joining my HWK-290 to the rebelion

Ok I must admit it, I'm not that big fan of the HWK-290 from Xwing Miniatures game, but a few days ago I saw the mini repaint from Stephen Donn
  and I knew I had to have one, so I grabbed my deneb stone some abbadon black was and my trusty old "blood red" color and I painted mine  here it is, I love it how it looks now:

for my method I didnt tripped the paint of the mini as I got into X-wing to play minis not to paint them not that I dont like to paint I love it but X-wing to me is about opening and playing, so I just painted the bened stone ober the old dolor as thin as possible, after all taking shorcuts is not the same as obscuring detail, after that I just applied  some black wash here and there to rise details and with red I painted over the original strips, it looks great simply great, after that I drybrushed some blue hues to get the engine effect, but if I get to work my aribrush I might retouch it.

Relic Knight Prismatics Cordelia and Melial

Ok today I took the prismatic ladies out for a walk, they look great together.

Sadly the face on Cordelia is not as good posed as in Melial, I think a helmeted head would have fitted her more.

Of the two the Void one is far better sculpt to my tastes, not that I dislike Cordelia, but...

More of my Black Diamonds

To keep with the progress on my Relic Knights.


my troops, it barely shows but they have squad marks on the shoulders and now I plan to have a symbol

 missing form the one shot post was Fritz but here is

 My M8 chee.

 My Black Dragons, first time I encouraged me to paint the black diamond symbol

Next my Darkspace iron chef

and finally my PC9 Breaker team.

 

As for how I managed to paint the Black Diamond symbol I drew a full tilted square with a light grey and proceeded to draw a cross with base color lines  after that I painted a circle on the center  and a smaller circle with the light circle to finish the symbol.

for the moment I  only have the suspect 7 minis to paint but I have her/them mostly so soon I will post more pics.

Some touching ups on my Xwing ships

I have been doing small touch ups here and there on my ships, mostly to make them more personal, the most recent batch is my Z-95 squadron, so here they are:

the first one I painted was done for a friend that wanted that schema but the transaction never managed to complete

 Next I just weathered my second z-95

Incomming Void Herald

Hi, Yesterday I decided to paint my Void Herald, I like how I looks, specially because is the first time I dont decor the base were I place a model,  I only barely painted it.

Lest see how it looks

What I have done Black Diamond so far part 1

Hi, I been retouching a bit of my Black Diamonds, Im pretty happy with what I have but I still need or can do some touching ups like Squad Markings on my minions.

lets see how they look, starting with my Knigths and the model I like the most from that faction the DiamonBack:

My Relic Knight Magnus

OK after a long time hiatus, I decided to paint my long forgotten Magnus, I decided for a black priming, then dry brushed some metal colors> Boltgun Metal, Chain Mail Metal and Mitrhril Silver, after that I just washed everything with leviathan purple and picked details with Baltasar gold, and the cape I did Mechrite Red dry brushed with blood red to finish I dry brushed some Necron abyss, Mordian blue, enchanted blue, ice blue and skull white for the energy gems.

for Static I simple painted warlock purple and washed with leviathan purple, plus two dots of sunburst yellow.


on the bases I painted with some metal colors then Adeptus battle grey on the rest of the base all of that washed with Devlan mud.


I like how they look.

lets hope they see play time soon.

UPDATE, more Pictures:

X-wing: Rebel fleet review

my love for Xwing is always growing on my, so today I decided to have a quick chek on my models, to see how the look Type by Type.

of Relic Knigths and other stuff.

I have been painting and modeling some stuff I had laying around there.
I will begin with my Relic Knights Academy Guard, for those I opted for a non-non-metalic-metal., and I included the extra non because I'm not good with that technique.

Then I finally assembled a couple of War machines models, Alastair Cane and the female Jorneyman caster

 and finally a special project for a friend a pair of pixies and a bard, the bard is missing a drum and a violin that will be painted and glued after each of them is painted.

I hope my friend likes it.

Until next time when I probably will start painting my Star Nebula Corsairs, so far I think I paintef all of my models for Doctrine.

Relic Knights my DiamondBack

I finaly worked on the Diamonback, a really masive model, I still need to work on the Noh, but I guess that faction will be sold to allow the rest to remain at home.
but  enough of it, better go to the stellar boy.

I began with a black undercoat and followed by mixin Adeptus battle grey with abbadon black to have a darker grey,

 Next some highlights on Codex Grey and it looked a lot better.

 Next I began detailing,  A drybrush of Ice Blue and Skull White that did the power weapon right

 A bit of detail and a alert on flash that I corrected on the go

 some metal details

 and the base

 more power

 a bit lighting

 and a bit of purple detail to help define it to the faction plus head optics.

Finally after taking the last picture  I built a little board and staged an scen with some minis I have done plus others that are on progress, what do you think?

 Sadly one soldier dropped to the floor and Im with a headless model

 

Here is all for today, let me see how can guess what models are WIP and what are to be considered Done.

Until next time.
