Redscorps aka Bad Credentials - Painting and Modelling

I did a bit of terrain painting today which was kinda fun! It was the simple MAS District 5 Objective Room, something we will need for gaming in the near future (As I get more of a handle on playing again and we start with the ITS missions). I didn't do the most time consuming job on it but I am still pretty chuffed with the results. A couple of weeks back I gave the 4x4 Moto.Tronica table to my friend Dan who hosts our fortnightly gaming night, and ordered 4x sets of the new Hephaestus card stock terrain to match my Aleph dudes. The objective room was painted up to be a similar aesthetic to the containers included in the pack with a Blue/Black fade and bold line highlighting on these areas. The grey has a diagonal fade between light and a darker shade across the panels and I will paint in some of the floor detail with a brush to match the Hephaestus game mat aesthetic (purple text etc). The design on this one is not quite as good as the Moto.Tronica set, some of the layers appea...

Howdy, Still a bit burnt out on painting bugs for a little bit so I have continued the expedition into painting the Steel Phalanx boxed set I have been sitting on since it's release. I got Eudoros, the converted Prambot and the Thorakitai with LML all finished up today and am pretty happy with how the mostly wash painting over base coat is coming along. What I'm not stoked on is the basing, I love the bases dont get me wrong, but I think I want to follow the trend and get them on some hi-tech looking discs that match the aesthetic and save these completed bases for something a bit more primitive like Ariadna. Having the stepped base did give me the chance to remove the 'tactical rock' under Eudoros foot, win! Of what I did the base coat on, I have one Netrod and the other two Thorakitai to go from the starter, then I want to get some games in for the first time in N3 (I haven't actually played since before Paradiso was released), before adding some cool stuff li...

I haven't made a lot of progress on the Tyranids over the last couple of weeks, I've had a bit of a lack of motivation after pushing to finish a bunch of Termagants and I've gotten stuck on the Hive guard for now so I have decided to take a break and finally paint some Infinity models that I have been sitting on since they were released.  These were pretty easy paint jobs, I primed them black, did a tan/bone zenithal base coat, hit them with some boltgun metal to break up the white before finishing the models with 5 different washes and doing some pure white highlights..These three were about 5 hours total, which is a really short timeframe for me. Particularly nice as I've messed up my dominant hand in a scrap the other week so I'm struggling with holding the brush at the moment. The struggle is real, yikes! Should have the other four guys finished soon for my 150pt list so I can get playing again. I love the 40k universe but the game of Infinity is next l...
