@ Darkvoidof40k- Cheers for the info while I can see what you mean about the decrease in importance I would certainly like to play a few big games just for the fun of it. Hopefully I can get a few 1750pts games in sometime this week.

I still need to iron out my 1.5k list and get a few more bits for it (another speeder and pod).

@ Sageheart - Cheers

Need help, just send a PM my way.

Or you can go to the army list section..

Update on my new sergeant

He looks a bit "rough", but knowing you and the fact that this isn't completed yet, I have a feeling he's gonna turn out beautiful (like the rest of your army )!

well he still only wip

Heres some more updates

Chapter Master WIP




Sergeants





I am also repainting my Vampire countess, not sure if I like how the dress came out




Dark Elf Sorceress WIP

Loving those marines!

Cheers mate! Here is a update on my chapter master, I hope you like him now he has a bit of paint on him, still not finished but he is starting to look rather nice




I think I will need to to buy a proper digital camera at some point.

He's coming along really well! I love the freehand on the cloak!

IMO everything just needs to be "defined" if y'know what I mean; smoothed out so to say.

Then again, you're the painting master, so don't listen to me.

The only thing I dislike (but only slightly ) is the helmet. No way would I want Calgar's ugly mug on that model, but I think a different helmet would've been better, as on a model already crowded with detail, the big Terminator helmet is just too big.

Regardless, I can't wait to see the finished product.

Cheers mate, well I guess it depends what you feel needs smoothing out for me its really the most of the skills, the rope on the chest piece, the metal (I have redone this anyways), green bits, gold might want touching up and then some work on the base.

I think I also need to do a little more work on the blood raven symbol on the cloak, overall I would say the model is about 80% done. Te other thing to bear in mind is just how much larger this picture is when compared to the actual model so certain things will stand out unlike when your holding the model in your hand.

I agree, the freehand symbol is a bit off, but is better than anything I could achieve . IMO you just need to straighten out the "wings" a bit more and make them more pointy to the end.

Try this:

Hope it helps, especially for the rest of your army! (it's amazing what can be found by accident.. )

That's actually how I normally do it but the main problem wit that method is I would have to redo parts of the blending on the cloak. I can see what I need to do a fic the symbol up anyways.

Well Chapter Master is finished now

Absolutely stunning! It must look amazing on the tabletop!

Cheers fella, well I'm not still not 100% happy with the green parts

Good job on the freehand, and the chapter masters pose is amazing!

Cheers Its only really a very simple conversion with the chapter master but I certainly think it is affective. I still have to tweak him a bit as I can't get some of the skulls or green bits looking right, arg :(

Very nice work.

Cheers , I also have another tactical squad I'm working on atm which I should have painted up either by the end of the day or tomorrow, for the Blood Ravens I actually don't have alot more to paint until I can field a fully painte 2k + list

3 Pods, 1 tactical squad, finish scouts, repaint Raider, repaint assault cannon dread, repaint assault termies, finish command squad.

beautiful models! great work

Cheers, hopefully I will have finished drop pod to post tomorrow.

Well here is some updates..

First is a WIP of a drop pod I just traded and have been trying to repaint (it was originally purple and cream..), I have taken the seats out and will be using it as a dreadnought drop pod.



Next is a combat squad I have been working on



And finally I have something I paintedmany many years ago (during 4th ed I think), I think be wondering if I should repaint it, get a new base and see about starting a Skaven army!



I recently also traded away most of my old empire and some old daemons for a bucket load of DE, I think my 1k army is closer to 3.5k now

As I dont use special characters I have decided to convert the dragon into a standard dread lord on dragon if I ever have the urge to use one ( I did not paint it and it will be repainted )



DE BSB



Aekhold Hellbrass WIP

That. Drop. Pod. Is. Amazing.

As for the rest of that stuff.. can't wait to see it! - if not for the models then for the paintjob you give 'em!

Cheers mate, glad you like the pod so far, it is certainly not finished yet, I cant really do a lot more on it until I can buy some more paints, sadly my devlun mud and red gore and pretty much gone now :( I also need to get some sort of wire mesh to put over the floor just so it looks more like it should be a dreadnought pod. I also need to to figure out what a effective way of painting scorch marks on the hull as this is really a test pod, I have another 2 to do. Thankfully this does give me a rough idea how long it takes to paint a pod! Now all I need to do is get my hands on some thunder hammer and storm shield arms, paint a few bits and I have a 1.5k list painted and ready to go, after that I just need to find a tournament to enter

Well here's another updated, I thought I would try out a different effect for doing power weapons, if I'm honest I'm not 100% sure it gone 100% right. When I started to paint the blending on diagonal lines (regal to white) i should have started the base shad with much thinker lines, maybe I should just stick with the normal method.

While I'm not a massive fan of NMM I might give it a try at some point is seems the in think atm.

Wow, loving the paintjobs, and it's nice to see aekold helbrass once again, loved the model and fluff, shame they've nerfed him for quite some time!

Cheers mate, glad you like what I have done so far It does however seem like a never ending pile of models :(

Well here is a small update, my first attempt at a zombie, still very WIP but suggestions would be welcome
