I hope to get more done and get it done quickly. We'll just have to see if that pans out or not... Wish me luck!

Krieg Vendettas Complete
I only have a month to finish up my DKOK army. I've been drowning in commissions lately which is both good ($$$) and bad (Time). I've sold all of my fully painted armies for 40k as I'm getting more and more into fantasy and less and less into 40k. In between working on all my projects I have to find time to squeeze in some IG action. Today I finished up my Vendettas that have been at the 85% mark for about ohhh I'd say a year! ;) Enough Jibber Jabber and on to pictures!
I hope to get more done and get it done quickly. We'll just have to see if that pans out or not... Wish me luck!

Weathering and Base Coating
I finished up all the weathering on the base camo on the tanks. This includes the paint chipping in spots and dirt and grime and rain streaks all over the tanks. They still need to be tightened up and brought more into focus but adding all the details and additional blending will do this. So far I'm proud of how they've turned out.
Now that the base Coats are done on the tanks I started airbrushing the base coats of my valks/vendettas. I could have gone with the same paint scheme and added an off white color to the bottom of the planes and it would have looked all right. I ended up going with more of an Imperial Navy look though. My reason for doing so is that some day I want to own about 8 valks/vendettas, 1 vulture gun ship, 1 of the world war 2 looking bombers and a couple of the lightning or thunderbolts and have a full apoc or just for fun only Imperial navy army. This is only a dream right now but I decided to go ahead and paint my vehicles to match my future IN project. This will also add a little variation in my army and break up the gray/desert camo pattern of all the tanks. I went with a gray top and a bone colored bottom.

Getting out of the mud...
I don't know how many of these will make the cut in my final tournament list but I plan on having a total of 8. 6 Vendettas and 2 Valkyries. As its "paint my army for tournament" crunch time I need to narrow down exactly what I want so I'm not painting unnecessary units. I have 2 Vendettas now and 1 Valkyrie assembled and primed in Mr. Hobbies Mr. Surfacer 1000. The best model primer in the world!!! (IMO) I also have 1 Valkyrie being assembled and am working on purchasing 2 more. Most people convert up their lascannons for their Vendettas. I've seen some killer ones and some that look very natural. Wildeyedjesters Chaos Vendettas are a great example of this. I've already spent so much on 9 forge world tanks and 60 some odd Dkok whats a couple more forge world conversion kits. :P Now I'm off to the Internetz to look up paint schemes for my mad airborne trench fighters!
