Quick hit today - After muddying up the tracks on the three tanks for the Dark Angels force, I figured I'd better go back and give the Termites the same treatment so everything matches!
As the Termites are supposed to be tunneling up from below, I tried to focus the mud and crud towards the front of the models, and running down along the track sections to the rear. Didn't want to go TOO overboard, but they're definitely dirtier than the tanks!
I was initially suspicious of the texture paints but after giving them some further drybrushing and washes I have to admit I'm really digging the outcome. Definitely will be adding them to my repertoire in the future!
A little spreadsheet porn to round things off. With these being done, everything intended for use at NOVA coming up at the end of August is complete! All that remains is one final Land Raider, which I couldn't fit into any of the lists points-wise. Now the conundrum - Do I press on and finish off the last lone tank and call the force complete, or do I move on to some other project? Gotta admit I'm getting army fatigue painting Dark Angels, it might be time to delve back into the Underhive and paint up the glut of Necromunda miniatures that have been crowding the 'to be painted' shelf...
They look fantastic mate, nice job.
ReplyDeleteCheers! I'm pretty jazzed with how they turned out!
DeleteThey do look good. But looking forward to more Necromunda !
ReplyDeleteThanks! Aye, been itching to get some brush time in on all the FW hired guns and whatnot. Very soon!
DeleteLook awesome . . . but . . . . I will not be able to sleep until that 'Raider' is done to complete the spreadsheet. Just saying ;0)
ReplyDeleteHaha! Indeed it's bothering me as well. May have to just buckle down and knock it out. :D
DeleteLooking very well, starting to change my mind on those models. Fair play.
ReplyDeleteThanks man! Aye, seems like they're a bit of a polarizing design - Having had them in-hand I have to say I really dig 'em!
DeleteThese are smashing mate and the addition of the texture paint makes them all the better. Finish the army I say, but as I'm behind on reading your posts, I'm sure I'll find out your decision shortly.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Yup, all done now! :D
