Thanks fellas

Here's my Mortis Engine.

 

[Guidebot]

Thanks fellas

Right. eggspr. I officially need your recipe for that engine (especially the spirit horde!). That's how I want mine to look.

Would really appreciate just a quick what paints how and where if you get the time (or even a more detailed explanation).

Some other fine looking engines/ thrones in here people! Well done

 

[Mad 'At]

Cool conversion Xpiredperson, I love it

Ask and you shall receive!!

Horde:
Base with Chaos Black spray
Paint entire horde (not armor etc) in Shadow Grey
Heavy Wash with Asurmen Blue
Drybrush with Dheneb Stone (don't be afraid to really bring out the highlights)
Heavy Wash with Thraka Green
Wash with Leviathan Purple
The two washes on top of the drybrushing really gives the drybrushing good depth and doesn't "look" like a drybrush, which is the goal.

Armor:
Base with Chaos Black spray
Paint with Chainmail
Wash with Thraka Green
Spotty wash with Ogryn Flesh (I just hit up the corrosion bumps with the Flesh to add some contrast to the green. Once the Horde is done all these colors will really pop especially after the Purple wash)

Throne:
Base with Chaos Black spray
Paint with Calthan Brown
Heavy Drybrush with Dheneb Stone
Heavy Wash with Badab Black (Drench it!)

Flames:
Base with Chaos Black spray
Paint Scorpion Green
Wash with Thraka Green (make sure you set it upright to dry so you get a natural looking shade effect as the bottom seem more green than the top).
Drybrush Scorpion Green AS WELL AS surrounding wood etc to produce glow effect.

This should get you started FYI I spray painted the sprues all chaos black before I cut them out even. A lot of people base it white... but I prefer the dark side of things, hence the profile pic

 

[Guidebot]

Hooray; thanks very much!

I was going to paint mine this weekend but I still have other models to do and it's my new policy not to buy stuff till existing stuff is done!

Next weekend.... cannae wait!

Thanks again

I may have to copy that recipe Tho' i Think I'll go easier on the blue, and add some more purple.

Thanks

Copy away my friend... just make sure you post some pics when it's done, i'd like to see it with more purple wash

 

[Greven]

Do you think it would be possible to make an engine/throne-combo, by magnetizing the characters and some of the stuff on it, so you could play it as either?

 

[jediguru]

I would also be curious to know if it'd be possible to make a combo work somehow so you have the option of playing one or the other.

 

[headhunter]

heres mine!!!

some loverly stuff on here folks!!

[The Keeper]

Finished my Coven Throne last night, so here is few pics fresh from my paint area

- Mikey

 

[headhunter]

wow!

-D

 

[Noobafrass]

I am generally amazed. The elephant is great, by the way. I'd love to see pictures of the entire army in one place.

How long are these generally taking you all from start to finish?

 

[The Keeper]

@ headhunter: Thank you

@ Noobafrass: I would say from box to tabletop mine took me around 5 days. Would have been faster if I owned an airbrush.

- Mikey

 

[robtion]

The Keeper: That looks awesome, I will be happy if mine turns out half as good. I like the green colour scheme and the vampires really pop.

 

[The Keeper]

@ Robtion: Thanks. Got a Mortis engine to paint up too but i really need to start painting some core troops first lol

 

[Santawraith]

 

[robtion]

Santawraith: Very cool. I love the rich redish colour on dresses. Need to get to work on my CT.

 

[jediguru]

Nice work Santawraith! Did you magnetize to switch between CT and ME? Care to share how you did that?

 

[Santawraith]

There is no magnetizing on the coven throne and two mortis engine's.

I actually don't believe in magnetizing and it is against my modeling religion.

Mind if I ask why?
