    A great save, Brian @brithebuilder
    I can imagine your heart rate went up a lot when all remained dark after turning the switch.

    Wow, Brian (@brithebuilder), these Warhammer mechs came out great. The paint and weathering is awesome, and your lighting is amazing. Well done!

    @gblair - Thanks George! I really appreciate it. just about a dozen of the other bad guys to paint up before building the diorama. The Tyranids should go pretty quick though. I'm hoping to be done with the whole project by this coming weekend.

    First Tyranid finished as a road map for the rest. The rest of them will be assembly line painted... first the pink-purple of the face and joints, then the blue-purple of the body, then the red, then dark grey for the armor parts... a wash of a dark purple to tie it all together and then a bit of light grey highlighting on the dark armor to, hopefully, make it look more detailed.

    I'm late to the party. Brian it's refreshing to see some familiar techniques being used on different subjects, showing a different world. The lighting really brings out the creep factor with the death heads mixed with a little steam punk and the mech warrior theme. The parts count for one figure would be enough for some but, building a small army adds to the WOW factor. Or is that Omg? 😉

    @stephen-w-towle - Thanks Stephen, the world of Warhammer definitely offers some really fun building and painting opportunities. My buddy Mike; client on the project, definitely loves the detail on these builds. He's more of a collector of cool stuff and not so much of a Warhammer player at this point, so the diorama works. Typically, the models from Games Workshop are quite overpriced and don't make sense to build into a diorama... players want them on the table to play with. The previous knight I built for him was the Acastus knight article I posted here. That big boy can decimate another players entire army in a couple dice rolls... I'm going with Omg - WOW! 🙂

    Progress, only a little painting on the Tyranids left, just a bit of light grey highlighting on the teeth and armor plates and they'll be ready for the diorama. I'm hoping that building the diorama will go relatively quickly. Torn up pieces of cork from an old push pin board and a bunch of rocks tend to look really cool when covered with AK Muddy Ground and Rough Terrain texture pastes.
