[Warhammer 40K Combat Patrols]

Bile is actively working to grow the numer of his followers and was just able to convince a squad of spiky Raptors to join his force.

Thank you @Hunter Rose

 

I have to say it was a whole new experience and I just like the Helbrute. I was into Dreadnoughts when I was playing 40K about 20 years ago. But this is a real beast with so much fun detail. Have to paint the other arms and weapons in the near future too.

[Warhammer 40K Combat Patrols]

Hey there beautiful people, hope you are all fine. I was doing stuff in the background, now I can share some of my work.

 

Around mid december I was convinced to get into WH40k and started collecting figures for combat patrols.

 

Here is one part of it.

 

First a Necron Warrior group led into war by a Royal Warden.

 

Second is Fabulous Bile together with one of his recent creations.

Good Morning,

 

wheels are on and some part of the Airdefense armour. I decided to go with grey pant on the latter to add some contrast and interest. The Wheels and lower hulls are wethered with the AK dust and dirt deposits set. Looks like an enamel pigment soup that can be reactivated with mineral spirits and gives the look that is absolutely to my taste. Good buy it is.

 

The PE AAArmour is a bit complicated though. The stacked pieces on the back were manufactured missmeasured. The board that goes inside is way too narrow. The outer part has grooves cut into it and I guess the kit designers didnt take that into account, so you will have a 1mm gap if you place the board inside. You cant see that at a distance though. The rooftop armour gets stepped sockets but the two armour plates have identical hole sizes. So those dont work as intended and you have to find another solution to have the two plates evenly apart. For the rond air vent covers you have two plates but only one set of stands, yo youe will have the plate only on one side. IT does work for the look I am goig for, but still a bit odd it is.

I will only add the NV device for the driver here, as there wont be enough space for a commander figure in the cupola otherwise.

 

Thx for watching.

This one looks fantastic. The ATAK Zimmerit is amazing. Nowwith the weathering on the paint it is just right 

[Panther F Night Fighter]

Thak you @Stef N.

 

I wanna get this off the table now. Washedout Sand color applied and gave it an overall Filter/Wash with burned umber. Will do the AK dust and dirt deposits enamels for weathering. Did them on the lower hull already and liked them.

 

Horrible weather today, so no rich daylight shot.

 

[Panther F Night Fighter]

Here we go. Washes and more rusttones of pegments, oil paints and enamel products later, I am happy now. So let it cure and follow with Ammo of MIG Washable Sand for the camo pattern.

 

Placed a rusted shovel in for color reference

 

 

[Panther F Night Fighter]

That is fantastic news and will help me a lot . Thx

[Compiling a Legion]

Got distracted quite a bit, but the Tempestus Reaver and the second Interfector Warhound are almost done. The handsome young man on the right and his lot got me carried away.

 

[Panther F Night Fighter]

Hello Guys,

 

I got completely distracted, but will now try to finish this one.

 

So it got a basecoat of Vallejo HullRed:BurntUmber and then mottled in some Highlights with Vallejo Tan Earth. Followed by varnish, then Stippled and brushed some Abt. 502 Ochre on and gave it a coat of Revell Matt clear. That is a bit dusty, but adds to what I am looking for. Some stages before the camo still to come though.

 

[Compiling a Legion]

We are coming along with the Tempestus Reaver

 

 

[AT AT paper model]

Cool model... will follow along.

[Compiling a Legion]

Good afternoon all. We got something more done.

 

1st Working on the 4th Reaver as a legio Tempestus Titan.

Tried something else here, al painting done by paintbrush, no airbrush this time.

 

2nd, still working on the Legio Interfector Maniple and got 2 bases done. The 2nd Wolfhound is at the "trim-stage"

 

[Compiling a Legion]

The three Stooges wating for some base work

 

 

The mottled red on the Interfector Reaver trim makes him look interesting enough for my taste, so that there is no need to modulate the panels a lot.

 

He looks really creapy with his posture from the front. But if you ask me, I like the Legio Mortis one the most.

I know next to "sod all" about Warhammer,but these minatures are stunning,fantastic paint job.

 

Hey there Carts, thankyou very much. They are great to do, something between a real model kit and a Wargaming Mini.

 

Got some work on the Legio Interfector maniple done. I found the plain black and red trim ist a bit boring. So I decided to treat the frame much more in the theme "touched by Nurgle". Ans give the red a more rusty shade. Washes and color modulation on the trim still to come. Might also be tempted to leave some of the leg armour off.

 

[AT AT paper model]

Sounds really interesting.

[Compiling a Legion]

Table Top Ready, I would say.

 

 

 

 

Also got some 6mm scale vehicles and space marines to eventually incorporate into bases or scenery.

 

 

 

[Compiling a Legion]

We´ve got something going on. That Gryphonicus Reaver, hope to have him battle ready by tomorrrow evening.

 

[Compiling a Legion]

A full evening of washes and drybrushing later.

 

[Compiling a Legion]

 

Built 4 more reaver chassis. All base painted now and started on the chassis of the Legio Interfector Reaver (Insanae Mentis), who will be commanded by the Princeps of the Manipel of a Reaver and two Warhounds. Spent a fes more miniutes than just black base coat with dry brushing of silver by adding various different washes and some accents before the dry brush. Some differently colored washed are now on again after the dry brush to accentuate the parts a bit more.

What would you say about this paper design compared to the available plastic kits?

 

Your model looks fantastic.

[Compiling a Legion]

TableTop Ready

[Compiling a Legion]

Hey @Stephen W, thank you.

 

i was of course doing the wrong order , but wanted to get an idea how to do the red. Now I got stencils for some flames. Stippled on some Revell Mausgrau, then with Vallejo chain mail silver. I will finish with stippling some Nuln Oil.

 

 

 

 

[Compiling a Legion]

 

Hey there, found another creepy Legio. Red and black sinister, what else can you wish for?! Found several schemes online, not so happy with the plain red trim. So started with a satin black without any discoloration, in my opinion this needs to be plain, there will be some grayish flamea anyway. But I tried some stuff on the trim. Used some reds, oranges and rust tones on a metallic base. For me its mostly about the trim currently. Here is my approach.

Violett on Gold. Strange, but it looks great.
