More yellow you say?
So the yellow is nearly done, after that it's fairly quick to paint in the black areas and a couple of the non-metallic details ready for a quick hit of dullcote to kill the shine then onto the metal.
Also just put in an order for some MK V armour and accompanying weapons to mix in with some bits from sever in loths retinue to make the sternguard to ride in this. Once the turn up and I start covering myself in glue I will get some pics up.
Not a great update but trying to make sure I get on with this project.

I had one but never used it to be honest, it was great when I worked for GW and just used to toast tables with it but living in an apartment the neighbours give me funny looks if I try and spray near there yachtsnor maseratis so I usually get my local GW to prime things then do the rest by hand.
As for baywatch that's reserved for a slaaneshi demon army ;-p

Well i've got some progress to report that isn't just yellow, though I have tidied up its borders with the black as seen here.
I've also worked through getting the edge highlights on the black sorted.
Also painted up the eagle on the front and worked up the cupola vision block lenses.
So just need to tidy the lenses up, paint in the headlights and pop on some transfers/insignia, then its finally dullcote time. All that will be left after that is the metallics and making a crazy base for it.

Well i've been away due to an awful broadband connection that has hindered my ability to upload photos.
THANKS BT
So im gonna try and get caught up a bit on what i've been doing for my scythes and my other distractions. First of all some progress on my razorback, got the metals done and had a general tidy up leaving it ready for squad insignia markings.
I've also got the base knocked up ready to spray.
Also being doing a lot of building for this army including my first squad of sternguard, nearly ready for priming.
Close up photos really show up mould lines i've missed oops.
I've also started building vehicles for a charcharadon army i'll be starting soon. First up my converted redeemer from the fancy FW kit.
this still has some serious gaps to fill before I can crack on with it. Also the rest of the tracked vehicles that will be in the army.
Im planning on trying out my super cheap airbrush compressor combo I bought (for only £60 odd quid) on the these as well as some heavy weathering.
The bargain airbrush I bought, hopefully ok for a bit of basecoating :-s
So that were im up to for now, I wont post the photos of the other scythe stuff i've built as you can only put up with seeing so much grey plastic. Soon as that razorback is finished expect to see me painting up severin loth (FW) as my librarian.

Another mini-update. Got a good start on the tank base for the razorback.
Just needs poo in the cracked pipe and some static grass clumps.
Also made some progress on my rifleman dreadnaught conversions for my charcharadon army.
More info on that on my blog, just follow the link in the sig!

Well last night I managed to slap some blue paint onto my Sevrin Loth model to be used as my scythes librarian.
Difficult to tell how happy I am with the blue on the helmet and chest plate. I guess i'll know more when I add some other colours.

I'm quite tempted to use this model as a basis for a storm lord conversion, plenty of lightning bolts all over it! Helmet does look really nice, but then so do all your scythes!

Cool stuff. How about a rat in the pipe on the tank base?

The detail on the librarian model is superb and I would recommend it to anyone.
@queti good idea I'm sure I can find a skaven player to liberate one from

Time for more blue, got it nearly all done barring one more leg to go. I'll probably go back and re-work some of the transitions. Always found blue a bit iffy to paint so on one hand reasonably pleased but also can see were I would have liked to have done better. I'm looking forward to getting to work on the details, anyway its piccy time.
