Inspired from the illustration in the first Horus Heresy book, Betrayal, I wanted to get a metallic purple armor instead of the standard opaque version from Forge World<br />
<br />

<br />
I'm not 100% sold on the steel helmet: I'll probably go with a metallic purple helmet with a golden mask<br />

just a quick update to show the work so far on the tactical side of things<br />

The 20 Emperor's Children marines are almost done, just the heads and backpacks are missing at the moment, along with a couple of options for the two Sergeants<br />
<br />
I've replaced most of the standard torsos with the Forge World ones and used a bounce of old metal shoulder pads that I've bought long ago. This, and the fact that the 10 good guys are going to get Blood Angels shoulder pads, have give me access to the whole 12 studded pads of the set so I was able to use a studded pad for every marine with a studded leg<br />
<br />
Speaking of the good guys, you can see them in the background awaiting for heads, pads and backpacks<br />
<br />
All the models are based with only some minor detailing work left to do on the base themselves<br />
<br />
If all goes according to plans, I will paint a test model for the EC this weekend :)A painting chaoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06936092856781758018noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1985712124654780557.post-69409822679888090912015-11-16T00:14:00.000+01:002015-11-16T00:14:11.268+01:00Betrayal at Calth: Cataphractii Terminators magnetized Hi guys,<br />

This kit is awesome, many options full of details. The only problem is that it comes with only 5 pairs of shoulder pads<br />
<br />

<br />
In the end, after many failed attempts, I pinned the shoulder pads to the arms:<br />

<br />
<br />
As I was already working on Terminators I've cleaned up Captain Aethon and glued a couple of bits. The main body is keep together only by blue tack as I want to paint it in sub-assemblies (the same goes for the Terminators heads)<br />

playing around with the comptemptor, it's pose and the base<br />
<br />
I've cut out and repositioned the left left to make it look a bit more dynamic<br />

<br />
The cast quality is good and I've found very few mould lines. It will need a bit of gap filling on the legs to hide the join lines<br />
<br />
Next up? Probably the Terminators ;)<br />

It's a sweet kit to build, you can put it together almost in any way you want, it's a no-brainer really<br />

After a bit of testing I revised my old colour scheme and I started to paint one of my Venoms. Here are some pics of the little thing so far:<br />

<br />
I'm probably going to paint the two gem-like thingy above the engine in gold too to add a bit more of the colour on the model<br />
<br />
Here is it as seen from below. This is actually an older pic, the sections of the upper hull on the nose are painted in gold too, like they are on the upper surface<br />
<br />

<br />
There is still a lot to do: paint the weapons, the pilot and the crew (I'm not sure about how many there are going to be), more work on the edge highlight on the green hull, the various trophies and so long and a whole lot of things to fix and clean up... I'm also going to try and put some tribal markings on the hull if I can manage to do that without ruining the whole thing ...<br />
<br />
C&C really appreciated!<br />

During the weekend I worked on the last addition to my Alaitoc army: a Night Spinner!<br />
<div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Falcon chassis is really showing it's age, the surface is covered with micro bumbs and imperfection that needed careful sanding. The main turret (and also the hull mounted Shuriken catapults) is magnetised so it could be replaced by a Fire Prism turret or a Falcon one if needed<br />
<br />
I glued it in various sub-assemblies, keeping my painting-plan in mind. I also spent quite a lot of time filling gaps with green stuff and milluput (and sanding again after that!)<br />
<br />
All the bits and pieces are washed and they are drying right now</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

What a better time to come back from the Dead!<br />
<br />

Just look for yourself:<br />

The box as big as the one of the Eldar Wraithknight. Inside it's almost empty, just two sprues, the assembly manual and a BIG base.<br />

This is an awesome model. I have quite a few ideas on how to build and base it; I just don't know when that will happen :)</div>

I made some progress on the Shadow Veawers, the yellow bits are pretty much done on the batteries. In the end I will probably go in with some edge highlighting<br />
<br />

<br />
Shadows and highlights are also complete on the gunners. Just some black lining left to do on some modes<br />

