Cheers mate, glad you like my blood angels I'm really enjoying painting them at the moment and I'm actually getting stuff painted much faster than I usually do.

Here's a shot of my magentized Razorback that I've now finished the body of. Just need to finish painting all the parts that magentize onto it and it's good to go

I like these, the painting is really nice.

Sick razorback, love the red color.

By any chance, are you going to pick up any of the special characters? I would love to see your work on those.

Thanks guys,

I've not got any plans to get any of the special characters at the moment but it would be a definite possibility for the future. At the moment I'm more focused on getting the army into a fit fighting state so the next things I'll be getting will probably be some assault marines or a librarian.

Cool, I look forward to it.

Also, if you happen to have a chance, the Death Company box has tons of great bits to use for assault marines. Might not come cheap if you buy the box itself, but maybe you know someone with some bits lying around.

The Sang Guard box has a ton of stuff as well but it also lacks in useable arms.

I love Librarians they are one of my favorite units because of the versatility. I am thinking of getting a Bike Liby soon and making a bike/JP army. They could be apart of my 5th company

I might have to send you a Razorback to build and paint for me. . . .

Great work so far. The red is just the right colour, are you thinking of adding any weathering to the razorback?

Been quite busy recently with work and a few other things. But I've managed to get the lascannon gunner finished for my tactical squad:





That brings the squad up to 6 strong and I've started work on painting the sergant with combi-plasma and powerfist now.

I'm also waiting on the parts for my commissioned pieces to arrive which should be here tommorow so I'll be able to start work on them soon.

Finished all the extra parts for my razorback now apart from the guns so should be able to have some pcitures of it in rhino mode in a bit just waiting for the varnish to dry.

Loving the scope on the lascannon, Very realistic!

Cheers mate I was particularly pleased with the results of that myself.

Here's a picture of my magentized Razorback/Rhino in Rhino mode pretty much finished now. As for the Razorback parts I still need to finish those and get my hands on some Assault Cannons.

Keep it up man, this army is looking great, i can't wait to see what happens

Cheers mate, I'm really enjoying painting them at the moment and I'm rather looking forward to having a fully painted usable army one day

I'm loving your red, that said, I'm loving everything about your army, keep it up mate!

Thanks, will do, comments like that really keep me motivated to keep going.

Hey Alex! Great work on the rhino/razorback and also loving the green on the scope of the lascannon! I've run out of devlan mud of all things with still 6 tacticals to paint up! when doing your blazing orange highlights, what sort of brush to you use???

wow! the lenses on the Razorback/Rhino's vision slits are amazing! great work keep it up!

Cheers mate, I am rather proud of the lenses on all of my models

@niallkissick: I use 4 types of brushes for all my painting a GW drybrush for drybrushing the bases, GW Standard brush for putting on basecoats, GW Fine detail brush for most detail work and a 4/0 I got at a random art store for any really small detail. The Blazing Orange highlights are done with the GW Fine detail brush.

that is a very nice red, how did you paint it?

love the libbie dred too!

There's a tutorial for how I paint my blood angels on my website you can check it out here:

Cheer about the librarian furioso I should probably go do some more work on that thinking about it

thanks!

Unless I'm mistake...
Is the right hand of the Dreadnought from a Gundam Wing Leo Action figure?

Yep that's the toy it's from, found it in the attic and thought it would fit in perfectly.

Ok guys update time first off here's the finished Razorback I've been working on now armed with Assault Cannons that I converted from the Heavy Bolters that come with the kit and some landspeeder Assault Cannons. I'm very happy with getting this done as it seems like I've been working on it for ages.



I've also been working on a Blood Angels Captain with dual lightning claws for a commission that I've now finished and I'll post pictures of that in a bit when the varnish has dried.

Using spare parts and bits I've found lying around or bought/ traded for I've also been able to convert a 5 man sternguard squad with 2 combi-meltas and a combi plasma which I'm quite looking forward to painting but they will have to wait as I still have a good bit of commission work to do.

As always C&C appreciated

And here's the Blood Angels captain that I was commissioned to paint. Got to work on his honour guard now.

nice captain

Your red is so crisp!

If your interested in how I paint the red there's a tutorial on my website:

Looking good, don't lose steam on these babies til you are done!

Thanks mate, I'm really hoping I don't lose steam with these as that's what normally happens when I start building a new army but hopefully with updating this blog and getting my commission work I'll stay enthusiastic

I love that captain. I will be using him with great care. Him and his Honor Guard
