For example I decided to give them all gold helmets following the examples from the Liber Astartes and of course the old Black Book Malevolence.<br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr6_2U17Aj_oN6-QLFK35iHCbXiNi6bFd_1H8YrxMS5Ks2msCCWiezlqBNn83dzgcTARYus0zMcSY8uapULHmmAKGbE-g41QhwQTtvqdipYDJLhY9nAgCGENtzOp9hCqVc9U9K_tet6R1gP_A_Iyvoo-iY4FIgstm55fnJ50WrGCq98N9aHDk9VLburWFE/s5472/Pict%201423%20-%20Legions%20Imperialis%20Blood%20Angels%20Contemptors%20and%20Plasma%20Support%20Marines.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Legions Imperialis Blood Angels Contemptors and Plasma Support" border="0" data-original-height="3648" data-original-width="5472" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr6_2U17Aj_oN6-QLFK35iHCbXiNi6bFd_1H8YrxMS5Ks2msCCWiezlqBNn83dzgcTARYus0zMcSY8uapULHmmAKGbE-g41QhwQTtvqdipYDJLhY9nAgCGENtzOp9hCqVc9U9K_tet6R1gP_A_Iyvoo-iY4FIgstm55fnJ50WrGCq98N9aHDk9VLburWFE/w400-h266/Pict%201423%20-%20Legions%20Imperialis%20Blood%20Angels%20Contemptors%20and%20Plasma%20Support%20Marines.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pict 1423: Legions Imperialis Blood Angels Contemptors and Plasma Support<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p>Since I had the fitting shades of red on my wet palette, I also finished up some more Legions Imperialis Marines.

He <a href="https://abutterflyshobbytally.blogspot.com/2022/10/two-more-blood-angel-hqs-and-more.html" target="_blank">was done quite a while ago</a> but I had to chop off the head for my <a href="https://abutterflyshobbytally.blogspot.com/2023/11/blood-angel-mortalis-destroyers-and.html" target="_blank">Raldoron</a>.
I had selected and primed a head pretty much right after decapitating.
But I never got around to painting it until now. There also was a bit of
touching up to be done around the collar. I'm really happy with how he
looks now and glad he can now be able to be fielded again.<p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQjjZEw0_d76d_iJJHgL91t14HXbwmN6IuSe-ZzXGwYDstKwLr2bwJn49t27U1hNVo7JWjJHAtNvN3D3I4FVPEiaNhZXJn2uuvt031moPcTwoiVqKr_vMGRFFh4-rgsjXHvlGKMJ-zLQ5YMaQa0nWK9siVAgzvCt7cw_Q5Ou5e2BB3K3Io_AYEYejddGMA/s4582/Pict%201425%20-%20Horus%20Heresy%20and%20Legions%20Imperialis%20Size%20Comparison.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Horus Heresy and Legions Imperialis Size Comparison" border="0" data-original-height="3055" data-original-width="4582" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQjjZEw0_d76d_iJJHgL91t14HXbwmN6IuSe-ZzXGwYDstKwLr2bwJn49t27U1hNVo7JWjJHAtNvN3D3I4FVPEiaNhZXJn2uuvt031moPcTwoiVqKr_vMGRFFh4-rgsjXHvlGKMJ-zLQ5YMaQa0nWK9siVAgzvCt7cw_Q5Ou5e2BB3K3Io_AYEYejddGMA/w400-h266/Pict%201425%20-%20Horus%20Heresy%20and%20Legions%20Imperialis%20Size%20Comparison.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pict 1425: Horus Heresy and Legions Imperialis Size Comparison<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p>This also a great opportunity to do the

Glueing on the all the missing branches did not take long at all and the basecolours and washes went down fast as well. Treebeard is missing some greenstuffing before the priming. The gaps should be done quickly, but Merry is missing his right hand.

The hardest part really were the eyelenses - that's the first time I acually used a maginfying glass to see what I'm doing! And even now, the blown up pictures show all that went wrong.

