Hi guys,

It's editing time for the initial post.
Don't like to see all those WIP pics anymore. They remind me of how much more work there is still to do. ^^
I will keep this blog up until the whole army is finished. So have fun with the stuff I'm uploading.

Cheers,
Enzephalon

My scout sniper squad with converted backpacks and a kitbashed sergeant:















Sergeant with the added antenna:

Had two hours of spare time yesterday and decided to assemble my Death company dreadnought. I opened up his claws a bit. Give him a much more menacing look.
I also went for a very dynamic pose I think.
He was also lucky to get some shiny parts.
Hope you like him.

Awesome! I am really liking what you are doing with these. A couple of questions:

Where did you get that grim reaper looking bit? Likewise, where did those helmets come from that you have on the sanguinary guard?

The reaper banner is actually the banner of the Empire General from Warhammer Fantasy.
The helmets on my honour guard derive from Scibor Miniatures.
; )

very nice. Love the DC furioso. what did you do to build up the bases?

Really nice models, the conversions are really good, looking forward to seeing more painted!

Magerk wrote:very nice. Love the DC furioso. what did you do to build up the bases?

Sadly I can't take credit for the base of the dreadnought since it is the scenic base which is delivered with the kit.
But I did the other bases with corkboard, some sort of modelling granulate and sand.

I hope to finish something else soon. Stay tuned!

Hey guys,
Exams take a lot of time, so only little work can be done.

Here is recent creation. A twin linked assault cannon converted from the heavy bolter sponson and assault cannon bits from a bitz shop.
Don't know from what kit they derive.

Critic and comments are allways appreciated.

Great use of the AoBR set, liking the poses. Not too sure on the storm shields but i'm sure paint will bring it all together.

Keep it coming!

Very nice work here. I like the assault cannon option. Very nice. I kind of miss the spikes on the front though. I think they could have been incorporated in somehow through paint job alone but I see what you mean about looking chaosy.

They are not completely gone.
As I said they have not been glued on yet. So they are still an option.
; )

Any ideas how to paint them?
Maybe they would look better on a DC rhino...

A quick update.
It's a slow process I have to admit. Having only little free time is a pain in the "A to ss".

Comments are always appreciated.

BAAL PREDATOR:







DC DREADNOUGHT:

Little update.... Progress is achieved only step by step since University steals all my time.
Got an army shot showing the 2150 points worth of bloodthirsty bastards I will unleash upon my friends Black Templars tomorrow.

Awesome looking army, great conversions!

looking good dude!

Hey guys,
I was very busy the last days.
Painted up my Death company, my Reclusiarch and the sanguinary priest. They are not 100% finished yet.

I will post pictures of them in the next few days.
Tried it with the DC but the night has come and the lighting is terrible.



But it's enough for the conversions I made.
Behold my Assault Terminators with a Sanguinary Priest in TDA.



First one:





Second one:





Third one:




Sanguinary Priest:


The last two guys will be attached to another base and the priest will get a bare head instead of the helmet.

Hope you like them!

My WIP Vanguard Veteran.

Hi guys,
Finished this little bastard today. He is converted from a Space Hulk Terminator and got some FW - shoulder pad love.
I hope you like him.

These look fantastic.

Will be following this with interest , I dont play BA , but I love your posing , lots of ideas.

Nicely done I am a big fan of the unique looking termies

Thanks guys.
I hope I have the time to paint the other ones soon.

Loving the Space Hulk conversions! Some nice work on this thread! Consider it followed! I will steal some of your ideas for my Blood Angels

Do as you please.
I borrowed some of these ideas myself.
; )

I call you a LIAR for saying your fairly new! You sir, are a master! just everything of your ary reeks of awesome!

Solid performance all around.
Great painting, wonderful use of bits and excellent poses.

If this is some of your first work then by god Golden Demon awards are to follow.

I'm really productive since the University stopped annoying me for the summer... ^^
I painted up the buddy for my terminator.

First one:






Second one:





Best friends 4-EVAR!!!

