Just a little tease as the bases are still drying. Don't worry more pictures are coming.

Updated pictures farther down.

That's a very nice green. I like the coloring and shadings on everything. What paints and techniques did you use to get that?

That is a really great green and an especially nice job modding that Cauldron Born.

The Falconer looks pretty imposing... 8)

Started off with black Primer. Used Reaper Master Series Jade Green. And over that did Game Color Escorpena Green With a #2 brush attempting to dry brush large areas. At the last game I went to I brought along some and got a good responce. Once the Bases get fully dry I gotta get to my uncles business and use his photo booth to get some nice high res closeups.

@xupgrayddx
The Cauldron-born, Shadowhawk, Phoenix Hawk, and Javalin are actually from the Bounty Hunters Companion Box set. Got a few at GenCon.

Can we see a close up of the Shadow Hawk and Caldron Born? Look like interesting mods.

Thanks for the positive reviews and comments. Sadly I had to redo the Javalin due to my Dull coat from Games workshop frosting like it was winter. So I am getting some Testors Dullcote in the next day or 2 and will have everything coated by Sunday and free reign on my uncles photo booth.

Don't strip minis when the dullcoat frosts, just wait until it's less humid out and hit them again. The frost goes away. That works every time with Testors, but I'm not sure about overpriced GW crap.

I'm using that Jade Green on some Battle Armor, but with white primer. I may have to try black primer and see if that looks better.

Shi_no_Kami · « **Reply #12 on:** 01 September 2011, 17:32:02 »

That's the same Green I use for My Jade Falcon Mechs. I love that shade.

And I'm glad to see someone else using the Falconer with the Bounty Hunter, It was the one mech I was sad to not see in the Bounty Companions pack.

GW dullcote does not defrost after humidity. I had to redo some of my Black Widows from Wolf Vers Blake after waiting 2 weeks I just tossed the griffin in the Simple Green and resprayed without trouble. It will take me about 3 hrs to re do the Jade Green basecoat and then the Escorpena Green over coat.

I believe these are from the Bounty Hunter lance packs they did recently.

They're not mods, they comethat way out of the Bounty Hunter's compnaions blister

Is that a shadow hawk? It's not the reseen version... is it the primative version?

Yes it is the Primitive version that comes from the Bounty Hunter Campanion box set that will be available this fall(Last I knew) from IWM.

Het that ShadowHawk is cool. Had not seen the Mechs from that pack yet. :o [drool] O0

Demon55 · « **Reply #19 on:** 03 September 2011, 00:31:37 »

Mechs the color of money, what is not to like?

NotSoSilentBob · « **Reply #20 on:** 06 September 2011, 18:43:38 »

Well here we go with some decent close ups of the 11 mechs I have.

I have had many requests for the Shadowhawk Primitive here are some of each side.

And Big pappa pump.

Looking good so far. They do look like they are crying out for some wash to darken up the small details and lines though.

markhall · « **Reply #22 on:** 07 September 2011, 03:06:49 »

The Mad Cat looks so Odd without the missile packs.

great work. Can't wait to see them when they are all cashed out.

I am going for the Bright green that the Bounty hunter is known for. Yes a Wash could add more detail but this batch is attempting to color match more for play then anything.
