Tabletop Warhammer?

Very neat edging.

Photos hard to tell due to different devices settings etc but last one the base looks way brighter compared to the model.

Look at this mess lol. Panicking because of new knights coming.

Think I'm gonna go for a pretty much pure black Cerastus, I don't really like the schemes I've seen and then it's kinda like 'the black knight'/

I got fed up of my stuff being in bit so I just said stuff it last night and glued the heads and weapons on. They aren't too far away from finished. The annoying thing is I didn't prime the weapons properly so it's a real struggle getting the paint to stay on the head part.



And a juicy delivery too. I'm going to need to magnetize this one so I can have all the variants.
 
Thanks for the link, not sure what to do colour wise. I want to treat my orange Tyrant and wardogs as their own thing.
And next big knight and wardogs a different scheme but one that works well on the table with orange.
Which blue does according to the colour wheel, but I probably won't make them an official house, or maybe I should so I can stop stressing about colours etc lol.

No problem at all my friend, I was really surprised how easy the Knight is to paint, nice to see some decals supplied too ;)

Yeah as long as you leave the panels off to paint then they are simple in that regard. I have resigned to the fact I'll need to add some weathering etc on the large orange knight I have or it's going to look too plain/clean. Always worry about ruining my nice base coat though, so obvious answer is gloss and oils so I can undo it if I don't like it.

Vallejo chipping medium works really well for weathering, basically airbrush on your basecoat lets say black or rusty brown, airbrush on the chipping medium all over the bascoat colour, then airbrush your topcoat on top lets say orange.
Let that all dry, then take a wet stiff brush and work it into the areas where you need some chipping or weathering, the topcoat colour will gradually lift off the medium layer leaving the colour the rusty colour underneath.

I am sure there are some videos on YouTube showing the stuff in action :)
 
Had a great game last week against a friends eldar. Little 500pt game as the start of a campaign but it was bloody! He had a nasty little deathstar of an autarch and dire avengers. Ignore all negative modifiers, sustained and lethal.
No AT in my list so dealing with even a wave serpent was a pain!
Managed in t4 to finish off his last vyper but was also sat on 2/3 of the objectives from t2.
 
I think this should be fine but just checking. As I use XF-2 a lot I thought I'd make a pre mix 1:3 to thinner. Soo, a whole pot of Tamiya is 10ml, I'll add 30ml of the XF thinner and put it in a new dropper bottle I'll source from somewhere.
Aside from giving it a good shake before I use it, is there anything detrimental to doing it this way? Just saves me having to get the thinner and paint out all the time as I use it for pre shading with the airbrush.
I find 3 is the minimum I'd ever thin it so makes sense to do that rather than 1:4.

@roman59 Excellent work as always, does that mean the old Spearhead I purchased for Soulblight is obsolete now, or they just updated the models? Doesn't matter as I never finished making them or play AOS anyway lol.
