Painting: Aegis Defense Lines

Tau_Tyranids

Hey everyone,

So just a quick update this weekend. I just moved apartments on campus, nothing too far, but its nice to get away from some people I really didn’t get along with and barely got along with each other.

I did kill some time though by pulling out some terrain I had lying around and get it finished. I’ve had the Aegis Defense Line pieces sitting in some drawers for a while, and while I can’t remember where most of it is, I remembered I wanted them painted! So with a little preparation, I got to work!

I went for the same style as my Imperial Guard tanks and the bastion, which was:

MAIN WALLS

1) Base with Scorched Brown

2) 1:1 Scorched Brown/Khemri Brown overbrushed on the walls.

3) Overbrush Khemri Brown onto the walls

4) 1:1 Khemri Brown/Dheneb Stone Drybrushed on.

Reinforced Areas

1) Base with Dark Flesh

2) Drybrush Tallarn Flesh onto sections

Results:

AegisDefense(1)

AegisDefense(2)

The writing is done with a standard brush and white paint, and the chevrons are done using THIS technique. For a final picture, my lone guardsman fending off an Ork swarm, which was painted by my friend.

AegisDefense(3)

This doesn’t look good…

  2. Brown looks surprisigly good. I like that they're not the standard grey/metallic barriers that it seems everyone else is using. The graffiti is a nice touch as well. :)

  3. Hey thanks guys! As I said, they're painted just like my tanks and the bastion, so I've been able to keep everything consistant. As for the graffiti...who wouldn't want to write "FRAK OFF" across a barricade across from a bunch of orks?
