Cheers I'm trying to get my photo skills together at the moment. My camera is rather ancient and I'm still trying to work out how to use my photo tent.

I want to do some army profiles of the figures I've painted so far, so watch this space .

I finished another base for my Skyrar's Dark Wolves this time for one of the Wolf Guard.

I feel like I'm teasing you with these pics and no minis

There is a third long leaf but its hidden by the other two in the photo.

Thanks Gits

Today what I thought was going to be quick took ages, I took some pictures of my World Eaters minis and created what I think is an Army Profile which can be found here World Eaters Army Profile. As I don't have a cabinet to keep my minis in its great for me to see what I've got at a glance and also hopefully makes it easier for you to see my finished minis without having to go through loads of pages.

I've also taken pics of my Thousands Sons as well and will be doing the same with them shortly.

This will kind of be like my glass cabinets

Cheers Skalk I'm hoping a full army with this style of basing is going to look impressive, It all comes down to the minis that are going to be on the base now lol

---------------------------------------------

I had to stay up into the early hours last night to do some stuff for work in between doing bits I finished painting my first Emperors Children terminator at 4am this morning! Purple is such a hard colour to paint and the mini was a right pain to catch on camera as well, the last shot is the best she doesn't like having a white background so it was a last ditch attempt to get the angle I wanted.

So here she is









She looks loads better in real life just a tad camera shy. Her leather top is actually painted with a coat of gloss to give it a nice shine but you wont see that in the pics as she was being modest for this photo shoot.

Also I just finished working on my Thousand Sons army profile as well which can be found here Thousand Sons Army Profile

I'm off to curl up and get some sleep now or finish painting another Dark Wolves base.

Some more pictures of the Emperors Children Terminator with the light a bit better this time.







Heres a size comparison shot next to one of my test marines, she's huge and that's without high heals

She looks great, and she is really quite monstrous isn't she? Bet she'd make an interesting dance partner. Bases look great too btw.

Cheers Neil she must work out a lot lol. Glad you like the basing your ash board is very inspiring and I'd like to carry that thought over into an army but cant think of one at the moment.

My list of basing ideas/themes is currently taking off at a rapid pace as per the below, this hobby could well have me tied to it for many years considering I can do two 1500 point armys a year.

Chaos (all four powers) - Ice
Dark Wolves - Forest
Necron - Beach
Orks - Snow
Howling Griffons - Hive World/Steam punk
Ultra Marines - Green Flock/army base
Grey knights - Ruined Temple
Night Lords - Ruined city at Night
Imperial Beastmen - Jungle/Avatar style - Fiber optics
? Ash
Eldar - Muddy Battlefield / barbed wire / tank bits
Red Scorpions - Red dusty canyon
Omega Marines - Mountain
Pre Heresy Dark Angels - Desert
Celestial Lions - Lava
Blood Angel - Sky - 100% flying models no ground
Tyranid? - Intact temple

It's felt like ages since I updated this thread.

The girls take a lot of work to build and paint, the filing out of the chest plate takes a good few hours and drives me mad. But I've finished number 2 now. Just two more to go.

I did have an issue sourcing parts for the wing on the shoulder pad and tried to make some the weekend just gone but failed miserably. I was quite lucky to find a bits site I haven't used before tonight which had enough left in stock to finish the other two girls with a spare for another project but that depends if I can source another 5 of them!

Here she is in all her glory

Nice purple... good purples are about as rare as good yellows. Very nice work on the conversion... impressive.

Thanks Gits, you're right about the purple which is why its taking me ages to paint them as two of the three layers are mixed with other colours. I had real issues getting purple to look purple to start with.

Cheers fallen So many ideas and not enough time and money.

I'm waiting to see what's in the Chaos Legion codex for the Night Lords before I look more into them, my idea was using the Blood Angel codex.

While I was getting the other two girls ready today I started working on my World Eaters Vindicator.

Here's a few shots to start you off with, the LED light is a flashing one this time, as well as the cannon the skulls eyes on top also flash red like this lol.

Ah Miss Dee the cannon is from the WFB Ogre Kingdoms Ironblaster and the answer to your question the other day the purple I'm using is Vallejo Hexed Lichen, sorry forgot to answer that one.

Today we have a few more shots of the work I did on the Vindicator this morning, I'll be adding the dozer blade towards the end of the painting.





I also have another base for my Dark Wolves to show you.



I have one more 60mm base to do which if all goes to plan should look quite stunning.
