Liquid Green Stuff Review

Here's a quick review of the new Liquid Green Stuff Games Workshop is offering. Readers digest version: 

Pro: Easy to apply with a paint brush.
Super handy that its water soluble (easy to clean up, and smooth out).
 Easy to sand or scrape after dry.
Dries relatively quickly.

Con: Some shrinkage after it drys
GW's paint container... not sure how long before it dries out.

 And here's the video showing it in action:

Dreadfleet Painting: Flaming Scimitar

Here's my latest finished ship from Dreadfleet: the Flaming Scimitar. It was fairly striaghtforward to paint, its just a shame that you can't see the second sail since the detail turned out quite well. Anyway, video and paints are after the break.

Dreadfleet Painting: Scenery

Here's the scenery all painted up. Now I have everything ready for the first mission... now I just have to find time to play. Also, I picked up the Battle Foam trays for Dreadfleet. They are my first battle foam products, and I'm pretty happy with them. The two comments I'd say about it are that it sticks up more than an inch (more than I think they advertise 3/4") and some of the parts are hard get out because the trays are quite deep. Perhaps I'll do a separate review of that later.

Anyway, the scenery (video and paints after the break)

Mention on GW's what's new today!

Whoot... I uploaded some of my pics to the GW flickr pool and just had one of them featured in the What's New Today article:

I've just finished all the scenery and tokens, so I'm all set to play the first scenario with fully painted models. Hopefully I'll have time to do that this weekend.

This is the pic...

Bloody Reaver Painted (Dreadfleet)

Here's the second ship I've painted from Dreadfleet... the Bloody Reaver. It painted up much quicker than the Heldenhammer, but has more colours to contend with. Go figure. All the paints are shown at the bottom of this article, and I explain the process in the embedded video.

Dreadfleet Bloody Reaver WIP

Here's some work in progress shots of the Bloody Reaver. I'm following the white dwarf painting article again... although this one isn't as complete as the Heldenhammer article. No worries, the 360 views gw has provided are a big help.

Heldenhammer painted (Dreadfleet)

Just finished the Heldenhammer ship from Dreadfleet. I used the painting guide from White Dwarf almost exactly and am pretty happy with the results. Its a lot of work to get this painted since there are so many different colours and details on the model.

I used mostly GW paints... lots of foundations and washes. The paints are at the bottom of this post (I'm gathering stuff for the video tutorial now). *edit* Video has been uploaded and is included after the break.

Here's some pictures of the Heldenhammer as I paint it up. I'm following the painting guide from White Dwarf. I highly recommend this issue for anyone who picked up Dreadfleet.

Dreadfleet Scenery Assembly video

Here's all the scenery from the dreadfleet box. I figured I'd assemble it first since I'd need it for any games I was going to play. It should be pretty easy to paint, so I might even start with it as well.

Dreadfleet Unboxing Video

Here's the new box with all its goodies. It hasn't sold out quite like Spacehulk, but I'd say the contents have been produced to a similar very high quality level.
