Blog Birthing a New Army

That is what I was thinking as well, I am planning to be able to run the model as a basic battleline steg too so I need to accommodate for when there is no throne or skink chief to cover that magnet.

 

Even with normal stegadon, there is always crew that can cover it.

 

That is a fair point.

 

Some slight progress on some guard models.



2 generations on primer/basecoats. I have made some swings in my recipes.

 

Also, my wet and dry palette side by side...

 

Oooe I love that colorful Saurus
That would look awesome in a full unit.

Keep up the great work

Grrr, !mrahil

 

Thanks! Like I said, I am kinda going for Mardis Gras on parade, just wait til I get all 35 of them painted up...eventually

 

Figuring out what corners I need to cut to finish up this first batch of Guard.



Just have the gold and shields left on the first 5 (sure, I have to do up the eyes and shading, and straps...), but that leaves 10 more to do by the end of November. Easy peasy, right?

 

All magnets are in place, and it's ready to prime and paint next month!

 

Another night spent chipping away at my guard. Shield is still wet...

 

Wow, I hope my guards will look at least half as good. That is some quality work right there.

 

Such a fantastic scheme! My wife says it's one of the best she has seen (not in the hobby but has to deal with it ) and I can't help but agree, only topped by the actual work put into painting it. I look forward to seeing the army.

 

ADHD strikes and now I have 2 units of Knights repaired and primed.

 

Continuing the goal bypass is some base colours on my knights. Going to have to bust out the paintbrush next no matter the project...

Red to yellow...


And a little green for posterity...

 

Looking great!

 

Test model, shifting to blue scales on the younger saurus warriors (non-temple guard saurus). Realized I missed a spot after looking at the pick. I am kinda unsure if I want the cold one's scales to be black, or shift to a dark brown on the way down.

 

Some small steps forward...


I have the black scales painted on five of the cold ones, and the blue scales on two and a half of the riders. I am thinking of going browning purple for the saddle blankets and straps, and a blackish-brown leather with gold for for the saddles themselves.

 

Doing a speedrun build/paint of a model that I am gifting to a friend who doesn't play anymore, but GW just finally released the sculpt for the leader of his army.

It is split into parts and is just about ready for primer.

 

I have made some progress on Angron before ADHD struck...
