Comments welcome

I really like these two guys, but i feel that the slaanesh marine is a bit too brutal looking. Personally i always imagined Slaaneshi to be elegant in the way they do things and look.

How did you make the shoulderpads on these two guys? are they from WHFB models?

Thanks - they look like proper blood bowlers (I have the parts for a couple more - maybe I'll put these together). I also think a skinnier slaaneshi champion might be an improvement, maybe a modelling project for the future?

The shoulder pads are from the Ork Ard Boyz set - they also work great on terminators (if you want a more brutal, or pre-heresy look). The ones on the Khorne blocker are from the Chaos knights kit.

Wow, I dont know how I've missed this thread. You have some amazing conversions here Laney i dont even know where to begin so i'll just tell you my favorites, those nurgle scouts, that carapace armor guardsman (how did you do the knee-pads so sharp and symmetrical?) and that recent unit of chaos warriors, all truly inspiring stuff here. Please keep us updated on your work, its a pleasure to see!

I am now accepting commissions for any hobby project! I've been in the hobby since '92. Specializing in traditional brush methods, creating a gritty dark aesthetic. From single character models to entire armies. From individual terrain pieces to entire table tops. From tabletop level to masterclass level painting. From purchasing and assembly to leveling up your assembled armies paint job. If it has to do with the hobby I can do it! Hit me up and let's chat about your project!

@genom.cor: Thanks, I did the knee pads on the carapace guardsman using black colour shapers (a flat black one) and an exacto blade to cut the edges to size.

All I've done in the last month is undercoat the chaos warriors. But I do have another WIP that I want to share soon.

The early pics are on this thread (I'll post pics here when I get time)

Built and start to paint a regular Blood Angel



Built (still WIP) a mini Diorama for the Prisoner Exchange at Deathsquadsgame...

The bit on the back of the servitor bloke is from a Heresy Miniature... the rest are space marine or IG/IGcommand box parts. I had plans for Napalm Ned - but the part was too perfect for my needs...

Your painting is so very sharp and the conversions look excellent. Glad to see you back around w/ updates. Really like that Terminator, looking forward to seeing where it goes because it looks horrifically brutal.

Some more stuff to show. I've been working on a Descent of Angels list. I have planned all the minis and built two sanguinary priests, a librarian, a squad of vanguard vets and a few assault squad members. Still got a squad of sanguianry guard, a plastic dante and the rest of two assault squads to build. Once that's built and painted I'm going for a new blood angels army to replace my not so impressive current force.

I plan on playing them as a successor chapter of my own devising, with one of the following names (if you have a favourite please tell me)...

Angels Incruentatus (meaning Bloodless)
Furious Angels
Avenging Angels
Angels Repentant/Penitent
Sons of Lucifer
Shadow Angels
Angels Cimmerian/Black Angels (a little too close to the dark angels)

Anyway, here are the WIP pics...

Thanks - I really dislike the usual lightning claws. Easy to do...

Take a regular power fist and cut the fingers off up to the first joint (leave the thumb), leaving a flat surface.
Take a terminator lightning claw and cut off all the claws (I used wolf claws for the longer claws).
Glue them onto the fingers and adjust to make sure they are evenly spaced.

Job Done

sweet, thanks. I'll likely steal it for my chaos termis or chosen, seeing as i love the Chaos termilord lightning claws. I dont like the loyalists so much, they feel.... wrong, to me.

It did take a while to get something new to show - but glad you like it! I've been building, just not posting... 2 furioso dreads, 2 assault squads, 4 priests (including a plastic corbulo) sanguinary guard, plastic dante and mephiston and and honour guard (without jump packs) and a stormraven (still in the box that one).

Here are a couple more pics of the Vanguard (someone popped round in the middle of the last post)...



Colour scheme is: red armour, red helmets (for all assault marines), silver detail on veterans, grey on regulars, green eye lenses, bone coloured wings and dark blue blood drops.

Still not sure on the name though (the majority seem to already be a chapter of some description). Avenging Angels, or Angels Incruentus seem to be the best options (Furious Angels seems a little silly and Penitent/Repentant already exist). Any other ideas?

Cheers Laney

I've also been working on this 'prisoner' - The Caretaker - a genestealer hybrid left to wander the Space Hulk they are travelling in while the brood sleeps. He is made to be a special character for the 40k skirmish game Deathsquads - check it out if you fancy playing a smaller scale version of 40k (perfect way to justify those truescale marines you always wanted!)

Boston!

beautifully done The OSL is fantastic, the plasma coils look great and the green is awesomely subtle. I like color palette, especially the orange. The one critique I can offer is that all the colors seem a little bright for the mutated denizen of a space hulk, but that's just me. The conversion work done is fantastic, and really rather creepy.

Cheers guys - I'm quite proud of The Caretaker. My wife is always telling me to paint things brighter so I'll blame her! The Blood Angels will return, but I'm working on another IG squad (this time Praetorian based) and here is the commander... Major Archie 'Iron' Giant, commanding officer of the 75th Kelvian Brigade, Sapper Regiment.

He's still WIP - so C and C welcome...

Ta Rogue Wolves - His bionic leg is a kitbash of two claws from a furioso dread close combat weapon and two antennae pieces from a battle fleet gothic imperial cruiser plastic kit (they make for great bionics. Though it would be tricky to make a bent leg version of this.

I've just got the laspistol, grenades and servo skull to go and he should be finished.
