legos first, to get some better control over my press-molding. More to come.

LXXVII: First Rainbow

Ug, the light in here is utter shit. I'll get better pictures soon (promise). He's actually not a bad looking mini in real life. A lot of 1st times with this guy;
  • 1st time using non-GW paints.
  • 1st time applying waterslide transfers.
  • 1st time printing waterslide transfers. (thank you BoLS).
  • 1st time using Dullcoat.
  • 1st time using weathering powders.

I think he came out looking pretty good, all things considered.

I've got a test figure 90% painted in the "standard" Chapter colours, and I've just started another one to try out this cammo scheme. Pictures soon.

LXXV: Rainbow Warriors



I'll be using the Blood Angels codex for these guys I think, as I want a distinctly different play-style than my Plague Marines.

I'll mostly be concerning myself with the 2nd Battle Company: "The Brothers Vermilion", under Brother Captain Kahanamoku.

First up is test marine, then the rest of a Tactical Squad (all beakies), then maybe a Land Speeder. We'll see how it goes.
