Slowly Slowy - Do the Belisarius Crawl!!

Good morrow!

Another minor update! This guy has really been sucking the life out of me I must say. It doesn't help that I realised I don't have any plasticard left so I couldn't make hay while the sun shines on his base, I had to settle for just gluing the grilled section down. I won't be adding to much to his base as there simply isn't that much damn room (go on a diet Bellysarius). 

But the glow was pop colours were the final big hurdle anyway so I was pleased to get them done on this cranky old bugger. He's nearly ready to receive his true mantle of Anacharis Scoria and go and break games and primarchs over his knee. 

On a side note, I am hoping with the advent of 8th edition and Forge World converting over to 8th that they will take the time to re-balance Scoria to a more palatable version for playing with. There a good few other things that I think need poking with 30k and 8th but that is a post for another time my friends. 

Peace out,

Belisarius Cawl - Progress Cawling Along

Hey gang,

Belisarius Cawl is one of those models where you feel like you have spent ages adding neat little touches to it and yet you don't appear to have made any progress!! That said, the pictures below are very nearly complete. The book at his feet needs a few more highlights and the skin needs a few pallid touch ups. Mostly though I need to add some blue OSL to the many generator aspects on his carapace hide which will tie him into the scheme with the rest of my Mechanicum very nicely. 

Before I can do that though I need to bring all the other gubbins up to scratch and glue them on, otherwise I might have to find myself adding glow to a single piece at once or worse, find that I've added glow where there should be shadow!

Peace out,

Rob

Belisarius Cawl - WIP

Hey gang,

In between working on the First Legion I've been slowly adding layers to my final Mechanicum model (for now). I've got most of Cawl built now, though there are quite a few bits still on the sprue as they are pretty much single piece add on parts and I'd rather not lose them! The two main arm are built but still lying in grey plastic as I want to get the base model painted and ready to go so I can just paint all the smaller fiddly parts in one go. 

Not much of an update, but here you go!

The yellow is pretty much finished, I just need to add some extra shading and wash to some areas. The black armour is also close to completion, but needs a little bit of stippling with a silver to give it some wear and tear. Everything else is just in the under coat or base coat stages, so lots to do!

Peace out,

Rob

Belisarius Cawl - Sub-Assembly Part 1

Hey gang,

So the final miniature I have in my possession to round off my current Mechanicum force is the Belisarius Cawl miniature (very kindly gifted to me by Mike from StandWargaming!!). I'm going to be using this suitably impressive model to represent Anacharis Scoria when I want to play cheesy games (because he is soooooo broken). Much like the Avatar of Ynnead, Cawl is a highly intricate model and as such I have begun putting him into sub-assemblies. 

I've not had much hobby time today, but I've had time to put the first half together, and here it is:

Unlike the rest of the Mechanicum, cawl is going to have yellow robes instead of his armour. The armour plates will be a matt metallic black. The trims will variably be dirty silver and brass. That's all for today folks!

Peace out,

Rob