Some thoughts on the unit composition for my Terminators? My current idea on the squad itself is to go for 4 LC and only one TH/SS. Priest and Librarian will be attached.
Any ideas?

Hi there,
Today I completed the third Terminator of my Assault Terminator squad.
Hope you like him.


Just realized that I missed out one of the jewels on his left shoulder. I will finish this up soon.

Your Blood Angels are really nice I especially like the Terminators, they just scream out CLASS to me.

Keep up the excellent work, I'm going to subscribe to this thread. You have some quality conversions and the painting skills to go with them

Thank you kind sir.
I highly appreciate your feedback.

I give my best to achieve better results with every piece of work, but I'm well aware that I am far from many of those amazing things floating around Dakka.

I haven't even started to try some of the advanced techniques like blending because I would horribly fail at it. ^^

But I give my best to improve and comments like yours motivate me to go on with it.

Hi folks,
I finished my Reclusiarch. Started him a while ago but today was his big day.
Gotta love this model. He is so epic I refused to do conversions on him.

Comments are highly appreciated, as allways.








FAMILY PORTRAIT ^^

That chaplain was one of the most badass model GW have ever produced and that model definitely does it justice

Asylum_Inmate wrote:That chaplain was one of the most badass model GW have ever produced and that model definitely does it justice

He certainly is. I really enjoyed painting him although he's metal.

Nicley done, although I always love seeing the the knight helmet marine in the AOBR set.

Really cool looking chaplain

Phantom wrote:Nicley done, although I always love seeing the the knight helmet marine in the AOBR set.

Are you referring to the Chaplain?
Because I do not know which guy out of the AoBR set you think of....

The first picture on your blog, 1st page.

Phantom wrote:The first picture on your blog, 1st page.

Oh... stupid me. ^^
I will finish him tomorrow if you like and post the result.
I was a little bit lazy concerning the tactical squad, because I do not field them so often.

Thanks, also I know BA do not usually field tacticals due to more BA players focusing on assault oriented units, so do not feel the rush of completting(spell?) it.

that is a beautiful chaplain. I agree with all the comments about the model It is my belief that it is actually the best one they have ever produced.

As to your painting it is impressive! I love the alternating colour on the shin armour (grieves?). I note you said that you do not feel up to painting more advanced techniques. Take it from a painter recently in a similar position - you have no need to worry, so go for it! We'll all support you and the satisfaction is immense!

@Phantom
Indeed... Tacticals aren't really that popular with BA, but hey... Today a five man squad of tacticals won me a game. To be more specific. It was the Sergeant. He was alone on turn six. Survived the shooting of two Assault Cannons, making 5 armour saves, just to run into 3" range of the objective in my turn. Crawling there on his knees the last inches to be exact. ^^
It was really epic. I have to consider giving him another purity seal for this deed of duty.

@Taffiarti
Thanks for your cheering. I might give it a try. Although I think I will implement it on my Dark Eldar and not on my BA, just for coherency in the painting.

Congrats, also how did the Chaplain do?

Phantom wrote:Congrats, also how did the Chaplain do?

I haven't fielded him to be honest.
The terminators are not very useful in low points games.


AND....

Here is the tactical marine:








Automatically Appended Next Post:
Hi guys,
Todays upload is my recently finished Sanguinary Priest and his buddy... the leader of my DC. Of course... There is no such thing as a leader of a squad of DC, rulewise. But I like the idea that a bunch of crazy nuts is lead into field by a even bigger maniac, refusing to die in several battles. ^^

Btw. The priest was a royal pain to paint. I really suck at painting this bone colour on the flat parts of the armour. Took me ages to get it right without major streaks from the brush, but I'm still not happy.

Another sidenote. The priest is one rare model in my growing army with no major conversion done. Besides the little chalice on his backpack. Fluff wise he carries a chalice with him but I do not like the idea or holding a oversized chalice in his hand like Corbulo. It is just silly to go to war with a cup in your hand.

Last thing to say. The banner will get a free hand motif if once I will acquire enough skill to do one.

Enjoy...
And do not hold back any comments or critic...


