Secret Weapon's Tablescapes, review and painting tutorial. Part 1 of 2

I have several of the FW tiles, but I honestly wanted something that was more modular.  I saw the secret weapons tiles when they started their kickstarter and almost jumped in then, but I held back and waited for reviews.  Reviews were pretty darn good and when I went to Adepticon this year and got to see the tiles in person.  I was honestly blown away with the quality at the price point.  So I started planning my table.

The 24 tiles cost me a little over 230 US with my 10% SW discount.  In total I used about 100 dollars with of paint, masking material, glue, sand and acrylic finish.  Total project was 20 hours of work.  An air brush is essential.  You could do this with spray cans, but double your time layout.

Ferrus' Hammer brings more Firepower to the Shattered Legion

The new Leviathan Dreadnought is a fun build and a great model.

Salamanders join my Shattered Legion, Painting tutorial

Like just about every model FW makes these guys were just fun to assemble and paint.  They are detailed, but detailed in a way that doesn't make them a pain to paint if you use some simple technical tricks.

So Summer is finally here

So it has been a long absence for me here.  College was rough this semester so I had to just put my nose to the grindstone and put the paint brush down temporarily.  But I am back.  Look for updates pretty regular now.  This is a Knight I knocked out last year.  This year I will be working on my Shattered Legion stuff, more Mechanicum and my new love Arena Rex.  It is a Gladiator miniature game that has some of the most incredible sculpts in the business.

Shattered Legion Project

 

So I don't build a whole lot of loyalists, mainly a traitor kinda guy, but with book six I now have the ability to build some small units from various Legions and cobble them into a playable force. Hence the next project.

Falchion finally done! Thanks to Spring Break

So it has been a long time coming but I finally got the weathering done on this beast.  Love this Super heavy.
