Well. I left my re-painted 1.5k CSM army in my up and coming home on the other side of the planet. This means..not only can I not show it's awesomeness off.. it also means I cannot paint or directly alter/improve any of it until at least January and, nor can I play with it. Bad times.

I also have another 6k points of CSM's and 2k points of Chaos Daemons (amongst other numerous models) at home ready to be repainted or remade/replaced giving me plenty of things to do until January and as is the thing whereby we decide everyone else needs to know what we're up to.. I decided I'd just go ahead and make a blog about the antics I get up to until I am reunited with the precious.....I don't mind comments and advice. I don't consider myself a good, great or even amazing painter.. merely someone who knows what they want from a model and is capable of achieving that to a satisfactory level for little old me.

The first entry of pictures shows my recent Wolf Lord minature. This dude was a present for my best mate (he went and found the aforementioned 1.5kpt CSM army when it got lost in the post) that I gave him recently (he loved the model and has used it in every game since he got it, about 10 or so). Below are some WIP pictures, sadly this model is also with the 1.5k marine army in NZ and so WIP photos are all I got for now. lol.




It is a Space Wolves Lord.. but I decided to attempt to mix my own lighter blue. Despite it being a lot less subtle than the usual SW colour I quite liked it and the addition of a white helmet and some marks across his armour sorta sang history at me.

My new project is an updated version of Abaddon the Despoiler. Here are some WIP snaps..


As you can see Drach'nyen is missing atm because I am moving it from a previous Abaddon across to the new one (I liked how I painted the last one and decided not to risk an attempt to recreate it). I based the model on the picture from the last two editions of Codex chaos and his portrait from the 2nd edition codex.

Good to see Abby being 'sized up', poor sod was looking distinctly wee last time I saw him on the table.

Loving the new Abaddon

Nice work on the Chaos Cross.

Thanks. Update of Abaddon...



Not finished painting him yet.. will have some better pictures when I do.

WIP Bloodthirster...





Bloodthirster in process of being painted...





Ego trip for any fans of arguably the strongest single CC character in the game.

That's some seriously awesome trophy action there. The head on that thing is great too. Though the rope hook thing on the 'nid head kinda confuses me...
The wolf lord looks very cool too, if a little roughed up. Great work.

love the trophy! and the wolf lord, ill def look through whatever you post up!

Thanks! Just putting final touches on Abaddon and Bloodthirster, should have some pictures up during the week. Otherwise I reckon I may either start making the four members of Abaddon's chosen or re-do my Thousand Sons....

I was trying to aim for a silly parody of the Rule book picture where the Bloodthirster has his whip around the carnifex's throat. This was meant to be how that fight concluded... the Carnifex ripping the whip free of the GD's grip just as the Bloodthirster cuts it's head off in time to go hammer an avatar....you know.. as you generally do! lmao
