I've changed my list once again. But will save that for now. Been building Necrons all day for the Battleforce challenge at my store!
All the warriors are assembled, just need some Greenstuff on the legs. Both Heavy Destroyers are done. The Lord on foot is WIP, awaiting his Orb and Cloak. Finally I've got the Immortals half built, their guns just need converting up, then after that just the Flayed ones need whacking together.

Here's some pics!

They're looking fantastic. I see your getting to enjoy the whole modelling of bases now.

I've managed to SQUEEZE three wraiths out of my battleforce using torsos and some bendy wire

Nice going really looking forward to see them with paint and more limbs on.

Well everything from the battleforce is now built, some things still need some work. Mainly greenstuff though, plus three immortals need their guns.

So, from my £50 battleforce, I've built:

Lord on Foot
Lord on Destroyer
6 Flayed Ones
6 Immortals
12 Warriors
10 scarab swarms
3 Wraiths
2 Heavy Destroyers

Using only what's in the box and hobby materials

All tooled up they come toooo: 1315pts

Have you been using plastic putty on the bases?

Dezartfox · « **Reply #48 on:** February 01, 2010, 09:47:15 pm »

I found its good if you put glue down, then plop some of the putty on, it makes the putty harden quicker so good for holding pieces that I can't be bothered to hold

I also used it on Sammys speeder to hold down the pieces of terrain, the black bases are a nightmare for glue.. nothing sticks to them..

That's impressive work to squeeze all that out of the 1 box!

Cheers.

Was black.
Drybrush scorpion green

you said fabulous

krom_stormbrow · « **Reply #52 on:** February 02, 2010, 02:17:51 pm »

Sounds ass to me

Mart007 · « **Reply #53 on:** February 02, 2010, 04:25:48 pm »

lol, I meant he said the word fabulous... LMAO

I'd be interested in the result of this as i could think of a few ways to use that technique...

Dezartfox · « **Reply #54 on:** February 02, 2010, 04:33:11 pm »

Well its looking good so far,
That pot of black dipping stuff me and pod bought isn't as wonderful as I'd hoped, it tends to dry clumpy instead of flat like badab does.
So I'll be going back to using badab for them

krom_stormbrow · « **Reply #55 on:** February 02, 2010, 05:12:15 pm »

How are you applying it?

Heero · « **Reply #56 on:** February 02, 2010, 05:21:46 pm »

Hope you are not actually dipping it.

I use brush to apply. :P

Dezartfox · « **Reply #57 on:** February 02, 2010, 06:07:18 pm »

With a brush.. But where badad black pools and then evaporates/dries flat, this stuff dries 3d if it pools, I did apply it a little thick, no thicker than how I apply badab though. Will test some more

Dezartfox · « **Reply #58 on:** February 02, 2010, 08:33:33 pm »

First test:

Dont think I'm happy.. needs more colour I feel.

Mart007 · « **Reply #59 on:** February 02, 2010, 08:42:04 pm »

thats is cool, and I bet it didnt take that long bar waiting for washes to dry!
