Decals are mostly from the big Mechanicus sheet plus a few others (Tamiya NATO tanks, British railway electrification flashes, Industria Mechanika random decals.)

I've weathered over them with acrylics, stippling the base colour and then glazing with the same colour, then adding a little Rhinox Hide chipping in most cases.

The rainbow needed a bit more work to paint out and soften the hard edges, I'll see if it still needs blending in after the washes.

Hazard stripes to come, that'll be a masking + airbrush job.

Hi and Welcome back to the Walt Disney World Top 30 Must Sees. The countdown that focuses on the top 30 things that Sarah and I are looking forward to doing on our August trip to Walt Disney World.

Where can you go from viewing Plasticus Mechanicus animals on a cruise in the heart of the jungle to viewing animals in the flesh and blood on a safari in the middle of Africa all in one afternoon? Where can you travel the world all in one afternoon--without a private jet? Only Walt Disney World, of course!

These seemingly crazy "trips" are possible because of what is fondly known as the "Disney Details." If you were going to have a list of the things that make Walt Disney World a truly "Disney" experience, number one on your list would be "magic", and followed closely behind at #2 would be "details." Whether it be in the intentional distressing all around Animal Kingdom or the clever and meticulously placed hidden mickeys throughout the parks, Walt Disney World is rife with details.

It is the attention to details that separates Disney from Six Flags, Cedar Point, and those amusement parks whose principal goal seems only to build the tallest, fastest, or most dangerous (well, maybe not that one!) coaster possible. Where Disney can't beat these parks on barbarian and raw thrills, they can't touch Disney on the minutiae. These details are one thing that Sarah and I are looking forward to the most--the little nuances of the parks, resorts, and 'The World' in general that make visiting Walt Disney World a totally immersive experience. So immersive for us that we don't want to spoil the "theming" so we isolate ourselves from the "real world" as much as possible on our trips (no internet, cars, newspapers, or non-WDW TV). For us, the Disney Details are one of the big things that keeps us coming back, and makes it all come together. Because you can't have the magic until you focus on the Details!

The Secutarii, also known as the Corpus Secutarii, are Tech-Guards: cybernetically augmented warriors that serve in the armies of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Although they share many common roots with the Skitarii that form the bulk of the Adeptus Mechanicus' cybernetic armies, the Secutarii play a very different role on the battlefield, for they serve as support infantry for the Titan Legions of the Collegia Titanica.

As much warriors as guards, the Secutarii are entirely devoted to the protection of the Titans under their care, which is why they are also known as the "Titan-Guard."

Mechanicus Cerastus Knight Lancer - House Raven

By Christopher Poole

Very quick paint jobs - a bit more than an hour per rat - but they need refining and speeding up a bit more as the metals are still just blocked in.

The main part (skin) is stippled Ungor Flesh over mahogany primer followed by a drybrush of white ink and then glazed down with contrast paints. Initially a 50/50 flesh tone, then spot glazes of pink and purple, highlights of Ungor Flesh and Pallid Wych Flesh, with a final very thin flesh tone glaze to tie it together.

Cloth is Militarum Green with Elysian Green/Rakarth Flesh highlights and a bit of Terradon Turqoise to enrich the shadows.

As the scuplts are a bit soft in place it helped to line around all the cloth and some other volumes with Wyldwood to separate them.

Other details are Mechanicus Grey with Basilicanum Grey for the fur, drybrushed with Celestra Grey and white ink.

Eyes are Blood Angels Red over Wraithbone.

binary comment

Made a start on the eyes, teeth etc. I think I need to add a dark ring to the eyes though?

Eye sockets were filled with Fire Dragon Bright and the eyeballs painted Lugganath Orange. Then I washed Bloodletter around the socket and dotted the pupil with white.

The mouth and grooves have had a (messy) wash of Agrax but it's not really dark enough yet.

Also drybrushed the gun with Mechanicus Standard Grey and washed the grey-green with Athonian Camoshade mixed ~50:50 with medium.

Lastly I picked out the arm and leg pistons/sinews with Vallejo Liquid Silver., but it's not neat enough.

Need to clean up a whole load of things before proceeding.

The Vostroyan Firstborn are Imperial Guard Regiments. Vostroya is a world in the Halo Zone beyond the Eye of Terror, which swore allegiance to Mars during the Age of Strife. It is now ruled by a committee of Techtriarchs, a mix of Mechanicus Magi and more traditional Imperial planetary government. During the Horus Heresy, Vostroya refused to provide regiments to the Emperor, preferring instead to reserve the population in the manufactoria blanketing the world. After the Heresy, the Vostroyans, out of guilt, agreed to supply every family's firstborn son to service with the Imperial Guard
