Yeah yeah Niall, Blood Angels are the best. Assault Marines as Troops. Reduced cost Razbacks, move 12" Vindicators. Whatever. Lets see how the tournament goes!!

Here's a last update on plastic shrike before I go to bed. The left leg isn't going just as good as I had hoped. Here its blutacked to the ruin to get a sense of pose, but I might have to sculpt a new thigh bit of the leg to get it looking anywhere near decent!

Feedback and constructive criticism are very welcome!! Also note the back pack that is being glued together with the aid of a highly sophisticated model building technique, I call it 'Clothes Pegs'. I helps get a smooth fit.

I might have.....

Very impressive nights work my friend!!! I really need to paint like a beast if i am to be ready for gaelcon, and trim my list by 2 points!!!!

Nice looking stuff. Especially on the first page so far.

Keep the work up!

Very naughty Vitruvian, but an easy mistake to make!

Niall, I'm going to have to paint like a fox with a burning desire to paint really fast!!!

Thanks Newt but I have to confess, most of the stuff on the first page isn't mine. Korvydae and the freehand are just pictures I was using for inspiration! But the scouts and the tacticals on the bottom of page one are mine.

More updates to come! I just hope I can get this leg positioned and glued in place!!

How is he coming along?? I am going to hit the hay early tonight, cream crackered!!! Will paint tomorrow when i'm home from work!!!!

He is coming along nicely!! His body is all glued back together and I'm quite happy with the pose achieved! I'm going to spray him tonight so this will be the last photo of him before paint! I'm going to green stuff the knee and left shoulder join slightly, just to take the angular gaps out. I hope I can paint him up to do him some sort of justice!!

Tournament this weekend in Dublin so I'll let you know how I get one, and hopefully I'll get some good photos too!!

He looks very very badass!!!! congrats!!

Sorry for the long hiatus, I've been gaming and collecting more than painting and WIP Blogging!

But here it is; a wee teaser for ya's for my summer project. This wasn't planned and came as a surprise to me, but I have enough men to make a full company of Space Marines! This is the dream and now the plan is to get them all painted to a tabletop standard and get all the kudos and praise that is available

So your not going to show what I asked...

Sorry Miss Dee - I can't remember what you asked!! Was it about the Land Speeder Storm? Or the Transfer Sheet? I'm so bad at completing projects, but this summer I've just laid out all my Raven Guard so I can get them all painted up and beautiful.

looking forward to finished shirke!
Keep it up!

The Flamer guy on page 1 who had a separate canister wanted to see the back where the canister went.

@S.J.Mccartney: Hello again,

Little update on the Raven Guard codex. back in January I joined The Codex Project when it debuted, and since then have had a massive, massive, massive rework of the codex. As of earlier last week it now is an official playtest codex for the site!

www.thecodexproject.com/


We axed all the characters I invented (aside from the Master of the Shadows, the CM) and stuck to the ones in the fluff. And using said fluff (mostly inspired by the Ordos Umbra) we came up with a completely new unit that replaces both the Sternguard and the Vanguard. In addition to all of this, we've tweaked the troops choices a bit, limited the vehicles, and are currently working on writing fluff and balanced psychic powers.

We'd be honored if you playtested it.
