    I've started work on the Man-O-War Demo Corps.



    The metals are done but otherwise these guys are very WIP at the moment. I was worried about how long they would take but now that the red has a basecoat I think they'll start to come together quickly.

    And now I've finished them!



    The picture is a little bright but I think you get the idea. As I look now I'm noticing some touch ups that need to happen under their shoulder pads but otherwise I'm quite pleased with them.

    Thoughts?

    They look very nice, but I'm usually a fan of the glowing mauls. What made you decide against them, or is it the photo angle?

    Everything magical ice weapon in the army thus far has just gotten several washes of a dark blue so I went with it for consistency's sake. I think they look better glowing too so I may go back and try to do that.

    I definitely think that glowy weapons would look much more better.

    Also, a few of the metal areas seem a little flat and/or shiny (like the hand/forearms of the dude on the right, and the leader), maybe a little washing on those areas would help give them a bit more definition and grit?

    Otherwise, looking good mate =)

    PS. I found out when playing DMC that these fellas beat Ravagers.
    However, we also found out that Woldwyrds > Greylords, Pureblood > Destroyer, and Kromac > Sorscha.

    I'm glad you noticed the hands issue because I didn't know how to fix it. The problem was that I thought it might look silly if the hands were the same color as the hammer so I tried to make them different. I think the hands look terrible.

    Should I just redo the hands to match the hammer handle? For reference, the hammer is Boltgun Metal washed with Badab Black and the hands are Mithril Silver washed with Gryphonne Sepia.

    I would suggest doing a thinned down wash of black, just in the recesses.
    That would keep the metals differentiated, but give the hands some contrast...
    Which is nice.

    Prodding from _t and Tekore has resulted in icier Ice Mauls:



    I don't know is I'm happy with the execution or not but I'll agree that they look better with the blue. I forgot to wash the gloves with black but it's on my list of things to do tonight. Also on that list to make some more progress on my Widowmakers.



    The cloaks and metal bits are done. Any cloth will probably end up being a military green color and the unpainted pouches will turn into a yellowish brown. There will be some bits of red armour plates showing (elbows and shoulders mostly) but I'm trying to keep these guys looking darker since they are snipers.

    My Christmas present to myself arrived in the mail yesterday:



    Inside was (from left to right) a Koldun Lord, a Kodiak, and Greylord Ternion. The Greylords and Lord are going to round out my 500 points of Khador for ToP and the Kodiak will eventually replace the Juggernaut in my 500 point list.

    I'm also making my first ever attempt at stripping paint from mini's this weekend. I need a few more assault marines for my 1000 point ToP list and I had some god awful Ultramaries lying around from 10 years ago. I'll take some pictures and let everyone know how it ends up.

    I've had good results with the method I wrote about in this guide. Are you doing the same thing, or going with another way? Best of luck!

    @ Tekore - I've been using your guide and so far it's been working well. I gave the models a scrub after about 24 hours but tossed them back in to get some of the leftovers. Pictures in a few days about that.

    Painting wise I've finished my Widowmakers.





    I got through the first 80% of these four without any problems and then got really frustrated with all of the little details - I kept painting and painting and didn't feel like I got anything done! Overall I'm happy with them except for their faces and some areas where I rushed to finish at the end.

    I have some black spray that should hopefully be arriving in a few days so I can get working on my marines again. I have two Rhinos, a jump captain, and 6 assault marines left to finish for ToP and I think I'm going to work on the captain and Rhinos first.
