Don't you see ?

Reactors are inverted ! [insert meta-facepalm] It took me two ours to mount correctly those $%! reactors...
And now, painting time !

Ulthwe - Titan WiP
I'm not finished with the Eldars ! But this is the last (but not least) "mini" I have to work on: a Forge World Eldar Phantom Titan.
A good position is pretty hard to find, and when you finally founded it... the weight and the stems positions modify it.
But I'm still on it and I wish I'll start the painting work next week.

The good, the bad and the ugly
THE GOOD
Games Workshop decided to impulse a big
revolution in it's paints. They removed all their actual production
and gived us all new shiny paints.
Every player with a full painted army
will ask this question to its retailer : "does it change
anything ?" Yes, it changes ! Names aren't the same, new paints are brighter and last but not least, the colors aren't
exactly the same...
This is why I decided to
stock as much Orkhide Shade as I could, I have a 3000 points
Dark Angels army and I want to keep painting it with this particular color.
On the other side,the reds seems to be brighter. And clearly, I agree with this. I changed the highlights I made on the red parts because I founded them too dark. These new paints will help me.
And last but not least, these new paints are coming with Dark Angels minis. (source: apocalypse40k) And it means the Dark Angels are back. And that's really good !
THE BAD
With all the pre-Heresy stuff Forge World gave us, I was impatiently waiting for pre-HH terminators. But...
But the new termis aren't the one we can see in the Horus Heresy books series. These are "Tartaros pattern terminator armor". Awwww...
I know I won't buy it. The Mk IV look is pretty cool, but the "terminator" look isn't here.
THE UGLY
Grey Knights and Bllod angels are the first Space Marine chapters with a real flying machine: the When the Storm Eagle appeared in the last days of march, I tought it was a joke. The Forge World Open Day was annouced for the 1st april, so it had to be an april's fool, right?
It wasn't. And it seems to be the result of an alliance between a Stormraven and a Tau Devilfish. And I don't like the result.
Forge World, how can you give Space Marine players such an ugly plane thing, when you can create this amazing flying machine to the Imperial Guard players? The Avenger seems to come from my dreams! It's so amazing that, even if I'm not an IG player, I'll buy one for my own pleasure.

DeathWing - WiP (2)

This is the first member of my DeathWing army. And it'll be the only one for some month...

Ulthwé - Avatar
We are in March, God of war month!
I've just finished the second part of a three Eldar
figurines order, all from World Forge.
The first was a Cobra Mk II.
The second an Avaatar of Khaïne.
Third one is [surprise!].
Each one had to be painted in the Ulthwé vessel-world colors (black and yellow). I'm happy to have accepted this order,
despite the material difficulties and the constraints that imposes.
I wanted to work with a reduced pallet to keep at
Ulthwé colors: dominant black, yellow for the details. Ivory underlayer to
obtain a luminous yellow, then armour plates painted in black
(dominant color), with edges in orange.
To finish, gems were painted in nuances of blue.
Metals didn't receive any wash. I started with a dark metal (Boltgun
Métal) before painting the edges with brilliant metal (Mirthril
Silver).
Last detail, three kanjis were painted on the loincloth: water -
fire arms. Which can be translated in "WaterGun", our association's name.
