Definitely enjoying that speeder. Your colour choices work really well there, and it's some nice crisp painting.

Speeder looks great! Could we badger you into incorporating it into an army shot with the rest of your void panthers?

Thanks Olthannon, glad you’re over the cold, sadly my kids brought a new one home last week! thanks for spotting the poses, I wanted to have the gunner looking over at a target and be starting to slew the gun around. I toyed with tilting the speeder too, but couldn’t settle on an attitude that looked right

Thanks Bellerophon, it’s been a fun project, crispness was the order of the day for these guys! I fear the BSF terrain will be more of a slog than the fun of this.

Thanks brushcommando, I think I can manage a couple of army shots…




I think they look like they have the night of The Emperor on their side in the sunshine, rising out of the ashes of Sector Imperialis! I think I could do with a background to go behind them for pictures on the board, does anyone know of decent artwork showing sector Imperialis ruins? Google didn’t help me earlier

Thanks for looking

Excellent force! I really like the scheme, the metallic bodies are a great contrast to the purple where both support each other without conflicting. You've turned two uncommon colors into a solid pairing, impressive work

The basing is fantastic, cluttered city streets with some added details to to stand out from the standard set, the speeder especially looks like it's skimming low through the ruins.

The landspeeder brings back happy memories of painting my black templar version. Hours and hours crouched over my painting desk, only to step back and see that it basically looked the same from 3 foot away as when I had primed it!! Yours looks ace with purple and gold breaking it all up

Thanks for sharing

Cheers LTMW, the shadows were fun to play with, getting a bit of atmosphere without putting the Marines in the dark!

Thanks ValhallanWinter. Good and purple have become a bit of a thing for me since coming back to the hobby a couple of years ago. I can’t seem to shake it! I think it helps the Panthers look pretty regal which is why I chose it. I’m glad you like the bases, they started with the Space Marine Heroes bases and I’ve been throwing bits of Sector Imperialis lately too. Dry brush, contrast and washes do the rest for me. Hopefully it translates well when I paint their shelf.

Thanks igtr. I know what you mean in the painting of black, it looked primed for quite a while, but the purple and gold helped remedy that!

Well papa nurgle has been taking up residence in casa gobert. I was the week before I went away, then I caught something when I got back and I still feel like death a week later! I had a day off last week and had hoped smash a good painting session, but all I could muster was to lay on the sofa and watch Fear The Walking Dead S6.

My work trip was the first in about 20months and was to Germany, so had all the joy of lost COVID travel! I did have a few hours alone in the hotel room so took advantage by bringing my Indomitus Necrons with me to build. Between bouts of illness I managed to assemble all of the rest of the Necrons;



I’m tempted to go all John Prins on them and see how close to finished I can get them over Christmas! To aid projects like this I splashed out on a portable spray booth with an extractor fan. To see how noisy it was I decided to basecoat the Void Panthers Assault Squad;



This wasn’t as straightforward as the Tactical Marines I did a few weeks back, but that was because I hadn’t put the needle back in the right spot. Once I figured that out things went smoothly and I even figured out how to use the end stop to get a nice wide spray pattern for basecoating! That’ll come in handy for the Necrons at Christmas! All in though it took about 1hr to basecoat all these marines including airbrush fiddling and cleaning, so a major time saver. I can’t wait to get some base colours down on some Panthers and try a Nuln oil wash through the airbrush.

Thanks Not Online, they’ll take a while, as with all my painting!

Not much to report on as I’ve still been under the weather, I’ve decided to push through and groan about it like and old man though! This evening was spent watching the F1 (not worth staying up for, I should e gone to bed after lap 1!) and painting Blackstone Fortress bits. I started with finishing the last of the bases for my completed minis;



Then I did some work on terrain. I tried my new make up brushes on this bunch to get the bone and stone effects. Pretty effective is my verdict and certainly faster than my normal drybrush. I used up a fair bit of paint though!



These are most of the non-Blackstone material pieces, the rest will mostly just be dry brushes turquoise/blue/green with a bit of pink maybe. Once I’ve done the base colours, wash and highlights on these they’ll get OSL like dry brush too to match the floor tiles they belong to.
