September Update

So, I have a quick update on what I have done over the month of September.  There was not a lot of painting done but a lot of building and printing of some Horus Heresy Mechanium before I switch gears and focus on my armies for Shorehammer coming this winter.

Missing update

 So I am not sure what happened the last couple of months but I have only finished one squad of the new Thallax cohorts to show for my work. I have built a few models but have yet to paint anything fully except these little guys.

Since I don't have a lot to talk about I thought I would lay out my paint scheme for the 30k Horus Heresy Mechanicum army.

I based these guys on my 40k Ad Mech army with a little twist.  I wanted to use a metallic paint for this army some I had to find one I liked.  The first one I tried was the same one I was using for my Orruks but I could it too bright and it is no longer available so I decided not to use it.

I ended up using  Folkart Multi-surface Tanzanite Metallic paint. It has a nice metallic feel and I got a bottle that will last me a decade.

For the Copper, I used one of my favorite colors. Pro Acryl Copper.  It is a nice and smooth paint. Easily a one-coat metallic that does not hide detail.

For the trim, I used the old formula of Army Painter Uniform Grey.  I am sure they have a new version of this color but this bottle should last me a while.

For the hoses I wanted a color that would pop so I used the Teseract Glow over a white basecoat.

For the face shield I used the Pro Acryl Silver color but I will be changing that to Army Painter rough Iron.  It looks better in my opinion but I have not had a chance to go back and fix these guys.

For the red tip on the weapon, I used Army Painter Gemstone red.

Lastly, I used Agrellen Earth for the base.

That is my paint scheme for the mechanicum army.  These guys fuzzed a bit on priming.  I am disappointed but I move on.  Better to have a fuzzy paint job over no paint job.

Have a good one and I hope to have more done by the end of September.  Wish me luck.

June Update

 

Another month has gone and more hobbying has been done.  Let's take a look at what I have done this time.

May Update

Another month has passed and I continue down the hobby trail with a smattering of different armies.  Let’s take a look…

 

April Update

Hello again friends.  For some strange reason, I have been putting off this update for no good reason.  So, before I delay another day I thought I would just throw it together.  After last month’s huge monster, I took a couple of weeks off to relax and I did nothing.  After that rest, I got back into it and worked on a few pieces.

 

March Update

Another month in the books. This month I focused on one thing, my hierophant. This beast of a model was made by one of my favorite 3D artists, Station Forge. If you are looking for some proxies there is a good chance that Station Forge has made it. I joined his tribes since one model is more expensive than the subscription and there is rarely a month where I don’t want one of his models.

February Update

 

Hey, I came back with another update! This month was mostly a Ironjaws month with a sprinkle of Tyranids and one sneaky Ork. You can see my progress through the month on Instagram if you don't want to wait for these updates.