I really like to known what you guys think on the shadows: are they too dark?<br />
<br />
With the yellow bits done it's time to start on the blue ones, beginning with a dark grey base coat<br />

I'm back from the holidays with a new project: a unit of Vaul's wrath support batteries I'm building for my Eldar army that it's currently in need of a bit more of long range fire power to deal with infantry and light vehicles. For the moment I'm going with three Shadow Veawers but I've magnetised the gun so I could easily swap it out for one of the other options if the need arise<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The model is very easy to assembly on the paper but doing so will make painting it an hellish job so I'm going to paint almost every single bits separately. I'm also using six stock Guardians as the gunners to add a bit of variety. Game-wise I will ignore the guy sitting on the gun piece itself as every support battery can field only two gunners<br />
<br />
Here are all the bits ready to be primed: almost half of them will be primed in white while the other will get primed with German Panzer Grey as usual for my Iyanden colour scheme<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I also started to work on the yellow sections. This is were things start to be a little different from how I painted my Iyanden army so far. During the last month I did some experiments because I was not 100% satisfied by how my airbrush works keep turning out. They were always a bit chalky or dusty and not as bright as I wanted them<br />
<br />
One of the things I tried out was to apply the first coat of colour (the base coat layer) with a brush instead that airbrushing it. Only after I achieved a nice solid coat of colour I went in with my airbrush to complete the job<br />
<br />
Here is a example of what I'm talking about. In the first image you can see a couple of Wraithguards I painted as a test on the yellow before I painted my Wraithnight. On the second image you can see another Wraithguard I painted following my new method<br />

<br />
<br />
So the first order of business was to put down this first layer of brushed on yellow. To get a more brighter base layer I'm starting for Vallejo Game Color Sun Yellow:<br />

So far so good. Next up: working on the yellow with the airbrush<br />

<br />
Joining force with The Black Library they have brought us the <a href="http://www.blacklibrary.com/2013-advent" target="_blank">2013 Digital Advent Calendar</a>: not an original idea per se, but surely a serious effort to offer us new content and rules everyday<br />
<br />
Personally, I bought the rules (or, as they call them, dataslates) for both <a href="http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=23708&a=2355200&url=https%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fgb%2Fbook%2Fdataslate-belakor-dark-master%2Fid768311429%3Fmt%3D11%26uo%3D4%26partnerId%3D2003" target="_blank">Be'lakor</a> (the 40K flavor, there is a <a href="http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=23708&a=2355200&url=https%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fgb%2Fbook%2Fbattlescroll-belakor-dark%2Fid768723500%3Fmt%3D11%26uo%3D4%26partnerId%3D2003" target="_blank">Warhammer Fantasy Battle version</a>) and the <a href="http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=23708&a=2355200&url=https%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fgb%2Fbook%2Fdataslate-tau-firebase-support%2Fid768819216%3Fmt%3D11%26uo%3D4%26partnerId%3D2003" target="_blank">Tau Fireblade Support Cadre</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I always loved the <a href="http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=23708&a=2355200&url=https%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fgb%2Fbook%2Fdataslate-belakor-dark-master%2Fid768311429%3Fmt%3D11%26uo%3D4%26partnerId%3D2003" target="_blank">Be'lakor</a> model and I bough him some times ago (you can find an unboxing <a href="http://apaintingchaos.blogspot.it/2012/11/warriors-of-chaos-belakor-daemon-prince.html" target="_blank">here</a>) and this new rules will allow me to field him, someday, along my other Chaos models. And from a gaming point of view, the rules are very good if not a bit pricey<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UNLyoohSVC8/UqA5uQJq9eI/AAAAAAAABYY/t229iuHN0TQ/s1600/DATASLATE+TAU+FIREBLADE+SUPPORT+CADRE+(EBOOK+EDITION).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UNLyoohSVC8/UqA5uQJq9eI/AAAAAAAABYY/t229iuHN0TQ/s320/DATASLATE+TAU+FIREBLADE+SUPPORT+CADRE+(EBOOK+EDITION).JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
The <a href="http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=23708&a=2355200&url=https%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fgb%2Fbook%2Fdataslate-tau-firebase-support%2Fid768819216%3Fmt%3D11%26uo%3D4%26partnerId%3D2003" target="_blank">Firebase Support Cadre</a> complement the box set by the same name that Games Workshop released in November, a box set for with you pay 6 Broadside Suits and get a Ripdite for free, something that it's quite astonishing by itself. And again, the rules are very good! If think we will see more of this guys on the table than before, if you could believe it<br />
<br />
Today, on the 5th day of the Advent Calendar, they released the rules another box set they released in November: the <a href="http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=23708&a=2355200&url=https%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fgb%2Fbook%2Fdataslate-adeptus-astartes%2Fid770833924%3Fmt%3D11%26uo%3D4%26partnerId%3D2003" target="_blank">Adeptus Astartes Storm Wing</a>, a formation composed by a Storm Raven and two Storm Talons so it look like that they are really going to release rules for all the box sets and this if really making me exited about the <a href="http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=23708&a=2355200&url=https%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fgb%2Fbook%2Fdataslate-eldar-ghost-warriors%2Fid770978563%3Fmt%3D11%26uo%3D4%26partnerId%3D2003" target="_blank">Eldar</a> one! :) I already own all the models included in that box set (a Wraithknight, two Wraithlords, fifteen Wraighguards / Wraithblades) so I can't wait to get some cool <a href="http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=23708&a=2355200&url=https%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fgb%2Fbook%2Fdataslate-eldar-ghost-warriors%2Fid770978563%3Fmt%3D11%26uo%3D4%26partnerId%3D2003" target="_blank">rules</a> too and field the Iyanden Ghost army I always wanted to play :D<br />
<br />
But GW Digital efforts are not new. If you look up <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/it/artist/games-workshop/id536481148?mt=11" target="_blank">Games Workshop on the iBookstore</a> you will find that there are already 169 digital product already available, ranging from Codices to Painting Guides, Rulebooks and expansions, both for Warhammer 40K and Warhammer Fantasy Battles, most of witch are available as an e-book or in the enhanced iBooks version<br />

