Moving right along! I finished my three Meganobz for my LVO list. I am running four, but I have my old Kromlech Juggernaut that I can use without having to repaint an old metal MANz.
Plenty left for me to do, but I am pleased with my rate of progress. We'll see how that holds up when I start the next Tankbusta squad. Check out some pics!

Standard load out of a Power Klaw and twin-linked shoota for MAN #1.
I might add a bit of flock to the base to break it up a little. I have some small shrubs that look nice on the cracked earth. I used a few different shades of blue on all the MANz, since I feel that Orks would just use whatever was laying around. However, I am loving the Mephiston Red and I use it a lot on the contrasting details.

Boss Meganob has two killsaws ready to chop open any tank on the battlefield. I always do my Space Marine details as Blood Angels as a poke at my friend Big M, who got me into the hobby.
I like the way the wires turned out on the back.

These new plastic Meganobs are a huge upgrade over the metal ones. Great details. Next on the list is another Trukk. I also have Mad Dok Grotsnik in the works. More posts incoming! Thanks for checking it out. Feel free to comment and if you like what you see, give me a follow.
I'm loving the Mephiston Red on my Dark Angels as well, just as a spot colour. I see what you mean about breaking up the bases with some flock/foliage; I would usually be the first to suggest that. With these guys, I just don't know. The cracked effect already seems to break it up a bit and paint jobs are great. Would keeping it simple be better this time?
ReplyDeleteI keep getting the advice to leave the bases alone, so I will leave the bases alone :) Thanks for checking it out!
DeleteI would try out something on the base Mek, years ago I did a Vraks army & went with mud style bases that just looked flat, a little sprinkling of green flock here & there just seemed to make the model pop, but it your doing it just keep it to a little dab here & there.
ReplyDeleteOh no! Now I'm having doubts about the bases again! Lol. I was thinking something similar, but the Internetz might have talked me out of it. Maybe I'll just add it to one of them... Like a small bush or weed...
DeleteNice paint job, good looking orks with the blue armour!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jaime. I really appreciate you stopping by the blog.
DeleteNice to see a Green Stamp of approval. In the base debate perhaps flock is too much? Perhaps some withered dead sticks? That way you're adding something else to the base so it isn;t just cracked earth but not something artificial like grass. Some dead twigs in either a paler or darker brown would add something without drawing too much attention away from the model.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea, Dave! I'll probably try it out without glue first. Thanks for the comment. :)
