WOW! Thats so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The white is so clean and crisp, too and the free hand is good also. Soz to be a painm, but could you give me some more tips on painting the white and freehand please? I've been looking all over the web but there are very few good tuts...

Excellent crisp white, nice color choice on the lense. Good free hand. Just finish a squad.

Really, really great painting. Love the way the white looks clean, yet stained; the sort of white you'd expect from a horror story. Awesome work. One thing, I think you should tone done the greens, as the dead, white look worked really well and it just clashes abit. Great work though!

Bloody beautiful!

NOW DO A SQUAD

Thanks Hazzer, I will put your tutorial up later but surely the wip pics help. Black undercoat up to codex grey up to skull white.

I know, I know, white is not a colour to rush though!

I might tone down the green on the gun, that should keep him looking crisp!

Thanks Eirkr, I'll get going on the squad now!

Cheers Boss Gutrippa!

He made the front page of the gallery by the way and he isn't even finished!

Thanks man! Is that all it is? And a lot of blending!!!!!!!!!

So just secured this chap off Ebay for an amazing £35 including delivery! Awesome!



Looking forward to getting some paint on him!

Very good price. Are you going to change the pose?
Peace

The FW pre-heresy armor sets look so nice with your paint scheme.

Good luck with the Contemptor, I have mine built and primed but can't bring my self to break the painting stalemate.

I would really like to change the pose but before I undercoated it I tried to pull it apart but whoever built it used some good glue & I was worried about snapping parts so I guess I'm stuck with the pose.

Thanks Overwatch I too need to get off my backside and do some painting, I want this to be a tournament army more fluffy than competitive and aimed at best painted rather than winning tournaments. Also just got myself a RT landraider from ebay, I'll paint it up and see how it looks before I commit to putting it in the force, they do look a little dated espescially next to the prometheus!

Awesome work mate. Cant wait to see more progress.. understandably going to take a while with such a demanding scheme but will be well worth it!

Thanks, they are on a bit of a hold at the moment as I'm working on Golden Demon entries. I really just want to play with the army now though!

Some very good news for me to share with you all, my wife and I are expecting a little girl in December! Might be the death of my hobby though.

Grats, regardless of hobby morbidity. Hopefully not on that last part though.

Thanks Whale music!

excellent work man keep them going

Love all the death guard IMO they are the coolest looking pre heresy army

Wow these, are really wicked, I love the Death Guard.

Can't wait to see more.

Thanks cormadepanda, slowing down at the moment should pick up again after Golden Demon.

I agree, decided I was going to do a preheresy army and they were by far the best colour scheme!

Thanks evilcheese I will post as soon as I do some more.

A very cool link to some pre release hardware available at games day this year from Forge World! Hmmmmm come to papa.

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Events/UK_Games_Day_2012.html#fellblade

I can see me getting some goodies for this project if they haven't sold out.

Yeah some really nice if rather expensive stuff there. I really like the Fellblade the most.

This is looking fantastic, and you now have background rules you can use if you want to spend £70. Congratulations about the girl as well.

I wish you the best sir

It is a very cool tank, I don't have the spare cash at the moment though

I will be getting the book eventually but I'm not sure I will get it at games day. It looks beautiful but £70 is quite expensive!
I'm getting quite excited about my daughter arriving, I'm getting close to finishing the nursery and the mural I'm doing on one of the walls. It is a fairy forest which I'm hoping is enchanting rather than creepy. I'll probably post a pic once it is finished.

Thanks Young Logan.

The coolest Dad would paint a vague, ominous shadow of a Lictor stalking the fairy forest.

I guess you're just not cool enough...

Mmm I think the wife might have something to say about that! On a positive note I have finally finished the first Death Guard marine, pics tomorrow! I entered him in the open competition at Golden Demon on the off chance he might make the cut but it was too much of a long shot and he didn't make it. Still a really cool start to the squad!

Got the new Horus Heresy book from Forge World! The primarch stats are quite cool! Didn't like the Angron model so passed on him. I did get some of the new Cataphractii Terminators with special weapons!

Is the Angron model to scale and playable?

He is big but not huge, he comes on a large base with three other marines on it being knocked out the way and you can detach him on a terminator sized base from the big one. I'll try and upload a pic.

WHAT. Jealous!

May I poke you a little about the Emperor's Children? Do they run with any special rules specific to the Legion? Any motion towards Fabius Bile's experiments upon the higher ranking officers of the Legion? Eidolon, as an example, received his noise-marinesque//sonic attack before Istvaan III.

So here is the finished model though I have already noticed something that also needs doing now I am looking at the photos!







Erikr,

As a treat here is the stat line for Fulgrim WS 8 BS 6 S 6 T 6 W 6 I 8 A 5 Ld 10 Sv 2+/3+ 380 pts

There are additional rules for him, such as war gear etc and there are rules for legions as a whole which are quite cool & of course you get to use all the new funky pre-heresy tanks etc.

Mortarion the Reaper WS 7 BS 5 S 6 T 7 W 7 I 5 A 5 Ld 10 Sv 2+/4+ 425 pts

Angron WS 9 BS 5 S 7 T 6 W 5 I 7 A 6 Ld 10 Sv 3+/4+ 400 pts

Horus The Warmaster WS 8 BS 5 S 7 T 6 W 6 I 6 A 5 Ld 10 Sv 2+/3+ 500 pts

These are the four Primarchs covered in this book plus a few more units for each army and a shed load of back ground.
