Klanky!

My Goff paint scheme now locked in, and now the method for all the vehicles (which you know, in a Dread Mob is a bit!).

First Kan off the new paint job rack, Klanky!

RAWR.

IH WIP

So I have managed to replicate the IH scheme, very easily, so looks like I can finally get back to working on them!

At some point I am also going to paint a test rhino, to get the vehicle scheme sussed. Seeing as I have a Felblade, Spartan, Armoured Proteus, Venator, and Deimos Rhino to paint, this will be awesome.

New IH scheme test model #2

So I wasn't super happy with the last attempt so I did another one with less black in the grey. I like it a lot, and very quick and easy too. I was impatient and fucked up the wash on the chest a bit but thats easy to fix. I may also add some chipped paint to the elbows.

I can do all my normal troops like this, and bling the models up more the higher they are in the chain of command.

I have pretty much my whole IH army currently soaking in simple green so will clean them in batches of 5 and try alternating between painting them, my Mech, and my Necrons. That should keep me motivated, instead of painting pretty much the same model over and over.

Oh and I also refined my Necron scheme a bit. Made the gold actually gold not bronze, and also made the energy effect look more like my Mech weapons since I think its really effective. This is at the same stage as my Mech guys, ready for transfers/weathering, although I'm not sure I want to use any transfers on Necrons.

New IH scheme test model

So I also decided to try the scheme on my IHs, as I'm not having much joy with my UMs. Works pretty well. Think I went overboard on the wash though, as the metal is darker than I would like. Then again, post Istvaan IHs would be fairly battered, and the dark metal, chipped paint and dirty/rusty armour all work towards that theme.

Necron test model

So I tried "The Method" on a Necron Immortal, and it is definitely gonna work for a Necron army. The turquoise needs to be toned down with weathering powders but apart from that very happy! There is bronze on there, as I didn't want to go over the top with bling and use gold. It is hard to see however due to my shitty photos.

Ultramarines test model

So I have been on an Ultramarines buzz last few days as I want an allied Space Marine chapter for my Cult Mech, and I have always meant to do some smurfs.

I tried painting a test model using the same method used for the Cult Mech, and using the same green lenses etc and the same red to tie them in with the allied force. The model is up to the same point as the Cult mech, pre-transfers/weathering.

I'm not 100% sold on it, I love the blue, just not sure about using the chipped armour method, or as Aaron calls it "The Method". Hopefully the weathering brings it home.
