Cygnar sword knights WiP

I had these guys laying around for about a month, and finally it was their time to get some paint (not to mention that I really need them on the field this Friday :))

Stormwall - All finished

One finished Stormwall joins the collection

Stormwall is almost done

Just a few little touches left, and he will be 100% ready for battle!

Cygnar Stormwall

It's time to get started with the stormwall :)

For the starter I wanted to get the lightning pods out of the way:

Nice and easy pieces :)

Once they were done, it was time to start working on the big guy.

The base is rather simple. Cryx heavy jack marker, and some sandy modeling paste. 

And since colossal is supposed to be colossal,  i made some footprints in the earth:

Legs got a layer of rust color that will be used for the weathering:

Then it was priming time for the rest of the pieces:

To conclude the work for today, the base is almost finished (still lacking static grass), and blue on the legs is sprayed on and weathered.
I'm not too happy about the hairspray method I used, and I will probably complete the weathering on the body and arms using the old salt method :)

Battle engine / Collosal transportation.

Ever since I completed my Cygnar battle engine, I had an issue of how to transport it. The previous case I used for Circle Orboros celestial fulcrum wasnt deep enough for the Storm Strider.

Here is the solution:

Old army surplus ammo box (you can probably get this or something similar anywhere) and layered cut out foam.

The case is large enough to carry 4 giant base models, so my (still only planned) two battle engines and two colossal will be carried around safely :)

Holy mother of all WIP's :)

Today I realized how much i have going on with this Cygnar army :)

Here are some shots of assembled (or partially assembled models):

Here we have Ol' Rowdy, Thunderhead, Hammersmith, Centurion, Heavy warjack kit (magnetized), 4 long gunners, pHayley, Gorman, squire and Laddermore, all more or less ready for paint (except Gorman and Laddermore)

Mounted Laddermore getting her base done

Two units of field mechanics, GMCA (one of the two i have), and eEyriss :)

A little bit of everything :) Mainly Boomhowler and his fellas, and ATGM unit (and pNemo, eNemo)

These boyz definitely look like trenchers :) (and space wolves behind them :P)

More of everything including some Circle, Skaven and an airplane i never finished :)

Lets see how long it takes me to paint all this :)

Small update

Today was mostly spent on preparing four heavy jacks for priming. In the meanwhile these two little models were painted up to tabletop standard :)

More updated will follow :)

Storm Strider FTW!

All there is left to do is a few minor touch-ups and to add some battle damage.

This is probably one of the best models I ever painted :)

Progress update - Storm Strider

Starting to look like a battle engine :)

Now to finish off the coils, finish the crew/pilots, and go play with it :)

More work on the battle engine

The work on the battle engine progresses well :)

The legs and the tiny torso were first primed:

And while the primer dried, I finished the base with static grass and the tufts:

There might be a little more drybrush involved with the base, but I will have to take another look tomorrow and decide :)

And here is how the whole thing will look like on the base:

Slowly getting there :)

Here is what an honest afternoon's work can achieve :)

The base for the storm strider was textured, and later on primed.

Here is what it looks like now :)

While I waited for all the paint to dry, I managed to finish my last light jack as well :)

Beginning of a larger project

My Storm Strider arrived a few days ago, and I decided to paint it to the highest level i'm capable of, and enter it into Wamp's Privateer Press competition.

For now I just started planing it out :)

The base follow's my theme for the cygnar army: cobblestone roads, wall, and there will be a lot of red earth and grass on it once the pva glue holding the wall and cobbles dries.
