A small blog to share pictures and comments with my mentors and benefactors, showing them my progress in assembling and painting my armies for table top miniature games. The mighty armies of the Empire of Khador in Warmachine and the vast legions of the Imperial Guard in Warhammer 40K.
Yesterday I finished assembly of my Shadowsword Super Heavy Tank. I added a normal Leman Russ and some infantry for good measure... and you can only be amazed at the size of this monster.
Time to to come up with a colour scheme and get the airbrush out...
Master Griffit.... this feels like the Emperor himself walking into my humble workshop. I'm honoured to see that my feeble attempts have caught your eye. Being a WWII geek I had first considered a German 3-tone camo scheme of redbrown, dark yellow and dark green. Lately however I have been considering a 2-tone grey scheme. Will practice my rusty airbrush skills on the Leman Russ to try it out.....
Add a tone of red to that grey and you've convinced me ;o)
serious, the grey is a great idea, but you need a spot colour; in the 41st millenium it's not all about cammo. Red and Yellow work well but there are a lot op possibility's. if im not mistaken I have a WD with some examples for IG. I'll check, just give me a call if you want them
Red-grey... sounds interesting enough. I was thinking along the lines of dark-grey and light-grey. Maybe even adding black and going for an alternate version of the three-tone NATO scheme. Can't call u since i don't have your number, but the WD schemes surely interest me. Maybe they can open my eyes for red and yellow on grey... I will most certainly pop in at Oberonn this week... maybe meet up there?
This is getting silly :) send me a mail guido.kreemers at gmail and I'll give you some of the works :) http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/images/f/f0/Lemanrusspicture.JPG cheerz griffit
