update,blood drips from the heavens

as promised i have some new pictures of my drop pod.
i think i shall call it a blood drip, seeing as it will be dropping in the blood angels, not figured out what, more than likely a dreadnought into the battle.

i have painted the inside of the drop pod doors  Deneb stone, well i think that's the colour, i forgot already, did i mention i have a memory of a fish.

chaos black and bright yellow for the hazard markings around the hatches.

the fins are in bolt gun silver at present and i painted the bottom of the drop pod chaos black with a mix of bolt gun silver which gave it a nice colour/touch.

no fine details or washes have been done yet, this is still to come, i need another coating on the doors and the bolt gun silver first.


more updates to come, happy reading and have a good Easter break.

Blood Angels are coming

new mix of red in the beginning,

the Drop Pod

getting back into games workshop painting after many moons passing, I originally thought id do ultra marines, but they seem so bog standard, friends of mine are either Tau, orks, necrons, dark angels, chaos marines tryanids, elder and most of those are from one person,so with help from a Friend who gave me some models I caught the blood thirst, especially after seeing the new codex.

after breaking the thirst, i  started on the vehicles and dreadnoughts, I have started with using a different model spray to coat them all a lovely red .as you should notice in the drop pod picture there is a bright red and then my mix of paint is the darker deep red which my army shall all become. the spray i used is Loxley colour spray Fireball re. did nice job, came out same colour as the space hulk terminator plastic colour.
the mix I'm using is a watered down blood red and dark flesh 1:1. taking about two coats so far but may need a third will let you know how I go.
 

 
 
pictures added to show you the fireball red and my 1:1 mix is my razorback and my vindicator.
eventually all the army will be the same shade as the vindicator but with more fine details, more Pict's to follow.

  
at the moment i am working on the drop pod, all my vehicles don't show in my first army but i thought practice painting on the vehicles safer than on the figures.
