I hope you like it. Any comments or adjustments you can think of please leave a comment.

Leviathan Mortis Complete.....well nearly

Hi Guys.
Been a while since I've posted again.  Not really had a lot of time to set up the camera.

So I've managed to get on with the 3 leviathans, and i'm now concentrating on each in turn to get them finished.

Leviathan Mortis.

Obviously the base still has a way to go but it's got to the stage that I've been working on it that long I can't see the wood for the trees. I'll need a break to paint some 28mm models and come back with fresh eyes to see what still needs doing.

The Scythe is 90% done, I'm just waiting for the wife to get home so I can steal her hairspray. I kinda left the Scythe until last and have noticed that the hydraulics would be better with the cream worn effect like the legs have.

One job that I do know needs doing is soot effects on the smoke stacks

I'll also be adding cotton wool for smoke like I have done for my first Crusader.

I've added some OSL glowing from the generator bleed offs. I think I'll add some Bronze/gold to the Power packs, I think they look a bit like batteries.

Here is a close up of the legs, I've tried to give it a dynamic pose, as if it's running to deliver the killing blow.

The way I see these chaps operating is as forward scouts, using their speed and agility to get close to larger Titans and super heavy vehicles.

I'll be using these as Knight Titans and they show their Titan allegiance on their left shoulder vanguard.

Leviathan Crusaders.

Next up we have the two Leviathan Crusaders.

Number 23 Annhilalatum, a close combat variant.

And Number 46, Justus Mors, a long range tank destroyer.

My thinking is that they display the Titan Household on their breast plate and their personal heraldry on their left arm. 

 So thats all for tonight, hope you've enjoyed the update.
Please leave any suggestions or comments on what i've missed and I'll catch you soon.

Leviathan Mortis Legs

Hi All

I haven't had a great deal of time to paint this week but I've managed to get a bit more work done on the legs of the Leviathans.

All the pistons, metal work and feet have been completed. really happy with this as it clears some space on my desk now they are assembled. It also means that I have been able to sort out the pose of the three sets of legs as well.

the Crusader legs are ay the stage where I will give them a filter to help add some shading and then I can battle damage them and add rust effects etc.

The idea being that the legs would receive the most damage as they wade through buildings and trees.

The Mortis legs are now complete (almost, I'll probably add some engine oil effects) with rust effects.

I did a bit of research and looked at old diggers to see how the hydraulic rams where effected by damage and wear and tear, surprisingly, whilst the body of the ram gets a lot of paint chipped off it the pistons, due to the constant movement and hydraulic fluid seem to stay polished.

The body has also started to have battle damage added.

so thats all for this week. I'll try and get some more done during the week and update it soon.

Regards Martin

Dark Angels Command.......Asmodai

Hi All

So the leviathan build is going well. I'm waiting for some oils to dry before I continue.
I thought I'd share with you some of my painted models.

I've always had a love for Dark Angels and over the years have amassed quite a collection.
As with most of us, as my painting has improved I look back at my early models and am not happy with them at all.

Over the past year i have been re painting my DA and adding to it.

so with out further wait I present Asmodai.

This model was Probably the worst fine cast model i've had so far. I had to pretty much rebuild the whole of his right cheek. 

Overall I'm really happy how this has turned out.

The Leviathan build continues.

So quite a productive night tonight, Hair spray has been applied and followed up by a light coat of bone white.

These are all the high wear areas so have received quite a heavy amount of chipping. 

This isn't the finished effect by a long shot. oil washes, pigments and rust effects will be added later.

Leviathan Crusader

So the first model I'd like to share with you is the excellent Leviathan Crusader from Dreamforge.
This model is fantastic to put together and I'm glad I got involved in the kick starter.

Putting it together is a real easy evolution.

Just after getting the legs together I realised what a Beast this was going to be

I went with the Gothic vents as I felt this worked best for the look I was after.

Painted up In a Grey Knight colour scheme.

Here you can see my method for achieving the latin script. I Used a micro pen to right the script in and then Painted over the top with diluted Leather brown and highlighted with Plauge brown and then sand.

These are slightly smaller than Forge world Warhounds which makes them ideal for Knight Titan Proxies.

Here you can see how the Warhound and reaver weapons measure up.
