Terrain is everything - Munitorum containers - TO DONE!

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer on my Munitorum Containers and they are TO DONE! Not just the white and orange container, but the turquoise and red.


I added some propaganda poster too just for a little more detailing.


Some arbitrary numbers as well, they always add some level of authenticity.


All four of my containers together, when I'll ever use them in a game is debatable but they worked out for my #ArmiesOnParade and I'm sure they will be useful in the role in the future.


Sure, the weathering is a bit OTT but they're consistent in execution if completely different in colours. Arguably the level of weathering does not need to be consistent at all as the very nature of these container would be that there is no guarantee they have been subjected to the same conditions.


Should I ever do anymore, I will probably consider a different level of weathering and change the pattern. Perhaps a horizontal stripe or some chevrons? But plenty of other things to do before I get more of these, especially when I already have plenty of my own containers already.


And with that a GREAT Big RUSTY Stamp of Approval. Although it might deserve two, one for each 😉!

Dark Angels - Ravenwing Black Knights and bikes - White pics

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer on my remaining #Ravenwing Black Knights and bikes. Obligatory white backdrop pics.


Black Knights


I think if I was ever going to play my Dark Angels I probably would want to run a Ravenwing forces


I do like the bikes but even with all this effort I probably still don't have enough


Molten lava sword


I mean it's alright and it shares the colour of the Plasma Talons rather than adding fancy blue power weapon colours into the mix.


Moar close-ups of his blade.



2nd Black Knight



Radar screen.


3rd Black Knight


The shoulder pad was from the Dark Angel Veteran sprue, which certainly made it easier to add the company number underneath it.


I'm not sure if my highlights have improved. I just think I've become more tolerant of the brush strokes I make. 


Happy just to put enough on there to define what I want and then move on.


And the last 2 bikers




Together with their other brother. 



Sergeant





I wanted some Chainsword wielding bikers for this squad as I think they're a fair bit better than they used to be, but what do I know?

Dark Angels - Ravenwing Black Knights and bikes - TO DONE!

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer on my remaining #Ravenwing Black Knights and bikes. These took a really long time to get over the line and a bit longer still to get the pics taken so I may have finished them in January.


Despite convincing myself that black isn't that difficult to paint I can't getaway from the fact I just don't want to paint it. Difficult - no, boring/tedious - yes


And there were additional decisions, like the winged sword colours on the robed Black Knights. I went with red, as I;d done that on others and they'd match. But, I never liked it - so the best of a bad job.


The molten lava sword wasn't quite as good as the Talonmaster, but with time I've come to be satisfied with them rather than the slight disappointment I originally felt.


I've still got a few robed riders and bits from my Ravenwing Command sprue to make a few more Black Knights, just short on bikes. And here was me thinking my Ravenwing was done!


But with a load of upgrade bits, Corvus Hammers and Plasma Pistols for conversions some cheap bikes will get me another three Knights if I so choose.



The two bikers to join the odd one I did with my #DreadTober pledge.



Here are the 3 together.



And with my Primaris Chaplain on bike for a cool 'Kill Team' shot.


Some closer pics to get a better look at them.




At least I managed to get the re head lamp glow to be a little more to my liking.



And with that a GREAT Big RUSTY Stamp of Approval. White background pics to follow.
