Continuing on from the
Part-1, I got the second Reaver up to the same basecoat level as the first one.
 |
| Basecoated in Khorne Red. |
Then I painted them up to the next level using Blood Red.
 |
| Blood Red. |
The next two layers were Wildrider Red and final highlight of Sunburst Yellow.
Here they are being compared to the
Venom that I painted last month. Note that the curvature of the Reaver Bikes are exceptionally good at catching a glare so photographing these things is a bit tricky.
 |
| Venom comparison. |
Using a bit of sponge I dabbed on some areas to give the impression of scratched paint. This was done primarily to the Bladevanes and sharp edges.
 |
| Scrapes applied. |
A further highlight of Mitheril Silver was added to the edges of the blades and randonly added to a few spot to look like fresh gashes.
 |
| Mithril Silver added to the blades. |
Notice the bike with the overhead gun; I just couldn't allow the illogic of having the blade nearly touching the rider's head to continue. So I trimmed it off and together with another blade glued it to the side of the Splinter Rifle to give a sort of pronged claw-like look. I think it improved the look of that bike also!
So these first two Reaver Bikes are done, I just need to finish the riders next.
