I'll go with 10 seekers for now, then, seeming that's all I have

Hmm, 15-18 is good, hey? well, that will mean that until I get another box of daemonettes I'll have 1 squad of 15 and 1 of 14, plus 1 herald (so it sort-of is ok)

Anyway, today I went to GW, for the store's birthday. Tried to resist buying the exalted chariot because I new I could buy it online for cheaper (or get 2 seeker sets for 4 bases) but I couldn't resist
The store even only had 1 seeker chariot . Yes. I got an exalted...
Even when I knew about a tasty marine update :(
And I didn't have enough money to buy the daemon codex...

but, but, I just saw this when I was deciding how to make my Keeper of Secrets:



gives me so many ideas just looking at it...

Well, I'm on holidays now, tell you all more later and I'll hopefully have WIP pics of the chariot


M.K

What I like best about that conversion is the subtle rune work on the cloth.

Yes, I like that, too
The one thing that ruins it for me, though is the wings, but I love the rest!

Now I jjust need to figure out if I really want to do it like that or using something else...

Well a KoS doesn't have wings anyway.

True, true...

Now, I just need to find out what my sister has done with the camera (even though she has her own...) I'll have pics of my Exalted Seeker Chariot and Herald.

Oh, and this time I haven't built the entire thing, I'm leaving all but 1 passenger out, and 2 steeds are no where in sight!

Here we go! Herald on Exalted Seeker Chariot!

Fist few pics are a tad blurred, still trying to get used to this camera...

More pics, changed the icon to a banner, looks cooler!
Now, then, what colours should they be...

Again, sorry for the blurryness, I'm still trying to get this camera to focus properly...

Ok, not many updates, but I'm still deciding on colours...
I have no idea...
What colours do oyu think will look good?


Oh, and new Chaos Space Marine Codex
No such thing as Undivided CSM Princes, so I've been told... So when I eventually make mine (if ever) I'm going to have to use a 'couts-as' mark... but which one...

M.K

Huzzah! Dark Vengeance arrived!
Hopefully updates soon

M.K

EDIT: Oh, and seeming Malal is now officially back in the fluff as Malice, I'm going to have to change my fluff a bit, and maybe come up with a few Malice-Themed Daemon Engines (seeming, now, Malice doesn't have any 'normal' Daemons.
Cool thing is, though, now Malice can (provided he has enough sacrifices, and a body to teporarily possess) be summoned into the Materium, unlike his fellow gods!
Now I want to make a Chaos Space Marine look like Malice has chosen his body to possess...


Here's a BatRep without pictures, unable to get any seeming I now don't have my own working camera...

Huzzah! Painting!
For those of you that don't know, I'mentering Nerdfest09's painting comp.
Now, while I could have entered my completed aspiring champion, I decided instead to paint another one.
Pics are below!

Oh, and in other news, I found out why my Spacewolf Grey was messed up, it had seperated....
But it's all good now!

Oh, and spot the difference between the base in the first pic, how it looks in the last 3 pics, and (if you saw me make him on my old blog) if it is any different to how it was when I first gave him a base...


M.K

Oh wow, paint on a model! this is certainly good news.

Done!

I'm going to try and get some better pictures, my WIP pics are better than my completed pic
Can't have that!

Should have some pics of a few (minorly) converted Dark Vengeance models, and next up, I going to try and finish Knightley's GMS marine!
Oh, and proto (if you are still watching this blog of mine) still up for a trade?

Hello! I'm here with an update.
No better pics of the Aspiring Champ... Sorry.

But I have done some more work on Knightley's GMS Marine, as well as added a new bit onto the one for Glom

Sorry for the picture quality... My sister messed around with the settings... Knightley's marine looks better irl...
EDIT: Also, just found this image... I love it...

Yay! progress on my GMS! loving it.

Mainly small details now, highlighting, powersword effect, weathering and small touchups...

And it has squiggles

I FINALLY have the new CSM dex... and boy am I loving it!

I also have a sudden urge I can't explain... now want to make an Emperor's Children army...
I thought I hated Slaaneshi Marines...

But, none of that bad-looking black/bright pink scheme... I'm going to change mine up a tad... Light Pink, Cream/White some black, gold, and pale blue to be exact
Hopefully I'll be able to make a test model soon... Though knowing my luck it will probably be after Christmas...