PRIEST:











DC LEADER:









... and his unfinished Brethren waiting for some more paint.



Yeahh.... I suck at painting faces too. If you have a close look you can see that the eyes of the DC guy look kinda weird. I'm really glad that he is wearing a hood. ^^

Some work in progress....

I converted and started painting my Librarian a while ago.
I replaced the dumb looking book with a hand and gave him a cool little banner.





And because I got bored painting my soldiers today I built me a regular Reclusiarch without TDA so I do not have to proxy him all the time with the TDA Reclusiarch... Which is kinda funny though. ^^








Automatically Appended Next Post:
And last but definetly not least. One of my favorite miniatures GW has yet created.
The TDA Librarian with a minor conversion.

Ever worried about your Stormshield being too small?
Do not worry no more!









Yes. It looks very much like being a Templars shield, but it's just plain awesome. I had to have it on this guy!

Can you imagine him going with the TDA Reclusiarch, the Assault Terminators and a TDA Priest in a Landraider?
I definetly can. And he will smack some faces. ^^

Great work man, I also noticed the bolter conversion on the AOBR marine and I thank you for taking time to paint it. I was also wondering where did you get the shoulder pad on the power fist for your DC leader.

I'm really happy that you noticed it. I used the spare bolters of my Death Company to give my tacticals a little bit of Blood Angel flavour. ^^

I had to lie if I was saying that I know exactly where I got this bit from.

A.) It was part of a vehicle kit

B.) It bought it with a lot of other stuff from a bitz-store

I'm more tending towards variant A but I can't remember for the life of me. ^^


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Btw. Any suggestions concerning which one I'm going to paint next? ^^

Today I managed to paint up this little guy.
It was time to build me a PA Reclusiarch. I proxied him the last few games with my TDA guy. This was not a real good solution for obvious reasons.

I bulit him a few days ago with bits I once ordered for him and today I managed to completely paint him.

Hope you like it.

Looks great man... keep up the good work.

Exalted!

Awesome use of parts! Loving the Space Hulk terms!

Did you use power armour parts for your scout? Looks great!

Subscribed

I love how you pose your minis and how fast you pump each one after another

May I ask how did you convert the space hulks left arms

I myself am trying to do just so and fail doing so

Wow. This is awesome, all of it.
I'm Subscribed.

@Emperors_Champion:
Yes. I used power armour parts for the scout sergeant. I left away the shoulder pads to make him look more "scouty".

@Looks Infected:
Just have a look at my other thread. The one for the converted Termis. I posted pictures there. If you have further questions then feel free to ask.

These are absolutely lovely. I've got a Death Company Dread still unassembled and you've given me some great inspiration. I'm a big fan of the use of green on the Reclusiarch - it looks fantastic and contrasts really well. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.

Go for the DC. And send me your results when you're done. They get not as much love as they deserve, in general.

Quick update:
One of my Attack bikes is finished!

That's one awesome attack bike. I love the weathering and that nice rich gold.

Great work dude! Good mix of kits and cool posing and conversions all wrapped up with a great paintjob, keep it up!

Phantom wrote:Great work man, I also noticed the bolter conversion on the AOBR marine and I thank you for taking time to paint it. I was also wondering where did you get the shoulder pad on the power fist for your DC leader.

iirc, the bit is from the DA ravenwing sprue, full of cool goodies!

Hi guys,
Had another free day for painting so i finished up this Librarian.
I love this miniature and did only a minor conversion for gaming reasons (storm shield).

I messed up his glowing eyes. Will fix that later but I ran out of time.
How do you like him?

That' looks great! The eyes do need fixing up as you say, but otherwise he is very nicely done! I like that storm shield. Is it a Scibor one?

Yah... I know...
I ran out of time and just slapped some sloppy dots of paint into his face. I regret it cause now I have to fix it, but I'll manage that. ^^

The shield is from Scibor. The Templar shield set. It comes with this big one and two smaller ones. I wasn't sure about it at first, because some people might think it looks too "templerish", but you can do a lot with the right paintjob.

