ScottGrots quest for OFCC - Evil Sunz


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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.
