Well been a while since I did any painting and really been on a forum, not really been able to paint for a while for one reason or another. Anyways thanks for my clients for their understanding, you have been great! so the painting has started, at some point I will have some WoC updates to post but for now here is the start of a Guard commission.

Karshin



Still not finished but well on the way atleast, not sure if I like how the powersword and cream has turned out in places.

Those are some sweet-ass motherf*ckers right there! I can't wait to see more! When I first looked at them I thought they were done; and I was gonna suggest doing more. But then I read your post .

These guys are going to look absolutely stunning when they're done! Some of GW's best models, right there.

Cheers mate, glad you like them so far, I agree, these are certainly some of the best models GW has done, also have two command squads, commissar and a group of heavy weapons to do. After that its a unit of 20 clanrats, then some sternguard and finally some sisters of battle (only table top standard).

Should keep me busy for a few weeks anyways

Here we go, update on these guys, should have some more pictures to post tomorrow of the normal special weapon guys.

Hmm.. maybe it's just the photo.. but.. they seem really dull.

The Sergeant would really stand out more (whilst looking spectacular ) if his sword had more "glowing" patches, like the one in the middle.

Otherwise, looking good.

Maybe, honestly I think I have lost the nack with my camera, I really need a tripod so or something, currently I am holding it and obviously its blurring slightly. Thing is I am also painting them as per guided by the client just offering my advice on how to do certain things.

Anyways I have been painting currently I am working on some Sisters of battle 30 sisters and 20 storm troopser (well roughly). These are only to a basic table top standard.




Next are some bits of my own.

Dragon ogres I took to a tournament, I really need to go back and tidy these up as I painted these in a rush




Well finally I have decided it is time to start a grey knights army, I was originally going to do one when I found some cheap on ebay but I decided to concentrate on my Blood Ravens, bored of my Blood Ravens, wanting something that plays differently from the drop pod assault force here I am, currently I only have 5 of the old grey knights in power armour which I am in the process of trying to redo as I painted them some time ago.

Model wise I plan on using the metal grey knights (for now) as Purifier squad, I might in time replace them with plastic grey knights, for the Grandmaster I tend to convert him from lord Draigo (I am still deciding to give him a halberd or sword), anyways here is the first guy I have been working on (not finished

Nice sisters, solid list, beautiful Purifier!

Cheers, sisters are only done at a very basic standard, now I just have to wait for more of the GK stuff I have been getting 2nd hand to arrive as well as a sort out a few more trades

Seconded on the purifier!

What did you use as the base for your white?

Thanks! yeah its actually astronomical grey however I went and put a water down blue wash over the top when I was finished then just went over the white again when it dried.

Well had some more bits arrive today!

Paladins



Now I just need to get my hands on another psycannon arm, I was originally going to have these guys just with force halberds however I decided the Daemon hammer is to cool not to use

Strike Squad



I still have another 5 to put together.


Purifier Squad



I am thinking I might rebase these actually to fit with the rest of the army better.

I still don't have all the models I need for the army, I still need another strike squad, I plan on actually use all metal psycannons on my strikes squads (so only need one more box of grey knights), I also need another two purifiers, a stormraven, a forgeworld dreadnought and granmaster model.

Thankfully I will be able to get most of this in the next month or so!

For my granmaster I was originally think Draigo would be very cool however I have start to think that Marnus Calgar would make a excellent GM conversion. Thismeans the the arms from him will go on my blood ravens chapter master as a count as Calgar (as he has lightning claws currently).

Well not a massive update but I started on the Paladins




Now I just have to wait for my Drago to arrive and I can start on the grandmaster conversion!

Now the SoB commission is finished its time to start on some ultramarine sternguard

Well my Draigo Trade arrived today so I decided to stick together my basic idea for a Grandmaster, not so sure on the head choice yet, I don't think I will be using the standard head as it looks out of proportion with the other GK terminator heads (but would work very well with calgar body lol!).

Well bit of a update here, first up is the Paladin, still not finished but certainly well on the way




Also the Grandmaster with a bit of paint on him

Little bit of a update on the Grandmaster

I am a happy boy today, my forgeworld dreadnought arrived! still have to put some greenstuff in places, I am very much looking forward to painting this

Well I got bored painting Sternguard todaty so I decided I had to get some paint on this ting

Well another update, not far from finished now, I am not 100% sure about the force weapon but I think thats the sort of color I want to do the whole armies forces weapons as well as doing a glow effect like on the dread.






Automatically Appended Next Post:
Well I did abit of tweaking on the Grandmaster and Paladin, still however can't seem to get the Dreads forceweapon right :(



Obviously this guy still has more to do however I think the force weapon is looking much better now.

I think your force weapons look pretty awesome, itsonlyme. My only thought ( and it's my opinion, you don't have to listen) is why would that bird still be purched on that rock when a dread walks by? Wouldn't it fly away?

Hi thanks Moltar! I did redo the weapon today while I was in GW, still 100% happy with it I think the main problem is the shape doesn't allow for a effect like on the GM force halberd which is now starting to bug! To be honest the Raven was just sitting in my bitz box and I thought it would just add something abit more interesting to base (actually two on the base, one is picking the brains out of a skull!).

Well its only a minor update most of which are just better pictures (I decided to try and use the smart function rather than keep fiddling with the settings on my camera).

Grandmaster




Paladin




Venerable Dreadnought




Grey Knight Strike Justicar



I decided with this guy I wanted to make him stand out more (will be doing the same with all my Justicar's


While not GK here are some sternguard I was commissioned to do

Well another update, started working on a set of BSB, a Skaven, a Chaos warrior, a Wood elf and Ogre, here is some progress on the Skaven BSB

these are all looking great!

Cheers mate! really need to do some painting tonight however listening to some go on about kosh and crap for 7hrs has kinda drained me :( damn I hate inductions!

Now I just need to figure out how I can make this list up to 2k, another stormraven is very tempting, just a shame I can't fit in another dreadnought, would look so epic have a normal one (with forgeworld torso) and the venerable together!

Well here are some more updates on my grey knights, first strike combat squad is nearly done!

Looking good! It's a shame people don't comment on your blog more, because it certainly deserves the comments!

_Tim?

Hey thanks mate, glad you like them, well its just one of those things

Well Been a while Since I posted much, Here is a some of the things I am working on at the moment.

Death Company Dread/Chaplain Dread






Sanguinary Guard



Also Have some Guard I am working on at the moment, hopefully get some more of those done over the weekend when I have some time off work.

I like that marble-looking affect you have on the Dread's CCWs and the sanguinary's power fist! Good to see that you're still workin at it.

Cheers mate, yeah certainly still working at it but I started a job as a support worker a month ago so I haven't had the time I would like to spend painting. First few weeks were a killer, I have gone from getting my lazy arse at like 11-12 to 6am and doing 14hr shifts :(

Anyways I will see about getting some guard tanks done tomorrow (half day!) so I might have some more updates tomorrow night.

Those are some sexy Marines all round bro. Nice work!
