Stepping between Games - #Squaduary Feb 2018. Heresy Era Imperial Fists, Rapier Quad Bolter Battery......Part 3

Hi All

Bluddtoof here with another #Squaduary update; the Imperial Fists Quad Bolter Rapier Battery is coming along well. These photos are as of last night; I've got the metal done and the red detailing is complete, currently working on the rest of the detailing such as skulls, lenses, iconography and cables. Once that's done it's just transfers and final weathering to go, so I should be all good to finish by months end.

WIP piccies..............

Coming along well, however I wish I'd been more careful with removing the gates and other casting detritus as the bolters have suffered a bit and have some damage around the muzzles. I also tried a faster method of applying the seraphim wash in the recesses; it's worked ok and was significantly quicker but it has resulted in a slightly darker finish to the armour. Lessons learned!

Hopefully just 1 more post to come on these, this time next week....

Blood Bowl Orcs.............W.I.P.

Hi All

Bluddtoof ere with my first wip post on my Orcs for Blood Bowl!
I love Blood Bowl! So glad GW decided to re-release.
Here at The Code we're all well into this now with everyone frantically building, converting and painting a team for our first season!

I'm planning to collect and paint Orcs, Humans and Dwarves for starters, this should keep me busy for a bit. My Dwarf team arrived today and they're lovely models, but more on those in future posts.

For now some orcs......

That's the current state of the first Blitzer, currently working on the base, trying to match it to the Orc pitch...
I nearly used my usual Bluddtoof red, black and white colours but decided on something different. A while back I'd said to Doc I fancied painting a Blue army, I think we were discussing Mantics Warpath kick starter at the time. I saw this as an opportunity, with the Deathskull connection and I thought I'd go for the contrast of yellow armour playing on a Bad Moon connection too. Not decided on a team name yet or a logo but it'll come eventually I'm sure.

Here's a few pics of some of the previous steps I took when I remembered to, of the first 3 models to get some paint splatter...

Enjoying this as much because it's blood bowl as because it's a totally new colour scheme for me.

Anyhoo, more to come soon.
As ever C & C welcome.

Red Mists Sexy Yellow Enforcers

Hi everyone

Red Mist here, I've been quiet for a while but I've not been idol. 

As well as adding to my Khorne chaos marines army (more of that on another post to follow), we in the code have fallen upon Mantics new Deadzone game and boy are we excited.

When asked what faction I would like to be, there was only one answer, Enforcers, bringing justice to the darkest corners of Nexus Psi.

What colour to paint them, well I've never painted anything yellow so why not start with these, so here we have my strike team, so far, with some reinforcements on route ;-).

Team Mist in all its yellow glory!!!

and a close up shot....

Simple paint scheme, yellow base with earthshade wash, then a drybrush highlight, and a final wash to blend the shading a bit.

Dark and moody, just how I like it.

Next on the list is the scout... hard as nails... more to follow.

Hope you like.

Red Mist Out.
