Thanks EDC! I think I'll paint the side coverings on the sponsons red as well. I'm magnetizing them so I don't always have to run it with them. I'm trying to find a suitable gap filler for the holes now that I can magnetize in. Hopefully i'll come across something on the interwebs

I haven't been lost to the warp! Between law school finals and then getting ready and leaving for Europe for a study abroad (I am currently in Northern Ireland!) I didnt have any time to update my blog.
I'll be back state side in July! And by that time I'll have more mkII's and and some bits from shapeways to round out my cataphractii and both a 20 man Breacher and Tactical Squad!
See you all in a month or so! The Emperor Protects

Feth, where the hell did the time go? I can't believe it's been so long!
Solar, you were right, All of Ireland was fantastic. A really awesome place to go and study.
Working in Germany was also a great experience as well.
I came home at the end of July and had a mountain of plastic and resin to work through
I've finally gotten into the Dark Imperium and Primaris Marines. I've also been Ebay shopping and picking up extra bits and models here and there as the opportunity presents itself.
I love the new fluff with the Ultima Founding. I'm also quite fond of the new Blades of Vengeance Primaris Chapter, and after some paint testing, I'll be painting my Dark Imperium marines as BoV. While in Europe, and when I pre-ordered Dark Imperium, I also bought a second batch of just the Primaris marines from the box. So i have plenty of minis to get through.
So, without further ado, here are my first 5 Primaris Blades of Vengeance

Well, they took a little longer than expected. Had some mishaps on the bone shoulders I wasn't expecting.
But for now, I'm calling them done.
I'll come back to them when I base the whole Primaris force.
Thoughts?

So far it's 5 intercessors, 5 hellblasters, and now, I've finished the 1st Lt. My favorite is the bolt pistol and power sword mini, because... it's a bolt pistol and power sword. I also REALLY don't like the other Lt mini. 1st, where your damn helmet... the hell is wrong with you. 2nd, I don't like that he doesn't have the leg eagle that both the other Lt and the Captain have. Sooo I'll be converting another bolt pistol, auto boltrifle with some of the bits i've got off ebay. I'm holding off buying any more plastic until I've worked through the mountain of shame I currently have on my bench.
So, up next is my finished Lt.
Next in the build order will be the ancient, captain and the another 10 intercessors. I may build 5 more intercessors to break up the monotony. I did just get 5 more hell blasters in the mail.... Anyways!
C&C Welcome

Nice plasma effect on the Hellblasters weapons.
LT looks good you going to do any power effect on the sword at all?
Keep up the good work

So I got some more work done over the weekend. Don't have any WIPs of the Captain in Gravis or my second, kitbasked LT yet. I'll make sure to take some tonight. But here's my second 5 man intercessor squad, with a simple conversion on the sgt by swapping out his left arm and re-positioning the head. I didn't want several obvious duplicates in the Sgts.
C&C welcome

Thanks for stopping by shock!
Inspite of my initial reaction of not adding any Primaris marines to my Angel's of Vengeance, I may be doing just that in the near future. I want to add a 10 man squad of Intercessors with Auto-Bolt rifles... but I'll hold off for now. Here's a group shot of what I have done so far!
2 x 5 man squads of intercessors with bolt rifle
1 x 5 man squad of hellblasters
1 x Lt

Alright, 2nd Primaris Lt Complete!
I used a second body from the 1st LT and then used the bolt pistol and cradled auto bolt rifle from the multipart Intercessors kit. Really happy with how he turned out.
And the Gravis Captain. I wasn't happy with the pose out of the box. I simply lowered the angle so it was more of him pointing his sword at something he wanted dead or in the direction of the charge. I haven't finished his power sword yet, or the sword on the original Lt. They will get some love.
What do you all think? C&C welcome

Thanks for stopping by Mad! And I agree, the simple repose makes a difference. I think I will eventually add a squad or two in Angels of Vengeance livery, but for now, I really like how the Blades of Vengeance look, that and the names are too damn similar not to use javascript:emoticon(' ');
I took a slight break from the Green and Bone colors. I had played a few games in the past two weeks at my LFGS with my Angels of Vengeance and it was like looking at my progression in painting and modeling over the years. I started this blog 5 years ago in 2012 with the advent of 7th Ed and have played many a game with my sons of the lion, so I wanted to bring the earliest parts of my force up to snuf with the work I've been putting out now. So I'm going back to my tactical squads that I started with!
First picture is a side by side from of the 1st marine to get a new paint job. I also went in with a sharp modeling knife and removed mold lines I'd missed as well as small flash from where I clipped the models from the sprue. lol keep in mind my tactical squads are from the previous tactical squad boxed set where you had to clip the grips of the weapons and attach to the hands, I actually liked that method as it gave you extra bits with triggers to use for display pieces and such. Anyways! Here's the side by side, followed up with the Full Squad! Then pictures of my plasma cannon and plasma gun with the OSL glow in effect. Originally I had painted the glow red, but I like how the light blues plays over the armor better. I also went back and did a MUCH needed basing job, I also decided to keep them on the original bases. Not enough time, nor proper army storage to upgrade the bases. I'll wait till I have the company up to speed, or at least a few more squads before I go back in with rubble, debris, vegetation.
C&C always welcome!

Took a little longer for the next 5 man squad than i wanted. But here's 5 man team #3! I can now run the 3 Command Point formation with these guys, which is pretty awesome. Next up is the ancient. I've got a WIP of the banner too.

Coming together nicely! Blends and highlights on that banner looking sweet too! Go for it with the chapter symbol, you'll be proud of the achievement if it goes right, and if not, can always paint again.

I'm doing my own thing because it's fun. And it takes longer, which means more entertainment value for my cash. So there |

These guys look great Azalle really crisp classic-style painting.
Have you thought about trying a bit of weathering? I'm a massive advocate as it's dead simple but really takes a model to the next level. Just a really light and rough edge-drybrush of Leadbelcher or something on exposed edges would look fantastic. It's a bit nerve-wracking on your first attempt but after that it's really straight forwards
It's also a great use for knackered old bigger brushes as the more spread out and straggly the bristles are the better it looks

Yenead! I have thought about some weathering. Still debating on the best method. I agree that it will add some more depth/character to the minis. I'm going to hold off on that final step until have the army complete and based. I have a tournament coming up and I'm trying to round out my force as best I can before then.
Started on the 1st set of three inceptors. Man, there's a lot more detail on these bastards than I thought, took a LOT longer to get my test mini done. C&C always welcome. He's two brothers have been primed, washed and had black and bone blocked out. I finished all three of the heads at the same time, so not too much extra detail work for the next two. Hopefully I'll get them knocked out tonight / tomorrow. I've got my first 5 Rievers up. I'll be painting them mostly black with an inverted should pad scheme. Hopefully it'll fit in nicely.

With only one day's worth of work, I feel pretty damn good about what I was able to put out. Finished 5-man Reiver Squad (minus the bases) as well as finished detailing, for now, my 3 Inceptors (again, minus the bases).
Not pictured below, which is my own fault for not taking pictures of everything, I've primed my last 5 intercessors, and built 5 more Hellblasters and an additional Lt. Hopefully I'll get the intercessors knocked out quickly.
For the Reivers, I had seen some awesome WIPs here on Dakka painting them in a more... 'traditional' terror/assault unit: All Black. I really like how they turned out, it also let me knock all 5 out in a few hours instead of multiple nights. I also inverted the colors on the shoulder pads. I felt that a lot of bright bone color didnt fit a terror/assault squad feel. What do you guys think?