^I knew that shield was from Scibor.They have some great stuff there! The shield doesn't look too "tempelerish" at all. I use the Scibor Spartan shields for my Ultramarines army! They're great.

Hi guys,
Finished my conversion of Mephiston today.
To be honest. I'm pretty proud of the outcome since it was an assload of work.
; )

Hope you like him too.
Tell me what you think.

I hope that I can paint him as soon as possible.

Looks epic, although its hard too see with it being black n' all.
I suppose you'll just have to paint it up for us to see

Hi guys.
May I introduce you to the Chief Librarian of the Blood Angels... The Lord of Death himself....

---MEPHISTON---

Uploaded my finished conversion yesterday. Today it was painting time. Hell yeah!
Hope you like him.








And for size comparison... a shot of my gathered HQ. Librarian in Terminator armour, Mephiston and my Reclusiarch....
Forgot about the Reclusiarch in Termy Armour...

Hi guys,

FINALLY I got around painting my first vehicle ever (first tank to be true... not counting the attack bike).
It was a pain to even find out how to do it.
The thing is that I'm painting my infantry using washes quite a bit, which is not possible on a tank (at least I'm not able to do it properly ^^)

So I had to find a solution painting my vehicles without using GW washes, but somehow matching the tone of the infantry.
It literally took me months to finally sit down for two hours and try it out on several plastic parts.

In the end I achieved something which I would call a matching tone. ^^

To make a long story short. I hate painting vehicles and I'm no good at it.
Annoying thing is that I have five more to go. ^^

Have fun though.









Ps.: Did some minor conversion work on this model to properly represent the Lucifer pattern engines which make it a fast vehicle as you might know.

Looks sweet, I'd say it's a great job for your first tank. (Then again I've never painted a tank)

Hi guys,
Second day of painting this week ... second tank finished.
I have to say it was a lot less annoying than the first one, now that I have my recipe.

Weathering and battle damage is still to come, but I have to practise that somewhere else first. ^^

Talking about the model itself:
It has some Fowrgeworld parts on it and I converted the weapons to fit the Lascannon/Twin linked plasma gun option from the codex.
Weapons are magnetized too.

Have fun.

Hi guys,

Another vehicle for my army.
It's a Baal Predator with a conversion to represent the Lucifer pattern engine which makes it a fast vehicle.

Hope you like it.

Really nice tanks man! They look great.

I really like this army. Great job, the vibrant red is a great color. I like the bike with the side car the best, one of my favorite units and yours is awesome.
I also like MEPHISTON'S power sword, i like to do chaos power swords in a similar manor.

keep up the good work.

Really nice looking blood angels you got there. I love the librarian and your vehicles aren't too shabby.

I'm curious as to how the assault cannon razorback performs? I was planning on building one as well.

Cave_Dweller wrote:Really nice looking blood angels you got there. I love the librarian and your vehicles aren't too shabby.

Thank you for your kind response.
Speaking about the Assault cannon. It never underperformed for me. I allways run 2-4 depending on the list (2 on razorbacks, 1--2 Baal Predators).
They play havoc with light infantry and due to rending they are also able to harm light vehicles.
I also do like the amount of shots they pump out, rerolling to hit because of twin-linked.
I never leave the house without em.

You can't really compare them to the Las/Plas variant (I field one of these as well every game), because they fulfill a different function in the army.
I field two Predators with Auto cannon/Lascannon and my bikes for the anti-tank. So one Las/plas is enough for my needs.

Keep in mind that I do not play a spammy "uber-competitive" netlist and that I'm no WAAC power gamer.

Hi guys,
Something new.
I managed to finish this model.
It's a Sanguinary priest in terminator armour for my WIP assault terminator squad.

It's a conversion from a Space Hulk terminator and a few Grey Knight bits.
He is completely wysiwyg as he is swinging a power weapon. I decided to go for a staff because it makes him look much more like I imagine a priest of the 40k millenium.

Enjoy....









