The Razorback is now glued together into one and is starting to resemble an actual dedicated transport. I do notice that trying to paint individual pieces at different times was a huge mistake. I have put foundation on the body of the tank, but the bottom have one color and the hatches another etc. I don't think the body will match either. Oh well, it's my first try with yellow, and I have found it to be better to move on than to get stuck. I've got another tac squad to paint after all (and a few other pieces).
I am seriously thinking of investing in an airbrush in the future. The cover well and I could easily put down many coats of paint evenly. See how the hatches stand out here (even if I haven't actually started the yellow coat over the foundation coats yet).
You can even see how the yellow is uneven as hell here :(
The back hatch is magnetized, that is a part I am pleased with :) Also the tracks looks real nice.
Funny enough the inside of the Razorback looks, to me, real nice. Fenris Grey all the way baby! Also brushed metal + Badab Black is a fantastic little invention. Or rather metal + any dark wash. Maybe I should try it with green, purple, or blue, just for the heck of it :)
But you can see that I now have Fenris Grey insides on all that hatches. I plan on having anything that isn't outer hull in FG and add transfers and some black details on the outside to make it a bit more interesting. I will number it 'I' as it is the first armored vehicle I do have for the Fists. I do feel a bit miffed at how much that isn't included with the Razorback though, the second bolter that goes in the front isn't available so I can't build a Rhino with two bolter-thingies for instance. And only two main weapons out of five or six for the Razorback. Bad Games Workshop, bad, bad, bad.
I am getting really curious of what a 750p army can do. We'll see if I am a tactical genius or a heretic :)
I think that the magnet part is really clever.
ReplyDeleteCool that something useful works on something you use for fun.
I think that a drybrush will do the trick, if you don´t want the surface to look really smooth.

I've been throwing on several layers of Golden Yellow, but it gets "patchy" and uneaven. I think I will go for the same "technique" I used on the marines, use the Gryphonne Sepia and then touch it up with drybrushing Golden Yellow and finishing up painting the edges with a brighter yellow (I tend to drybrush that on the marines, but I will paint it on the razorback for more definition).
ReplyDeleteI am constantly eyeing the 5 Nobz I have primed, thinking that maybe it is time to paint some green and browns :)
