We's got a 30 pack of Clanrats (90 more to go...), a poisoned wind mortar team, a warlock engineer and a chieftan/BSB who's banner is still a bit of wip. There's some plague monk wip lurking in the shadows of the background too.

Also realizing I gotta get in there and paint some rat eyes at some point.

The results so far have been pretty encouraging having never painted anything other than Space Marines up until this point, Devlan mud is a godsend and I quake in fear when the last of that bottle is gone and I finally switch the the new formula. As The clanrats are much more dulled in person, by the nature of the LED light and my iphone it makes colours a bit more vibrant than they have any right to be

They look great! I like all the different colours you used on the clanrats, very cool!
Nice clean paintjobs too, and the BSB is very impressive. :D

Thanks!

I felt there would be a lot of mixed materials scavenged from a lot of disparate sources. With the exception of the occasional guys who are wearing a single piece of fabric the colours are pretty mixed on each model. I pretty much stick with a couple foundation paints and just do it in assembly line fashion. Ivander Darksun for yellow, Mechrite Red, Dheneb Stone, Astronomicon Grey and Adeptus Battlegrey and that's it. Than wash the entire model it to hell and back with Devlan, including all metal bits.

I picked up some Krylon fusion spray that I base coat everything in and that cuts down on sooooo much time by providing a base that's almost identical to Graveyard Earth* I can use for the skin and random brown bits here and there.

And the assembly line trudges on.



* I obviously haven't fully switched to the new paint range yet.

Nice work, really like your PWM and WE, the cloak/metal highlights and globes are nicely done. I get the ragtag theme for your clanrats but I think if you integrated a similar colour scheme/ style as your PWM for your next unit you might improve the overall look whilst still keeping that ragtag feel?

Also, any chance you could put the images directly into the post for easier viewing? (photobucket or something similar is an easy way to do it)

I hadn't really thought that far, but that's a great idea. Easy to transfer over to the Warpfire Throwers as well.

Too bad they're duller irl, I dig the vibrant colors! Your pictures are surprisingly good for such a busy background too! And great job on the skin :).

Wow these are great! I love the way you have done the weapons! Could you show some pics step by step how to do them? They are extremely clean!

The BSB's banner needs some more work it's a bit uhmmm lumpy?

Gonna follow this closely, you should definately enter the competitions here.
