Is this real?
Omg this is the most beautiful sternguard and heroes i have ever seen bravo!

Thanks for the kind words, guys!

Current project now is making destroyed crater/wreck markers for all my blood raven tanks and painting up my 3 Thunderfire cannons.
after that I have 1 Land speeder to paint, and I think my Blood Ravens will be nearing the final stages of being a complete force for now.

Also, 50 pages celebration! Wooo



Thank you so much to everyone for their support and for helping to make my blog so popular on this forum.

All your kind words of advice are what helps to keep me motivated in painting this army!

50 pages of top quality work is nothing to sneer at. You've given is a lot of inspiration RP... looking forward to the next 50. ;-)

Really nice stuff Roleplater, I have a slight issue with the techmarine though, the loader arm really resembles crayon or coloured pencil tips at the moment, the rest is brill though.

Yep, been getting comments like that from various forums. I am repaiting them as weal speak with black tips

Every time I look at you blog, man, my brain burns with jealousy! How do you get such clean, crisp lines? It's amazing!

Why not "Boom, Boom, Boom, BOOM!" Cmdr Susan Ivonova

Nicely done RP. Vibrant, clean... just right.

Yes, nice work : )

However you should really change to nmm.
At least for the golden parts, they look kinda out of place imo : /

And maybe some smooth glow effect to contrast with your clean painting style?

Just some suggestions ; )

Well, they are all table top quality exlcuding the HQ (for example the techmarine) so doing NMM would take much too long for minis just designed for playing games with.
You'll notice most of my HQs do use NMM
I wouldn't mind trying some glowing effects at some point tho, that would be cool.

For table top standart it's ok^^

But I personally preffer to slightly drybrush the gold in that case.
Gives it that kinda rough look gold most times has in reallife, with all those fanzy reflections. : )

Yea glow effects are great, they are done really quickly and improove models a LOT. It's quite amazing..
But don't get all crazy on them, because they can bring every thing down as quickly as they improoved it. >.<

Looks great as usual RP.

Congrats on the 50 pages, every single one has been a great read

I like the subtle highlights on the tech marine. Looks good.

Awesome calgar conversion.

I know it's a bit late to say but i really like the different coloured ends on the ammo, I think it adds a bit more variety of colour and you could even say they show off the different types of ammo.

50 pages of some seriously sexy models. I hit Exalt so many times my finger is sore.

Wow, what more can I say, the inside of your Razor back is utterly perfect! I just love it. The colours and the highlighting is amazing! Also the brown and red on the bolter looks top notch, I love the colour scheme! And also the Highlighting on your marines is perfect, especially on the Libby, he is going to loom fantastic! I cannot wait to see more of this!

Firstly you are a amazing painter secondly when are you doing.more sons of horus??

That was my first thought when I saw the pictures as well.

Hey all!

Sorry for the absence but I am doing my practice teaching bloc ATM which has been insanely time consuming, however I do have some cool things to report.

I have won 3 best painted with the ravens since my last post! And also won a best general with my codex marines.

This has qualified me for ultimates, which is the premier event here in western Australia. Held ever year the top placing players from 10 different tournament qualify the 16 spots at the invitational. I'll be taking the ravens to it and have a lot of new things to post up. For this. I need to paint, by October 22 nd

Scouts (finished)
Rifleman dread (50%)
2attack bikes (50%)
land speeder (50%)
god-hammer land raider(0%)

I'll be posting some pictures of the scouts up later tonight for everyone to have a look at

Wow your painting is awesome!! it just makes me want to go home and do loads of paintng untill i improove.

Congratulations Roleplayer! The accolades are well deserved. Best of luck at ultimates. Be sure to bring back plenty of pictures and a good story for the rest of us!

Indeed congrats, especially on best general

A great painter who also kicks competitive butt...enough said

im starting a blood ravens army and your my inspiration!!
although mine will be a little bit more weathered...

God hammer LR?

Godhammer is the ordinary pattern of Land Raider - with the Twin-linked Lascannons.

Nonetheless, despite being an epic blog of epicness, this is necromancy. Though I'd love for RP to be back at it!

I thought it was 3 tw lass cannons
