#ArmiesOnParade2020

Afternoon #warmongers and #warhammercommunity I've been getting my #ArmiesOnParade board together. Once again I had an idea of which faction I was going to parade - my Imperial Knights and a concept for the board using my gaming terrain. I ended up taking 50+ pictures so I could whittle it down to the 6-8 needed to showcase.

I even got down with the kids and did a video on that there YouTube.

Anyway, here's a bucketload of pics. I tried two different layouts [Lancer in front and Gallant in front] and different camera settings. I ended up downsampling some of the images [I took some 48MP shots] so there's a mix and match of images here. They might be a little jumbled up but I'll do my best to put the together.

Sneaky assassin sneaking around in the ruins too 😉

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sector Mechanicus Galvanic Servohaulers - Yellow!

Afternoon #warmongers and #warhammercommunity I've been #paintingwarhammer on the Galvanic Servohaulers. I sponged on the yellow. This was Instar paints replacement for Iyanden Yellow. It's a bit more ochre in colour than the original but it seems yellower on the model, next to all the rust.

I added some Vallejo Rust in all the crevices and more Typhus Corrosion on all the exposed metalwork ready for some Ryza Rust 

And on goes the rust. Maybe it's all a little too blended together now but I can added some more washes for definition.

Not 100% sure what yo do with the tracks. Some silver on the edges might break things up, maybe I'll do something with the Mechanicus skull. The Vallejo Sun Yellow also helped increase the contrast too.

I added a bit more washes in all the recesses to increase definition and try to break things up a bit.

Even so there were still some powdery residue. Of course this has ruined models before, but when it's grungy and distressed that can either be a bonus or easily masked with more washes.

I know the Army Painter Strong Tone wash will easily mask the powder caused by the Vallejo 'dipping' washes.

So I'm not worried in the slightest.

And the crane pics have skipped straight to the Sun Yellow part. I'm feeling much more confident of achieving my goal now.

Can't wait to get into the details now that the bulk of the colouring is done.

Still not settled on the 'power coils' but I think they'll be red glass, or blue glow...

Also the carriage needs decisions about details but hopefully they'll reveal themselves as it progresses.

Sector Mechanicus Galvanic Servohaulers - Under rust

Afternoon #warmongers and #warhammercommunity I've been #paintingwarhammer on my Galvanic Servo-Haulers. I'm hoping these will fit in with my #ArmiesOnParade board. I don't even know if they'll fit on it but it's a good enough target to aim for.

At this stage I'm just adding Typhus Corrosion on top of some of my red Oxid [sic] vallejo basing paint.

I sponged on some browns as well and some additional washes [hence the powdery residue in the recesses].

At this stage I did flirt with the idea of giving salt weathering a go again but I just can't get away from the fiasco of my Bastions that had salt stains and didn't want to risk it going wrong again.

Last thing I need is something else to get in the way of meeting my deadline.

Lots of grunge, I'll be sponging on yellow as I did with my imperial knight base.

So hopefully instead of a yellow crane with rust, it'll be a rusty crane with some yellow paint.

I wasn't wholly confident I could do this in time and I think I kept throwing down more shade washes and sponging on various browns to make a great base.

The next yellow stage would be a big step so I was a bit apprehensive about doing it.

And I had to remember the carriage as well, it was very easy to forget there were 3 parts to this challenge.

Lets see how we progress in the next step.
