Psilence Posted June 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Just a little update. The ‘boats’ are coming along. I was able to do all of the undercoats on the gold bits and re-color the cockpit canopies to the new dark green. I followed that with the washes and wing markings to distinguish between each craft. Letting the washes dry, then onto highlights. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted June 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 Happy Friday! With the boats complete I’ve moved onto the other fast(er) movers in the army. First coats on the diamonds, followed shortly by the other pre wash base colors. The bikes should be another good addition. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted July 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 Been awhile 🙂 Along with lots of other folks I’ve been motivated by the upcoming release of 9th Ed. In that necro’d vein (Ynnead is stirring after all) I thought I’d update on the Harlies. The majority of the army is complete, with just a few players left to work on. Once those last few are complete I’ll likely start leaning in with a second unit of bikes. More pics to follow. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted July 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 Seers: The first model for the army was the gray fellow with blue accents. From him (and some interwebs skimming) the rest of the scheme for the army took shape. The green seer is my fave out of the three. The black and white (and gold) was and attempt at something outside the ‘normal’. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psilence Posted July 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 Jesters: These guys ended up bland compared to the rest of the force, as they stuck to their fluffs black and white scheme. About the only thing of interest is the one bone colored cannon. As previously mentioned I’ll use him to denote the relic (which is a BAMF 😎). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted July 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 Solitare: This guy looks like he got some nice buffs with the new WD content, I’ll be looking forward to blasting him across the tables once the world gets back to “normal”. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted July 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 Players: Still very happy with these guys and gals. Their movement and color make them fun to work with. Ill need to find a good source for fusion pistols so I can wysiwyg ‘em. I at least want to put that effort in so when the are melting primaris’s faces off everyone can feel good about it... You smell something burning? 😉 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted July 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 Boats: Vehicles in general are my bane to paint, not sure why. The big planes/plates drive me crazy. These sorta fell into the same category. I plowed through them to get them done and fieldable, but think they’re missing something. My wife pointed out that they don’t fit the purple found on most everything else, and lack the white highlights. I’ll likely revisit these when the mood strikes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted July 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 Bikes: As larger models these guys suffered similarly to the clown cars. Same as above in regards to a revisit to try to tie them in with the rest of the army. Perhaps if I pick up another batch I’ll find my muse. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ish Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 Pick out one or two of the diamonds on the speeders and paint over them in purple and add some troupe runes in white... That should help tie them to the other models without totally making them uniform. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The diamonds just look too plain and flat as they are. I think kicking them up a notch will really help the overall effect on the Bikes/Vehicles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted July 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 Oh, I like the idea of the white markings. Give ‘em some pop. And the purple here and there sounds like a good idea as well. Something else I’ve been noodling is their bases. Most folks I see try to add in puzzle pieces or diamonds and the like. I was going to go in the opposite direction with some patches of static grass and other natural tones. I’m hoping the contrast between the ‘loud’ colors on the models and the muted natural tones on the bases will make for a good combo. We’ll see. Started preliminary work on the last group. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
