After looking at the new minis some more, I've decided to paint any of the Blackmane wolfs head icons (like the one on the GH's left knee) red; this is to signify honor to the days of the Great Crusade. When the chapter badge was a red wolfs head.
Since I use the Night Runner badge for my GC I needed figure out a way to have it make sense to have the badge of another company on my troops.
Odd question, do you paint the inside of the vehicle? Curious of how common it is :) Also I look forward to the wolves heads and all, sounds like it can get really nice and personal.
ReplyDeleteNot an odd question really, but no I do not. I figure these are gaming models not show pieces. Besides i paint slow enough with out painting silly interiors that will hardly ever be seen.
ReplyDeleteThe side doors will feature the Night Runner badge. On one side the front plate will have a Blackmane head painted red to honor the time of Russ.
Mm-hmm.
ReplyDeleteYou paint slow. :D
I hardly think so Jim, I hardly think so. :)
Nice start on the Razorback; I like the Big-Jim pattern extra frontal armour. What squad is this Razorback going to be carrying?
It'll be carrying the Grey Hunters, I'm slowly pluggin' along on.
ReplyDeleteI paint slow because I get distracted easily with conversions and other painting projects.
I actually paint the insides of my Razorbacks (well I've painted one, and have ordered a second). Didn't take long at all as it was just boltgun + badab black and fenris grey on the rest, plus some green and red on buttons and screens and such. Black for the boltgun. I thought, I will open the hatch in the back when playing, so I can just as well make it look better than plastic or primed.
ReplyDeleteThe huge irony is that since yellow painting is quite hard for such a beginner as myself, the inside looks better than the outside :)
I very much look forward to seeing the end result of your Razorbacks. The mods should make them look really nice even if they are "gaming models" :) The extra physical detail more than makes up for lack of silly amounts of layering and such.