Next to his power armoured little friend for size comparison:

Hi guys,
Long time no see. University is keeping me busy, but not a single crap was given today because I decided to paint something.
I decided to go for the DC Razorback because I thought it would take the least amount of time. Turned out to be wrong. ^^
Took me quite some time to be honest.

Though here it is in all it's glory. Used some FW parts and drilled out all the barrels. Even DC chaplain approves the new taxi for his crazy guys. ^^

I hope you like it.
Comments of any kind are appreciated.

That's looking very snazy! I like it.

Hi fellows,
I saved myself some time to paint this little guy. He was sitting on my shelf since I started this hobby buying the AoBR set about one year ago.
To make some use of him I gave him the spare frag cannon arm from the Furioso kit ( I built a DC dread drom it.).

I think he turned out ok.

Have fun watching.










Dreadnought + guy in tactical dreadnought armour ^^

Hi,

I decided to paint up my Assault marine sergeant.
He saved my ass many times during the last games and so I thought he earned it. ^^

I will add some freehand on the banner once I acquired the skill.

Have fun.





[img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/

Your recent work looks awesome. I'm loving the assault sergeant and that dreadnought is really nice!
Keep it up!

Really nice stuff going on here, well done!

Great looking army coming together here! Really liking your pose's as well as your painting style!

Any chance of a group shot at some point?

Thanks for your kind comments. Thats partly what keeps me going.
; )

And as a special treat I show off an army shot of the stuff I painted completely. There is still a lot do!

Sorry for the quality of the pictures, but I do not have the equipment here to properly photograph the whole lot.

Hope you like them though.

With flash:


Without:

Hi guys,

First of all. This was intense.
I thought I could paint this thing in a days work. I've been proven horribly wrong.
Took me three days of painting.
25 hours of work I'd say.
Can't tell you how happy I am that it is finally finished. ^^

Some of you might have seen the unpainted conversion. (There are a lot of bits and forgeworld parts involved)
I have been told that it might look too busy, but now that it is painted I think it looks quite decent.

From the group shot you can tell that it will carry assault terminators to battle.
Since they are all veterans I thought it woud be adequate if the crew were also veterans. So according to the ne BA fluff I painted their helmets golden.

What do you think?

Nice paint job on the crusader. The overall model appears a bit too busy and I'm not sure about the top turret but overall still looks very cool. Is the extra armor a forgeworld kit?

Eggroll wrote:Nice paint job on the crusader. The overall model appears a bit too busy and I'm not sure about the top turret but overall still looks very cool. Is the extra armor a forgeworld kit?

Hi eggroll,
As a fan of your work I really appreciate your comment.

Concerning the turret. I wanted to have the guy with the book (it's a spare part from my librarian where I replaced it with a normal hand) stick out somewhere. It wasn't looking nicely using the hatch on the hull, because the multimelta was distracting from it. So I went for the turret with a hatch on top. No distraction anymore, and on the plus side it's also very unique. ^^

About the business. I do understand that people think that way, but if you had a look at my other stuff it fits my army. I like it to be over the top, because I think that's what 40k is all about. It doesn't take itself so serious sometimes. ^^

The extra armour is indeed a Forgeworld kit. It's a bit pricey, but I think it adds a lot to the overall appearence. Be warned though. It's an assload of work to straighten all the warped parts and to attach it properly to the vehicle, because you have to file of a lot of stuff that is in the way.

one orkmoticon describes this whole thing Not sure bout the Scout Sargie's head. The eyes as they are going up look as if they are getting shot back, as if he himself was shot in the head by a light gun like a lasgun. But otherwise: WOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWwWWWWWWW!

Thanks man, for your kind words.
Concerning your comment on the Sgt.
I built him before I was introduced to the magic of green stuff. That's why the head sits deep in the armour, and that's why he is looking up.
I wasn't so happy with it myself but if you look at him in real life you see him from a completely different angle and it looks more like he is looking at something terrible approaching from the skies, or as if he stands in front of a monstrous creature or a dreadnought.
But if I'm able to detach the head with minor effort I will reposition it.