I really love the Thunderhawk model – they are so big in comparison! And of course I would probably never get them for the 28mm collection. I also was inspired by <a href="https://www.chaosbunker.de/en/2021/11/17/thunderhawks-hooo/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chaosbunker's Thunderhawk conversion</a> and decided to recreate the open front hatch.<br />The Fire Raptors had their cupolas magnetised, even if it look like I will probably only use the Lascannons in LI. But I might play them in Aeronautica and then would want the options. Anyways it was quite fun little project using small steel ball bearings in the cupolas and a magnet inside the hull right between them.<br /></p><br />XarfaiEngelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15585730633140356451noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1811131259035795286.post-24560482148653563672023-11-26T16:00:00.004+01:002024-03-17T14:14:45.100+01:00Infinity Mercenaries: Kaplan Tactical Service<p>November once again provided very little hobby time, so this post will be a quick catch-up.

I pushed the contrast on the gold this time around and I have to say it does pop more than with my ususal recipe.

The Vigilator is pretty much stock with only a little bit of green stuff to elevate the helmet a bit. Same goes for Raldoron – here, I removed the sculted blood from the blade and of course I also gave him a helmet. I realised that the Blood Angels Preator in power armour uses a helmet that is based of an illustration of Raldoron and so I had to behead <a href="https://abutterflyshobbytally.blogspot.com/2022/10/two-more-blood-angel-hqs-and-more.html" target="_blank">my painted Praetor</a>... He'll be getting a new head as well. The Librarian is based on the model for Ahzek Ahriman, I still had from my Betrayal at Calth box. I used plastic Mk IV head and torso and removed a lot of the sculpted detail.

I got the project box out and selected a few miniatures to paint up next. They come from various eras – the Vampires and the Werefox are from the Night Horrors line from the late 80s/early 90s; the metal Neferata and her cat Bastet are from the 6th edition Vampires whilst the plastic Necromancer is a modern sculpt from the 8th edition. Ever since the plastic Neferata was released during the End Times, I wanted to convert her on foot. I've had the bits, including a scond hand Yvraine, for quite some time now and after fiddling with the Librian, I also started outlining this conversion – the next step will be the green stuffing and some minor details.<br /></p><br />XarfaiEngelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15585730633140356451noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1811131259035795286.post-23348247968439855072023-10-22T15:00:00.001+02:002023-10-22T15:00:00.144+02:00DreadTober: The Castra Ferrum finished<p>This week I got around to do quite a bit of glazing and detailwork to finish both the Castra Ferrum Dreadnought and the remaining eight Despoilers.

