Floating on the wind

No self respecting 30k hero can do without an altar, particularly one that floats!

This is the altar for Archmagos Draykavac.

Yes, it was a very complicated piece to get through, especially with the floating skull things.  It required some particularly close work with the heat gun!

You can also see that multiple weapon options were magnetized.  Shots of everything together tomorrow!

Asharah Raging

Once again, another Raging Heroes figure from my Dark Eldar army.

In fact, I used this figure as my Archon.  There were a number of outstanding bits left over, which I was able to use on several of my Incubi conversions!

Also, many of the Raging Heroes character kits are designed to function in either a Fantasy or Sci fi environment, depending on which bits you choose.

I had to use the fan option on the figure to the right...

Much more to come... including pictures of my Blood Vestal squad!

A bad hair day?

This very unusual figure is Archmagos Draykavac, part of the Forgeworld Mechanicus line.

I am almost done with the altar section of this piece, which I will post tomorrow night.

Safe to say all the power cables and such can drive a person nuts :-)

It Rages again...

I didn't realize just how many Raging Heroes figures I have around here... many of which were painted for my Adepticon tournament army a few years ago.

I used various Blood Vestals and characters such as this with my Dark Eldar army.

The kickstarter has been live for almost a week now... here it is!

More Dragoons

More and more Dragoons keep getting added onto the original batch...

It's definitely beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

It has certainly snowed enough this spring to bring Santa down early.

It still amazes me how different they look with a slightly different color coat!

And yes, still having fun painting horsies!!

The bird's eye view...

Coming at you!  More coming as well.

Sister power!

Here she is... the second Yi sister from Wild West Exodus.

The kickstarter enters the final day.

Just hours to go!!!!

Painting the Battle Train... Lawman style

With the return from Adepticon not quite achieved, I attempted to get some paint on it prior to our podcast.

The initial layers were simply a mix of black craft paint and some metallics.

These are still early days in the painting process, but I wanted to sketch out some things.

I really was not set on a particular color scheme, but I knew that I wanted it to be a hybrid of what I was doing with both the Lawmen and my Union posses...

So, the markings would definitely have to be a combination of both!

Much more detail will be added as time goes by, but I am working through what might be RJ-1027 glow, weathering, and other items.

Lathan is also working on some rails for this beast, which will truly complete the ensemble.

I will be picking out lots of the rivets, using weathering products, such as Secret Weapon powders, and more.

The interiors have no paint at all, so I will be doing that in the coming days as well.  That will not be easy, as I will have to dig that brush down into those crevices... 

Looking back at an even earlier stage, you can see what the rear cars looked like with no freehand, and no picking out of edges, or anything of the sort.

I knew that it would make a significant difference, but I am really surprised just how much it has!

There will also be a lot of reinforcing of the darker lines, which inevitably get wiped out a bit.  I will also be doing some final layers of dust powders along the bottom sections of each car as well.

I decided that this train should be part of the Union Pacific Railroad, as all of the trains are coming from the Eastern U.S.  These trains will be loaded with all kinds of heavy gear, destined for Wappelville.

After the recent epic battles in town, there will be much that needs to be replacing.  Interceptors, Ur Lawbots, even more of the terrifying air machines!!

Carpathian will not allow such massive amounts of weaponry to get to Wappelville... I think it's quite likely that the dastardly alliance of Carpathian and Jesse will lead to serious carnage on the Rails!!!
