Ties modifications and base repaintings

By urifici, in X-Wing

I want to show you my ties repaints and base modifications (I like the idea of bases like galaxies):

The tire is my favorite.

Nice work.. and I'm suddenly inspired to do something similar.. I think I'll try doing the big wide bands and set an imp cog in them.. I've been trying to figure how to make mine unique and this just clicked.. nice work on these, and really love how you did the phantom.

Thanks!!

another update, now is turn for Corran, I've painted following de WWII corsair schema (blue navy and yellow) I allways loved that plane and the colors of the navy schema.

Corran's seen some rough battles... or at least he's flown through his fair share of meteor showers. :lol:

yeah! that's the idea! he's seen a lot of battles! and he doesn't want his ship repaired ;) every scratch on the hull it's a memory of a great battle on the space.

Nice job!!

On topic: You've managed to make an E-wing look cool.

Off topic: How are you using your Sanguinary Guard? I bought 30 of them to play as troops with Dante in the 5th ed codex and now I either have to play Unbound or use three 10 man squads and play two 5 man tactical squads as troops (which is lame as ****).

answering your outtopic, I use them in a 10 marine unit, with chapter banner and a sanguinary priest with jumpack with them. on charge they do about 50 atacs with WS 5, F5 and FP3 ;) AWESOME!

ONTOPIC: Today I'll post new pictures of Airen Cracken and his 2 (they'll be 3 but still got 2) escort z-95 bandits

So 10 total? I'll have to cost out the points but I'd hate having to use tacticals in the army. It won't be long till they redo the Dark Angels book and remove Deathwing then sell that as its own $50 codex formation.

Which yellow is that on the E-wing? I'd like to use that as the walkway on a Firespray.

only one 10 man squad, but think about it, everything they atack will be destroyed!!

Yellow it's averland sunset from Citadel, shaded with druchii violet, highlighted with averland and Vallejo clear yellow for the top highlight.

more stuff!! After the shame I've been through last sunday, I've decided to incorporate to my rebel squadron this two new toys :lol:

That yellow is the perfect hue. I bought a bunch of yellow for some Bad Moon Gobbos so I should have that color.

Well, today I show you Keyan Farlander, I've painted him diferent, they are a hero an elite pilot, and his ship has to be diferent.

Here you are, the pictures!

That Defender is mind blowing. Love the shading on thew solar panels.

Agreed, all these look great. But that Defender is crazy good.

I was just looking over my TIEs and wondering how I can make them stand out a little.

Looking good but the decals on the B-Wings bug me. The Roman numerals should be parallel with the leading edge of the wing, not the trailing edge. Just looks odd to me. Otherwise a fine job.

I like the decimator colors! Looks like a Coast Guard cutter!

Love the painting on your Defender. The Phantom is also top notch. Also very impressed by the engine lighting on the Dec. Wish I had an artistic eye like that.

more stuff!

now the Lambda shuttle ;)

How have you been doing the battle damage? With a sponge?

How have you been doing the battle damage? With a sponge?

Yes man! I've used a sponge, you dip the sponge into black paint, dry the sponge a lot with a napkin, and then mess all the ship with it. You will have a black random pattern, and then you only have to paint with silver inside of every spot, ensuring you let a black edge of every one of the spots.
