Here's just an update on the first honour guard model, sorry It's been a while.

Looking sweet. Is he a pewter model?

Yep he is, I find I prefer using them over finecast as they are more weighty and feel more important

Here's the finished version, will get started on the next model this evening.

Sorry It's been such a while since I've posted tbh, I haven't been doing much painting but I thought I'd update you with my first 2 fully finished honour guard.

Nice painting, but i would do a wash on the metal.

They have a badab black wash on the guns and axes and devlan mud on the gold armor. Just doesn't show great in the pics.

Love the armour man! But a bule wash could work!

Pics didn't come out great but I used an azuremen blue wash and then highlighted with more Ultramarine blue. Will try to get some better pics when we get some sun

Cool! Look forwad to it man!

Just finished my standard bearer tonight, still not had much sun so will get the better pics as soon as I can.

So far, so good!

Cheers thanks for the feedback HAZZER, can always count on you. Working on the next model so far, will hopefully get pics up by the end of the week.

Thanks man! Btw your guys are looking so good1 The finish is very good! Look forward to end of week update too!!!

Sorry for the late post but just had a few finishing touches to make, so here's the last honour guard now, next up is Calgar himself.

Just a quick update before I go on holiday for a few days really, started work on calgar and decided to work my way up, think it might be a bit easier that way. Haven't had much time to do anything else as I'm currently playing Batman Arkham city at the mo and am a bit hooked more to come when I ger back at the end of the week.

Here's some more work on Calgar, taking a while to work through.

Hi, I'm loving papa smerf! Looking good man! Btw I'm also painting up some hounor guard too on my blog! Check em out!

I'll check em out HAZZER, taking so long to get him done, gonna start my second company next.

looking forwad to it man!

Finally finished off Calgar, gonna have a quick break and paint a fantasy shaman and then start work on my second company.

Almost finished on the orc shaman, will start on the second company this weekend hopefully.

Finished off my Shaman now, so time to finally crack on with my second company. Various updates coming soon, hopefully get a couple of marines done per week

Here's an update on the first marine, just wanted to know what you guys thought so far, I still have the jump pack to add yet. Also would you prefer me to start a new blog exclusively for my second company. Thoughts please, thanks.

Looking good man!!! The assault marine is looking good too as well I like the color scheme as well!!!

Just another quick update,have been working on Grimgor Ironhide for a local comp so will post up some pics soon and also have 2 marines done. Will try and get the pics up tonight if not by the weekend.

Pics up

Hmmm....Look good man! Can't wait to see em finished! Btw if you look inf the codex it has the 2nd company laid out with markings and everything and looks amazing!!! On the assult squads one squad has two yellow stripes on their chainswords with the other hving three stripes, how about using that too to help define the squads, hoope this helps..

Hey HAZZER, thanks for the feedback. I am actually doing the squad from the picture in the codex. You can't see the stripes on the chainswords but they have 2 red lines like in the codex (top left). And as for the markings I'm freehanding them all so will take some extra pics this weekend. Also gonna start 2 new blogs for my Inceptor space marines and Chaos Space Wolves. Been checking your stuff and It's looking good as always