Just found this





Yeah, no update...

Well, since the release of the new dex, I've been trying to make an Emp Children list I like, but I haven't come up with any...

BUT with the release of The Hobbit, I'm going to make 1 (hopefully 2) lotr armies, Harad and Moria (well, Mount Gundabad...)

EDIT: And no, I'm not going to stop working on my Slaanesh Daemons, I'm gonna try and keep on going with them (hoping to get a Daemon Prince and The Deciever to start work on a greater daemon, and to add so anti-flyer to my list

Well, I finally got a good ammount of progress done to show you.


Knightley's GMS Marine has had some work done on it! Mainly I've redone the skin and blue armour, as well as the freehand, though I need to fix a small bit of the chapter symbol

Also, I've started a test mini for my chaos daemon, and I decided to make their scheme quick and easy, so I actually have some chance in painting them
Test mini is not complete, I'm unsure if I want to have purple-fleshed daemons, I think I may want a more 'pale flesh' colour, but I'm still unsure.


Anyway, Pictures!

Oh! And I found out why some of my pictures turn out blue! It's to do with the flash!

Hello there again everyone! Finally a new update!

Merry Belated Christmas and a Happy Belated New Year to all!


Anyway, I've been messing around with the setting of the camera I've been using, so hopefully picture quality is better!

Been working on Knightley's GMS Marine! (Pics below)

Went to GW on Boxing day, not really wanting to spend cash, but in the end I decided to enter their second conversion comp and came third! Of course, that's not really impressive when you realise that there was only 3 of us... But the staff did say it was a hard decision...
For the Conversion comp we had toconvert something in store in under 3 hours, I used the WHFB VC Banshee and the Seeker Chariot to make a Herald. (Pics below). My frined, who came second, made a Techmarine on a bike. They guy who came first made an iron warrior's Helbrute from an Ironclad, Warpsmith and the DE Talos/Chronos.


Anyway, for Christmas I got C:CD (although apparently a new 'dex is out in Feb for them, grr), a C'Tan Shard of the Deciever (For my KoS conversion), The Hobbit boxed set and a Daemon Prince. Also, on an unrelated note, I got the Lego: Star Wars Super Star Destroyer Executer, Darth Vader's flagship. Built it in under 8 hours, was amazed my hands weren't bleeding... lol


Also, went to see The Hobbit, great movie!

Well, here are the pics:

Hmmm I've been thinking, maybe I should make all the Heralds have whips... That could be the way to distinguish them without me having to get termi bases...

Bit of a pita to transport, but if it looks good...


Also, quick list of the minimum that needs to get done on Knightley's Marine:
-Fixing up the Black parts of the armour (cleaning them up, highlighting)
-Painting the Sword's Blade, and fix up any mistakes on the sword
-Paint the gun (all I've done is the casing, lol)
-Pick out the small details (symbols on his armour, purity seals, etc.)

I'll probably try to add some more basic freehand too, it's the least I can do

Also, I'm planning to finish it before May, that's when I first started, so if I finish before then I technically haven't taken a year to paint 1 measily model

Same thing for Glom's, I need to get motivated! (Must drive these thoughts of non GMS Space Marines out of my head, and focus on Daemons and GMS Marines!)

Nice herald, and your new lighting set up is a lot better

It's a pain to use as it is! (currently) I'm holding a torch above it!
It's whiter than the actual house lights

Should probably build a stand for it... I'm sure it will get old fast...

Thank you for the kind comment bigfish

Sneak peek of what I'm working on besides the GMS marines!

Still painting Knightley's GMS marine, hopefully pics later today.

Anyway, on the topic of painting, I've been thinking about my daemons and whether I should paint them in Pastel or Electric shades. Maybe a combination of both?

So I've set up a poll and I'd like love so help!

Colour Shades:
Left=Pastel, Right=Electric

Here we go! Pics of Knightley's GMS marine as promised!

Very close to done, now. A few highlights and details (the sword/book symbol on his leg, and the purity seals are the big ones) to go!

C&C on both the lighting and figure would be nice!

EDIT: Also, is it possible to edit the title without resetting the poll? Don't want to find out the answer is 'no' the hard way...

I am definitely liking the eagle on the shoulder pad, that looks really good! the squiggles on the back of the legs look great as well