<br />
So, is GW Digital era really begun?<br />
<br />
We are getting more content, more frequently and keeping it all together is starting to get a bit complicated. I will not be surprised at all if in the near future they came out with an App to aggregate all the digital content, at least for the ones related to game rules and army composition. Add in an army list builder it will sell like candies<br />
<br />
I'm hoping for too much?<br />

<br />
A quick update on the Tau Riptide: work is almost complete on the main armour plates, just a couple of spots to fix up after the black pin-wash made a little mess here and there :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I also put down to base colour for the metallic parts, an almost black metal colour with a small blue tint to it<br />

The lover legs are going to stay black, not metallic colour there. I'm planning to highlight them with some warm colours to contrast the cool felling of the armour and to tie the model with the warm colours of the base</div>

Hi guys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After the completion of the Imperial Ruin I started working on a Tau allied detachment for my Eldar army. I'm still working on the fine details of the army list but I'm pretty much sold on the following units:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Tau Commander: it bring so much on the table as a support unit and I think it will work very well with a couple of Eldar units I've in mind</li>
<li>XV104 Riptide Battlesuit: awesome firepower on highly-mobile MC that could tag-team with my Wraithknight</li>
<li>Kroot Carnivore Squad: a solid troop choice (as far as a Tau can be) that can bring some shoots in late game turns or act as meat shield for a high-profile unit</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Models-wise I'm currently painting the Riptide: here it is after the first layers of colours were applied. I did not like the puny little head that comes standard with the kit so I've built it a new one trying to achieve the same look of the XV-9 battlesuits from Forge World</div>
<div>

Speaking of XV-9 battlesuits: Shas’o R’alai was gentle enough to drop in and act as my Tau Commander: </div>

I'm probably going to complete the Riptide before starting to paint the Commander but ... we will see :)</div>

In the last couple of days I completed the main work on the walls finally! I went back in with the airbrush to bring back colours in a couple of spot where they got dulled down a bit<br />

Next I started on the details: I'm going for a oxidized copper look so I started with a base coat of Scorched Brown followed by VMA Copper mixed with a bit or red<br />
