Initials are fine imo - like you say - brand.<br /><br />Actually - just had a thought though ... to the batcave .. emails.Bullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18376322430128578637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-25509386012836733092011-05-30T08:58:35.074+01:002011-05-30T08:58:35.074+01:00re Layout - the other one just keeps frakkin'u...re Layout - the other one just keeps frakkin'up...

I think the pot is about 20 years old, its a circular pot w/ no label (yup back when GW didnt label paints kids). Infact KS I think its older than you. <br /><br />Just making some of my GK's atm also worked out how I might be able to "speed" paint them but actually have them good tabletop/above table top (for the justicar).<br /><br />Is the dude with the power weapon and the arm up your Rune Priest? Looks pretty bad ass. <br /><br />Also the Dark Angels kit is probably one of the best kits outside the GK one, I think if I ever buy a new SM army I'll use that (and the BT one) extensively.Bullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18376322430128578637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-64048614482892287252011-05-27T18:24:39.983+01:002011-05-27T18:24:39.983+01:00Hey mate, glad you like the models.

I have done further highlights and layering so they are coming out really nicely :)<br /><br />The white is very simple. I use a layering method which is slightly time consuming at fire bust after a few goes its quick.<br /><br />First I base with Astronomican grey, then I layer ontop with 40/60 Astro grey & white, leaving the resseses grey. Then I do the same with a 20/80 Astro & white then a final layer of white. Comes out cleaner the more I do it :) If any areas are a little scruffy, a 50/50 mix of water and astro grey covers it nicely then go over it again.<br /><br />Oh don't worry about my GK list, you'll see it at plenty of tournaments to come haha ;) Wont be selling it out yet. Its not even that special. Utilising what you see on the internet atm with a few relatively important changes. Works really well so far.Killswitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03870259848881215847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742113396089797587.post-20129106460445132812011-05-27T17:45:36.359+01:002011-05-27T17:45:36.359+01:00First off really like the models - might sound odd...First off really like the models - might sound odd but how have you done that white? White base, wash with badab black (or maybe blue/black wash? I am tired and my eyes dont seem to function right) then up to white again? Whatever it is looks really good.<br /><br />That is a great tabletop standard.<br /><br />As for the "keeping colours the same" - I am doing the exact same thing - my GK's are the same colour as my Deathwing, my tanks are a marbled version of that same colour set up - and my blood angels are the ghost dry brushing that I'll do for Mordraks Ghost Knights (my old GK Rogue trader models, except the GK's will actually be done properly, not 30 mins per squad dry brush lol). Easier? Check! Cheaper? Check! <br /><br />My only concern with this - and part of the reason I am going to vary some units / special chars etc.. is that its hard to improve your painting while doing it as your using the same colour combo's over and over again. But I really dont like the idea of having a Lamenters army, then wanting to use one of the units in another force and having to go and buy / build / paint! <br /><br />The SW list - looks nice and balanced - that CML/GH unit is a nice touch - it has no confusion over its job and your not "wasting" any resources on it - sits at the back of the table on an objective and plinks out 2xS8 shots, better than a combat squaded tactical - oh and it can move! So its not screwed by say DoW or LOS (if find with my CML's that 6" is more than enough to create good fire lanes). <br /><br />Email me your GK list - interested to see it now - I am looking at Coteaz now as the HQ - he's cheap and really useful imo, sucks I cant get skulls in this force, but I like the dynamic of the rest of the list.Bullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18376322430128578637noreply@blogger.com
