Blog Warden's Other Paint Log

Thanks; I also enjoyed the contrast between the blue-gray city bases and the cloaks. I am planning to use the same base scheme as I continue my Necromunda models in the future... and I have already used them for the aliens I made a while back.

I also did up a Sydonian Dragoon with his taser-lance the other day:





This model is fully magnetized, so he can pull double duty as an ironstider ballistari if I want him too:



I may or may not have been playing the Knights of Cydonia music while assembling and painting this guy

 

Second batch of Skitarii Rangers of Ryza are complete, this time with backpacks and some slight orange highlighting on the cloaks

The Alpha (squad leader) with his pistol and power maul/mace/blunt instrument

All ten as a group, hope to do the Vanguard later this week:

 

Very nice! You're getting some work done

I like the contrast between the Green and the Orange
And both colors against the dark metal bits.

Looking forward to the Vanguard

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Thanks!

Tech Priest Dominus complete!

Spoiler

Need to come up with a suitably admechanical-name for him. I am thinking his title should be "Xenoarchivist," as in fluff he could easily be one of the many underlings of "Xenophagest Hexterramere Voght," a Ryza named character who is on an epic quest through the stars to find the Ork homeworld "Orkadia" and unlock the genetic sequences and secrets of the Ork species in order to defeat them...

Closeup face photo!



All weapons options for this guy are magnetized as well:

 

Sorry for the mini "Like Bomb". I was behind on checking out these posts. Really cool and creative work, as usual, @Warden.

 

Magnets rule!

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Thanks!

I got some work done on the archaeoraptor this week, more work still to do:



He is magnetized as well, weapons options for the bomber and the fighter variant. Wings too.

Here is is next to one of the recently completed Ork Zeppelins; he doesn't fly quite as high as the zeppelins do but they look good in scale next to each other I think. Ork is the bigga one of course

 

My Skitarii vanguard are now complete:



Squad 1, with the taser-goad toting Alpha and plasma gunner:

Spoiler: Squad 1

Alpha and the plasma gunner:

These guys were not as fun to paint as the rangers. Those tiny green glowy-bits on the weapons were an absolute pain to paint . That right there may be the reason I don't paint any more skitarii vanguard

Squad 2, with second plasma gunner and enhanced data-tether:

Spoiler: Squad 2

Data Tether and plasma gunner:

Here are the two Alphas from the vanguard and the rangers:



Both with primary weapons attached to their backpacks:

 

On the plus side, my dunecrawler is nearly complete. The gunner on top is done:



...and most of the pieces are complete, just some detail work to do later this week:

 

Loving the Zeppelins and your 40K Ork answer to a Doom-Diver!

 

Great paint jobs Warden

 

Onager Dunecrawler is complete!



My favorite weapon of the bunch is the Icarus Array, mostly because of the tiny missiles in the weapon box:



Magnetized so I can use all the options:

Spoiler: other weapon variants

Eradicator Beamer:



Twin Phosphor blaster:



And the big gun, the Neutron Laser:

With the Dunecrawler complete, so is my Admech Starter Box that started it all!



Love how they all look with the Ryza color scheme. Only other Admech unit I have on my painting table is the flyer itself, which is now all washed up and ready for the second round of paint coats.

 

Well done sir, well done.
It is a joy to behold

I am in Love with the colorscheme, as said before. Great work on the Dunecrawler good work on the details

Nice to see them together on the table

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Still working my flyer and moving onto the second dunecrawler. Really loving how these large bases have turned out though:



They were simple to make, with bits of necromunda bases cut up, foam, and leftover parts from my junk bin.

 

...small side distraction, but I finished my cherry tree multi-bases!



Made four of them, super simple. Just foam board with sand/rocks added to the top, plus flock. Magnetized so they can be tiny little "forests" to play skirmish games with:



Some action shots of ronin defending a shrine from invading samurai:



Ambush!

Spoiler

All the trees fit into these two bins, along with the new multibases:

 

Very nice work! I like the colorful blossom.

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Thanks!

Archaeoraptor is now done enough for me, he was hard to paint but fun to put together:



All parts magnetized:

Spoiler: pics

Back of the fighter variant with twin lascannons:



Bomber version:



Bombs!



Underside of the wings are painted light brown, can't see that from the rest of the pictures.

I am thinking to go back over the metal on this guy, some of it got too dark, but for now he is finished.

 

Lovely!
(Fan of magnets )

I like the distinction between the black wingflaps from the top and the beige from the bottom

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Second dunecrawler for my Ryza Adeptus Mechanicus army is complete, and with it all the admech I have on hand!



Dunecrawler #2 was made with some cast legs (same ones I used for my samurai jack akubots way back on page 16) and a hefty helping of other pieces from internet bitz sellers.



Overall this one painted much cleaner (and faster) than the last one. I enjoyed rigging the top for this one, using the binoculars to stand in for a turret rider.



Totally no AI controlling this thing, you can trust me I work for the imperium



Both have turrets fully magnetized so I can use all the guns I made for the first one.



Until I get another big neutron laser, I will probably run the first one with the Icarus Array, and the second with the laser.

 

The forces of Ryza Forgeworld all assembled for battle!