Cool. Will subscribe

I think your tank work is just fine. There is room for improvement, but that can always be said. if I suggested something it would have to be muting the smoke affects but in my mind that is a non issue. I think your tanks are a great first try and are more then ready for table top. I also love your LR, and as far as "busy" goes I have got to say these are Blood angles! There are baroque, psychos obsessed with imagery. So I’m going to have to say that you nailed it. Keep it up and I’ll keep watching.

Hi guys,

I painted two of my TH/SS terminators today.
Finally I can field a whole unit of them.
Tomorrow will be their big day. First battle in the name of Sanguinius! ^^

Ps.: Forgot to do the scroll work, but took the pictures already. Hope you do not mind.

WOW!

TERMES FTW!

Hi guys,

Painting all the fancy things in my army I totally neglected my most important guys: my troops.
Namely my assault marines which never fail at saving my ass.
So I thought I give them some painting love.

I hope you like them:

Guy 1:








Guy 2:






Group shot with sergeant:

Hi guys,

My plan for today was to do at least two more assault marines, but then I got distracted by shiny things.
My Furioso librarian namely.

I have him standing on my desk for over a year now. I thought it was time to paint him up to finally be able to field him.

I tried to get the same colour on him as on my TDA librarian. I forgot the recipe but I think it's pretty close. ^^

This has been done in 7 hours of painting.

Hope you like him.

Love the blue on both these guys - great depth to it.

This is a very cool thread throughout (I already plan on stealing your Mephiston idea). How did you achieve the force weapon effect on the Furioso?

Cheers Laney

Hi Laney,
Glad you like them.

The effect for my power weapons is allways the same. Base coat orkhide shade. "Lightning pattern" with snot green, followed by a lightning pattern with goblin green (thinner and fewer lines). Finish it off with a wash of thraka green.
; )


UPDATE:

Painted two more assault marines. Now I have a fully painted 5 men squad.

Guy 3:







Guy 4:








Full Squad:

"Ten guys out of one box!"

I admit it. The statement isn't entirely true. You need a box of scouts AND a box of a landspeeder storm.

First things first. I was planning to use a landspeeder in one of my lists, but I do not like the look of it. It's just too small for my taste.
So I made plans to convert a landspeeder storm into and regular landspeeder. This left me with a whole bunch of scout parts, which is quite handy because I was planning to build me some scouts anyway.
Two flies with one clap.

Now I just needed to buy me a box of scouts to try to make the parts of the landspeeder crew work.

Well.... And this is what I have come up with.
Hope you like them. I have parts to build four more.

I think this is a quite effective kitbash if you are planning to build landspeeders + scouts, because you can get a lot out of them, and they look quite cool.

They are obviously WIP. A lot of gap filling/filing and painting is needed.

(The heads are fro Pig Iron Studios btw. Regular scout heads are aweful)

:WOW:

Hi guys,

Painted the first close combat scout today
Hope you like him.

WIth his buddies:

I like your work. Especially the Highlighting on the painted ones.

Keep it up!

painted scouts! LOVE PAINTED SCOUTS!

I painted two more today.
They are quickly done in comparison to other models.
And the more I paint them the more I think that the Pig Iron helmets are pretty awesome. ^^





This is my favorite so far:

Awesome stuff keep it up. Love the conversion's.

Great job on these models.

New scouts look good too, like that helmet.

Keep it up

PIGGY HELMETS! But were are the snouts? LOL!

Hi guys,

Today I present you some WIP pictures of the landspeeder.
Since BA aren't allowed to use the actual landspeeder storm I closed the doors and built me a regular speeder. It's bigger than a regular one but that is perfectly fine with me since I think the size and appearence of the regular speeder is quite stupid.

There is obviously still a lot to do (Liquid greenstuff will be used extensively ^^).
What do you think so far?

Not bad. Needs PAINT!!!

Stuckie

My plan was to paint this speeder, but since I do not have so much time right now I added two scouts to my squad. Hope you like them.
; )

Sergeant







Close combat guy







Group shot

scouts look good. the army is coming along nicely

I'm really liking those scouts. They are so dynamic!
Those heads also work surprisingly well.

