So yes i know this sounds a bit lame but today i picked up my first brand new death company set
am actually super excited to get started on this set, way too many ideas racing through my head
I finally cooled down when i decided to start up a blog with this project


i already picked out the prayer legs... then i rummaged through my little bits bin and pulled out the sanguinary guard
dual sided axe with wrist mounted bolter, grabbed an ordinary chest and im going to add prayers, and to finish it off its going to have a robbed head he is going to have a jump pack of course


sufficed to say, yes i had to get at least one guy sorted out before i could calm down, the squad is going to be an assault squad of course

i have my old school metal set for the non jumping DC im thinking about also adding my terminator (movie not unit) looking chaplain to the squad, i have an extra jump pack in my bits bin just add some chains should be awesome

similar ideas were occupying my mind for a good two hours, since i got home and opened the box, my first space marines were a squad of DC and this is the first time since then that i got another one, i seriously do love the stuff that come in the plastic sets, but at the same time i like the feel of the metal ones

please be advised, Lord Rahl has other projects waiting on the side lines that may interrupt this project, so do not be alarmed if all of a sudden he posts flayed ones, scourges, or any number of other xenos, but please expect work in progress photos to start appearing shortly

well a couple units have seen primer today, so in the mean time this is the chaplain i want to lead them into battle



so i ripped off his arm, it had a disgusting amount of glue, after i finished cleaning up that mess i grabbed a new arm, cut off the bp, and grabbed a storm bolter cut off its hand
he is going to sport a jump pack, and a BA shoulder pad from the DC box




i will upload more pics after i strip him

first pair of legs are are painted up

i forgot to take pictures of each layer, i followed the traditional pattern so far, im contemplating trying a glaze on the blood vials, and i guess he needs writing on his scroll
im going to do it all that at the same time i do it for the torso, i added a scroll to a blank torso from another set, i'll add the pic in my next post, hopefully with the next pair of legs


between coats i started on a cultist i had sitting on the sidelines for a while, and got started cutting up necron legs for my flayed conversion


i know the cultist doesn't look like much just yet, just has the base layer for his leather

so i didnt get much done last night,
i added some details to the next pair of legs,

the first layer of the blood drops, and the cloth, ropes, see not much



this is what i ended up doing for the body the pic is before the base coat



and of course i did some work on my brothers cultist




second coat on the leather, added some colour in his eyes, finished off his power pack, first layer of skin, added scab red to his scars

but sadly i didnt get any work done on the chaplain

[color=white]ok so i didnt get much done last night, i had a bit of a busy couple of days, but i did manage to practically finish off the second pair of legs,
and now both chests are primed, i primed an old school raptor, touched the chaplain




this cultist is practically done, did some work on the skin and washed it, he just needs some touch ups and he's done



i picked up a kijiji lot, with some raptors and jump marines, im going to strip the assault marines, because i dont wanna work with a blue base coat, besides there were two with a bad layer of purple ontop
which i started stripping... these im going to try a deadpool paint scheme on these guys for a commission, so im using watered down thinner with short dunks between scrubbing




anyway thats it for today's update, feel free to comment, and stay tuned for more updates, as my DC gets more interruptions

so i started painting his legs, it has its first red layer, and so does the head
im not sure you will guess the the inspiration for this paint scheme

well here is my update i got some work done on the scroll marine torso
excuse my rushed camera skills, i have to really play with the settings for it to focus properly



not much to say here painted up the torso, just needs the rivets, maybe add a couple blood vials, and of course to be glues together
after the rest of the model is finished im going to have to do some writing on the scroll


lets not forget the chaplain with the jump pack, base layer of the face and sculls are done, started up on the gold, dark red holster



a bit scary eh? i can already see him all painted up, going to start on his arm soon!

the final part of the update, strips rows first stripped jumper is painted up,



bet you can tell this is a deadpool commission even with the bad photo
this first one is going around with two bolt pistols, the arm is painted up and his body was finished up
the second guy on strip row has been stripped, im giving them new arms and saving these arms for ultra marines
except for the purple ones who need to be stripped or saved for terrain....


that's it for this update, again sorry for the bad quality photos

Death company update! the second body is done, the axe is done
writing on the scrolls are done, i should have taken a pic before adding the arms
he is just missing the jump pack, head and shoulder pad

well after missing a day here is a little update
i did some work on the chaplain as you can see



ok so i still haven't worked on the arm but the main body is almost finished
im going to finish up the gold and touch up the black then work on the arm

(jeez the gold looks really bad in the pic )

well the axe wielder is just missing the jump pack



his face is a little darker than what i was going for, but i still like it
i kind of wish they had more scull shoulder pads but this one is cool too


well i did start the second deadpool jumper but not much done painting wise yet
i finished a second jump pack, i wanted to reposition the leg a bit, two of them are going to have a bigger repositioning job
one will be doing a cannon ball, the other will be just as filled with giggles

small update today,
i got a bit of priming done, my metal themed nids are going to get a "little" more back up
i have a hand full of units probably just enough for a small game, but i have a big bug to add to their ranks
i got a bit more work done on the chaplain




he needs a couple touch ups
   
Made in ca

thanks to some crafting wire and green stuff the deadpool squad has an update




the second guy just needs his arms done, and the third guys pose is pretty cool
i drilled into the leg, glued the wire into place, applied some greenstuff and a day later i primed it


major distraction from working on my DC....



