Blessings of the Plaguefather - Blight Drones

A rarity, a post which isn't full of pictures from an event, but instead pictures of models I have worked on.

I am trying to prioritise completing WIP/PIP projects.

First up my second Blight Drone...and the first one which I ended up partially repainting.

Some more progress on the base...

Decided to add a poster. I did these propaganda posters ages ago and while I have seen a few other people use them this is the first time I have actually used one myself other than a few test goes. The post on RD I did covering them is still one of the most viewed pages on here.

Went for the Cadian one as it's a classic. And suits some of my terrain which has Cadian equipment knocking around.

Also on the base I did the discharge.

I wanted a different effect than on the first drone, for a number of reasons - 1. to give some variety between the two 2. to bring different contrast between the gunk and the ruin and 3. I can't remember how I did the first one.

I tried lots of things and nothing seemed to work.

Then I just went for the whole bloody-pussy-discharge instead.

The drone itself has got more paint on it now, base coats and the start of the washes. Lots more to do yet.

More on the Drone base...

I added the 'discharge', as before made out of glue gun glue, 2 part epoxy and LGS.

With the Drone in place...

Since then the base has had some more paint...

The discharge is very much PIP.

Not had chance to do much recently but I have got a bit done over the last 2 or 3 days.

The plan was for my next post to be on my Dreadball team, however due to a. hating working on them and b. making a stupid mistake while doing the first three they are now on hold till I can get enough enthusiasm to pick them up again.

So instead we have an update on the Blight Drone.

The Blight Drone has been undercoated (bar the weapons which I forgot) but I have mainly been working on the base.

The inside floor has been painted and all the washes done, darker towards the back as light wouldn't get in there that well with the first floor in place.

The first floor also got done, mainly the underside as obviously it'll be tricky to paint that once it is in place. Quick job as it will rarely be seen.

The top also got some paint but it will be worked on a lot more than this.

The floor was then glued in place...

...and the gaps filled in and the rubble added.

Since these pics I have done a bit more but that can wait till the next update tomorrow or Wednesday.

It has been a while since I did anything to the second Blight Drone.

So let us rectify that now.

I've added all the cables. I also added a little GS to the carapace, partly because I had some mixed up and partly because it will help tie it in with the Decimator and Plague Hulk. Even though I remodelled the rear end and the cables have a different configuration the GS on the front will give an instant visual difference between the two Blight Drones.

I also put together the four fans, I'll paint these separate before gluing in place.

The ruin on the base had some attention from the Dremel I also filled in the odd gap with GS.

That's all for tonight.
