Nearly time for the besquiggling, Knightley? And possibly some lightning on the force weapons?

You know if you were not such a great painter and your squiggles so attractive this blog might get repetitive, As it is, we have another fantastic looking squad, brilliant work sir. Always look forward to clicking your blog.

@Warboss_Waaazag - Thanks man!

@Gits - Cheers

@Zerg - I know right, there isn't much left to do with the GK's! but there is heaps for my marines

@Cam - I sometimes worry it gets repetitive which is why I did a couple of years of randoms (Tau, Necrons and Chaos Demons)

Update: Been working on 5 Paladins throughout the days each has a different start to see what is quicker to do

Is it making it harder to do the whole squad when you do different stages on each one? It would seem that it'd be hard to keep track. Plus a lot of switching paints. They look good so far though!

@Zerg - Oh yes, getting into a flow then having to put it all aside to edge highlight armour means I have to really be on the ball to ensure I don't miss things, but it isn't monotonous thats for sure!

@EDC - Thanks dude!

@Aetare - Welcome to the blog! thanks for the comment

@Azazelx - As soon as these guys are done you'll get an army shot

Update: More random bits done

Yeah, I thought I was doing well to finish two models this week, and you're on track to finish two squads!

Headless Knights are a new one on me, I must say.

@Warboss_Waaazag - Thanks

@Gits - Well I'm going to be a happy squiggly machine who gets to make some new models (I haven't made anything for over 8 months if not more)

@Dysartes - Ha! It wont be two squads of guys in a week, but still I am going fast at this point (stay tuned for faces soon)

Update: Almost done

The hooded heads work pretty well, Knightley - any plans to convert up some Primaris Grey Knights once the proper kits for 8th Ed drop (as opposed to starter set models)?

@Zerg - Cheers, some of them needed to cut down as the had wide jaw areas and it didn't work with the head area, happy they work

@Dysartes - I have thought about it, but I have made my self a promise of not buying any more models till I have finished all the back log, I really like the look so its a good motivator!

@Cam - Hahah, just play them with no heads and call them invisible, love it

@Gits - No worries, I'm happy to wait.

Update: Here is the Thirteenth push picture, tomorrow will be the current marine/GK army shot as you've all asked so nicely
