Descent 2: Heroes, lesser monsters and then some

Finally finished the last of the smaller mobs of Descent 2 minis since the last posting

 

 

With the reference card as design reference, these were not that difficult to work on. Ashiran (Staff wielder) was the toughest of the bunch since there was not much details on her attire base on her reference card. I basically decide to wing it with various shades of green that I have on her attire instead. Due to the size of the minis, the eyes were also a pain to work on. I actually got a table magnifying glass to use, without much success

Flesh Moulders

Couldn't decide the colour scheme to use for the flesh moulders. Winged it using the different washes on the cloth to create the difference in the attire between the master unit and the rest.

Zombies

Zombie lead was washed in Carroburg Crimson to create a reddish master on the model as seen with the flesh moulders

Goblin Archers

Again, reddish master done as per before.

Since Descent 2 comes with lots of stuff and packing was a pain using bags and all, I came across using foamcore to make the inserts for the game itself which helps with the packing up by a lot!

Credits to the Esoteric Order of Gamers for the guide on building the inserts. I had mine slightly modified to fit the use of sleeved cards. Not a great modification, but it works for now as seen above.

You can get the blueprint from the Esoteric Order of Gamers website. Just a quick note, the foamcore used here are 5mm core. Made the base insert initially with 10mm and decided to redo the entire thing with 5mm.

Also completed since the last post were the following units for my chapter.

Zameon Gydreal

Deathwatch Dark Angel Zameon Gydreal was expected to be a company champion upon his return to the Dark Angel Chapter upon finishing his term with the Deathwatch. I decided to use his model in my chapter as a company champion itself. I have yet to decided which company he will be joining. Probably the 3rd company.

Ravenwing Squad 2 bikers

2 set of bikes to at lest complete the basic squad. 3 more bikes, 1 attack bike and a land raider to go for a full squad.

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)
