[WM] Stormwind Rails Against the Lead Mountain

[Jono]

Hi, a nooby question..

You mention Matt Varnish earlier. I've tried the GW matt varnish spray and found it dulled the colours slightly, particularly metallics. I was wondering what varnish you used?

Your miniatures look great by the way and neat box. See you have access to a laser cutter.

It's a fair question to ask!  I use this Vallejo Matt Varnish:

It has a slight colour so you know to dilute it with water until the colour is much less noticeable and not to let it pool in recesses.  I normally do 2 coats on my models but maybe I should do more. AFTER that has dried I then glue static grass on.

As for the laser cutter, no ha ha, that's from these guys!

Thanks for the tip.

Not a great pic but I am trying to get a head of steam to finish 2000 points by the end of the month.  First infantry unit more than half painted. 

Just painting the rear strips on a lollipop stick separately before sticking them on!

They look good. Did you laser cut those boxes yourself? Also, you should rename your thread to "Stormwind Rallies Against the Lead Mountain".

[Stormwind]

Finished these Friday night!

Onto Knights now.

Good Job. Hey, we are both trying to finish the same army 

[Aldhick]

Cool, I expecially dig the way you painted the armor!

It's rare for me to praise a GW product but this verdigris stuff is what I'm using.  Saves me making a glaze using turquoise.

Here's my first half of a Chaos Knights unit, just got to paint it's companions now.

And now, finally polished off this unit of Giant eagles painted up to imitate Stellar's Sea Eagle since my Elves are meant to be coastal defenders. =)

Great job on the eagles!

[Blindhorizon]

Fantastic!

[Stormwind]

2nd base stands of Chaos Knights done, just need to finish off the strips stuck to lollipop sticks. =)

Fantastic paint job, amazing detail.  Have to remind myself I'm not looking at pictures of 28mm figures!

[Stormwind]

2 units of Chaos Knights completed!

Probably going to paint another unit of Chaos Warriors - then I will really need to paint some normal Marauders to make the painted army legal.
