The Warp Storm

Looking ace! Some cool weathering.

A little late, but for October I pledge to build and paint a unit filler for my Grave Guard, for the glory of the Vampire Lord Casimir von Stasiak. Still very much wip, I'll try and sneak a photo in some day soon.

Late pledge time! I was hoping to get painting time in both last week and this week - an airbrush failure last week (now fixed) and a case of life getting in the way meant that I will now have Sunday night and Monday afternoon to go from bare plastic to finished. Considering that oils will be involved half way through this could be something of a race!

Planning to have this guy be an improvement on my last Necron attempt, and if it goes well there will be an accompanying 'easy Necron scheme' tutorial

How did you fix it?

Sounds like a pain but I know how that can be. Best of luck getting it all sorted

Complete disassembly including the air valve. Needed to buy some hex wrenches in ridiculously small sizes nothing was gummed up or physically blocked, but when I reassembled the valve everything worked again. I do now have a high roller trigger to install, the point three needle is back in to try again, and I have a spare air valve seal in case it ever does go.

Great news. Well done!

I managed to finish! Although it is a bit rough in places, I'm at a point where I might do more harm than good if I continue to apply paint. I don't have much in the way of wip, but I do have a shot from how it looked last night.


And here is the finished project, a unit filler for my old-school Vampire Counts.

Great work @MedMos ! Love this old skool stuff, you've definitely done it justice.

Very cool, the wood looks awesome
