Thanks and thanks.

The AdMech photoshops were simple things done by myself. The Craftworld Eldar photoshops were done by an experienced photoshopper.

Looking at your adeptus mechanicus ships is making want to paint some myself.  I will probably follow suit with the colour scheme.  Incidentally, how long did it take you to paint up a mechanicus cruiser roughly?  This is one thing I'm forever curious about as it seems to take me a small age of man to produce something...

They look great, especially the Tau Explorer, looks very freighter-like.

The rogue trader cruiser looks good too, I was unsure how I was going to make my chaos cruisers look like rogue trader ones, but I like hows yours tie in with your armed freighters and escorts.

I think i'm going to go for a more 'rusty' approach with my freighters.

Im not sure if its just me but the pics are not coming up on the forum. I checked them out on Picasa tho and they're pretty sweet. I think the scale takes a bit away from the "green glow" of the necrons but your Tomb looks very clean. The Eldar cl tho  :o great, almost looks like Seaquest with the pattern you have on there.

Post by: horizon on August 28, 2012, 08:39:54 AM
Thanks! A Lot!

Stormwind, first time I tried such bases, worked pretty good I think.

Ironpainter, cool comment. The Eldar ship did not make it into to GothiComp finals :(
But most comments I heard are: 'it is awesome!'. yet, most people did not vote on it. I guess the colour scheme turned it into a hate it or love it vessel. Or the other entries are even better!

Same to Tau fleet, no final place. Is it the striking orange?

Post by: canucks fan on August 29, 2012, 06:16:29 AM
Curious as to why you did not enter the solaris?  It looks very nice.  Perhaps a close-up picture?  Would like to see some of the detail.

Title: Re: [BFG]Horizon's Battlefleet Gothic
Post by: canucks fan on August 29, 2012, 06:21:18 AM
As for the Tau fleet, its great.  Not sure why it didn't get more votes, but I like it. IMO its much more important that you are happy with it than what other people think.  What's best is you can clearly see the improvement from your earlier work to this beautiful fleet.
CF
Title: Re: [BFG]Horizon's Battlefleet Gothic
Post by: horizon on August 29, 2012, 06:37:23 AM
Hey CF,

thanks! Yeah, I am very happy with how the latest ships are turning out (starting with the Nightshades). The Tombship I am least happy with, it didn't get the 'whoa' effect I wanted. I think I'll need another shot at it and just be daring and bold. Aceton can fix it if it doesn't work. haha

I didn't enter the Solaris because it was already shown on the internet and I wanted to show new works only. I think the Solaris has better work on the inner sails then the Aurora, but the green on the Aurora is slightly better quality in painting. imo

I shall see if I have some close ups of the Solaris.



edit: I added the Hemlock to the 'inspirations'.

Post by: David Wasilewski on August 29, 2012, 10:20:32 AM
Awesome paint jobs!

My only comment is that bright orange is a high risk, "marmite" choice (i.e. they'll love it or hate it!)
A deep, bright yellow may have been less risky?

Saying that, I like it and who cares about competitions anyway, hours of playing on the tabletop is where the real enjoyment of nice paint jobs is at!

Horizon,

Could you upload your AdMech. ships again?? I can't see the pictures.

The other ships are very nice. I like the Eldar colorful, not very common to see.

Is the Chaos vessel which I like the most. The conversion and the painting jobs are amazing!!!

The same for the Taus, love the FW models and the painting scheme is perfect.

Want to see more from you!

So.... I was looking for AdMech cruisers. But the 3D ones available just didn't look close enough and I decided to do something....eeeeeekkkk.... but I only allowed it since the original ones are no longer for sales and 2nd hand they are way to expensive.

So ordered this for a reasonable amount of little money:
(https://i.imgur.com/yO6Qtno.jpg)

ForgAworld... right. They didn't say that on the website. The cast is really good though. Certainly less bend then the original GW ones. Flash is minimal but attachments are large-flat-thin.

And they added 6 batteries, 6 launch bays, 6 lance batteries. yikey

Looks pretty good to me. A bit brittle resin compared to other models but not much of an issue. The casting was clean with the exact same bend in the hull as the metal one have.

The Helios weapon modules look great on the admech ship. From know on mandatory.

And the blue Renegade fleet goes Mental afterall:
(https://i.imgur.com/mREoL1a.jpg?2)
Back in the days I painted a Chaos fleet as renegades in a blue colour (see previous page). The fleet has an extensive background story. It was under command of Khurzon Reznard that their sector became quite prosperous. But some miscommunication and jealousy from some High Lords of the Imperium the sector went noodles and an intervention fleet was sent. Reznard never wanted to betray the Emperor but at that point he needed to defend his people. But the opening was there and the Lord of Trickery sneaked into Reznard's mind. During the battle the Imperium was to strong and Reznard fled with his fleet. For years he kept protecting humanity were he could. That was then....

...but now after I found my paint again and Tzeentch whispered many trickery things to Reznard his fleet started to fall towards the Chaos Trickery. At the end of the previous page you already saw the "Saint Leroux" as its captain turned into a full fledged sorceror and now we have the "Last Hope" succumbed to the warp entities and turned into a dreaded daemonship. Mwhuahaha

Some Corsair Eldar finally finished in the repainting session. This means my whole Corsair Fleet is redone now. Took a decennia. lol. As you might've seen I painted several Eldar vessels based on the flower they are named after. To round the fleet I painted the remaining vessels as the branches/roots who take in the water...