It was great fun, to take the Tyranids out of their box again. I think my last game of 40k was right at the start of 8th edition, so it must have been sometime six years ago. My <a href="https://www.instagram.com/smallthingsmodelling/" target="_blank">opponent</a> hadn't played even longer. So it took us some time to figure out what we were doing, but in the end it was quite fun and did feel appropriately 40k.</p><p>Anyways, my bugs sustained some dings and scratches during their slumber. So I set out to refurbish them somewhat and started with these Hormagaunts. Whilst I was ironing out the dings and scratches I also updated the markings on the carapace to bring them up to speed a bit. If I find myself playing more 40k I will have to get eight more models to fill out the squad. And of course, they still suffer from the falling disease of all Hormagaunts so I might have to get myself some fitting washers to put under the base.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPrIt6op2rgE-j8O3JIGtY8C-FcY-rzCmYC-OrS_374A0fewuEgrzEkmkdS9pVm1JxIbrHg4EMSteYaTh9rnHvyM8MFmAGlMd8DP0GZ6rZhPDgzhJlAwFRyh_GxQQYglEXE2orSW1x77KtB47fZ9Qq0gsY0plJoS51ONdOanVK8bgczzcCl8IHfswK8noJ/s4000/Pict%201352%20-%20Wight%20King%20and%20Sepulchral%20Guard.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Wight King and Sepulchral Guard" border="0" data-original-height="2248" data-original-width="4000" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPrIt6op2rgE-j8O3JIGtY8C-FcY-rzCmYC-OrS_374A0fewuEgrzEkmkdS9pVm1JxIbrHg4EMSteYaTh9rnHvyM8MFmAGlMd8DP0GZ6rZhPDgzhJlAwFRyh_GxQQYglEXE2orSW1x77KtB47fZ9Qq0gsY0plJoS51ONdOanVK8bgczzcCl8IHfswK8noJ/w640-h360/Pict%201352%20-%20Wight%20King%20and%20Sepulchral%20Guard.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pict 1352: Wight King and Sepulchral Guard<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLeJaaFXCBvsCxeA0tukLaJSZoRBNQO5YAw9tXjTh0Y6wMbmvSMwy5XUlkgFMhmh9uGz9Iu3Rc7HBZn5PABEM_RDWkOcVRnhV21PumVZ_1D6uPBmmQ7xCHw51Nkc6qRuVK6DholgIL3A1OGDUhq2MMLydfQtF8zoNhmlcee6pDSNQFnAKBJPGfCaXy6IeK/s3787/Pict%201353%20-%20Wight%20King%20and%20Sepulchral%20Guard.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Wight King and Sepulchral Guard" border="0" data-original-height="2128" data-original-width="3787" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLeJaaFXCBvsCxeA0tukLaJSZoRBNQO5YAw9tXjTh0Y6wMbmvSMwy5XUlkgFMhmh9uGz9Iu3Rc7HBZn5PABEM_RDWkOcVRnhV21PumVZ_1D6uPBmmQ7xCHw51Nkc6qRuVK6DholgIL3A1OGDUhq2MMLydfQtF8zoNhmlcee6pDSNQFnAKBJPGfCaXy6IeK/w400-h225/Pict%201353%20-%20Wight%20King%20and%20Sepulchral%20Guard.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pict 1353: Wight King and Sepulchral Guard</td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p>I also finished up this selection of skeletons.

The foot troops are all beautiful metal models that were originally released in 2001 and were availiable recently as a Made-to-order. Having painted them now, I have grown to love them even more. They are so characterfull.

I'm surprised the hacked of and switched out tail of a Zoanthrope did not fall of as often as it did – back in the day I did not use pins between the bits!

The first few colours are a bit stark, but the final layer really ties it together.

The pices are a tad eclectic – the statues come from the old Osgiliath ruins set and feel very different to the Age of Sigmar era Charnel Throne while the two wells by Tabletop World are in an other league entirely.

