Better start painting my own shiz..


First up is a unit or Warp Talons I got my eldest son for Christmas.  I got my youngest Chaos bikers by request - and both agreed on the nightlords colour scheme after perusing the Chaos Codex.  I was secretlely please because I <3 the Midnight Clad.  Crap photos, all ive done is a base of black, a Coat of kantor Blue , Mephiston red eyes, and edging in Balthazar Gold.  I need to tidy it up, put on some lead belcher, then a nuln oil wash.  Then I will do the face, claws, highlights etc and go over the trim with a brighter gold.

  4. No problem at all with the jump packs or little winglet things, and I also have no problem putting grips on bolters the correct way around, or putting doors on rhino's inside out :)

    And a bit dark, but they are crap photos and there is a lot of black primer still showing, next photos i will make sure there is more natural light, or use a proper camera rather than my phone.

  6. I lucked out and got some Necron Abyss, so may go over them with that, and use the existing colour - Kantor blue for some highlights - Kantor blue is the new Regal blue

  8. I am a paint by numbers kind of guy - I need a recipe to follow and most recipes use GW colours. Also, I can buy them locally which helps
