Ork Trukk's.  WIP Templars.  Xenonauts!

6/27/2014

Comments

 
It's finally friday.  Sometimes weeks just drag...especially when you are waiting for your first codex release in 6 years.  Supposedly it's a mixed bag...I hear my killa kans are going to be crying.  We shall see!  In the meantime, I threw some paint on my ork trukk's, did a layer on some Templars for ETL, and played some Xenonauts!
Picture
If you've ever wondered....gee, I wonder how bad Greg's stuff looks like right when he starts...well here you go.


This is pretty much a super thin layer of ivanden darksun over a 50/50 boltgun chaos black base coat.  It needs a good coat or two more before I can start actually working on washes, highlights, etc.  

Picture
I've had these trukk's for a few years.  I generally use them to throw troops at my opponent, which means they never spend more then a turn on the table.  I've never really felt like painting them because of that.  Well that changes now!  Gotta distract with pretty colors!

Picture
My main plan for the trukk's is to do some yellow layers, wash with devlan mud, hit with some bright yellow highlights, then weather the heck out of them.  They're going to be my new test bed for weathering powders/techniques before I work on the mega dread and gorkanaut!

I've been using Watching Paint Dry's guide as a basis for my trukk's.  Really like his blog.  Lots of great tutorials, size comparisons, and builds.  Check it out!


Picture
I also worked a bit on my templar models.  I mainly did the tabards and purity seals.  This particular model is the terminator chaplain, which is an absolutely amazing model that is just covered with details.  I really wish they had given chaplains a bit better rules...I will probably end up playing him as a counts as inquisitor (which is really points effective by comparison).

Picture
The base here is Zandri dust.  I'll do two light coats, followed by a light screaming skull dry brush, then a wash.  (Followed by another dry brush of screaming skull).  Depending on the seal, I'll attempt to write some script on it...but I'm horrible at that.  We shall see!


Picture
Topic wise, I'm a bit all over the place today.  I apologize for that.  I've been spending a lot of time reorganizing and prepping, so my blog posts are a bit rushed.  I may need to adjust my days to spread them out a bit more. 

I did have a chance to pick up a new game via a steam sale.  Xenonauts!


If you loved the original xcom, you'll have a blast playing this game.  It brings back fond memories of X-COM. The research, the tactical screen, the squadmates shooting each other in the back accidentally.  What a great time!

Picture
Little bonus for you guys today.  Check out my new samus figure!

Of all the video gaming characters I've enjoyed playing in my life, my absolute favorite is Samus from metroid.  Those games (2D sidescrolling) are some of my all time favorites.  I ran into this figure on a random 40k blog, and just had to get my own.  It's a lovely figure, and extremely posable.  

Here's a link if you're interested in knowing more!

Bit of a short one this Friday.  Prepping for a 40k game on Saturday.  There won't be a battle report, as we haven't had much time to play with 7th edition first.  Gotta figure out the new missions before I double the time by taking photos!  Have a good one everyone!
