Armiger September - Armiger Showcase

Greetings all! Evidently, it's an Armiger type month, and Grendal's Armiger painting convinced me to want to paint up the guy I've been sitting on for a while. Gotta say, the model is a joy to paint up, nice simple areas. I've made a bit of a diorama of this, and I know the base is bigger than 'allowed', but Rule of Cool, so there.

Showcase: Armiger

Along with the Reiver I had almost completed my second Armiger. I finished adding the basing and painted and sealed the Agrellan Earth and I have a second Armiger finished.

I painted my last Armiger in the darker purple that the rest of my Ad Mech vehicles are done in. Since I wanted this one to be a bit different, I decided to paint him the lighter purple of my leaders to signify that he is an individual while he still is related of the group. I tried a few other things to make him stand out but in the end the primary color and yellow skulls are the only thing that I kept.

I also tried a new crackle paint on the base. I didn’t get the result I wanted so, I went back to the Agrellan Earth. I also added some pink foam for some rocky outcroppings like the Dunecrawlers and other knights. Not the greatest of basing but it helps breakup the totally flat surface.

I still have the guns for him to work on but until I find my magnets they are on hold. Right now I can run one of each of the armigers or two warglaives. I am ok with that.

Next up is the abominant, witch elves, and stingwings. We are getting closer to the best month Orktober.

Questions? Comments? Pew pew pews!

Battle Damaged Scenery and Big Bots!

Hi all!

Been a slow week for me, as it's the last week of summer stretching into the first week of teacher work. So I've been filling the time with using up some of this huge variety of plastic scenery filling up my wargames closet. I also wanted to try some new techniques out that have been bouncing around my brain for a while.

Showcase: helverin upgrade

Back when Forgebane came out, I built and painted up one of the armiger warglaives. While building it, I thought that they would release another load out later on, so I magnetized the arms. I am glad I did.

Showcase: Armiger Warglaive

Yesterday I added the finishing touches on my Armiger Warglaive. This baby knight can help his big brother getting rid of the chaff or help out the Mechanicus by bringing some heavy fire support to the table.