The scouts look amazing (spot on with the heads), really dynamic. That's an excellent conversion on the combi-melta for the sarge too! (More ideas to steal)

I like the closed in look of the land speeder - makes more sense than the open type.

Cheers Laney

Hi guys,

I still haven't been able to paint my speeder yet, so I did some more marines.

I hope you like them.

First guy:







Second guy:







Group shot:

Although, the melta marines could use some variety in poses.

Your painting is looking superb!

Hi guys,
Today I painted the remaining three guys of this squad and I have to tell you... it was intense.
I started at 11 a.m. and was done around midnight.
It was worth it though. Finally I'm able to field a fully painted 10 men assault squad. The most iconic unit of every blood angel army.

Hope you like them.



First guy:







Second guy:







Third guy:







Group shot with sanguinary priest:

Oh, I really like those assault marines!

They are a really 'stand out' unit and will look great on the battlefield.

Hi guys,
I finally painted my landspeeder. The second multimelta option (including a marine) isn't painted yet, though.

I consider the speeder/scout squad as my best kitbash/conversion to this point (not including single models like HQ).
It's fairly well executed me thinks, considering the fact that it was my first use of plastic card.

I hope you enjoy it!

Greetings, Tom

Single multi melta:

The speeder looks cool, but the assault squad is just amazing. Great colour combinations and the old school melta weapons look top notch!

Thanks man.
I appreciate it.

Hi guys,

This guy was one of my very first conversions. He's been sitting on my desk for over one and a half year. Mainly because I rarely field him.
Today I had the time to finish him.
Enjoy.

:WOW:

Hi guys,

I seem to have a run this week.
Another day another miniature.
Today I present you my second attack bike. I love these guys, although they let me down the last game. Probably bad kharma because I haven't completed them for so long. ^^

I hope you like them.

Such a great looking BA army.

Can't wait to see more.

D

I will soon deliver some more. My goal is to finally be able to field a usable completely painted army of 1750 points within the next weeks.

Hi guys,

Today I present you something different. A black templar. I haven't stopped painting blood angels by any means.
This will be a gift for my gaming buddy. He owns a beautifully painted black templars army, but I think he will appreciate it nevertheless.

Hope you like him.

Nice.

Hi guys,
After an unplanned break I present to you my newest piece.
Finally I had the time to paint my second Predator. These badasses are my working horses. They are the backbone of every list I build. It's a shame that I haven't painted them earlier.

I forgot to add the dirt to the exhausts before taking the pictures though.

Hope you like it.

Seriously dude, you are a BEAST. Like, a real BEAST of a painter. Ever considered Eavy Metal?

Hey.
I really appreciate your compliment, and it seems like my style of painting matches your taste in miniatures.
But I do not see myself near the standards of Eavy Metal by any means. I'm not using any fancy techniques, and my painting is very sloppy in places.

Thank you nevertheless.
I'm glad you enjoy my work.

Oh wow, I love all your stuff (especially your dreadnought!) Really great work, looking forward to more xxx

Thank you. I try to upload some more the next week.

Great work here, making good progress man!

Pretty impressive stuff here, keep up the good work!!!

LOVE those predators.
Great paint jobs!

And the Crewman looking through the Binoculars... GENIUS!

^This.

Also, you mentioned you were hoping to have a 1750 point list fully paintedn and ready to roll, how's that coming along?

Sorry if you've already posted the list, but what are you planning on running.

Keep it up

D

This is for Evilcheese.
Some pictures of the army.
I forgot to include the Furioso scriptor in the picture of my 1750 army.
I have to say, that this is not what I'm usually playing, but it's my first fully painted 1750 points army that has no ridiculous composition, and makes at least some sense. ^^

1750:








And now all the stuff I have fully painted so far:








Hope you enjoyed it.

Cheers Enzephalon.

Amazing models, and a cool 1750 list from what I can make out.

What are you planning on painting next?

D

The next things to come are my regular librarian, my tactical squad, a vindicator, a Baal predator and my death company.

Man you're such a trooper!

