A small update tonight I decided to paint the unattached wing before I errr... attached it to the Daemon Prince. I will probably attach it after I finish the model now as I think it will make painting a lot easier.

Heres the first side painted



Also while looking through my gallery at the images that have votes I've noticed they are on average about 7 out of 10, if anyone has any tips on how I can improve my painting I would greatly appreciate it. I want to work my way up to a constant 8 well thats the the goal I'm going to set myself.

Wings are lookin' good; they'll frame the model nicely with the red!

Looking good, that will look awesome when assembled.

Daemon prince looks awesome mate!!

First off better quality pictures would surely help.

Yeah that's a good point I have a light tent just haven't worked out the best way of using it yet, need to have a play with it at some point.

Good call on "paint first, attach later". I learned that the hard way w/ my Bloodthirster.

Well here we go the finished Daemon Prince, I keep finding bits I need to touch up but he's really finished now.

Tried using my photo tent for the first time, it will take a while to get used to it and It doesn't help that my camera is ancient. Most of the photos came out ok apart from the last but its only for size comparison to show how huge this guy is.

Next up is to finish the two rhinos they are nearly there, just need to do a few more helmets and little bits.

Let me know what you think, I think its my best mini so far outdoing the Necrodefiler.













I will try and improve on the photos some how.

Some good stuff here!

OUT-standing!

Daemon prince is suhweeet

Looking good. The wings finish him off nicely!

Thanks all glad you like him , I expect he's going to attract every heavy weapon on the table

Nothing short of SPECTACULAR Gir.... holy s*&# man... looks just amazing!

Cheers Gits glad you like him

--------------------------

Ok I need some help for my next unit, I'm having problems getting some daemonette parts and wondered if any one might have any of these bits spare. I only need the three which would cost me to much to source/get hold of without buying a whole box.



I need these specific parts in the picture. Head, main body (dont need the unattached leg) and icon.

I have loads of Blood Angel parts for trade if anyone is interested.

Brilliant work on the DP!!!

Thanks glad you like him Skalk.

The only problem with hoard o bits is I would have to get a set of heads and bodies when I only want one of each, it makes it cheaper for me to buy a box when you add on P&P.

Loving the Demon Prince! Great work.

A small update on what to expect from the blog next.

Just finishing the two rhinos for the World Eaters at the moment and then I'll show you some pics of them and the 900 point force all together.

Then the next two projects will run side by side.

For my Chaos Army I'll be adding a female Slaanesh termicide unit, if it goes well they will be heavily converted and very feminine. Also I'll be adding a khorne Vindicator which I gave you a few ideas about a few pages back with a pic of the cannon with an LED inside. These two units need to be completed by some point in February for a 1750 point force.

-----------------

The next major project will be 1500 points of Skyrar's Dark Wolves, these will be a minor chaos influenced Space Wolf army. They will be based in a dead forest setting, I'll be sculpting lots of trees and logs for the bases for these and I'm going to try and give them all dynamic poses to suit the army.

Here's the army list that I will be building too. I have enough parts for all of the Grey Hunters and 3 of the Thunderwolves. I also have the las/plas turrets for the Razorbacks so I'm not doing to bad purchase wise.

After this I'll be looking at Necrons, I have an excellent theme for them. Its not been done before, I'm very excited but keeping it under wraps for now

There's so many others armies I want to start as well, its very hard to stay focussed on one at a time, things might change in March if the Chaos Legion codex turns out to be true as I still have lots of ideas for my world Eaters and The Reborn (Nurgle) but dont want to commit any more to them until I know whats happening.

There's also a huge amount of imperial projects but they are on the back burner for now, but you might see the odd model pop up here and there.

Well today I finished the Rhinos (all apart from a jem on the Eldar helmet which I just noticed).

Loads of pics of the this time round, lets see if you can spot the different chapters / races

Squad Alpha's Rhino









Squad Beta's Rhino









Both together



And a light up shot of the top hatches, its not easy getting pics as they never look the same as in real life.



As I've now finished the 900 points here's a very poor army shot (I'll try again when its day light over the weekend) . I still need to varnish half of them and add magnetic sheet to the bases ready for the end of the month.

Love the painting on those stonetusk (stonehorn? Can never remember) skulls! Good luck atthe tourney!

Said this in Warmill's thread but I will say it again, sweet looking rhinos!

Daemon prince is superb, I don't think I have ever seen one of those models painted and you have certainly done it justice!

That is 100% awesome. This is coming along nicely.

Thanks Warmill I'm going to need all the luck I can get I've no idea what my doubles partner is taking apart from Chaos Space Marines.

Thanks the Rhinos came out much better than I had hoped considering I don't like painting tanks, they were very daunting to start with but I'm looking forward to doing the Khorne vindicator now.

Cheers Skalk I'm trying to improve my painting skills and conversions with each army, trying out new things and always pushing my imagination further each time. I'm hoping the Slaanesh terminators and Dark Wolves will be another step up as I'll be going in at the deep end again with what I have planned.

I've been doing lots of stuff today but nothing that I can really give you images of.

All my World Eaters now have magnetic sheet on the bottom of their bases to make moving them around at tournaments more easier and I glossed all the blood drops on the berserkers.

Actually I did make a combi weapon for one of the rhinos as I had a few points spare its not great but will do, it wasnt something I really wanted to work on but sometimes the unexpected is required.

The OSL is especially dodgy lol

Those Rhinos are freakin' awesome!

This is great.

Thanks for the comments glad you like them, it really helps inspire me when I get loads of comments

A little bit of something different for you all today, consider it painting practice for a project that I'm trying not to start

Here be gold, imagine the emperors finest kitted out with this style of power armour, a clue for those budding marine fanatics there are only 96 remaining marines in the chapter.



Let me know what you think, when I do it on a real guy it will be smoothly blended. I painted this pad too close too my lamp and the paint dried a lot faster than expected.

Just read through the whole thread and there is a lot of impressive work here. Very nice Khornate Daemon prince with Zombie Dragon wings and those Rhino's are fantastic. I particularly like the use of beasts heads on their front, and the lighting effects really tie the whole model together.

And I presume the golden marine will be Celestial Lions then.

I like the color... and the texture to be honest...