i got this guy recently, opened him up and washed the main body, i have primed the tail and the lower body sections that touch the base black
i dont really collect tyranids, but this guy was just too awesome to pass up (it also helped that it came in a lot with grey knights) im thinking im going to magnetize between his upper and lower torso so that i can use him for conversions later (slanesh princess, and other fun stuff)

let me start off with a DC update,



the chaplain got his arm and jump pack done and attached
im hoping to get some 3D transfers and attaching them to the jump pack
he got BA shoulder pad from the DC box, storm bolter from the same set
im kinda disappointed that one of the shoulder pads is mostly covered up by the jump pack
such a waste, i'll take a better picture when i base him, im going to get it done at the same time as the squad
and i might give him a bigger base, his boot keeps getting scratched up somehow


next up i had worked a bit on a grey knight



my GK's are all special this one has flames one one boot, a glove on the opposite hand, and on his helm
although i do like the metal models, the back packs they come with are bleh, so im giving him a left over one from the plastic GK kit
i just noticed im running low on elf grey, i gotta figure out what its new name is or i will be in trouble!


the deadpool squad has all its bodies painted up, just gotta finish up some arms and jump packs, then a bit of basing

You might want to thin your whites a little, it looks chalky. I hate painting white for that reason. If you don’t put on a zillion thin coats it always looks rough. Love the hazard stripes on the incinerator.

I hear you about the JP hiding the shoulder on the chaplain. Such if the price we pay to have him leaping over the battlefield purging our enemies, rather then footslogging across the battlefield.

@nevlon - the paint itself is very thin, i had forgot that it gets chalky on metal models

DP marine update!



this commission is almost complete, i had a couple set backs with the green stuff
i added a couple shoulder pads and arms from the DC marine pack
its been a while since i applied any transfers, i forgot what i use to apply on top of the shoulder pad
so they dont fall or get scratched up, just a few more jump packs before i base the rest of the squad

another DP marine update!



so this is how i went with the sword kind of a galaxy look to it, idk i like it, and below is the completed squad
i really need a better photography set up, i fixed the settings on the camera, but the beige back ground is not helping




rear:




now i can get back to focusing on my death company! and finish up my brothers scourges!

its wasn't digital zoom,
two spot lights in front and a spiral light ontop
i guess i have to play with my camera settings some more
i seriously hate auto focus... i wouldn't need to activate 4 different settings to get it to focus properly

ok im just coming out of a painting rut
did a bit of work on the DC, and started something new
almost done fixing the haqslam shoulders (apparently i had the wrong arms wth)


this is my newest project that got me out of my painting funk,
syria's freedom flag, the top shall will have dove feathers, and im thinking of giving her a giant pen?
fighting for freedom even after all the pain she has endured




more updates to come


 
   
Made in ca
Road-Raging Blood Angel Biker

im back,
did some more work on my freedom fighter
here she is just needing some touch ups



now the front



im quite content with how the converted arms turned out
so with Razan Zaitonehs birthday coming up, i thought i would dedicate this model to her
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Happy-Birthday-Razan/1597348203836799?ref=notif¬if_t=fbpage_fan_invite
so this is a quick mock up of the picture i want to take of this model



ill add better lighting, hopefully more rubble, ghost around the edges, and photoshop the flag in there maybe photoshop in a couple cats...

ok so here is the final image,
better lighting, more rubble, almost perfect




did some more work on the DC just have the head and arms left on two the last one still hasn't seen paint
poor DC keeps getting pushed back to finish other projects
hopefully i will finish them up by the end of the month


maybe i'll get back to my trygon!

updates have been slow...
fortunately the death squad i started the blog for is almost finished
many many distractions so far, for example im fixing up a devastator




as you can see all thats left is his pack,
and i panted him white death company colors
he had a scout bolter before, and i wasn't proud of the paint job so
strip and paint, give him a stern bolter with drilled out barrel
and an actual HB pack, imo he looks much better



 
   
Made in ca
Road-Raging Blood Angel Biker

ok so updates should start coming out regularly every couple days
so my white death devistator is all finished and can rejoin his freinds
the rest were some of my first paint jobs so dont judge




i didnt know i cant field things such as a stormzooka,
and i never finished my energy scythe so when i redo him that will poof




and before i forget i decided on the length for my hover bike hood...
finally...





now i gotta figure out a nice way of making the vent screen,
ideas would me helpful, the jump pack ones are a little small
the hood still needs alot of work, sanding and shaping
there will be a console and guns added... lots of guns
so any cheap little trick for the intake vent would be nice

unfortunately business had pulled me away from my workbench for a couple weeks

but i have returned, did some work on a wraith, i think the tail is pretty neat made from drill shavings
added the shoulder pads will need a bit of sanding, im working on three unique wraiths this would be the second of the set

moving on i started painting this sorcerer that i impulse bought at a GW grand opening
i washed it before i started painting it but the primer on the robes is scratching away
not sure if lacquering the primer before i start painting is a good idea or not i'll have to try it out on
a marine or something. the yellow went on nicely the gold needed shaking... again...
im thinking of exploring other brands for metallic colours to find a good one that doesn't require shaking

im back finally with a dc update!



now he has arms! decided double heavy meele for this squad hammer + axe
i gotta sneak on a bolt pistol on this guy like i did for the axe sry ik its blurry but whatever

back to the xeno distractions...



the sword broke! but i put it back on looks fine right? and of course the gun is blurred so it looks like his hand is still missing
thinking of redoing the boots to match his squad... the black and gold looks better
the skirt turned out just how i wanted it none of that hard two tone painting crap the high and low lights are more natural this way
but maybe i used the wrong under tone colour... purple under tone for the gloves of course




and of course this guy was a bit of a distraction
his second arm required some light GS and converting
wanted him with double chain weapons
working on his head next giving him orangy yellow hair

ok here is the update on the scourge
after i finished up the head the idea of painting the wings to match the hair hit me
so i tried it as an experiment it turned out better than i had imagined it
so i decided to film a tutorial with the other wing!



i mean just look at those blazing orange wings!
this pic is before i attached the second wing..
but i also attached a pistol to her hip for good measure
