Michka's 40K stuff... (Genestealer Cult Goliath added 7/3/17)

Here's the Crane from the Galvanic Servo-Hauler set.



This took way longer to paint then it should have. Mostly because I started with a white primer instead of the Averland Sunset spray that GW sells. I haven't bought any of the GW sprays yet, but that one is on my list. I love this color. Such a stupid name for Industrial Yellow-Orange.

And here's my favorite thing about the set. The carrier also fits the Armored Munitorium containers.


I really like this set. No idea when I'll finish off the two tractors. Probably after I find some Averland Sunset spray paint.

Excellent colour choice and really nicely painted. I'm gutted I didn't pick up a set immediately as it looks like these might not come back into stock any time soon.

[Elbows]

Yeah, excellent job on those.  I've never been enamoured with any of GW's terrain, but the crane/hauler set is something I may actually pick up.

[Michka]

Thank you Axiom and Elbows. Averland Sunset is my new favorite color. Still not a fan of GW base paints, but the colors are lovely.

I figured out another trick to this set after assembling the two tractors. It looks like the crane's engine piece can replace the body of one of the tractor. The attachment points on the side of the engine match the treads from the smaller tractor. Now I need another set just to get a third tractor style.

that is some fine looking terrain Michka  !  The drab colours and weathering sell the location as abandoned and derelict.  I'd like to send my miniatures there but wouldn't want to make the trip myself .

[Vanvlak]

That came out splendidly. I hadn't realised the container fits the trailer, that's the sort of clever design work I like in models. Nice work with the yellow

Great thread

The recent GW terrain is really good and that paintjob really brings it out. Lovely.
Looking forward to that new objectives set.

[Michka]

Thank you Horridperson. (Now there's a sentence you don't write every day.) I really like to make terrain dull so the miniatures stand out. The Crane and construction pieces don't really fit that thinking, but it just looks right.

Thank you Vanvlak. I saw the trailer thing in a tiny blurb in the recent White Dwarf.

Thank you Mr. Bibbles. How's the Star Wars project coming along?

Thank you Wachaza. I just found out about the Objectives yesterday. Now I need them! Need them bad!

[Ultravanillasmurf]

The colour is perfect, they look really good.

[Mason]

Seeing your version of the crane just emphasises that I really MUST have a set of these things sooner or later.
Great paintjob on the beastie.

Well, after much hair pulling and eye gouging (Thanks Photobucket), I've set up a photo hosting account on Flickr. And for my inaugural post, I bring you a Galvanic Servo-Hauler Tractor.





I think these look so much better after you scrap the skulls out of the wheel hubs.

[horridperson]

The brown weathering/grease build up on the yellow looks excellent.  Some chipping or a spot colour on that headlight would look nice too.  Your paint definitely makes me want one of my own.  A fine looking piece! 

[3 fingers]

Love it,definitely better de skulled!

[No Such Agency]

I'm always baffled that Photobucket still exists.  It's a total turd of a "service".  But I get that a lot of people have images hosted on it and migrating is a pain.

Anyway, cool tractor, that grimy yellow is grease-a-licious!
