This is an impressively chunky-looking miniature that should give you some extra fire support when you head to the tabletop. The scheme here shows off an excellent way to make these smaller miniatures pop AND draw the eye to specific areas of the model.

Hey Jon,
you also forgot about THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER MADE
Yes, John, you failed. Your failure will mean nothing but endless torment by @avernos and @sundancer … oh, and me too I guess. I’ll be sure to make you suffer for it. Just wait and see what Giftmas brings.
“Trust me” says the man who begins the video by saying “not removing mold lines”…. 😉
Trust me man. I was trusting myself 😛
Not sure if I prefer the result before agrax or not, but that is fine looking mech. ?
I myself often thin agrax as it can give a too dark or too dirty result for my liking.
I did wince when you used your cutting mat instead of paper when removing paint for dry brushing ?
I think you can take or leave the agrax. But more importantly, I like making people cringe 😀
Great, I like it might have to borrow the idea. In the thumbnail and at the end it comes across as there is a slight green hue to the grey, but that can’t been with those base colours. Maybe it’s just the lighting.
It looks nothing like the Shadow Hawks I remember
A great video John with a fab gnarled looking war bound battle mech to field in defence of the house.
Very nice John but possibly abit too involved for the amount of the flipping things I have to paint.
Still doing the resin ones I brought 18 months ago, havent looked at the kickstarter stuff yet!
Hence why my inner sphere stuff will be a base SLDF (Star League Defence Force) Olive green with a bit of yellow for unit markings.
