Hi all,

Thraxas - No haven't got to the Goliath yet, have been working on other models. I'm trying to do my models in order of generation, so the vehicles will come a bit later after the Neophytes.

dsteingass - Thanks for the kind words, I'm looking forward to sharing more in coming months

Patriarch is complete... mostly. I am debating whether or not to do a glowing brain on it or not... let me know your thoughts on if you think it needs a glowing brain, and what colour???

Here is some photos

Thanks Knightley!

Means a lot coming from someone who is as good at painting as you are.

I'm always trying new stuff and experimenting and trying to learn to be a better painter, youtube really helps along with practice

Nice work. Love those black spines with the yellow tips. They work really well with the red/blue too.

Cheers EDC.

I was debating on whether to go with yellow or go with a more standard grey colour scheme... In hindsight I'm pretty happy with the yellow, like you say it contrasts really well with the rest of the colours.

toasteroven - One of the best things about maintaining a painting thread (along with meeting/connecting with other hobbyists) is seeing improvements over time. Occasionally I have gone back and looked at my earlier stuff and gone... wow, I actually have improved... nice to know other readers think I'm getting better as well

Warboss_Waaazag - Thanks! I'm pretty stoked with how it has turned out.

I'm currently working on a couple of familiars, so watch this space!

Hi all,

Bit late with the update this week... been rather busy in the "real world".

Finished the genestealer familiars, I mucked up their heads slightly so need to go back and fix that up at some stage in the future, but overall happy with how they have turned out.

Basing is different on these two in that they are physical manifestations of psychic power I thought I'd try a dark aura type base, it's ok... maybe I'll have another go at them later on...

Without further delay, here is the new additions:




And the current cult army in all it's painted glory... it's early days of the infestation, and I'm painting them up in order that they would appear in a cult infestation



Next on the painting table is the Abberants, which can sometimes pop up in the early generations.

Thanks for reading.

Hi all,

Update time. Have started getting some paint onto the Brothers Aberrant.

Have laid down the base colours ready for washing, nothing too exciting as yet but the colour combinations are working well

EDC - Thanks, they are pretty cool little models, I can really see them scampering around underfoot.

Knightley - Not quite... haven't set the airbrush up yet, this is pretty much the last squad that will be done 100% with brush, the next push will have some airbrush work, primarily for priming.

Ratius - Thanks, I trust Hissy is keeping you busy?

Sheesh this time of year is busy in real life isn't it? Silly season I guess.

So I haven't had a huge amount of time to sit down and paint, all I have really done on Abberants since last update is a wash and then bringing the red back up on the skin surfaces... here is where they are at:



However I haven't been totally idle during this time. I knew I wouldn't have much time to sit down and paint but didn't want to waste a bunch of time so I set up a system where I could clip, mold line and glue a model or two together each day in the small down times I had... I pretty much have everything cult related built now, just a bit more to do on goliath as that will be magnetised so will take a bit longer, so here is the army as it stands (missing 10 purestrain old school space hulk genestealers):



I have a painting plan set out for the army as it stands as well, based on generation of cultists so I should be able to get back into the painting soon.

Meanwhile I'll keep using my little system to build up the remaining models of the Cult AND Hive Fleet Ngaro, who I haven't forgotten about

Thanks for reading.

At least you have a plan. The GSC stuff is looking cool so far.

Well I managed to get a bit more painting done on the brothers so I guess that's a good thing EDC

Did some more work bringing the purple robes, the blue pants and the skin up again... I'm looking at doing some tattoos on the top of the back and heads of these guys like they have in the codex, I'm debating which colour to use for the tattoos however.



I'm pretty happy with how these are coming out, although I may have had a few issues with consistency of the lightest paint on the skin work so it is a bit thicker in places than I would have liked.

Should have this group close to done come next update.

Enjoy!

Hi for 2017 Dakka!

Been a good while since my last update, I trust everyone had a good relaxing holiday time.

So for my first post of 2017 I'd better do a bit of a summary of my 2016 hobby wise.

2016 "Consume and grow year" Goals:

- Finish building and painting all remaining Hive Fleet models.
- Get the Hive Fleet out on the table and play a few games.
- Buy some more Tyranid models to continue to grow Ngaro.

