Khador Man-O- War Demolition Corps Pt5

Ok, so, finally a bit of colour on these guys now. I picked out some of the armor panels with white before giving them a coat of VMA Scarlett Red. This has created nice shading on the model already and areas that would be hit by the most light have a much brighter shade of red. Next up for these guys will be highlighting, then a red glaze. Then it will be on to the detail work. I'm also working on assembling a few Khador jacks and a few Cryx models i have picked up over the last week.

Firstly I mounted these guys up on some cork to make it a bit easier to handle them while painting. Then I gave them a coat of black primer, and although i was originally going to prime them with white from above, I thought i would try giving them a coat of Vallejo Model Air Hull Red first as i didn't want the shadows in the recesses to have too much of a stark contrast with the highlight. Next up i will be picking out some highlights in white then giving them a nice red coat which should leave them with some nice shading in the recesses.

Other than these guys I am also working on repainting and basing my Cryx force. I have only been doing mundane things like paint stripping models but I have started working on the bases. They are pretty simple to do, just some modelling putty, a bit of sand then painted up. Still a work in progress but hopefully they will turn out pretty good.

Ok, so a bit of an update. I'm currently in the middle of moving house so updates are going to be a bit sporadic over the next month or so, but i have managed to get a bit of work done on these guys. I've tidied  up and assembled them and they are going to get primed today ready for painting. I'm going to coat them with Vallejo polyurethane primer, firstly in black, then secondly in white, just from above, hitting all the armor plates where the light would hit. This will give me a good base to work from when i give them a coat of red as i will have some nicely defined shadows already.

I have numerous projects in various stages of completion, so the idea with this Khador project was to buy one unit at a time and not buy anything else till it was completed.... I think that was a bit of a pipe dream as i couldn't resist and have already bought a few other things! I thought it made sense to pick up the Warmachine starter set. It will be handy to have the small rulebook and the amount of models you get in this set is amazing value for money. The Khador part of the set i will be cracking on with straight away, and the Menoth i will be putting to one side with the rest of the Menoth stuff i have (For the time being).  That's about all for now, next post should see a bit of color on these guys!
