Greetings Terrans, hope you’re all well! I have a quick progress report on my 7th Mordion project – I apologise in advance, because it really is a rinse and repeat of the last one – such is life when churning out the massed ranks of the Imperial Guard! Well, it is what it is – pleased to present 2nd squad, 1 platoon (Tactical):
Yup, they are basically the same as squad 1, but with yellow helmet flashes instead of red… Not much else to say really! Have a good one, more of the same next time, (and probably the time after 🤣).
Greetings Terrans, happy to share the first minis painted for my Mordion project – 1st squad of 1 Platoon. I shared details of the build & where I sourced all the bits in the last post so I won’t repeat myself, but TLDR, this is going to be a horde army on a budget so the paint job needs to be quick and easy. For inspiration, I really didn’t need to look much further than this piece by John Blanche – that also graced the cover of the RTB7 box:
And this is what I ended up with:
I went with the grey/black scheme, but also picked out the webbing pouches in green for a bit of variety. All basecoating was done with Contrast paints, and most highlighting was done quickly with a drybrush. The exception is the flesh, (which had a single ‘proper’ highlight & shade, but I skipped the eyes), and the lenses. The camo stripes & helmet detail went on last & took the longest to do, but all in all I think I did these in a week over 3 sessions. Not too bad at all! Here’s a closeup of the Sgt, lascannon & grenade launcher, showing the bits from Anvil Industries:
And one final shot of the whole squad:
Now I just need to repeat this for the remaining 3 squads plus command!
Greetings Terrans, I’ve hit a bit of a milestone on my Eldar project that I am happy to share with you today – I have completed the last of my original Eldar miniature pile! As such, this will be the last post on this subject for a while. The model in question is one of the OG Warlock figures, (‘Warlock 2’ to be precise), albeit with some weapon swaps to replace parts that had been chopped off in the dim and distant past. I also painted a companion Gyrinx – I think from the second Colony 87 Kickstarter from 2016… Seemed appropriate for the Warlock to have a psychically attuned companion :-)
Enjoy:
Painting was a very pleasant affair – I love working with dark green, and the rest of the Warlock was handled with Craftworld purple & yellow, combined with bone. The Gyrinx was fun – a nice easy wash & drybrush approach, again, using Craftworld colours. I’m pretty pleased with the tiger stripe pattern!
Anyway, that’s all on this for now – I have picked up a few more minis to round out squads and generally add to the force, but I’ll be taking a break from this army for a while & instead focus in on my Imperial Guard project to reproduce the Mordion 7th, D Company on the cheap – starting with 1st Platoon (Tactical)… More to follow on that soon.
