scottshoemaker Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 In an effort to promote community encouragement and timeline shaming I shall commence with my list prep and painting log. 1 CAD, no formations. I want a super simple list with as few special rules as possible. Plus this is a hobby focused list packed with lots of speedy toys Rough list: Warboss Big Mek with KFF 2 meks Tankbustas in a truck 3 units of Trukk boyz Warbikers Rocket Buggies 1 Battlewagon with Shoota boys 1 Battlewagon with Slugga boys 1 Tanked up Battlewagon with a big gun I only need to build the tank, and I need to paint everything but the Boss an the trukk boys. Need to think about a display board too. Can it be meaner? Yes. But this is OFCC. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Looks great. I look forward to seeing this at OFCC. How many warbikers/rocket buggies are in the list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottshoemaker Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Looks great. I look forward to seeing this at OFCC. How many warbikers/rocket buggies are in the list? 5 bikes and 3 buggies. That's what I have built anyhow. I figure this is a nice sampling of a themed list with no duplications except for the trukk boys. Then I can easily add on to the list one unit at a time and have the basics covered. I really wanted to take a LoW Braincrusha Battlefortress, but I really wont have the time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottshoemaker Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Are there rules for that for 40k!? IA 7 (?) Raid On Kastorel Novem has rules for Kustom Battle Fortresses. Just a big transport, lots of secondary weapons, Deffrolla, and a Mega Cannon. Alone I figure it's a 5 month project, but with the rest of the painting I need to do it has to take a back seat...for now... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottshoemaker Posted March 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Warboss is painted! I really like applying pigment with the the airbrush for weathering: 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 The goggles and tire shoulder armor, combined with the dusty weathering give him a real Mad Max look. Love it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisruptiveConduct Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 howdya get the dried and cracked mud on the base to come out so well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottshoemaker Posted March 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 howdya get the dried and cracked mud on the base to come out so well? That's the GW technical paint over sand texture. I slop it on really heavy then drybrush it with a color. The normally distainful spiderwebbing you get from drybrushing works well here. Then the airbrushed pigment is the final touch. I won't do that much work on a boyz mob, but on the characters I will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottshoemaker Posted March 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Given time constraints on what I can get built and painted I've revised my list for fewer models: Warboss Big Mek in Mega-Armor with KFF Tankbustas in a truck Mega Nobz 3 units of Trukk boyz 5 Warbikers 3 Rocket Buggies 1 Battlewagon with Shoota boys 1 Battlewagon (for the Nobz) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottshoemaker Posted March 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Tried something a little different this time. I did a magic wash (50/50 Future floor polish and Vallejo Oiled grime) all over the buggies, but it didn't pool the way I wanted. So I washed right over with a little black mixed and while it worked, it tinted the whole model and killed off some of the overall contrast. So I went back to a known technique, I airbrushed straight thinner on the model and used the airbrush to powerwash out from the centers of panel, pushing the relatively thick magic wash to the edges, thus preserving the contrast I put down with my base tone layer. I figure a 2-1 wash/future mix is about right for the initial wash, then airbrush soon after, so the floor wax has a little time to gel. I'll see if I can refine it and make it more repeatable. Now I wouldn't do this on anything "clean"; Marines, Tau, Eldar, etc wouldn't look right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PourSpelur Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 The more I use Future the more I love it. It certainly has a learning curve but it's great stuff. As usual, these are amazing. Always looking forward to seeing what you put out next! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
