redscorps Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Hi! I have been painting 40k for about 2 years now and after taking a long break off and selling all my stuff I have started to rejoin the world of wargaming and hobby again with this fine game. I played it a little while back and was blown away by the sheer awesomeness of the game mechanic and I really like the miniatures. I had Pandora and Justice starters ready to go and have decided to try my hand at painting up the Pandora crew first to see how it goes. Damn the minis are small and thin, there's tonnes of detail in there at a level I am not used to painting, lots of blending as well which is not really my strong suit. The good thing about metal at least is I can strip them back easily and start again if I feel like I have made too much of a mess of the paint jobs. I started with the Sorrows first, I wanted to mix up the colours a bit from the box art and have gone with a variety. Then there's the Primordial Magic, I wanted it to look like it was going from the jar and becoming more of a physical thing the higher up it got to the point where it's taken a bite out of some unlucky peon. Next up will be Pandora herself and the two kids. I have taken a fairly lazy approach to basing them, using the counters from the Terraclips sets as an insert and gluing them on top. Suits the board at least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redscorps Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Thanks dudes, should have the rest of the crew done tomorrow afternoon when I get home. Appreciate the feedback guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 A very interesting idea with the bases, haven't seen any done this way before but I have to admit it does work really well. And the painting looks very nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redscorps Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Thanks Viruk, going for a nice fast tabletop quality with them and I figured the base/token idea suits the board well enough and looks good for what I am going for. Finished the kids tonight, to be honest I could be a bit happier but they are TINY and this is my first time painting anything not a space marine. Quick and dirty pic, will try get to doing PAndora tomorrow night and then I will have the whole crew done in 3 evenings. Edit: ^ Have to finish up the base rims on the kids.

Balefirestorm Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Really like the look of this crew. Nice choice of colors for the Sorrows. The looks creepy. And the Primordeal magic actually looks sickening. Impressed by the sickly and pallid flesh. very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 It's quite amazing how quickly you've put up this great looking crew, incredibly fast but at the same time really nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonasty Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Love the crew. All the models are excellent and I think the terraclips inserts as basing is inspired. Makes me want to get my Pandora box painted up finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
