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.......

Arming for the Cypra Incident.......Looted Wagon

Hi All

Bluddtoof here with another update on my work for Waaagghhhh! Bluddtoof and our narrative campaign; "The Cypra Incident; Birth of The Beast of Cypra"
This time it's a shiny new Looted Wagon....



This is the fourth one I've built over the 20 years since I started this army, and definitely my favourite so far. It's based on a leman russ chassis which I widened and reversed the track sections. Then it was a simple matter of taking weapons from my bits box, the kilkannon was a spare from a battle wagon kit, the zap gun is actually a Forge world big zzappa but I like the oversized nature. The rokkits are old white metal from the depths of a 30 year old bits box, I frankly have no idea, please let me know if you recognise em.

Here's a few more angles...





















I love this model and I had a blast painting it, I applied a lot of sponge weathering and a combination of blended washes and weathering powders to try for a really grubby look. After the near catastrophe of the Deffkoptas I really reined in the colour palette for this and focused on a very red look.
I also did this on the last model for the next campaign mission; a wazbommblastajet which will be the subject of my next post.

Hope you like this, as ever C & C welcome.
