Dibbler Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Got a couple of bones speed painted. Feels nice to just slap paint at some cheap models! Oswald the overladen is even promoted to NPC, and the PC's have landed on the etheral plane.. Mahahaha! Lord tyrant Hexeris, Skorne Warlock. My first real experiment with cork basing, what do you think? :) The humble beginnings of a painting contest entry. Figured I could do Trash It! and Be a Spaceship Superstar at the same time. Got the ape because he is awesome, but I always felt that his pose is reallyreally in combat. In comes the space dwarves from the mantic christmas box. The plan is to have the right hand dwarfs fire some laser-wire-tech at him. Not sure which category to enter it in, as it is a diorama containing a squad attacking a single figure. Paint first choose later. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonator Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I put a pile of photos and a description of my celebration in Norge on the Off Topic Rampancy page "Jasontor's Trip to Norway". Didn't want to thread jack you :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibbler Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 I suddenly got inspired and started working on a warmachine water tower! I was starting to gather materials for trash it, I think that may have helped. Not sold on the legs, but the plastic thingie from the old coffee maker pot had notches there :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibbler Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 Paint on the watertower! ..Next time I'll base coat the rust in rust, not metal 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibbler Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Camera battery just died on me! Seems to do that every time I get around to get some pictures! Back from vacation, got some base coats going :) Finished the watertower some time back :) Edited August 5, 2014 by Dibbler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibbler Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Got some paint on these guys! Base red/purple, drybrush gold, basecoat the rest and fix up :) Time to layer! Watertower-pics: I use it when I play warma-hordes at my place, The greenery and stuff on the ground marks a see-through obstruction that provides concealment :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibbler Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 Incinidiarii grunt and willbreaker on their way to show off. Two new grunts primered :) Hmm, I should paint something reaper for fun again, but my warmahordes army is calling for me! And the LTPK lady is still half finished :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KruleBear Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 That water tower is nice Dibbler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibbler Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 Thanks! My Trash-it diorama won't be done for the contest, but at least the "use junk as supplies" way of thought inspired me to do the water tower :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slendertroll Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 The Ape-X diorama would be just that, a diorama. For it to qualify as a squad, the minis would have to be separate (not on the base) and Ape-X wouldn't belong. I'm also planning on double-dipping in these contests, and don't forget that Ape-X also qualifies for the Year of Giants contest! That water tower is pretty awesome, by the way! I love that burnished copper look; how'd you achieve that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibbler Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) Ahh, no choice problems, then :) Still, I won't get it done in time for trash it. I had given up with spaceship superstar, but with the year of giants.. That water tower is pretty awesome, by the way! I love that burnished copper look; how'd you achieve that? Some of it is a actual brass colored paint (the tube and stuff), most of it is cheapo metallic paint drybrushed over black, with a number of brown-red washes :) Edited August 11, 2014 by Dibbler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibbler Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Two more dudes base coated and drybrushed in gold. Now for clean up! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibbler Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 First pass, group shot. There is this technique I've seen in the warmahordes books, where you paint the armor metal, then wash the pits. That way you shade it and line it at once. I have tried it, but didn't manage to do it. I always seemed to make a mess of everything, needing to re-gold the edges anyway. When going over the mini with red, I managed to get it going here and there! xD Perhaps with more brush control, I might be able to do this real quick.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
