Weathered World Eater and Battletech Raven

Still not feeling great, so progress is slow at the moment. The Chaos Dwarf team aren't quite at the point where I can put up a Work in Progress shot . The Night Goblins still haven't even been started yet -although I should be able to paint them from start to finish in a day easily enough, even at my reduced work-rate, so they'll be delivered on time. It's the Blood Bowl team that's worrying me though. I'm going to be annoyed if they end up being finished late, but they should be in the post for Monday, bang on schedule.

Anyway, as per the customer's request I've glued the World Eater Miniature to his metal base and applied some chipping and blood splatter. No rust though. While these guys strike me as not being the type to care much about their appearance, keeping rust off their kit is a more practical concern. I've also added some soot to around the backpack vents, but you can't really make it out in this shot.

I've gone for grey, rather than steel lining around the chips. Space Marine armour is supposedly made from ceramite after all, and like the name says, it's a ceramic, not a metal.

Next up, a lone Battletech Raven for my regular Battletech customer, Matt. It's been painted in the colour-scheme of one of the lances he had me paint for him early on. Many veteran painters disparage dry-brushing as a "beginners" technique, but that doesn't change the fact it provides good results in the right circumstances. Even so, it's not a method I use all that often.
