More hobby progress.

Hi guys, Well it's not be the weather for it lately in sunny Leeds but I have been slowly working on my breachers, not a lot but getting there.....no really i am.

What i have done is to add a few more parts to the Moritat aka "Gunslinger", Just a few bits but i think it all adds to the look and feel of the miniature, So then just the Iron Skull to the left shoulder pad and some small packs and grenades around the Moritats waist, also got the base coat down, Time for the fun stuff to start now.

I have shock horror finished all their bases though, That's for the twenty Breachers and one Moritat base (front right), As always with these wasteland bases I'm very happy with the look, So easy to do....bit of dry brushing and weathering powders job done, I've been asked on Face Book how i paint them so will do a tutorial soon in case anyone else is interested....keeps the blog ticking anyhow which is always good.

So then that's it for now, Looking forward to the Forge World event next month and are really hoping that we see Adeptus Titanicus, not holding my breath though but are saving my penny's.

Happy painting guys.

WIP: Iron Warriors Breachers update Part 2.

Hi guys well I've finally started getting some paint on my much loved breachers.

The effort put in to get twenty marines to this stage is thankless as what your left with at base coat stage is just that base coated miniatures....so much time and graft put in but hey the hard work is over and soon time for the fun stuff.

Anyhow borderline whinge over I'll get on, I may have in a bid to speed things up shot myself in the foot, I usually leave off the helmets, pads and guns to paint separate to the main torso but with the breachers having shields as well I thought in my wisdom why not glue the pads and helmets leaving just the shields and guns...don't want too many separate components after all plus it will be quicker right, Well guys I'm now thinking I should of left the pads off because its going to be difficult getting the gold paint in there, Well I'll see and you live and learn.

Also started on their bases, I've built and primed 21, Yeah I only need twenty for the two squads but it's a bakers dozen kind of  thing which I thought would be prudent after the debacle with the Volkite squad bases, Don't ask.

Bit of a pain as I wanted to crack on on with the bases today then realised I was out of the darkest grey I needed so I started the first stages of tarnishing the metal on my breachers, This is a slow process but one that I've found quite effective for the look I'm after. 

Check the front three marines for the colour change, So then three down only seventeen more to go before I start on the second stage of washes.

That's it for now, Happy painting.

WIP: IW's Breachers Part 1..

Hi guys, Well its been a while but I feel I'm finally back in the grove.

I was up late last night building these little fellas (past 12 on a school nite tut tut), Really enjoyed these minis hardly had any mould lines on them, I'm leaving off the shields and guns to paint separate as i think it will be easier that way.

I've built two squads of ten, First squad with a power fist and two Melta-guns the second with two flamers and a Combi-flamer.

So that's it for now, I still have some Tac's to finish for a complete squad of 15 and i also have a Volkite support squad in the pipe, Happy painting.
