Dawn of War - Squad Faidon

Just a quick update on the DoW - Project... I´ve been painting the second squad (Faidon) for few nights now. Here are the first pics.

Here they are assembled. I tried to make the poses different from squad Thales. I also used different bits this time.

Here they are with the white parts painted. I decided to paint the Cyclone missiles white this time... I think it´s a good color for them.

And here I´m done with the metal parts... I´m especially happy with the Sergeants power sword. That´s all this time. Gotta go... there´s some painting to do ;)

Dawn of War - Competition Started..!

 
Just a quick posting, for now it´s out there... Competition announced and started. Here´s a link to the Game Reactors (Finland) site, where you can take part to the competition. You have to live in Finland to take part through this link! Sweden. Denmark, and Norway will have their own competition of course... And there also, you have to be citizen to take part on the competition. So check out your local Game Reactor site to take part...

Anyways... I got my paint brushes on fire... Working on a second squad. I´ll post some WIP pictures soon :)

DoW - Squad Thales painted

 

Scanning the area...

 And here´s close ups of all the Terminators, with basing done :)

DoW - Heavy Flamer ready

I´ts been a while since last posting... Sorry bout that. A bit of a nasty flu in the family :) But I´m back on my feet again, and here´s few WIP pics of the Squad Thales Heavy Flamer.

 Here I´m done with painting red... And couple of bullet holes on the left leg. I just painted the holes with black, and then high lighted around the lower part of the hole with Blazing Orange.

And now I´m done with the metal parts. All is done as in the earlier posts... The heating effect on the flamer is done very simply, with few layers of Gryphonne Sepia wash. Then I high lighted the washed area carefully with Mithril Silver.

 

Here I´ve painted the white parts. Nothing special to say about that... :)

And here´s a shot from a different angle... Hope you like it!   So, Now the "Squad Thales" is complete. All five Termies painted, and I´m happy with the result. I´ve already taken the "happy group shot" and I will try and post it later to night... Over and Out, for now.

DoW- Assault Cannon and Cyclone Finished

Well, I got something done this weekend after all. The Assault Cannon was fast done after the last update. Then I jumped right out to the next one... Terminator with some serious fire power, (and that for my favorite) the Cyclone missile launcher :)  But first the pic of the finished Assault Cannon...

I think it turned out OK. At the finishing line I noticed a little detail missing from this one and the previous Termies... I forgot to paint the "flashy green" eyes!!! Well that´s corrected now :) 

 

I´m jumping ahead with the WIP shots on this one... right to the point where I have already painted the metal parts with Bolt gun metal, washed with Devlan Mud, high lighted with Chainmail and finally with Mithril Silver. I think the metal parts came out nicely... specially around the Cyclone "missile tubes". At this point I had also high lighted the red parts, first with Blood Red, and then with Blazing Orange.

Here´s the Terminator from the back, at the same point... Metals and Reds done.

Here´s the finished one... White parts done with Bleached Bone, wash with Gryphonne  Sepia, high lights with BBone again, and final high light with Skull White. Then some battle damage to the sholders... Everything done pretty much as told in the previous posting. In this pic you can also see the eyes painted :) I used Emerald Green, high lighted with the same color adding some Bleached Bone... There you have it. So there´s just one to go in this unit... that would be the heavy flamer. I´ll be back with that. And maybe some happy group shot of the unit :)