I also like the eyes I painted on Radukar – the faces on the two Vyrkos Bloodborn were a bit more difficult and don't look quite as good...<br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRk4yJLEsRE5Jw74VST7KwVYNcjaGhqvXiqyKdvRju-WfbccVlwd65GxK3VCw8U3cc30oOm9FrTnz1R4YCtufIEwHM6Uq_QZhRYWq865VHRxJQDHTItMR_dHpbBQu8UP6GUYLF8JjtwthekJQ-Gfvwo_4ejj0VBaMXgZWVqEchZgdDeUc7vcqSr5e8Ng/s3875/Pict%201292%20-%20Badab%20Enforcers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Badab Enforcers" border="0" data-original-height="2178" data-original-width="3875" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRk4yJLEsRE5Jw74VST7KwVYNcjaGhqvXiqyKdvRju-WfbccVlwd65GxK3VCw8U3cc30oOm9FrTnz1R4YCtufIEwHM6Uq_QZhRYWq865VHRxJQDHTItMR_dHpbBQu8UP6GUYLF8JjtwthekJQ-Gfvwo_4ejj0VBaMXgZWVqEchZgdDeUc7vcqSr5e8Ng/w640-h360/Pict%201292%20-%20Badab%20Enforcers.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pict 1292: Badab Enforcers<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjChyg2INI1tuYaYsFmfNdW3-s7wdH1ir_i2_cfOoOiu_3ymxXJ0oQlW6l55tAGC67L2Le2gEjo9uCaXPcggZKaAEI6f8UEXqoVbal5lEqUKb-Ou39vSehATL2GCTSpRWMcgPhBVdX2C9LQ44Py4nbicqO_YXpcMSU7h8I5okayfgP7FmPuArNnH47Tvw/s4000/Pict%201293%20-%20Badab%20Enforcers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Badab Enforcers" border="0" data-original-height="2248" data-original-width="4000" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjChyg2INI1tuYaYsFmfNdW3-s7wdH1ir_i2_cfOoOiu_3ymxXJ0oQlW6l55tAGC67L2Le2gEjo9uCaXPcggZKaAEI6f8UEXqoVbal5lEqUKb-Ou39vSehATL2GCTSpRWMcgPhBVdX2C9LQ44Py4nbicqO_YXpcMSU7h8I5okayfgP7FmPuArNnH47Tvw/w400-h225/Pict%201293%20-%20Badab%20Enforcers.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pict 1293: Badab Enforcers</td></tr></tbody></table></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnormU2cY2oIYrGm7RrMEXGv68nXLi6s_nQlBQGQTTQWE6jAWQ4UgmYwk1wRngxObigbbzZSgQHuJNysviks2h_1VRi7p_isjmULY_5mIs3WIze4_LR_80_tcK8RHmmdFcogD5aV9zJ6ta3K3TZaKkHX3-4r4hV293YcU7nalCqr4HiDvu0c1Dk1qhMw/s4000/Pict%201294%20-%20Badab%20Enforcers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Badab Enforcers" border="0" data-original-height="2248" data-original-width="4000" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnormU2cY2oIYrGm7RrMEXGv68nXLi6s_nQlBQGQTTQWE6jAWQ4UgmYwk1wRngxObigbbzZSgQHuJNysviks2h_1VRi7p_isjmULY_5mIs3WIze4_LR_80_tcK8RHmmdFcogD5aV9zJ6ta3K3TZaKkHX3-4r4hV293YcU7nalCqr4HiDvu0c1Dk1qhMw/w400-h225/Pict%201294%20-%20Badab%20Enforcers.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pict 1294: Badab Enforcers</td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p>The Badab Enforcers really came together with the highlights sponged on and a brown oil wash.

They will be part of my Badab War collection, forming the human compartment of the Tyrant's Legion.<br />For now, the basecoats are almost done.

Really an amazing model, these characters are what Forge World exels at.<br /></p><p>For the gold armour I used two different shades of Vallejo Liquid Gold (these paints are really amazing!) shaded with Seraphim Sepia. Following this, the details were rather simple – pretty much only a basecoat, wash and some highlights. And even the leopard's fur was not to bad after I had finally convinced myself to start at it. Really a great project to push myself and learn new techniques!<br /></p><p>The base is made using the rider from a metal Bloodcrusher. I found that the deamon needed very little adjustment to the pose. Just a few cuts, a left hand from a Crypt Ghoul and some Green Stuff.

Of course these miniatures stand out more than the common Orc, but a way forward might be to paint the Orcs I have in smaller batches.<br />The freehands on the banners were great fun! I looked at the old Mordor supplement from 2008 to get inspired for banners from different regions of Mordor. The one with the red face is more of a general banner but is inspired by the designs on the Minas Morgul banners.

