There wasn't a huge amount to do after the last post.
Just a few of the FX elements, like lenses and glows.
These things I considered the most interesting things to do as they often add so much to the finished model.
However, despite my experience and tolerance of what is acceptable I still worry that the effect won't work.
And yet I've done green glows, red glass and lenses, blue void shield glows and some orange lenses.
That's 4 different colours, some with overlapping techniques and they all seemed to have worked out as expected. Nothing looks odd or out of place.
I had 2 of my Reavers for comparison and again, nothing out of place.
Despite the 15 month gap and the 'speed run' progress on the Warlord the consistency is right up there.
Of course you can always argue different Forgeworlds can justify subtle differences. But I don't think I need to do that at all. I think the only variety comes from the heraldry and pattern choices.
Although the yellow, grey and blue are consistent it's how they are distributed on the models that makes them more eclectic than I may have originally imagined.
Throw in my potential stretch goal and things can be consistent but also very different. But I never imagined I would be getting this Warlord TO DONE so quickly.
I doubted I'd get it done in DreadTober at all. But to have it done and starting the next is amazing and it's only down to this community event that gave me the motivation to get it on the painting table and out the door so soon!
A great engine! Congratulations on finishing - I really enjoy the variety on differently coloured panels on the different engines. The group looks cohesive but not boring. I'm sure the second Warlord will loook great as well.