I wish I could churn out minis of similar quality in the time frames that you do.

Love the first army shot. The armies size makes every single lad look unique!

Hi guys,
Long time no see.
Had a lot of stuff to do recently so I haven't been able to do much painting.
But today I found the time to finish my Vindicator.

It has been sitting on my shelf for quite some time now, because I rarely use it.
But with the rule changes of 6th edition I might field him more often.

He can be fielded as a Rhino too as you can see.

Enjoy!

Nice job on the conversion. Looks like a rhino with extra armour without the cannon and dozer blade. Look forward to seeing more BA stuff from you.

Anything? C'mon Enzie, ur fans are waiting!

I didn't know I had any fans. ^^

It was a busy time, since I moved town and started a new job, but I will add some things as soon as possible.!

Thanks!

Tasty tasty Vindi, great paint job as ever, and a sleek conversion to use it as a Rhino as well.. Greaat work.

The 6th rules are certainly a boon for the Vindi.

D

Anything?

Hey Dread....
This is for you.
; )

I'm really sorry for not uploading anything.
But working on my master thesis leaves close to no time for painting stuff, since I find it hard to concentrate after working in the laboratory all day.
Anyhow...
I grew a pair, sat down and painted my librarian today.

He was sitting on my shelf for too long but now he is ready for action.
I can equip him with a jetpack if I need too.








My favourite picture:

Do the evolution....
Librirtle, Librortle and Libroise.

I haven't been lazy by the way.
Since converting does not exhaust me at all I've done a lot of it instead of painting.

I built a 2000 points Dark Eldar ármy and started this squad of Sternguard.

They will all get the fancy bolters you can see on the first guy.

Guy 1:







Guy 2:







Heavy flamer guy, built with leftovers from the Space Hulk termies I converted:







Librarian for some divination shenanigans. Converted DV model:





Banner guy:





Group shot:

Good work sir

Stand outs would be the Space Hulk conversions and the Memphiston conversion.

Keep it going!

Hey guys,

Today I'm here to present you my version of Sanguinius.
It's 95% finished. Some finishing touches are still needed, but overall I'm pretty happy, especially since I'm not that experienced using green stuff.

The idea is not new, and the credit for using the Necron nightbringer model as a base goes to at least three other guys.
But the idea impressed me so much that I needed to have my own.
Paid about 50 $ for the nightbringer and the wings. A hefty price tag for a single model, but compared to the new Angron model of FW it's a bargain. ^^

So...
Tell me what you think before I slap some paint on it.

Very cool stuff indeed. Sangunius is turning out pretty well.

Love the shot of tri-librarians.

D

Hi guys,

Here's to you...

Sanguinius himself!!!

This is for sure my most expensive single miniature, and the one with the most difficult conversion work.

I'll have to touch up his wings, but in general I'm happy how he turned out.

Hope you like him.

Oh it's a hood on his head, that wasn't clear from the WIP pics.

Nice job, I'd love to have a Sanguinius model, but I think I'll be lazy and wait for FW to release one.

I'm looking forward to see FWs interpretation of good old Sanguinius, but I bet it costs a fortune (I look at you Angron)

Great results, they look fantastic together.

May I ask, what "battle mat" is that? I looks like a textured rubber, I'd like to know more about it if possible?

This mat is the best thing I have ever come across in this product segment.
The mat is from Zuzzy miniatures. It's a small business and your order may take a while to arrive. But it's worth it.

HOLY FETH I'M IN LOVE THIS IS FETHING AWESOME!

GO ENZIE

OK, I am going to ask a few dumb questions, and then I really am hoping that we can get to see your tactical squad.....

1) How do you paint a figure to completion when it is already glued together, OR do you use magnets to display it, and then paint it?

2) Your highlighting, do you do successive coats of paints, or do you use a brush to just highlight with a different color?

BTW, you have some excellent minis.

I always did like BAs, people tend to forget that these guys are 2nd to World Eaters in their role as shock troops.
Anyway love ur painting skillz, love the model and love ur Sanguinius, absolutely lovely
