[WM] Stormwind Rails Against the Lead Mountain

[Toon]

That's really nice stuff Stormwind.

Did you use the new GW colors for the knight's armor?

[Stormwind]

Thank you!

It's a mix - the base colour of my blues is the incredibly pigment dense Necron Abyss from the old range. You have to be so careful with it as it's the densest pigment of all the GW paints I think - very staining.

Then Regal Blue or the brighter Mordian blue - and the new Caledor Sky paint to finish off.

The banner is done with the new Teclis Blue and the old Ice Blue mixed to make it brighter.

[David Wasilewski]

Really nice. The Blues work really well - as someone said previosuly, it makes a nice change from the usual red and/or green chaos armies that you see (including mine!).

Might have to pinch that colour scheme the next time a chaos brigade demands to be painted.

Phew!

This off-balance model was more trouble than anything else. Finally finished it and put 6 coats of Matt Varnish on it as it is gonna fall over on that wing and arm a LOT.

Two pikes on the base are maybe a little bit too much. One would have been better i think.

I like the colours a little bit less. I have never found red and blue where colours fitting well together, but it's my own perception and i know GW have promoted those colours heavily.

That's going to be a cool centerpiece of your army. Especially the oxidation effects on the metal look really nice. I like the red and blue combo: It fits well with the rest of the army and gives the dragon a nice chaotic flair.

Go go, post some group shots of your army

[marell le fou]

It's not ready to be shot yet. I'm working on a south american concept for my undeads. Aztec and maya undead inspired. With a squated mumy on a palanquin, and eagle and jaguar warriors for skeletons. And an undead giant jaguar as classical sphynx.

[David Wasilewski]

What I did with my chaos dragon is to cut out a thick, heavy circle of lead roofliner sheet and then stick it to the base and file, fill and paint. Result: One dragon that does not fall over!

[Stormwind]

Yeah - my mate Trev suggested something similar!

Kind of stalled out doing test strips for Chaos Knights and Chaos Warriors.

[Stormwind]

Behold, the first step on the road to a Wood Elf army that I should not even be contemplating on buying / building >.>

[Gun_wun]

Nice, but I need another game like I need a hole in "Da Head".  So I can't keep looking!

[Geep]

Excellent! I'm really looking forward to your Wood Elf army.

I've been tempted to start one too, but the finances are far too tight.

[Stormwind]

Thanks!  Right now though - I'm building 5 Sally 4th boxes to put units into.

[Stormwind]

Ah my first finished box!

With 4 more in the airing cupboard with the glue setting.

I want a couple of towers of these boxes on my bookshelf so as I build things I can stow them away.

[Aquahog]

Neat!
