The panels lines have been inked with purple ink actually.  It shows up pretty well in person.  The canopy was simply sprayed blue from behind (mask the front with tape) and then the canopy shell is painted by hand.  Keeps the shiny look of the plastic without the cloudy/thick plastic look.

Now that I look closer I do see the panel line inking. Probably the photo just doesn't do it justice.

Thanks for the tip about the canopy, I'll have to try it the next time I build something like this.

And...more guardians.


I wanted more guardians, and I'll have enough to field an almost all-guardian force if I ever wanted to, or if a story/narrative required it.


I used the lasgun guardians I had on hand to make up some flamers


And some meltaguns...

I'm not overly happy with the special weapons but I wanted them easily identifiable from the basic troops so my opponents wouldn't be caught unawares.

Looks good. I like the flamer conversion and you can easily identify the special weapons. Are planning on adding wraith guard?

Oh hells yes.  Short of Exodites/Harlequins/Phoenix Lords I should have everything in the codex at some point in the future.  Maaay not do shining spears also.

And the Guardian host is done (excluding future jetbike riders, more weapon crews etc.).  Finished up the leaders and NCO's etc.  I'm a little pissed off as I was really looking forward to these guys and my dip was a bit wonky...didn't work out that well.  Oh well, hopefully not many more white models to dip!  I can move on.



And the squads assembled...

I've just come across this thread and can I just say, Wow!

You've done a great job of 'salvaging' those figures.

Great paint!

Keep up the good work.

And here is the "warhost in progress" picture for Jim.

The force overall is perhaps 40-50% complete.

Link broken.

The Banshees look great. The last aspects to paint are Swooping Hawks and Warp Spiders right? Your army is getting to be quite large.

Yep...Warp Spiders, Hawks, some more Fire Dragons I have laying around.  Then bikes, vypers, a tank or two, some wraithguard, a dreadnought...then some Exarchs, an Avatar, and eventually I'm going to pick up a Wraithknight to use with the old "Towering Destroyer Knight" rules from Armorcast.

Oh, and maybe a few other support weapons (and some extra scouts I have laying around).  So the force has a way to go.
