That angry marine made my day. Loving your old stuff in general.

Good luck with the move and I look forward to seeing new stuff in the summer.

The colour scheme on the baneblade is subtle and very good. Great job.

Loving the work so far; the baneblade is awesome and indeed the medic made me ROFL when I read the comment about him using the last of the toilet paper...

Well I am back. I have finally set up shop and to break in the new place i painted two new (non-blog related) models... Tried a new painting style for the chaos marine, tried that cartoon-ish painting for him, and then painted the Tomb King's Queen my more traditional style.






let me know what you think about the chaos guy... should i paint the rest of them traitors this way?

Bud, your painting has come along quite nicely! These look quite tastilicious!

here is an update on the valk.

oh yeah, but in time.

here are some more pics of the bird, she is coming along slowly

Well here is the Vendetta Gunship with her las cannons installed finally.

These are looking nice. Welcome back (even though I wasnt there back then )

Thanks man, it is good to be back

Really love the way your armies coming together and your army color is nice too. Keep it up I know i'll be keeping an eye on this thread to see how things come along.

That latest WIP is pretty moving.
Good stuff. great work!

Hopefully I can do it justice. I am going to need to go to the hobby store to pick a few things up to continue the project. I tossed the dog tags off, thinking they are too bulky, tore the man apart so that a better job of the green stuff can be done.

I am also thinking of giving the trooper a desert cammo scheme.

You did it justice alright!
it so simple and perfect!

wow I love your figures! Subscribed!

Empchild, why is it offensive? Please don't get me wrong, not trying to pick a fight at all, but I see a homage and a pretty moving one at that.

To me it really conveys a feeling of respect and a reminder that wars are fought by people, who build relationships with each other, suffer together and support each other. And that the toughest thing to deal with (I would imagine, I am not a soldier so no disrespect intended to any vets) is losing those who have shared those struggles and support.

To me, it is moving because it reminds those of us fortunate enough never to have faced war (thanks to people like you and the service you give) that it is not ideologies or policies dying and suffering for us, but our friends and family.

Just my 2 cents, maybe the author never intended it to be that deep, but that is what I see. No offense meant to anyone, just curious as to what I am missing that it is offensive.

Majortom11, well it was meant to be that deep, and I do not understand why it was offensive. But because it was, I removed it from Dakka. I am here to share my love for the game and the modeling. So I do wish to extend my apologies.

To continue with this blog, I will be posting some more guardsmen soon, and maybe a hellhound in there too. I am also experimenting more with green stuff so if that model ever comes out halfway nice, i will post it too.

i love those home made guns and the way you base your HWT

That's a nice looking Valkyrie! Different to put together than their other kits I found...but that may be because I lost the instructions

Heavy Weapon Team.

Oh, lol. thx man

Well this is what I have been working on for the past week or so.
3 Steel Legion Sentinels for my 58th Steel Legion.
2 have Lascannons, and the last is with a Plasma Cannon.
The one on the far left is my newest one, got him with the battalion box last winter. the middle one is when the armored sentinel first came out, back in the past many years... don't remember the year... I think 02 or 03... I might have been in Germany when I got that or before that in 01... don't remember. The one on the far right is the first sentinel I ever got in 99-00 time frame. just put the spare bits from the new one on it and tried to make it enclosed.

These are still very WIP, just a basic paint job is done, codex grey and bleach bone... then washed with badab black (grey) and grephonne sepia (bone).

Psyched about the Dark Eldar release, I take it?
