The +2 Screamers are an undersized Unit, and magnetizing the Chariot to be able to run it either as a Exalted Flamer on Chariot/Exalted Flamer on Foot or go the other route to be able to run it as a Herald on Disc or Herald on Chariot could give you alternative options. I went the Magnetizing route to do the Herald on Disc/Chariot myself. (It also made painting the Disc easy as pie.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drib Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I will only paint them together. And yes, I did magnetize the Herald on Disc/Chariot. But I like to keep the Screamer Seperate to paint the magic effect on their tail and for easier access to the belly. I also like smaller bases for some of my models (damn you offical base size list!) e.g. I put the chariot on a 72mm oval Base and my Achaon on a 120mm Oval, they seemed so lost on the bigger ones ...

The chariot actually covers the full footprint of the 120mm oval, and it means I didn’t have to worry seriously about visibility of the screamer bellies. On my Exalted Flamer chariot they actually sit really low on the base and I could probably have not painted the belly at all. With the upcoming change to base to base measuring, the 120mm oval base gives it a suitable footprint, and I don’t have to worry about other models bumping into the Screamers on the table. I didn’t glue the Screamers to the chariot base until Painting was done either, I used blu-tac to hold them until it was done, and the 120mm base gave some opportunity for modeling and basing details and I didn’t have to worry much about the underside of the Screamers.

Painbringer Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 First time pledge. I will paint unit of Tree-Revenants and finish painting on the last remaining Kurnoth Hunter. Maybe paint some Bloodletters and start painting Skarbrand a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painbringer Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Here's the first two painted Tree-Revenants - since I've already used this scheme on another unit, the painting is fairly quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artobans Ghost Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 High warden on a gryphon. This is the leader of my aelves in the ‘what will be’ Matorean 1st Company. Human, aelf, duardin, and stormcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirjava13 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 First time using an airbrush, with the colourshift paints from Green Stuff World into the bargain! Talk about diving in at the deep end. Speaking of which... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Great choice! Look forward to seeing more shark. I use a couple of the colour shifts on my plague drone wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syph0n Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Getting there now with my Drakespawn Knights. Just a bit of fine detail work. Spines, gold and faces to do. I'll probably do some final highlighting. Also getting there with the Chariot. Feel confident I'll have at least 1 totally complete unit, including the Knights.

MrZakalwe Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 20 Highborn Archers painted and ready to be attached to bases. Just experimenting with what's the best way to base a painted mini so should be over soon. That will bring me to 50 painted Highborn archers when complete (although these 20 are noticeably better paintedthan the others which is annoying) just in time for GW to remove them from the game.

Walrustaco Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 My pledge is slightly altered. My GUO, Scrivener and plaguebearers are all 95% done and just need basing but I'm proud to say I wasn't totally distracted by these lovely Duardin. I'm buying a new leadbelcher spray today and plan to do my other 5 Irondrakes and get started on 10 Ironbreakers and 10 Longbeards. I realise my Irondrakes may have been a bit simply done, but I just find the painting of gold trims over a silver base very relaxing and think they look tabletop ready as they are. Any advice for basing for these dorfs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They work just fine with ordinary shades, though you may need to gloss them back up, as with other metallics. I use nuln gloss to darken the area nearer the wings on mine. I paint them all over with toxic purple, which is shifting green/purple, and paint the edges in psychotic illusions, which is a teal/purple/red. It gives them an almost petrol-spill look, with naturally lighter tips. If you don't want to do anything quite as dramatic, you can mix the chameleon paint with stormhost silver to make a brighter highlight layer.

Soulsmith Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Best I can do to show you. It's only a few layers over the toxic purple so it has a lot of that in its colouration. There are some good examples online, psychotic illusions is a popular one. Lots of alpha legion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirjava13 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Putting Nebula Copper over the eels of my Morsarr Guard- hot damn it takes a lot of coats! Didn't help that I was thinning it at first, of course... Meanwhile, some progress on the Deepmare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Oh no definitely thin it! It can get really thick otherwise. For the wing you see there, toxic purple had probably 6-8 coats, super thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realms_walker85 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I have a terrible reputation for keeping up with my contracts but reports and marking always get in the way.
