| Just a quick one this time. I have been revamping my Warhound pack over the last couple of week-evenings and havent been able to shake off how much I dislike Forgeworld's Mega Bolter implementation. After scrounging around in my bits box I decided I had enough to have a go at building something clos... |

| Hi All, I figured its about time I should have a bit of a clear out of some of my unused bits. Mostly it is Chaos and Eldar I accumulated some time ago. All the proceeds generated from the trade will go towards building an Ork army for my girlfriend (yes thats right, my girlfriend!). Ideally I would... |

Annnd on to part two!

File comment: Using the same brush paint the bottom of the marker white. Really get the paint into the crevices and holes. Dont be worried about clogging up some of the smaller holes at this point. This bit is important as it will give the marker that "inner glow" of something burning from within.
In this case I have also applied the white paint to the tips of the debris arms and the underside of the fire ball at the top.... not sure if any of this will work out...

File comment: Once the white base paint has dried, top coat it with yellow acrylic. After the yellow has dried its time time to add some detail. Start with the orange/yellow shade and dab onto the yellow parts with a small brush. DO NOT uniformly cover the yellow area, leave it blotchy. Let the orange shade dry then move onto the red shade. This time concentrate the red around the boundary between the yellow and black boundaries.

File comment: Currently the whole thing looks rather flat. We start to give some depth by wet-brushing some black paint back over the boundary between the black and yellow. For this I would suggest using black acrylic as the emulsion I used didnt seem to cover properly to give good contrast.
At this point you will notice all the yellow and orange and red look as if they are on the inside of the explosion.

And there we are. I hope this provides some use for anyone looking at making their own blast markers!

| Hi All, I haven done much in the way of modeling for a while but thought I would try and ease myself back into things with something basic like blast markers. As I couldnt find any decent "How To" instructions I figured I would share the process I used to make a set of blast markers (Edit:... |

| Hey Bob, really impressed with your Cestus, where did you get your polystyrene sheeting? Having trouble googling up anything suitable! Thanks in advance. As Jimmy says, you should be able to get it from most decent hobby shops. I got mine from http://www.alwayshobbies.com/ I got a number of sheets ... |

| Righty! I put this one together for a skirmish event last year. I wanted to beef out my Land Speeders with a tornado but I didnt have enough free minitures to modify. I preferred the MkII design over either the MkI or MkIII but couldnt find any on ebay at the time. No plans for this one either but i... |
