**Azazelx**

Cool stuff, mate - I look forward to seeing your Primaris take shape!

**angelofvengeance**

Just a quick WIP pic for you all

. Gotta say, Primaris marines look really imposing on the tabletop! Bloody chest eagles... always do one side perfect and then splorch on the other...ffs.

Spoiler:

**Master Azalle**

are you spraying caliban green?

**Paradigm**

Looking good! Always nice to see one of those cyborg heads, I'm still miffed the new Tactical kit from a few years ago ditched that design.

**San76**

Looking good mate!

Yes mate. Bloody marvellous stuff!

Yeah, same here. They need to go back to doing more kits with bionics options on them tbh.

Cheers guys! I did some work on his face last night and here's how that went. It was maybe a little too hot (26C!) for painting last night.

**Azazelx**

Looking good! What's the spray technique you're using? Caliban over black and then brush highlights? Spray highlights?

Just Caliban Green over bare plastic.

Tried this out:

**San76**

Love the terminator red glow!

**GrimDork**

Nice stuff! Doing the beefymarines justice.

**Ustrello**

So will that sgt start asking if any of the other models are sarah connor?

**evildrcheese**

Awesome work on the Primaris Marines so far.

Lovely work on the House Stark Knight too.

EDC

**angelofvengeance**

Been a little busy with my Knight of late and got started on the decals. A lot more to go, though.

My god, these things are irritating at times. Particularly the shin plates.

Spoiler:

And an attempt at freehand on the stone scroll.

**ListenToMeWarriors**

Initially I was a tad disappointed as I thought this was going to be an Iron Man inspired Knight, but then I saw the painting. Excellent work AOV looks as good as done to me, what are you planning on adding?

**angelofvengeance**

Got some decals to put on, still. Then chipping, weathering and his base.

**JamesY**

That knight looks fantastic mate.

**Theophony**

The decals and paint job really are excellent on the knight. I can live without iron man in my grimdark future

**evildrcheese**

Excellent work on the Knight. It's looking wicked.

**Azazelx**

Great work on the Knight. Looks fantastic.

Thanks

Got plans for a Jaime Lannister Knight for #2. I'm thinking Reaper chainsword and Thunderstrike gauntlet (in gold, naturally!). Then a melta-gun and missiles/Icarus autocannons for the carapace. Question is, Khorne Red or Mephiston Red? I'm thinking the former would be better.

**angelofvengeance**

I return- with all sorts of hobby shenanigans underway!

I caved and bought myself a copy of the fantastic Shadespire. And my FLGS being a legend, managed to get it for me waaaay in advance.

Spoiler:

With the assistance of the movie 300, I set to work on one of the first female Stormcast models. May I introduce the rather badass WIP of Angharad (painted up in my Knights of the Aurora colours, of course):

Spoiler:

I've also been on with Dark Eldar, Blood Angels and a bit of Dark Angels. Pretty fun paint projects so I've managed to get a fair bit done with these as well.

Nephilim jetfighter:

Spoiler:

Also, I've been building the Rhino Primaris and Land Raider Excelsior for Dark Angels and Blood Angels respectively

. Don't have the excelsior photo yet, but here's the Rhino Primaris. Great little kits.

Spoiler:

And then finally, a bunch of Blood Angels Primaris for my Angels of Death force. (Leaning more toward the Dark Angels though lol.)

So first up is the Primaris Captain

Spoiler:

Primaris Sergeant.

Spoiler:

Primaris Inceptors:

Spoiler:

Blood Angels Primaris group shot:

Spoiler:

Finally, we have some filthy Xenos

Troupe Master

Spoiler:

Raider, Ravager and Razorwing basecoated

Spoiler:

Whew! So there we go, lotsa hobby stuff done, despite the absence on here

.

C&C welcome!

Thanks for dropping by!

**Azazelx**

Damn, mate - you've been busy!
Great work on Angharad and all of those Blood Angels.

**angelofvengeance**

Cheers mate

. Trying to knock down my pile o grey some more

. I may be selling some of my stuff, as I know I'll never physically be able to get around to everything.

**angelofvengeance**

Just a quick update:

Been working on my Shadespire party lately, focussing on Steelheart's Champions, which will then be followed by Garrek's Reavers.

Severin is nearly done, just got to finish a few bits and pieces, like his head, sword, pteruges etc.

Spoiler:

Oberyn just needs some final highlights on his parchment and some highlights on his pauldrons and pteruges. Then that'll be all of them ready for a scrap in Shadespire

.

Spoiler:

**Azazelx**

The pair of Stormcast look really impressive. I've yet to have time to crack open my set. This time of work is usually a nightmare, and this year is certainly no exception. Khorne next?

Yes. Though I'll admit that I'm not looking forward to all the skin tones lol.

*blows dust off the page*

Hello, one and all. Hope you're all having a fairly decent 2018 so far. I'm back once again. I've been taking a little break from Dakka, but in my absence, I have not been idle. In true hobby butterfly fashion, I've been flitting from project to project.

I've been enjoying the hell out of 8th ed 40k. Plays far better than previous editions IMO. I don't have time to post pics of some of the games right now, but maybe later.

Continuing on with my Angels of Death, I've been struggling a little with the Inceptors flight stands as they kept snapping off, so I snipped the arsehole cup bit off the stem and the bit of plastic it sits in and magnetized it

. Job done! I then went and bought some more Primaris Intercessors and Reivers 10 man squads, which I shall be divvying up between Deathwatch, Blood Angels and Dark Angels forces. The FW legion head and pauldron upgrades are also worth investing in if you want to make your Primaris prettier. Or any spare pauldrons you've got going really.
So, without further ado, here is my Primaris and elites heavy Blood Angels force so far:

Spoiler:

Next up, are some Dark Angels. I haven't been going as heavy on these as the Blood Angels, but I have been enjoying the change of scene:

Spoiler:

Annnd finally some Deathwatch:

Spoiler:

So yeah, not much slacking happening here

. Just slow painting.

Hope you're all well and thanks for stopping by. I hope to be updating this a bit more regularly than I have been.
