Warhammer 40k: Stormcloud Atack - The Ancient vs The Greater Good

Finally completed the base of the Razorshark model.

 

The base was done to match the previous two Farsight Eight models.


Finally, the two models together, ready for a game or Stormcloud Attack. Three flyers now available, including the Dark Talon I did a few years back.

Warhammer 40K: Farsight Enclave Razorshark (WIP) Part 2

Finally did the undercarriage and varnished the model.
Photo take a little darker than previously due to using only 1 source of light instead of 2. Might stick back to two next time.

Or get the damn light box!

Next, the base. I will be using the same red earth basing as I did with my previous models.

Warhammer 40K: Farsight Enclave Razorshark (WIP)

Razorshark base layer was done simultaneously while working on the Death Scythe.

After drybrushing reds.
 

Another session later
 

Glad that the turrets were removable.

*Paint note. Missiles are to be assembled last after the entire paint job is completed. Interior missile bay could be painted right prior to assembly.

Drone unit. While permanently attached, it could also be assembled later once entire model has been painted.

*Update: Added decals on the models
 
 
Undercarriage remaining

Warhammer 40K: Necron Doom Scythe (Complete)

Finally completed the Doom Scythe. The photos below were taken using my wife's mobile phone camera.

   

Definitely need to get myself a lightbox for better shots.

Coming up next, Farsight Razorshark. And probably the Night Scythe weapon options too.

*Paint Note. Top most carapace could be assembled after main body is painted to have a better effect on the main body parts that are exposed beneath the carapace. Careful with posing the Necron unit as there is limited pose available with the top carapace and the main body.

Warhammer 40K: Necron Doom Scythe

Just a quick post of my Death Scythe which I just "more or less" complete earlier today. Picture quality is a little poor since this was using my mobile phone to take.


Definitely need to use a better camera.

*Update

Just added decals on the model.

Base build using leftover sprue pieces for the crystals, piece of stone and speckle for the terrain. May just add sand for some spots later.

Warhammer 40K: Christmas Projects

Happy New Year to all!

After the last post, I have:
1. Finished 1st Ravenwing Bike Squad consisting of 6 bikes (3 from Dark Vengeance) and 1 attack bike for my Ravenwing. 1 extra sergeant was made and assigned to 2nd Squad.
2. Completed 5th Company 2nd Dreadnought Azmodor.
3. Finished my prototype Mortis twin-linked autocannon kitbash.
4. Got myself a Stormcloud Attack (The Ancient vs The Greater Good).
5. Assembled both Necron Doom/Night Scythe and Tau Razorshark.
6. Partially painted both Doom/Night Scythe and Razorshark.


The Razorshark will definitely be painted Farsight's colours while Doom/Night Scythe will be a prototype color for Thokt Dynasty after Anrakyr the Traveller's colours.

Primed and basecoated the Razorshark with Khorne Red top and black bottom. I am leaving this model for a later time. Razorshark since the Air Support Cadre for Farsight only has Razorsharks. Nothing on the Sun Shark bombers.

Primed and basecoated the Doom/Night Scythe (either or at the moment since the only difference is the death ray/portal which is currently not glued. I am probably going to assemble as Doom Scythe but will leave it as it is to swap around if needed). While most of Thokt Dynasty models are using Blue/Silver motive, I am going with Green/Blue. Main body are already painted with Caliban Green while the larger grooves are Ultramarine Blue. Icons are done with Temple Guard Blue with the metal components done in Runefang Steel.

Pardon the poor quality photo as this was taken from my iPad.

Overall, I am a little disappointed with the speed of the job done since I was hoping for at least a squad of either termies or tactical units done too during the break, to which unfortunately, I also had other things to look into (work to sadly. And some extra housekeeping to boot).

At least the bikes are now done which puts me back on track (a little) to my chapter.

The Mortis twin-linked autocannon arms was also a nice touch being finished for the year. It is a very simple job done to which I hope to get a camera as soon as possible for me to capture and upload. Hopefully, the next model will be made using easier method which I should be able to manufacture more easily (i.e. resin molding and casting)
