@HalloweenBomber: There's an army shot up the page a bit, it's of everything I have painted. I'll do up another one once I have more stuff done.

I should have a proper update tomorrow.

SoG

I have to say these are all fantastic jobs that you did Son. Never thought of bone and purple but it looks good. I have a question though, I'm terrible at painting faces and it seems you are much better, wonder if you had a thing up for that or know of one?

I'll see if I can come up with a tutorial or something for faces.

It's been a while since I've updated but it have been working on stuff. Mostly collecting the remainder of my army and priming the stuff I have. I have 10 more scouts now that I'll be painting up once they're built as well as a Land Raider that needs priming. I hope to get more work done on everything later this week.

For now, here's a test of the static grass for the bases. I think it looks okay but want more opinions. Figured I'd do a test on a model I haven't used yet to see how it looks.



SoG

I managed to finish the armour on 4 of the Vanguard and on Shrike:





In addition to painting the Sons of Guilliman shoulder pad for my Deathwatch Squad.



SoG

I managed to get a couple more pads done. This time it's Blood Angels and Angels Porphyr. I realize the Blood Angels one is actually a company pad, but oh well.



Should be able to get more pads done every so often.

SoG

Two more pads today. Need to get rid of the hairs that I only noticed in these pictures, but they're finished otherwise. They're Iron Champions and Angels of Fire.



SoG

I'm loving the 3d chapter pads for your deathwatch. How many are you making? It'd be great to see a tutorial, maybe you could share your skillz?

To recreate sternguard bolters you can use the magazines off the stormbolter for the Rhino. If you're making Razorbacks or Preds you prob haven't used the Stormbolter anyway, and you can get two Sternguard style magazines from the one Stormbolter!

[edit - on closer inspection of your deathwatch squad it appears that you have already done that. I have no new knowledge to share.]

Awesome shoulder pads! Join games workshop and start to mass produce those!

Here's my mostly finished Lamenters pad. I need to do some more touch ups and give him a name before it's complete.



SoG

I managed to finish an Assault Cannon Terminator today.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
I managed to get a bit more done on the Vanguard. I finished the purple and the gold, barring some touch ups as I see them.









SoG

I've been working on a few things recently and finally have a few more updates.

First up is a Veteran for a new Command Squad I'm working on.



And here is his plasma gun:



I needed a second scout missile launcher and since I don't want to buy another box for one, I converted this:



I have also been working on the Deathwatch pads and finished the Marines Errant and Fire Angels pads.



Which brings me to the second in command/squad leader for the squad:



The background says they paint the armour black, but doesn't say anything about removing ties to their old chapter, best as I can tell, so I figured a more 'wolfy' SW would be okay, painted black of course.

Hope to have more updates soon.

SoG

I managed to finish the 4 Vanguard I was working on today, except for their jump packs.









I also started on the first Honour Guard of 5:



SoG

Where did you get those really huge freaking chain axes?

chaos bersekers. Oh yeah how much are the heads on your vanguard. i'm trying to do a prehersey feel.
Also what is the lore of this chapter i'm interested.

@Nuwisha: They're actually Forge World Chaos Chainaxes.

@Asherian Command: The heads came with the bodies in the FW Red Scorpions Vanguard set. If you want Pre Heresy, look at the Mk4 Red Scorpion Stuff.

SoG

Awesome thank you.

i always ferget that ive looked through this blog whenever i come across it, but its always awesome seeing your updates...
love the army

I started work on my Land Raider. Here's the only shot I got before my camera died.



SoG

you should really write up lore about your chapter.

@Asherian Command: I have a basic idea of them on the first page, but want to finish painting more before I think about their fluff.

I finished the highlights on the bone and started work on the purple. Still early days for it yet, but it's turning out okay.



SoG

I got a bit of stuff done since returning from holidays.

Converted a Sergeant for my 4th Tactical Squad (of AoBR Marines):


Finished the second of four plasma gunners for my second Command Squad:


Repositioning this guy's head took a while but I think it turned out alright.

Finally, here's a shot of about 2/3 of what I need to paint/convert. Some stuff in the pic is painted and is there right now for storage:


Hope to have more updates shortly.

SoG

Started painting some stuff up today.

3 Terminator:




10 Scouts




More to come shortly.

SoG

I have to say your army is comming along pretty well.
Just as mine , alot of people dont realize painting two colors on a army takes a long time... Your is awesome looking.

Oh gawd more terminators

I managed to get a cloak test for the scouts done. The scout himself is almost done, just need to touch up the skin and add highlights to the hair.



Is the cloak good how it is or does it need another highlight of Codex Grey/Fortress Grey 1:1?

SoG

Cool love the paint scheme.

I have to say I like it . NIce clean line.. I would do a very light dry brush/ dusting of a white to pick out the details and call it done.

Managed to get the rest of the cloaks on the scouts done, mostly. Need to tidy some stuff up a bit. Also, the flash makes them look worse than they are I think.



SoG

I managed to get the Scouts finished today, except for a few touchups.





And who needs fancy goggles with night vision and range finders when you can see things in 3D!?!



SoG

I finished the bone armour on a few more models today.

4 Terminators


5 Vanguard Vets


2 Assault Marines, Command Squad Vet, Tactical Sergeant


Hope to have the purple done tomorrow.