This bunch was very easy. Not even painted that neat. Main point was to get a real good fleet effect. And I think that works out with wooden colour and blue splash. And the most dark brown you see is the still from the old paintjob.

Next up another Tzeentch cruiser and the remaining escorts. Then two Imperial transports followed by a single remaining slightly altered Tau Protector.

Welll.... the Protector is finished. Before you think : what a speed: about 70% was painted several years ago. Now I just finished the last bits. ;)

(https://i.imgur.com/ibc3fHa.jpg?1)

So:
* The Prow launch bays got fortified/replaced by some studding.
* The Ion Cannon stubs removed
* A prow Craftworld Eldar battery installed
* A alien-esque, raided, Demiurg, attachment went onto the left wing. What it does? I don't care, I need to write the rules. I think harvesting stuff like Demiurg do.

It is called the Lar'shi'vre Nu'ata "Endtimes" Dar'ce Eriel.
(Actually a base concept of what happened to Nu'ata after The Distant Sun supplement/storyline


After finishing this I see so many oppurtunities to go conversion & kitbas nuts with both of the Tau fleets. You can also imagine a small warband of Tau vessels going pirate style and retro-fitting ships with looted stuff.

 :-XThats a good conversion (chaos plasma if I'm not mistaken). It's true the meta tends to portray tau as techno-snobs that tend to only use their own and press it onto other protected races. But this makes more sense. They openly share with other races in their protectorate so why not the other way round.

Post by: osjclatchford on April 17, 2021, 09:16:10 AM
yep, theose bases are delectible!
thats a nice colourscheme on those eldar cruisers.
this design of eldar vessels is so much nicer than the first wave gw released. these have more grace to them in my opinion...

I never got round to getting any of these and I think thats a shame...

Those look great. And agreed on the bases, did you post on how you did them anywhere?
Title: Re: [BFG]Horizon's Battlefleet Gothic
Post by: horizon on April 21, 2021, 07:28:41 AM
Heya,

thanks all.

@osjclatchford, yeah, they are also pretty rare to find on Ebay. Especially the dragonship & void dragon (flame). But in France they did a rec..ast run a few years ago and had some models left. So I could get three of these delightful models in pewter (!). 

@Dave, the bases. People ask frequently how I do them. And in essence it is just aquarel water paint mixing straight on the base.
The base just black, some white stars (sometimes a bit of blue, green, yellow or red in them).
And the "clouds/phenomena" is just very watered down paint roughly applied. In various tones.

These had a mix of a blue and green. White added to get tones.

That's it. Just mixing and flowing on the base.

love the look of these. the way you've done the purple parts inmore pastel shades against the flesh parts is great.
can't be an easy colour mix to get to look natural but these actually look like they'd be alive. unlike the gw studio nids that always look plasticy. well done!

The Flesh was actually much easier than expected. The scales took, in comparision, also with other models, quite some time to get the colour as I wanted.

These three have been my three little best friends:

Yes, that's the old spacefleet Wraithship. Spend years looking for an affordable one. Two months ago I finally succeeded in buying two for a reasonable price.

The AdMech casts of GW aren't their most glorious moments to be honest. The Battleshio was fine, the prow of the cruiser was dread and the light cruiser was complete dread.

But the design, the sleekness and all is excellent.

The battlefleet galaxy ones are pretty neat though.

Post by: Lord Borak on December 24, 2021, 09:26:32 AM
Yeah, I know. The initial released for the major races were some of the best Gw miniatures ever produced (in my humble opinion). There were a few let downs like the Imperial Grand Cruisers, the metal Tau and so forth. But considering how big the range was, you can kinda forgive them!!

Thanks both of you!

The model is from Italianmoose from his ancient elfdar range:
https://italianmoose0.gumroad.com/l/elfdar-ancients-fleet

But you can buy the model right away from scourge scenics:
https://www.scourgescenics.co.uk/shop/product/space-elf-ancient-battleship

Italianmoose created these from the old Jess Goodwin sketches.
If you check the BFG rules thread here you'll some dedicated rules:

So, finished (I think) my Ascending|Descending project!

Kinda bugged Italiaansemoose to create this ship quite some time ago and early this year (or late last year) he created the Sword of Elissar for the ancient Elfdar fleet.
Ofcourse this ship got a place in the fleet of Lodálach-Mús.

Thanks to @DoublebaseFanatic I had the miniature waiting on paint since march.
What scheme to choose? The same as the fleet or something different....
... And I went for different!

Heavily inspired by the artwork of my favourite album Fear Inoculum by Tool!

Here it is:

Imperial fleet:
Top left is the Armageddon Battlecruiser, STL from Italianmoose.
Top right in the back a Tyrant Cruiser (I think I'll upgrade it to an Overlord), indeed GW plastic with Vanguard zeus prow.
The big one is the Emperor Battleship, miniature from Battlefleet Galaxy
The endeavour light cruiser in front is indeed the Zeus one from Zac / Vanguard
The two other light cruisers (endurance and defiant) are again STL from Italianmoose
Escorts are GW.

Moose released these voss ones a few months ago.