So, I didn't quite finish painting all the remaining Ngaro models, and I didn't buy many more Tyranid models however I had a good "distraction" reason for this, and that reason was... Genestealer Cult!! So I started a whole new army and a bunch of my painting and building time got redirected to that at the back end of 2016. I built a lot of models in 2016, painted 22 Tyranid models, 10 Chaos models and 5 GSC models which totals 36 models painted, which is a bit lighter than I had hoped... but I now have a lot of models to paint in 2017.

In terms of games, I feel this goal was well achieved. I played 14 games over 2016, so just over one per month, and I played heaps of different armies which was awesome for my learning. Sisters of Battle, Orks, Thousand Sons, Imperial Guard, Dark Eldar, Tau, Grey Knights, Ultramarines, Chaos demons were all faced with varying degrees of success. I am really looking forward to playing more games and have already played two in 2017 so off to a good start.

To finish my 2016 summary I just wanted to say a thank you to my regular painting blog followers your comments help keep me motivated to continue to post updates. Specially big THANK YOU to Knightley, he has been awesome in 2016 and has really helped me a lot with the hobby in getting me playing different armies, painting up some models for me, through to giving me hints, tips and advice on painting and building. So thanks heaps Knightley and I'm looking forward to our friendship continuing in 2017!

So, onto 2017 goals:

- Continue to play at least one game per month
- Finish building all currently owned Tyranid models (62 models)
- Finish painting 1000pt Genestealer Cult Army (44 models left)
- Paint at least half of unpainted Tyranid models (38 models)
- Encourage brother to get off his bum, finish building his Tau forgeworld titan and get him and his army back on the tabletop.

The painting goal of this year is rather ambitious at 82 models to be painted (my record is currently 60 in one year), however I am a lot better than I was and I have also purchased a air brush set up which should speed up a lot of the base coating particularly on the Tyranid skin.

Getting my brother inspired/motivated could also be an ambitious goal, but we will see how I go

I'm also planning on updating this blog more regularly again, as I have been a little slack in the back end of 2016.

So, stay tuned for what I hope will be an eventful year for myself, the Genestealer Cult and our Hive Fleet Ngaro overlords and masters

It was a great 2016 for both of us and I felt the continuous games we got in were varied and enjoyable (heck we still talk about the mawloc getting his head stuck in the underside of a GK razorback and dying)

Very ambitious goals painting wise for 2017, however I feel with the airbrush, 70% of the heavy lifting is done already.

Bring the rest of 2017 on I say!

Update time!

Aberrants are complete... and I reckon they look pretty sweet! The unique thing about these guys that I've played with a bit is tattoos. In the codex some of the aberrants have tattoos on them, I thought that was pretty cool, so I have done my own version with a green colour, let me know what you think:




I've also sat down and had a think about a name for this cult, as calling it "my genestealer cult" just didn't seem quite right, so after a bit of thought I've decided to call it the Cult of the Red Saviour, given that the Patriarch skin is red and he is saving the population from the Imperium I thought it was pretty apt. Here is all the current completed models thus far:



Also played another game, this time was against Knightleys brother using Sisters of Battle. Was a very fun close fought game which ended at turn five with a 16-11 victory to Hive Fleet Ngaro. I'll get a few pics and a summary of game up later in the week

See you soon.

Hey LDP!

Was very nice to meet you yesterday, and seeing your Ultramarines in person was awesome, that is a great looking army you have coming along there! Thanks for subbing to the blog and for helping out with the big game yesterday, we had some pretty awesome duels, I hope we can have some more!

So this week I got some work done on the Acolyte hybrids, just laid down the base colours;



Also played a four player 8000pt game yesterday with LDP, Knightley and Knightleys brother, ended up being LDPs Ultramarines/Knightleys Grey Knights vs Hive Fleet Ngaro/Chaos Daemons. Was a very entertaining game with some awesome mini battles happening within the major conflict... here is a teaser pic:



Working on a bit of a summary write up at the moment so should have this up in next day or two, I'm sure there will be summaries popping up in other areas of Dakka forum as well

Thanks for reading.
