I also did the rusty sections on the base with Vallejo Game Effects Dry Rust, similar to Typhus Corrosion, just a little more red. This will form a great base to drybrush and weather.
The Sentinels also had Dry Rust applied.
I also added a chainsaw arm to the armoured Sentinel. This was an original Adeptus Titanicus chainsaw arm. Part of me felt this was heresy.
But I'm not likely to use them for their original function when I have lovely new Titans painted if I want to play Adeptus Titanicus
And, it's better the bit gets used rather than sit in a box gathering dust. You may also spot some decorative gemstones on the inside leg joints of the scout sentinel. They had been missing some bits and I just wanted to cover the holes up.
I'll cover the gems up with paint on primer and Dry Rust and it'll look almost original. That's it for week one, hopefully I'll continue progress and keep this momentum going with first stage highlights this weekend.
Great progress and an ambition plate of projects for the month! It'll will likely take 5 to 10 years for the paper work to make its way to the Inquisition's desks, so there's that at least...
ReplyDeleteThe variety between the Sentinels and the Norn is both a blessing and a curse. The differences make it much more challenging to keep momentum but it does mean when I get tired of painting one thing there is a whole different set of things to paint on the others. So in some respects you can keep painting so long as you're happy to do something wildly different.
DeleteWith the washes already down, the Norn is really on it's way. But I do know – the highlighting can take quite some time!
ReplyDeleteAll it needs is some concerted effort and I can get a highlight done in an evening. That said I'm just doing the bone at the moment, the turquoise might be so much more demanding!
