So today is old stuff day a brainchild of the Warhammer 39,999 blog but to be honest I picked it up from Dave on Confessions of a 40k adict. The idea is today we celebrate the old but good posts of our blog and others. Code40k blog has been going for over 6 years now so there is quite a lot to choose from! The authorship over the blog has changed over the years with the only constant being me!
Watching the work of some of the other Code guys got me inspired so I decided to have a little mess about with some apps on the IPad and managed to pop a small video together. Have a watch if your so inclined, I apologise it's a little rough around the edges but it's a learning curve and feed back is greatly appreciated :)
Ok give up with the crappy jokes already. Tonight I want to showcase my finished tanks for the first two games of The Cypra Incident. Really happy with the end result and enjoyed the weathering process immensely.
Before I launch into the new stuff in case you haven't been following the progress on arming for the Cypra Incident please click here.
Ok first off a few photos for new models I have finished alongside the tanks:
I have another 26 models on the go at various stages. I am using a mixture of models to represent the army from cultists, forgeworld, catachan guard and necromunda figures. I think this creates the feel of an army on the verge of turning away from the imperium having been abandoned on backwater planet.
Next up is the main showcase video for the tanks. This time I have gone for a showcase video as opposed to a picture of my shiny head (thanks INNERMECH!). 3 of these tanks are old models which have been stripped and re painted which has worked really well. Hopefully this will be the last time I repaint them!
As always please leave your comments and suggestions for improvements.
Today is my first ever attempt at a post under the watchful eye of DOC! and also our first attempt at a showcase video.
I have spent the last couple of weeks working on my first legion for 30K and have tried a number of new techniques including OSL, Weathering, Sponge Weathering and airbrushing.
When painting black it is a reverse shading effect by painting the lighter colours on the underside in this case I sprayed vallejo dark sea grey followed by vallejo light grey and blended it vallejo black.
The bases were my first attempt at a Mars effect using forgeworld "Rust" weathering powder. I felt
the bases were a great contrast to the darker colour scheme of the first legion.
Enjoy the video and please comment below as I would like to understand how to make them better!
We will be doing more showcase videos here on Code40K so please click subscribe on our new youtube channel. Doc has already put a couple of videos for you to enjoy.
This weekend GW held its Horus Heresy weekender and lots of cool new stuff has been revealed along with a Heresy themed Golden Demon. So I read loads of blogs, facebook groups and so on. So I thought I would share a few links for you all so you can get a good round up of the weekender.
