Just a quick newsflash!

This blog will now be used for all things random, and by that I mean any painting of miniatures that aren't part of my C:SM chapter or Infinity.

Oh, what C:SM army and what Infinity? Glad you asked!

My C;SM Chapter: The Truth Bearers

My Ariadna blog.

Have a happy new year everyone!

Ooooh excellent. I've often wondered if it would be worth making separate blogs given the (in)frequency of my own updates, I shall therefore consider you a human Guinea pig and observe your success

Can't wait to check these out when I get back to my main screen.

So, yeah, ever since I saw that god-like show that was Neon Genesis Evangelion (so many, many years ago) I have been a fan of this fantastic char that's Ayanami Rei. I *MAY* be entering an area that *MAY* be considered creepy. I bet I can scare a lot of good people if I add candles or an altar to the following scene. It would be an interesting experience but I better not

(*SPOILERED* for massive impact once you open it )

I swear to the God-Emperor I don't own any body-pillow or anything like that! Don't look at me like that, damn it!


I feel the strong desire to add to this, though I don't have pictures (and my gut says I should't show any), A Gasai Yuno body pillow, Neptune (Hyperdimension Neptunia) body pillow, Uppote FNC figurine, 5 Strike Witches nendoroids, 2 Heavens lost propery Nendoroids, and god knows how many Strike Witches cards. I have friends who won't even GO INTO my room.....



You know DraconicLord, you really outdo me as a Rei fan.

However, I do like what I see with your work! Keep it up soon!

Thanks mate Glad you liked it

The VenDread has been done for a good while for now, but to be perfectly honest, the current work schedule and load is killing my hobby drive =/ The Dread is only missing the base but since I only stay for a full day in Portugal each week, I never get to it...

I dearly hope to get my hobby passion back once my schedule is a bit more normal again.

That's right, thanks to VACATIONS! I managed to finish the VenDread, destroying my painting hiatus in the process

First things first: pretty pictures!



I finished this guy some time ago, only missing the base, but like I explained I really wasn't in any condition to complete him. Well, that was the before, thanks to this week's vacations I spent some hours this last Monday finishing the base. Yes, hours, I'm slow! Anyway, see the poor dismembered bastard near the Dread's feet? Well, he's got an important role to play, he's an HP Counter



All the pieces are magnetized so you can remove one each time the VenDread loses a HP: That's the reason I didn't add intestines or other "ropey like" gore under the chest plate, it will be constantly removed. Overall, I had lots of fun painting the CSM and using BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

Some other cool details of the dread are the runes! I used this file with several warrior charms as inspiration:
Spoiler:


I decided this Space Wolf had a particular sense of humor that he kept even after he was given the honor of using a Dreadnaught body. As such, the rune used for the Auto-cannon is for Peace:


The one used for the Melta is for Healing (Because, ya know, when you are shot with a Melta blast, no other harm will ever torment you. )


And finally, I decided to use the rune for "End strife" for his Claw. That one isn't really too funny, I bet that thing is always ending Strife


All the weapons are magnetized so the loadout can be switched. A final parting shot of our friendly VenDread, this time carrying a Melta!



Well, that's all folks! I hope I'll be able to more often once the work schedule is a bit more regular. I really want to start painting my SMs or Infinity

Until a next time and happy hobbying!
