Terrain is everything - Munitorum containers - White pics

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've been #PaintingWarhammer on my Munitorum Containers and they are TO DONE! Here's the last two, on a white backgroudn with some close-ups to get a feel for everything.

One of the delays was that I had wanted some of these triangular decals from the old Space Marine Vehicle decal sheet.

 I'd arbitrarily decided that the yellow arrow down and red arrow up needed to be on everything but there are less yellow arrows. Liam had some but because he's had a bad back for so long I hadn't been able to meet up and collect them so I just decided to freehand the yellow ones [don't tell him 😉]. 

Now they may not be perfect but the red ones developed the dreaded decal halo, despite my usual prep-work that avoids this! But I'm pleased with the results. It might just be a simple triangle but it's quite hard to do when you have a perfect one next to it. And yes, it does look like the varnish has gone a bit frosty, but I think that just emphasised because of overexposure and zoomed in. 

It's much better elsewhere and in real life.

I painted the yellow arrows here too.

Big numbers always look cool - FACT! These colours match my Genestealer Cult.

Hence the warning propaganda - used by those it targets to hide their very nature! Sneaky... 

And the turquoise one with it's functioning doors. I probably wouldn't do that again but at least one warranted the experiment.

A lot of sepia wash to get the weathered look.

And all 4 in situ.

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?
