Arming for Cypra Incident Showcase - Forgeworld Maraunder Bomber

Hi All,

Doc back again with the second showcase post in as many days this time the big boy the Maraunder Bomber.  First off to say I am happy this model is over it has been a pain in the ass!  The mold at foregworld is clearly at the end of its shelf life and the sheer weight of the thing makes it hard to work with.  The standard flying base in my opinion isnt sufficient for this model so I enlisted Innermech aptly named in this case to build me a new one!  That took two attempts as the weight broke the first one instantly.  Anyway its all finished now and forms the centre piece of our next mission in the Cypra Incident.  Boss Bludtoof will be posting up more on that soon.  In the meantime if you want to catch up on all the posts in the cypra incident click here.

Here goes showcase time followed by a family photo of all my flyers:

As always hope you like the newest member of the 19th Dicers if you would like to add a constructive comment please do so.  If you want to ask any questions on how any of this was achieved go right ahead.

Cheers

Arming for Cypra Incident Showcase - Avenger Strike Fighter

Hi All,

Doc here back after the Christmas hiatus (not January as I have been busy) Anyway this is a short post to showcase my Forgeworld Avenger Strike Fighter.  This plane will form part of my air wing for our upcoming airfield mission in our narrative campaign the Cypra Incident.  If you haven't been following along or would like a recap click on the picture on the top left of the blog and it will take you to all the posts for the narrative campaign.  Needless to say we have been going since 2016 and are likely to go until 2020!  That is simply because of rule of cool every time we play we have built and painted new minis but also a significant amount of scenery including swamp terrain, fencing and tower set, and two new building for this next mission.

I digress this post as I say is about the Avenger Strike Fighter so here goes with some pictures:

This first picture is early WIP after the airbrushing phase for the two flyers I am working on (bit of a massive hint for next post) This shoes the pre shading and main base colour for the planes all done with an airbrush.

All the next photos are showcase of the finished model.

Hope you like the plane as always constructive feedback is welcome.  Also if you want to know how I achieved any of these results just ask away.

Thats All Folks

Arming for The Cypra Incident........ Wazbom Blastajet and Scenery

Hi All

Bluddtoof here with the next update on my progress towards our next mission in "The Cypra Incident"; our narrative campaign. This time its a showcase of my new Wazbom Blastajet.

This completes my army for the next mission; "Airfield Assault" which will see Docs 19th Dicers attempt to destroy the Orks air capability in a 2 pronged attack on the greenskins only airfield in the region. More on the the mission brief in my next post though, for now here's a load more shots of the Blastajet working through the process....

I loved painting this model, I tried some new tricks which I'd learnt from Doc in our last scenery building session. I base sprayed the model black then masked off the pilot and sprayed leadbelcher, this was then shaded with blended washes of Reikland, Seraphim and Agrax. Once dry matte varnish overall then I masked everything I wanted to stay metallic and used hairspray followed by all over Mephiston red spray. This was then weathered with a toothbrush and once I'd got the wear I wanted a good coat of varnish to fix it all. Then it was the usual detailing with patchwork primary colours and a load of heavy weathering with sponge and powders.
It's come out nice and grubby and red, so well happy.

And here's the finished scenery we built and painted for the mission. Doc and I put most of the work in with airbrushes in one big session and I've finished them off with some weathering and the grass tufts.

As ever C & C is welcome, keep an eye out for posts on the next mission brief and a battle report once the Orks have krumped dem umies.......
