Walking the long path..

 This weekend I got a little time in to play around with the new bashed up ideas for my Dusk Wolves. I liked the way my Wolves were looking but I wanted to up the game a bit. I went really grimy with them and that looked cool (to me at least) but I thought the paint should show wear as well .. I didn't do any chipping or anything. So now I'm going to add that in there.

 Since cermite doesn't rust I figured it would chip to what is below. I'm in debate on how I want to handle the base color. My Dusk Wolves are suppose to be what's left of the loyal legionaries from the traitor Legions. So the armor they have will either be from their old legions repainted or bits and pieces they have picked up. That in theory could look cool but it might really through off the look if the chips are random colors. I'll play around with this to see what I really like..

 So far it's been the base layer blend .. the white top coat chipped. The only other addition is the red right arm. I did all the chipping then moved on to some grim.

 This is the light grim and I'll be adding in some heavy grim after I actually get some other colors on there. I wanted to get a rough idea of what it looked like before I started getting deep into the grim process. So far I think it's looking pretty cool though 8)

The sad part about going farther is that they will now all stand out from the rest of their brothers haha.. but the nice part is they will look better. If I would only paint a scheme and keep it so I don't have to repaint a ton of old dudes 8)

Take the high ground

 A little more work on the Gantry System. The Tournament is this weekend so I've pretty much had to work on this full bore.. After this weekend I can get back to painting some actual models. But I've been working on some more weathering which is cool. I was playing around with the amount of grime and age and it was pretty fun ..  I'm also pretty happy with the look and how they came out for the time spent.

The intersection support allows you to connect from one to four sections. If you don't use a section there is a railing guard piece that can be put in place so it's not just a drop off. You don't have to use them but it looks cooler 8)

 Some of the pics don't have the guards .. showing the with and without. And they also can be used on the standard section to end it.Building it was also kind of fun haha.. but that might just be me 8)

 I'll be adding a set of shorter supports and other pieces to connect to, this is just the beginning! 8)

 I haven't gotten to paint the Towers full so right now they are just gunmetal.. I have four towers to finish by Saturday morning. sheesh ..  haha a ton to get done.

Once I get the towers painted I'll be adding the Gantry System to our website. There are a few things I've noticed from putting them together that I'll be adding. Getting these all together was cool to fully test them..  They are little rough build as I built so many so fast and the painting isn't as nice as I'd like but they look decent 8)

Raise the Tower

 I've been super busy working on laser cutting stuff. This is the newest addition to the Gantry system, I wanted a T Intersection support. It works the same way the Tower does..  you have 1 .. 2... 3.. 4.. or even none. The guards are at the top of support are are removable. It's a way to mix it up if you don't want another tower ..

 We are sponsoring a local gaming Tournament this Saturday and we wanted to get some of our terrain out there and on the table. If they are going to be used I wanted them to be painted and at least look decent. So far I've only gotten these two pieces painted..  I think they look ok but nothing too insane.

DreadTober has finished and it was a pretty big success.. I've been super busy but I'm trying to get to all the blogs and check them out. There has been so much good stuff out there ...  a lot of people finished up in October and that is awesome but if you didn't get it all finished up no biggy ..  I've posted it on a few sites but DreadTober was about everyone getting together and having some fun. It provided motivation .. it provided people with reasons to get to that model they have been wanting to paint ..  it's sparked a lot of conversation with new friends ...  to everyone who participated, thanks for joining in!!!!! and awesome work..

This weekend was Halloween...  my daughter didn't want to wear her wig so I put it on to try to get her to wear it.. it didn't work .. so ..  behold..   I'm now the new lead singer for the band Love Hammer! .. enjoy  8)
