Dread-Full December, Waaaghh! Bluddtoof, Ork Kanz and Dreads.

Hi All

So here's my final entry into Dread-Full December; the Dreads and Kanz of Waaghh! Bluddtoof!
Hope you like 'em;

















Now that that's done, time for me to start on my Grot Tanks! Huzzah!

Merry Christmas to you all and see you all in 2014!

It always takes longer than you think...

DOC and the Brushboyz came round at the weekend to help me try and complete the mammoth task of painting all these walkers.
In fairness, I am sure Drow didn't expect to begin the day by changing some strip lights in the garage... but such is the organised life of a crazy scratch builder with a 4 month old daughter... (My wife is very understanding... amazingly so in fact!)
so anyway..
Friday night I did my best to base all the Kans, but sadly didn't have enough time to get everything done, it's amazing how the basing process always takes longer than you think.
Everyone will base things differently I'm sure, with these Kans, as with many of my projects, I usually have precious little time for anything other than a cursory bit if sand and gravel PVA'd.
As I learned many years ago, applying a watered down PVA seal coat once this is all in place means you won't find sand and Gravel in your army case afterwards!
Roll forward just over 12 hours, and some strip lights later and it was Saturday afternoon, Drow and I had based the remaining models and undercoated everything apart from the Dreads. Then DOC finished work and came round (with another strip light!) and we got to work.
I'd discussed the Paint scheme with DOC earlier in the week so knew roughly what I was doing, and I'm fairly pleased with the results, I think they hold up as a group, but up close it's clearly evident there have been several different hands in these, although that said, I'm sure it's nothing that a bit more detail and a (magic) Devlan Mud Wash can't sort out...
This is where the three Brushboyz got to by Saturday night. (with a bit of Hypa work on Sunday morning)
Below are two DOC painted Kans against one I have brought to 90% completion (some finer details are missing)



I had spent most of Sunday bringing 6 Kans from Basecoat colours up to the 90% mark (Drow and I had been working on them the night before). DOC took the thee he had almost finished home with him, and that leaves three in the hand of another Code Member, though by and large the Kans are finished.

all this leaves then.... are the Dreads and the Mega Dreads and Meka Dread,
Here is the current state of play on them.

..Do you know.
I am beginning to be very grateful that I have taken Friday off Work *just in case*
Hope you like the progress so far... and if you are a Beakie going to the SVA Tournament this year.
Be afraid!
Kind Regards
Hypa

The Dreadmob Grows!

OK, been a while since an update... but I *promise* I haven't been slacking (well apart from tonight.. special dispensation from the Warboss and all that ;)
so first up, was the state of play about a week ago. 8 kans completely finished, as pictured below, however it wasn't long before these little fellas were to be broken up like a litter of new puppies and sent off to a new (albeiot temporary) home!

See DOC's stirling post's on their new and exciting journey!

Then, in the last week, I made some more progress. and by progress... I mean PROGRESS!!!
(and there was the recruitment of a local Spanna boy to throw into the mix!)

Below are the remaining 9 Kans which include 2 of the 8 above, (you might be able to spot them!) and 7 of their new, grot filled brethren, all steeling to kick somefink big an Green!
The, erm, large chap in the distance might be recognisable from a previous post...
Yes,. the Meka dread is in Town!



So this monstrosity has been created with removable Rokkit Bomm Racks, a Shunta (which is basically an Old Dark Eldar Raider piece, with Eldar weaponry shoved on in spades) and a dead bigg Rippy Klaw which I think is made from Grabba Klaws (Kindly donated by local Warbosses!)


Along with a top down, and reare view. This Behemoth is fully riveted, with feet and everything, and now just needs a road test to prove how dead 'ard an killy he is!




Hope you like them, and with just under two weeks until SVA-XI it's going to be tight, and a lot of Grots might get squished along the way! (But I'm sure it will all end right!!)

Less words more piccies you say?

uh ok!

This week and Last I have been working on a Boomwagon and Some Kans..


Here are my results!






So.
I am aware that these probably need more work, I am neither the bestest nor the fastest of painters ;)
However I am on a tight schedule for SVA X and I need to make sure everytything is tabletop standard!

If I am being honest I would quite like to get some edging work on all the blue sections of these Kans as well as get some rusting on the brazen brass sections to show copper discolouration, however, if I have time to come back to these then I will definitely do that!

I now have my Kans, and my Boomwagon done then, and next week I am looking forward to a week off, so this should allow me to tackle some rank and file boyz!!!

Thanks for looking :D
