Astra Militarum Chimera finished!

Painting an Astra Militarum Chimera

Introduction

I magnetized and electrified this Chimera - time to paint it. I researched painting black, and came away with the decision of NOT doing fine grey edge highlighting on this blocky vehicle. Instead, I decided on applying the highlights as weathering. Time to redo this old painting tip.

New LED lightbox

 I bought a new lightbox from GreenStuffWorld. It's amazing for small miniatures.

Too bad big stuff don't fit the frame. For monsters, vehicles and large squads I'll still use my two-lamp setup.

Modeling hair on a Callidus Assassin

Introduction

This Callidus Assassin that I bought cheap from eBay was missing her hair. 

Magnetized pintle mount

This is technically the pintle mount from a Chimera, but I am using it on a Leman Russ, as the battle tank kit does not come with its own. I will have a magnetized crew member firing the weapon for the Chimera; but the Russ might need a tank commander AND a pintle mount, so that will not fly here. Using this tutorial though slightly modified.
