Cant seem to get the hang of airbrush weathering yet, but built and painted a tank mounted general for a little nod to the “get me closer, let me hit them with my sword“ meme. He rolls in an executioner/eradicator/tl ac russ, pointed dead straight at the enemy...

The sheer amout of really cool models you are producing is amazing. Great work.

Your kind words of encouragement are greatly apprieciated, thanks for dropping in.

Put brush to pot last night, the cog detail on the hood isnt perfect but better than i expected on the first go.

Finished the tech priest.

Been making terrain.

Dark Angel's.

Better pic, Brother Israfael was badly wounded purging the world of Errowid of the canjax(large beastly xeno's with advanced tech), still serving the Lion and the Emperor as a Contemptor.

more WIP on the DA.

The red detail on the weapons and stripes on the armour is a really nice touch. Brings a lot of life into the models.

Thanks Manus, wanted to keep it simple while also keeping some kind of squad marking, the red stripe is a general 'Expeditionary force' marking..probably not fluff correct but, works for me. The other markings on the right pad are heraldry, the preator's mark is the chequered black and white which is going to be a theme throughout...held aloft are trophys from the crusades, the head of each warlord mounted to strike fear into the enemys of the Emperor.

++++Unit echo to base...<base receiving over>...Rebels have ambushed team Charlie, sector 345, moving round to provide cover fire...<Received Echo, proceed>++++

Preator Eliath swung his power claw through the rebel diving at him with a small knife, crude be they're weapons but furious was theyre determination...brother vet sarge Hadarial blasted another with his plasma pistol, white hot death giving the emperors mercy to another of the enemys number.

Skitarii preatorians. Counts as legion vets.

So, is the world of Errowid a reference to Erowid?

Well spotted.

Though I cant find the reference?

Great work, I particualrely like your ash wasters and those well-posed snipers.

Thanks dude. Those ash wasters are my all time fave conversion I have ever made.

I have been laying paint on my highest ranking Legionaries, some knights and a stormwing captain and his buddies, still un decided on the red guns and overall scheme.

++++--codename designation: Lions paw--++++

Transmission from fleet command, orders are to break away from the formation and assume holding pattern near the Odessa system and rendezvous with a trader fleet. The lion himself has signed this of as top secret, So operational security is paramount. A large selection of hand picked legionnaires from storm, raven and Ghost wings have been tasked and deployed to your command Chapter master Rubiel I trust you will use them wisely. Mission brief is encrypted and follows on secure channels. It's a long way to Odessa, timing is key so you better get going.. For the Lion, for caliban and for the Emperor. ++++---end transmission.

Rubiel carry ' s one of the most sacred relics of the dark ages from the vaults of caliban, made of an obscure compound similar to terran diamond but with the novel ability to absorb light energy, and discharge it in flashes of light, tearing the very particles it contacts with into pieces with photons. Wielded by Lionel j'ohnson during the cleansing of Darco Thane III, it was awarded to Rubiel upon being awarded the title of chapter master for his part in the campaign.

Stats are as paragon blade with +2 Initiative, blind and master crafted.

Scion x skitarii = imperial army/solar auxilia

So the command squad for my rogue trader militant has come together.

I like the vanguard heads but not on skitarii for some reason.

Rogue trader Militant and Code name Alpharius.

Base coated skitarii and the rogue traders security detail (counts as solar aux)

So i had this idea, a special character for my guard who rides a dinosaur.

That's a cool model. Where is the dinosaur figur from?

I forget the range but i got it from a garden centre, toy section. toys are us best bet i think. Thanks for the kind words, i like his side burns..

I picked up a joblot last year, including some orks n grots. Savage orks on boar etc. Even a grot buggy with sail....also 2nd ed metal eldar, some 1s t ed, and a ton of old citadel paints that still work, where modern gw are dry.

After a wash.

Good stuff! I like the tone of skin you achieved on the orks! Dino rider is sweet too but you knew that

What surprised me was the outdoor photos of your terrain and minis at the end there, it looked really cool! I've been struggling lately with the lighting in my game room so that struck me as really cool looking.

Keep it up!
