Hello peeps! First of all merry christmas and soon a happy new year! I finally have a few weeks off and decided to paint a bit more. I've got so many things to paint now, but I managed to finish a few things.
But before I show you my painted models, behold what I bought last monday!!!
I received a gift card from work worth 50 euros, so I thought I would make use of it right away! I already ordered 2 models from Games Workshop, but they didn't arrive yet. Since I wanted to start a Tau army and already owned a few things, might as well buy another model. Didn't think it would turn out to be the Riptide though, but it's freaking awesome! Can't wait to assemble it and paint it up and field it.
So now up to my painted models. Last time I told you I was painting a few models like the Dreadnought, Greyhunters and fenrisian wolves. I was kinda lazy lately when it came to painting, but I did finish the wolves.
At first I thought that I would only paint them with a brown fur, but at some point I decided it might look to bland on the table so I also made half of them with grey fur. I have to say that I enjoyed painting them a lot! You didn't necessarily have to be very neat to do the fur and you didn't had to keep to a certain pattern, there was a bit more freedom on putting on the colors. Blending the colors though and keeping them all the same color was probably the hardest part. I'm quite happy how they turned out!
The dreadnought is been taking a step further adding a bit more detail and glued it on the legs. I have been working on the metallic colors, trying to make it dark as the base and light it up according to lighting. It turned out pretty okay, but not what I imagined it would be. I'm not going to change it anymore, it does look real nice. I will attempt the color scheme on the Murderfang instead.
The Greyhunters came pretty much to a hold and I didn't do any work on them the last few weeks. Instead I did work on something else!
Last monday I played the Stormclaw Campaign with a colleague of mine, the Space Wolves VS the Orks! I had the models of the box for quite some time, but I never assembled them, Luckily I had most of the models with the right options, but I had to glue a few models which also included Krom Dragongaze. The missions went pretty well. I lost the first mission by a bunch. It was quite difficult to keep the unit of Greyhunters alive, even if you could easily make it to the table edge. I feel that the mission is a coinflip leaning more towards the Orks.
The last 2 missions were going pretty well. Overall I had pretty good throws and saves, probably above average actually. Krom Dragongaze did particularly well, destroying many Killa Kans on his own. Therefor I wanted to paint him up because he deserved it.
I loved all the detail and ornaments n stuff. It took me 3 days to finish him up and I must say I am very pleased with the end result. This is probably my best paint job so far. I put a lot of effort to make everything look right and really tried not to make any mistakes and I have to say that went really well. Can't wait to field him again, I'm really proud of it. :)
Anyways thanks for reading again and I wish you peeps a merry christmas and a happy new year! Cheers!
