Not that I expected any less from this blog, but yeah, as the other said, this is some pretty amazing tabletop standard ! Making justice to an amazing model !

Thanks gents glad you all like it and think it's a success

Paradigm: here's how I did the red

Grey undercoat
2x coats of Signal red
Dry brush mithril silver
Baal red wash
Serephim sepia
Nuln oil
Then scratches with mithril

Hope that helps mate

Yeah, very handy, cheers. I've not yet decided whether I'm going to go for red or grey armour, but if I go red, I'll definitely try something like that.

You're welcome mate. Glad I could help.

I went red because I wanted to set the force around calth, include gal vorbak and keep the scheme coherent.

Also, just as a tip, if you can't get Baal red, you can water down blood for the blood God instead. I did it to one of the tac marines as a test, and now I can't remember which one it is.

Wow... Some lovey models in here!

The Dark Eldar might be my favourite... Or maybe the Contemptor stomping on the Imperail Fist?

Thanks mate, the contemptor has been reposed when it was renamed, but I kept the imperial fist to redo the pose on another contemptor

Here's a quick family photo

Plans for all of the big fellas, or just specific ones?

Great group shot!

Great looking crew you have started there.

Congrats on the upcoming addition to your gaming group

Thanks guys really appreciate the comments.

Whale music: I have plans to do them all eventually, mostly just to live in my cabinet. I have ferrus and fulgrim sitting on my table, and kurze still unassembled in my closet of shame.

Hey guys, I took some pics of the most recently finished unit for the Word Bearers.

Gal Vorbak! Ultimate bad asses of the WB legion. I played these at a recent tournament and they kicked ass and took names, only dropping one game out of 6 to a Alpha legion army.



As you can see I modified the models to remove the duplication of the 5 sculpts. For this I used a liberal application of spawn pieces and green stuff to blend them together.





They will form a nice body guard for Lorgar in his ride for bigger games, and a solid backbone for normal sized games.





I'm looking forward to seeing what FW do for an Argel tal model (I hope they do one at least) because the sculpts are some of my favourites from FW, with the jaws and teeth motif carried throughout the sculpts being super creepy.





I'm quite happy with how they came together, the only thing I might come back to is the flesh and add a bit of variation in the tones with washes and glazes, I'll also redo the black areas of some of them as the varnish seems to have eaten their highlights.

Thanks for looking.

Now those are Word Bearers I can learn to like. Well done sir, it really gives them more character than the 40K version of the possessed.

Sick looking Val Gorback.

EDC

Those are very nice, awesome finish

They are great, good stuff!

Thanks guys really glad you like them as much as I do!

Just a quick one today, talking to a friend about what I should do with my contemptor from the Battle at Calth set, and he suggested a Mhara gal.



Considering the plan is had up til then was terrain, I immediately grabbed the gs and the bitz box. This is the first gs session with minimal thought and rouge thumbs ruining my work.

One thing I wanted to carry over was the animal skull and teeth from the gal vorbak, as I found them to be some of the freshest and creepiest details on the gal vorbak kit.

More WIP shots soon. Thanks for looking.

This is going to be interesting, and looking good so far !

Fantastic so far sheep.

Mind sharing how you did those teeth, it looks like greenstuff rolled out and left to set, then cut into shape(?).

Thanks guys

Noodles: that's exactly how I did it! I took small amounts and rolled them into a sausage so they tapered at both ends, then pressed on them slightly to take away the perfect roundness.

I made them taper at both ends so when I cut them I had two teeth.

The jaws were sculpted seperatly and holes pressed into the areas I wanted teeth with one of my tools.

Thanks for the tip sheep, now I just need to find something to test this on!

Hey all, long time between posts! Being a new father has been amazing, but takes a hell of a lot of time out of your day!

I managed to finish the Mhara gal before she arrived though, so here's some pics I snapped recently.



I found some soul grinder components in my bitz box a added them to the fist, this I think suits the rules a lot better and continues the corruption theme nicely.



The back is fairly unadorned, I just had a lack of ideas as to how to dress it up, so a random growth was all that was added.



Dead marine and the plasma cannon arm were the last pieces to be completed quite happy with how "dead" the dead marine looks.



This guy is now quite large, transport will be a problem for sure, but I'm really happy with he turned out, I just hope that he's worth the points cost and performs on the table at Inferno 2.

Thanks for looking.

Great conversion work on the dread dread . If your still looking for ideas on the back of it, how about giving it one wing that is just starting to grow out of it, or an insect like eyeball to keep an eye out for backstabbers.

That is a stunning piece of sculpting, great work!
