2015 Bartertown Members Painting Challenge!!!

I've been home sick for a week with a cold or flu.. It took me a couple days just to finish building, or mostly finish, the new Harlie flyers.

Here's what I did finish. All he needed was an arm.

with and without flash outside.





1 point.

Are they based on the new 32mm bases? I was debating on putting all my marines on 32mm.

I heard all the new marines have them, is that true (like tac marines and stuff too)?

Ya they are on 32's. They came with 25's but I think the 32's look better. Plus with the wings, and pose of the model, they overhang the 25mm by a good amount.

They still come with 25, but as I'm re-doing my BA's, all the power armour are going to be on 32's. Scouts will still be on 25's

The gold was just Minitaire Gold over a preshaded base then washed with slightly thinned Agrax earthshade, It came out like I was hoping it would

[kturock]

My 1st Iyaden Flacon. I had it finished and then realised, it was built as a Falcon and not a Wave Serpant. [I bought a bunch of Eldar and most are magnetised.]
So I had to paint the gunner's turret and guns.









8 points like the Leman Russ?

plus 1 point for the Jack Troupe Master posted above.

9 points pending.

[hapotte]

Nicely done kturock, 9 points added!

1 quick pic of the finished Eldar Wraith Knight. It started to get dark and all the rest of the pics were washed out by the flash.
LMK if you need more pics.



Umm Imperial Knights are 10 points..same for Eldar?

[MagickalMemories]

Damn, it. Kicked it into high gear. Huh? LOL
I think these are less bulky than a knight, IIRC, but they have more fiddly details. So 10 seems reasonable to me,

Also, If Leeman's are worth 8 I need 3 points added as I was only credited 5 on page six of this thread.

So quick story before pictures.

A friend of mine left his Cryx here (he lives a good drive away) and so I asked him if I could paint his Warjack for him to test out my airbrush (when I was comfortable enough to actually start on model models). Since he hates painting he said "Sure! You can paint them all if you want!" LOL.

Anywho, he isn't the greatest for assembly, or cleaning, or painting, or gluing, or anything really to do with the hobby part of wargaming and so I apologize ahead of time for the mould lines (I wasn't going to clean for hours on an already assembled model) and poor assembly/gluing/cleaning job.

I fully magnetized the jack for each option from the kit (Slayer, Corrupter and Reaper). I went with a very wet looking, soggy board/swamplike base. I pictured the jack moving across the land at night with the moon shining down.

So yeah, my first ever airbrushed model! 5 points for me! Putting me into 4th! Woot! And be prepared, I have my own entire Cryx army to paint, that and the CSM (the Nurgle ones will be getting a similar look as this jack) and much more! Wha ha ha ha ha

Pic heavy, sorry.

[kturock]

You airbrushed everything?
How did you get the pink fleshy parts to look real?

[3eland]

Pink fleshy parts?

The trim (bronze) and silver I did by hand but the rest was airbrushed yes.

EDIT: AH, the fingers... LOL

[kturock]

GJ then.

[3eland]

Thanks.

I haven't gotten any airbrush ready metallics yet and trying to airbrush GW metallics (or similar brush on paint brands) is a nightmare.

[kturock]

I used some Martha Stewart paint I bought on closeout at Home Depot. It was $5 for a 10 ounce, 295 ml tub. Almost all of my crons were painted with it. It's a perfect bolt gun or lead belcher substitute. I thinned it with water and sprayed away.

[3eland]

Interesting. And we have Home Depots in Canada too! I shall look into that thanks!
