“Why stand guard when you can get
your machines to do that job for you?”
That’s what the Nazis in charge of
Department 119’s mechanical sentry project thought.
Hey all, welcome back to The Art of Caesura!
Today we're taking a little jaunt back to Reichbusters, the game that enjoyably occupied much of this blog last year. We're looking at the <cue echoey, B-movie trailer voice> VRIL-POWERED, QUAD-CANNON SENTRY GUNS!!
Like the fun, quick and dirty Vrilpanzer a couple months ago, these sentry guns were a fun exercise in speed painting.
After a spray of Chaos Black and then Leadbelcher, it was straight on to enamels!
In fact, the whole process was so speedy that I forgot to take photos of the work-in-progress! Oopsie!
After a messy coat of Streaking Grime, I sploged a few areas with AK's Dark Brown paint.
Then it was a quick reduction with white spirit to remove the enamels off the prominent surfaces...
...A gentle dry-brush of Vallejo Sliver followed by a more targeted conventional highlight of the same colour to really make some of the metallic surfaces pop...
...and Bob was my proverbial uncle! Well, almost. I didn't see the little red targeting lenses on either side of the barrels until I was looking back at the box-art in preparation for this post; so I went back and popped those in.
And NOW they were complete! Although you can only see 2 in this post, I actually painted 4 at once (the others may make an appearance in the near future!). Once the spray phases were done, the hairy brush work only took about an hour for all four, so I was pretty happy with that!
See you next week on The Art of Caesura!
