Craftworld Saim-Hann : i need to get a camera

I really need to get a camera soon. The pics i took from my phone isn't clear at all.

This pic was taken by either Jeff or Azlan for Legio's 2nd Birthday Bash. Didnt even get their permission to use it first. Ahh well, i'll buy them lunch when next we meet.

This vessel is 1 of only 2 that i've completely painted. The others as you've seen in my previous post have been airbrushed to saim-hann colours but not detailed yet.

I've decided to shelve them for the time being to start on a new project. With the new fantasy rulebook out plus the crowd here more inclined towards fantasy, i reckon its the best time to start on my fantasy army. More on that in my next post.

In the meantime, i'm quite happy with how the wraithships have turned out. Definitely have the Saim-hann look to it. Didn't do anything fancy for it. Just orange linings to bring out the red. I haven't played a game with them yet which is a bummer. No bfg action in these parts so i'll just have to wait for my next legio nite. In september i hope.

Craftworld Saim-Hann update : Patience is a Virtue

But too much is procrastinating. Didn't get much work done on the vessels due to a hectic week . But patience is what you need when you're doing masking work. You need to make sure that all coatings have been given enough time to cure before applying the masks. Because if you don't, it'll peel off when you strip off the masking tapes.

And with that, i'm very happy with how every vessel have turned out. All lines are done and the fleet is beginning to look like a proud Wildhost fleet.

I'm particularly happy with how the command ship has turned out. Opposite colours and really showing that it's the lead vessel ;).

Next step is to paint the sails.

Craftworld Saim-Hann update

Now that the hobby juices is flowing, things are really starting to roll.

1. Base coated with fotress grey and then sprayed black on the stripes area.


2. Proceed to mask the area where i want the black stripes to be.
The way to go to get symmetrical lines are to cut and join them like i've done before applying to the model. That way you're sure to get perfect angles for all the ships. It's not hard work but not easy either. Results though are going to be worth it ;)

3. All masking is done except for the command dragonship which will have opposite colors; similar to my jetbike seer council. Tonite i'll apply another coat of fotress grey to get rid of the black colours before starting on the gorgeous blood red!!! Have i mentioned that i just love red??


ps: sorry about the quality of the pics. Taken with my handphone camera. Will buy a digi-cam after getting this month's pay.

Cheers all.

Craftworld Saim-Hann

The next project on the 'yet to be bought' hobby table are these craftworld eldar vessels. Its a 2K list with 3 dragonships, 5 wraithships n 8 shadowhunters. These are amazing models and captures the eldar look very nicely in my opinion. Of course i'm going to have it done in Saim-hann colours.


The dragonship is slightly larger than the wraithship but has only 1 sail on top.

The wraithship has 2 sails, 1 on top and another ant the bottom. Looks nicer me thinks.

The casting quality by GW is actually quite good. I do hope i can do them justice. Will be my entry for Legio's birthday bash and also for the gothicomp.