It's one of my new year's resolutions to paint and play at least the first expansion of these, so painting Radukar will hopefully be a good start to that!<br /></p>XarfaiEngelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15585730633140356451noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1811131259035795286.post-48953970883900123032023-02-12T15:00:00.041+01:002023-02-12T15:00:00.177+01:00The High Host of the Blood Angels<p>Once again, quite a successful couple of weeks with some more Blood Angels as well as a setof ruins from the Moonbase Klaisus.<br /></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH7nXTekyq9uIDILnswV-v54RCLnAOFvkYCNQvStE_jl3Syp52WXy-3gB2l20txp8k2HDh738Cmc6w4qDJCLIrkHuuE9W5m0JV6HI34mJtu_xxzfButyZEsSPSzaHhIhNNbvDfR28tq_uQarmKdKHxWntyBdoGZToUZnreylzgGif156h6GjQmj5n9sg/s4000/Pict%201272%20-%20Blood%20Angels%20High%20Host%20Destroyers.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Blood Angels High Host Destroyers" border="0" data-original-height="2248" data-original-width="4000" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH7nXTekyq9uIDILnswV-v54RCLnAOFvkYCNQvStE_jl3Syp52WXy-3gB2l20txp8k2HDh738Cmc6w4qDJCLIrkHuuE9W5m0JV6HI34mJtu_xxzfButyZEsSPSzaHhIhNNbvDfR28tq_uQarmKdKHxWntyBdoGZToUZnreylzgGif156h6GjQmj5n9sg/w640-h360/Pict%201272%20-%20Blood%20Angels%20High%20Host%20Destroyers.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pict 1272: Blood Angels High Host Destroyers<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxYlHBkMsAZ63vDHyAO2QwZUjzUxCGtjuEE5taAooIdMAd6gfLMOq38SIkYh2yftx0a55iFkI5lBimVYAnuXD1bNPZnAIJBXTLiov9aKnMg0up-MjjwXWDe4X3fbf7ilrlEaPAc15ubuf-_uU1S99WAFhys3uXJ7wMAxyjzb0XdND33l-BLSOJVqWk_g/s3597/Pict%201273%20-%20Blood%20Angels%20High%20Host%20Destroyers.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Blood Angels High Host Destroyers" border="0" data-original-height="2022" data-original-width="3597" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxYlHBkMsAZ63vDHyAO2QwZUjzUxCGtjuEE5taAooIdMAd6gfLMOq38SIkYh2yftx0a55iFkI5lBimVYAnuXD1bNPZnAIJBXTLiov9aKnMg0up-MjjwXWDe4X3fbf7ilrlEaPAc15ubuf-_uU1S99WAFhys3uXJ7wMAxyjzb0XdND33l-BLSOJVqWk_g/w400-h225/Pict%201273%20-%20Blood%20Angels%20High%20Host%20Destroyers.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pict 1273: Blood Angels High Host Destroyers</td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirpbu8HYIfgVCTkxo_jV3QsRwBjrC9uNuUp8bI7sRf1EqrrgYV7f7ByXcfh0hyZG-1-9fEKAnGt3ecfbXT33MJtUovJtT7Q3SzzxcUD56wIZBhE3Qo9oCWJgn_NbF4MWzNBQQffzWZ0uUgV68bPzgQyslDQTOb1ssXGrhpztKxpfPe57yuex9Xj10ZzQ/s3604/Pict%201274%20-%20Blood%20Angels%20High%20Host%20Destroyers.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Blood Angels High Host Destroyers" border="0" data-original-height="2025" data-original-width="3604" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirpbu8HYIfgVCTkxo_jV3QsRwBjrC9uNuUp8bI7sRf1EqrrgYV7f7ByXcfh0hyZG-1-9fEKAnGt3ecfbXT33MJtUovJtT7Q3SzzxcUD56wIZBhE3Qo9oCWJgn_NbF4MWzNBQQffzWZ0uUgV68bPzgQyslDQTOb1ssXGrhpztKxpfPe57yuex9Xj10ZzQ/w400-h225/Pict%201274%20-%20Blood%20Angels%20High%20Host%20Destroyers.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pict 1274: Blood Angels High Host Destroyers</td></tr></tbody></table><p>First up are the five Destroyers of Zephon's High Host.

These ruins come from the Moonbase Klaisus set from a few years back. At first I was a bit taken aback with how blue the colour came out of the spraycan, but with a black oilwash, some sponge weathering and the pigments they do look quite nice now. As usual, I've written up how I painted these ruins <a href="https://abutterflyshobbytally.blogspot.com/p/painting-recipe-sector-fronteris-ryza.html" target="_blank">on a separate page</a> for future reference – you can find it in the sidebar on the right.</p>XarfaiEngelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15585730633140356451noreply@blogger.com4
