Forge World Bulletin 18

Forge World Bulletin 18 went live earlier today, conple of photos from the Heresy Weekender, a nicely painted Sicerian and the shiny new possessed.

Lone Missile Marine For The Glorious 1000

Little steps. While painting the Storm Raven and spraying the Baal Predator with it's base cost I also painted this Marine to go in The Glorious 1000 to replace the Marine I have with the RT Dreadnought Missile Launcher. As you can see he's been painted around various tasks, mostly to do with the Baal Predator, I could do with getting one of the older marines out and doing a side by side comparision for colours, and if it is different, well that world fell to Heresy/Tyranids/Tau and they just couldn't get the same shade no matter how far they have searched.

Ranting About Camo

Now to date every time I put the Glorious 1000 tanks up on Facebook I get flamed, my eyes, what the hell is that and other comments. Now heres the thing who knows what the terrain on an Exo planet is going to look like, from the comments I get all I can think is people think that Exo planets are going to look a cross between Griffith Park, The High Serria in California and the woods outside Vancouver, where standard NATO DPM would work well. But that does not go far enough, I will say Stargate did a better job of Exo planes than Star Trek, but by the end they where using the same quarry, woods and lake side as many times before. Stargate Universe did the best job of Exo planets in current sci-fi. So when I say camo what do you think? The Glorious 1000 Heavy Bolter team are painted up for night world/city fight, the missile team is painted up like an Amur Leopard for snow blizzard, the tanks are painted up for sulpher/iron dessert, but most people think this is wrong. Come on guys an Exo planet is not going to look like the North German plaines and woodland, the camo patterns you are used to are not going to work on every world in the Imperium. So in future when someone says camo think outside of the NATO DPM box in future, look up Rio Tinto in Spain, watch Top Gear when they go to Iceland and think what camo should I do for this place?

Knights Of Blood Storm Raven

I wanted a Storm Raven for the Knights Of Blood, and finially won one on Ebay recently. Since I got the mini it has grown on me. The one I've got while not having all the options does have all the moving bits. The turret has been taken off as I'm happy for that to remain red, as is the cowling at the back. This is how it's going out the back to be sprayed black in 3 minutes. The turret has been dry brushed with Evil Sunz Scarlet as have the assault cannons. The Missile Launcher marine beside turret is for The Glorious 1000, the medic is a reminder of the colours.

Big Guns

I managed to get the 2 Multi Meltas and 2 Plasma Cannons painted this week, only really had a couple of hours to do anything this week, hitting about 70 hours awake at work this week, so I'm not happy but glad I got something done. Also got some stuff for the Knights Of Blood, a Storm Raven and a mk1 Baal Pattern Predator, so plenty of projects for rainy days!
