e for EPIC

so iv bin running ethag for quite sometime now and hes awesome at beating face but iv decided to go down the opposite route for my 2nd list so iv decided on running elylyth as a tier list so the core of the list wille be

elylyth
ravagore
ravagore
stinger
stinger
stinger
stinger

units
nyss striders
ua
nyss striders
ua
nyss striders
death stalker
death stalker
death stalker

how the list will work
iv come to love shredders for either blocking charge lanes and forcing the opponent to walk round or take out the shredder so iv decided that the stingers will do the same job with elylyth having stealth on her battle group they should stay awhile lol

the next part are the ravagores the bread and butter of this list elylyth casts pin cushion on the enemy caster then feats then the ravagores will double shot with a power 15 aoe3 that causes corrosion that's usually enough to take out a caster

the units will provide blocks like the shredders while the combine range attack to take down larger targets or mass fire on smaller targets they also have stealth and advance deploy to get out infront early

the death stalkers are their purely for high arm 1 box models auto wound fire agen so those 3 should theoretically kill 6 of the buggers or put 6 wounds on a larger model

iv proxied n tried the doule ravagore and this part of the list works lovely jus need to try out the rest

the archangel everblights finest creation!!

my archangel arrived yesterday I spent a gd 2 hours just putting this model to gether  and a further hour near enough green stuffing the gaps. to give people and idea of how big he is  the wingspan is 11" and from base to highest point he stands 10" tall

although archie is mainly resin and plastic with some metal parts their were plenty of gaps which is still my main bug bear with privateer press models.  Im gunna use the excess were iv green stuffed as battle damage/scars

so on to the model  here he is before prime and extra green stuffing and green stuffed and primed ready for washing :D

the next set is me building up the skin  my usual technique has been to  use 1-2 washes for lesser to create a light pink  3 ish for light beasts  to create a medium and 4-5 ish for heavy beasts so im going to build up and compare then stop as soon as the colour is deeper
first pic is the first coat

 

this next pic is coat number 4 compared to a normal heavy warbeast

and by him self

not great pics coz its sunny but u can see how deep the purple has gone :D  next I re painted all the areas that are white and painted the mouth and tongue red

 next is the armour again I want get this to a deep black

now im painting up the claws with brown and the teeth is coming along nicely rough estimate of time bout 8 hours

the next part will be to do the base for this I have decided to do the main column grey with a wash of nuln oil  the floor will be steel legion drab and bones karak stone

 this is the base before washing

now the stone has been done with a patchy semi marbled effect the final thing to do is wash the base and tower

the pillar has now been washed and the model has been finished

finished model!!
