A little old combat squad today (notes)

More power armor, alternating back to the green variety. (Notes)

Rounding out the current wave of Salamanders (more notes)

Awesome Sallies. Really nice looking.

Love the black and gold weapons.

D

Thanks! Yeah, they're a lot of fun to work on.

My first Dreadnought in at least a couple years... (notes)

Been a while, some devastators (more for variety than actually using them as a squad...) and the usual notes

Nice dread and Devs, although you might find the devs have a confused role if using them as a single squad due to the mixed weapons loadout.

Heh, yeah, spamming is pretty obviously the best dev choice- I just took making a squad as a fun incentive for putting together extra gun options at once. The only squad I can actually pull together is 4 missile launchers, though that assault/dev formation is a pretty decent incentive for getting some bolters/heavy bolters together for loading up some anti-infantry.

So, this was a rather unusual one I got asked to work on, I think he came out pretty well (notes & green)

Oh wow.... im getting navi flashbacks.

Hehe, wouldn't be a Zelda game if you didn't have a helper fairy/boat/sword/guy who knows more than you do pestering you every few minutes

Rounding out the SH collection, done with everything except a few duplicates and maybe conversions down the line... (notes)

Really happy with how this guy came out. Notes + WIP shots.

Next up, my first big push on Night Lords in a long time (notes)

I really like the Salamanders, that skin color is what I envision when I think of Salamanders. The Daemon prince is beautiful, very elaborate and a lot of depth. That mace is gorgeous. I like the blue cultists robes.

Well... thanks, sorry for the super-late thanks!

So, after a long break, getting back into 40k, starting with some revisions as i rebase and clean up, and adding a squad of marines (more notes)

So, just finished a beastmen set (notes, as usual)

That's rather striking.

Thanks!

Haven't checked your blog for awhile. Great work on those Night Lords. You've managed to impress me with a Legion I don't ordinarily like, so that's a good thing.

Magnus (I presume it's Magnus) also looks amazing. And at risk of repeating myself, the beastman collection looks fantastic, and the purple colour study beastman looks amazing as well. So very impressive.

Thanks!

The Night Lords collection is actually for my wife (she liked the background, and we both like 40k as a light-weight competitive option), so I took it on as a bit of a challenge since I also thought NLs look pretty silly. I feel like most of it was cutting down on saturation and pretty carefully picking the amount of baroque crap CSMs tend to be covered in.

Starting my Astral Claws project back up with a cleaned up command squad for the new edition (notes):












(edit: dbl post)

Grinding down the banner on the Skulls banner dude. Brave man.

Hehe, more like "dumb kid" ...back when I got it, it was the only model in that style. Today, I'd just use a command squad one, but since I'd already attacked it as a yoof, thought it would be worth more to me, salvaging it over selling a pretty thoroughly attacked model

I feel ya. Looks good though. He is so much smaller than normal marines (not to mention the Primarus marines) it just didn't fit in with most armies now. I just painted mine up as a bronze statue objective marker.

Hmm, yeah, I could see that.

My AC's fit the timeline for Primaris, so they're not getting any unless they shanghai them, so I don't think I have to worry about giant marines! But yeah, he is a little small. I have a handful of my favorite older sculpts mixed in with the army (plus tacticals from everywhere from late 2nd through 6th), though, so I'm not horribly concerned with the exact scale. I also kinda' like a hodgepodge of armor types and ages since the Maelstrom guys were canonically never that well supplied. The SB would look a bit sad and tiny if he were the only old guy, though.

Catching up with some Overkill Marines I forgot to post:

Beautiful work, as always!

Looking awesome dude.

EDC

Thanks!

Next up, a quick one, with my Carnac conversion, and a few thoughts on the new Astral Claws rules.
