An "Evil?" project log. 6/21 Don't call it a comeback!

I've been meaning to do that for a while. I keep saying that I will take one once I paint that one more new unit.....

I did get the "last" 3 Reavers finished. Yesterday's great game inspired me to finish them up...and convinced me that I don't want to take one unit of 9- I want to take two units of 6 Mad

Looks like the box of Reavers that I was going to sell might end up staying.

Now it's time for Coven September! I still have the beastmaster unit to purchase and paint, but I want to finish painting a Talos and Wrack Raider that have been sitting 60% finished for a while first. After that, a fun little something for the 4th round of The Archon's Challenge Twisted Evil

Those reavers look fantastic! Did you use an air brush or is that all done by hand? (Glad to hear you are deciding to keep them) Smile

All by hand. I only airbrush base coats on vehicles and the occasional first highlight.(I'm just not very good with my airbrush Razz

) I'll do the other three bikes after I finish my coven stuff this month and get in some bits that I ordered in.

On a different note, I have to drag the models that I painted out for the August monthly photo and will FINALLY take a group/army shot. Just have to wait for the wife to go to work.....she would blow a gasket if I started hauling out all of them while she's getting ready for work Evil or Very Mad

Those bikes look great! How are you doing the helmets? I am very curious about that turqouise highlight.

Lighting is terrible, but it was the only spot that I could set it all up.

I wish the lighting was better, but you get the idea. Now to put all of this stuff back into their cases silent

(edit) Seems that I'm missing my Madrakes. Probably in the display case of the LFGS, but I wouldn't say that I've been "missing" them at all Razz

Army looks absolutely splendid, well done sir! Smile

That's a really cool looking army of purple pain! Very good work, they must look killer on the table.

Amazing. How are you ever going to transport them to a game? So many!

Simply amazing!
Would love to play against such a beautiful army.

Love the purple/pink.

Talos!

The trio:

An "Evil?" project log. 6/21 Don't call it a comeback! - Page 18 2012-09-06_09-33-04_592

I've jokingly named them Killer, Lemmy, and Murder 1. (free internet cookies for the first person to catch the reference...yes, I'm a bassist) Half-tempted to play with all three of them this weekend for the hell of it...

On to the finish the coven Raider Twisted Evil

Gulp, that is sooooo good ESE! Using all three would be pretty funny, keep your opponent distracted for a while. If you do, we want a full report Very Happy

Well, like I (accidentally!) said in the Monthly Vow thread, that Talos looks great! I really like the muted colourscheme, even though my usual preference is for brighter colours. Really well executed!

Mr. Ian Fraser Kilmister, bassist and lead vocalist to Motörhead cheers

As always, awesome work on your Engines, I really do love them. The blue hue on the flesh is wonderful.

May I suggest alternate names? Very Happy

Steve, Percy and Harris Twisted Evil

Name that bassist!

NO!
I think he plays with some guy named Eddy lurking in the background all the time? Razz

On a project-related note: I've spent the last 60 minutes trying to get two AWEFUL Failcast Grotesques to work at all. AWEFUL castings. Calling GW...when they get back to work on the East coast Mad

Those Taloi are beautiful! (Also, good use of the word Taloi Very Happy

) The silver of the metal and the luminous green work especially well.

Almooooost........

I figured out why I never finished this thing: I HATE PAINTING RAIDERS Evil or Very Mad

It's simply too much detail. Convert them and add more detail and you have quite a mess. At least I'll have a finished second coven Raider to play with. I just have to paint on the hull runes, attach all of the tentacles/spiky bits, and highlight the metal. Tonight?

I'm really looking forward to the 4 man Wrack unit and their Venom. Venoms are so much easier to paint! the conversion that I have planned for the splinter cannons will actually mean painting one less gunner model. Twisted Evil

Raider done! cheers

Now for the coven Venom conversion and a squad of 4 Wracks before tackling the 2 Grotesques and last Haemi.

Absolutely brilliant Smile

Excellent stuff! You run for cover just seeing them :-)

Those Raiders are looking magnificent together.

Thanks! Now they will have a little brother. This will be my entry for the 4th round of The Archon's Chellenge:

I'll get to work on the Haemi once these are done. Still waiting for the two replacement Grotesques from GW... Evil or Very Mad

That Venom looks like a gleeful, splinter-spitting poisoned, superfast flea! Love it!

Wracks done!

Hope to get the basecoat sprayed on the Venom. Only 4 days to paint it!!!

Those wracks look pretty great. I really enjoyed painting mine, but they were very time-consuming.
