Washing and detailing

Having washed my other Wartrakk, I did the same for another Wartrakk I am painting.

Having finished the base coat of Vomit Brown, I gave the Wartrakk a wash consisting of Chestnut Ink, Scorched Brown paint (which helps remove the gloss of the ink) and some water to thin the wash down. I also painted the Ork glyph on the front, which is from the Orc Warriors shield sprues.

This Wartrakk has been converted with new tracks as well as some other added features.

Washing my Wartrakk

Having washed my Looted Rhino I am using the same process on my Ork Wartrakk.

Having finished the base coat of Desert Yellow, I gave the Wartrakk a wash consisting of Chestnut Ink, Scorched Brown paint (which helps remove the gloss of the ink) and some water to thin the wash down.

This is a quick and simple way of accentuating the detail and adding shadows.

Black Templar Cenobyte with Relic

I have always liked this model, but wasn’t sure a) where it came from, b) what it was called, so I could never find it in the stores or on the online store.

It was only recently when reading through an old White Dwarf that I saw it was part of the Black Templars Chaplain Grimaldus and Retinue Boxed Set.

So now I knew which boxed set it came from, I could work out what it was called and find it in the online store. It is available either as part of a boxed set or individually. As I wasn’t too bothered about the other miniatures in the boxed set I purchased it individually through Mail Order.

I will be using it as part of my Inquisitorial retinue.

Washing a Looted Ork Rhino

I have spent a lot of time and effort working on my Ork Looted Rhino.

Having finished the base coat I gave the Looted Rhino a wash consisting of Chestnut Ink, Scorched Brown paint (which helps remove the gloss of the ink) and some water to thin the wash down.

It seems to have worked quite well.

Next stage will be a drybrush. See the full workbench feature on the Looted Rhino.

See our gallery of Looted Rhinos.

Ork Fighter Bommer

Having finished the base coat on my Ork Fighter Bommer I gave the plane a wash consisting of Chestnut Ink, Scorched Brown paint (which helps remove the gloss of the ink) and some water to thin the wash down.

I am quite pleased with the end result. I was trying to get a rusty looking battered plane and I think that this paint job does do just that.

Inquisitorial Acolyte

As part of my Daemonhunters’ army I have a retuine for my Daemonhunter Inquisitor including an Acolyte, a trainee Inquisitor.

Having painted the parchment on the figure, I added the writing. I have also highlighted the purple cloak with Warlock Purple paint.

Personally I am not too happy with the text writing so I may start over and try again.

Finished my Grey Knights (eventually)

After quite a long time I have finally finished the first of my Grey Knights.

These were started a few years ago and I never really got around  to spending huge amounts of time on them, as other projects always seemed to take over.

I am quite pleased with them and I am using them as the basis for my other Grey Knights.

I am using desert basing to fit in with my desert terrain.

You can see how I painted these Grey Knights in the full workbench feature on them.
