Afraid not I don't trust spray varnish so I paint mine on. I'll be glossing him afterwards to make sure the paint stays on.

Wow, I'm only at page 16 and I had to stop to say you have some awesome work here! I'm loving everything that I'm seeing. Hope to get to see alot more when I get the chance to check out page 17+

Cheers DeathRex its gets better as the blog progresses and hopefully so does my painting skills, well that's what I tell myself lol

I finished Obliterator number 4 today, its not my best paint job by any means.

I wanted him to be dark and brooding an unhappy chappy.



Give us a kiss

That blit is sick looking!

Good stuff!!! I like the base colour too. Is that the paste again? I've got some now very useful!

Thanks tipios, yes its my magic paste again

Man if I saw that on the other side of the table I'd unload everything I had that was in range at it simply to get it off the table.

...that's a compliment btw

Scary!

Thanks Skalk and Cutthroat.

That's going to be the last update of the week as the Plague Marines aren't far enough into the painting process to finish tomorrow and the Dark Wolves will be strutting their stuff this weekend.

Its going to be interesting if I face a blob army I'll be out numbered 50 to one or something silly. I counted up I have 50 models in a 2500 point game.

Well I actually have a sort of update today.

Terminators prepare to disembark



All on their tray ready to go to the tournament tomorrow.

Also thought you might want to see some WIP shots of the great Nurgly one.

Oh yes, that is looking sweet!!!

Oh wow... both of those pics are very impressive!

Cheers guys due to the resin issue I have to keep hitting certain areas in washes to try and get it to stick I'm doing this while paintng my Plague Marines so a lot is what colour wash I'm using at the time which is giving a very interesting layer effect.

Also of note Graven and leadlegion are sponsoring a Paint-a-Deathwatch Marine Competition!

Graven's Paint-a-Deathwatch Marine Competition!

A found it quite fitting for this thread as they were supposedly originally made up of loyal Death Guard marines

(and yes Git's, I did steal the above directly from you!)

The great nurgley one's beasty is awesome! And thanks for the shout out!

Stop making me want to do Nurgle! Right now!


I cannot wait to see the finished product!

I cant either, it seems to be painting itself

Those are awsome! Nice work.

What model is that beasty made from?

Its the FW Kazyk The Befouled on Rot Beast model.

Looking really nice that Nurgle monster thingy!! Also glad to see you are coming to Badger Bash!

Cheers for the invite

Its going to be right after the new Chaos Codex hits so not sure whether to bring Chaos or the Dark Wolves.

Dark Wolves is the safer bet as I don't need to worry about learning new rules or having to emergency paint all the new good stuff

A few pics from the weekend from one game

Logans hit squad dishes out the dirt



Taking on the Vendetta squadron, I took down 5 out of 6 with my Cyclone Missile launchers



At the end of the day I drew two games and lost two, ah well. Some very nicely painted armies as well, I lost out winning best painted by a point

In game terms I played the following

Flesh Tearers - Really nicley painted army managed a draw in this game
Black Templars/Marines - Lost this game by a victory point it was so close. It was the other way round in the last tournament where I beat this player by a point.
Imperial Guard - As per pics this game was a draw which was quite amazing.
Eldar - I thought I had this game when I saw his army deployed but he took out two of my squads in his first turn before I had a go, I was out matched from then on and couldnt pull it back.

They guy that beat you out in the painting category must have really deserved it because your stuff is amazing all around. Sound slike you had a really great time. I'm really enjoying 6th Ed and I wish I could get way more games in. Like... 1 or 2 a week. I need to force my kids to play.

I played at a "welcome to 6th Ed" tourney at my FLGS this last weekend, went 1/1. Lost by 1 VP on a secondary objective. I got greedy and went for the win and split my fire between 2 squads at 2 targets instead of both squads hammering at 1 target and taking the tie. The other game was against Dark Eldar and the game turned out so horribly for my opponent I don't even consider it a victory and we didn't bother to count up VP.

That Vedetta army looks so cool!

The guy who got best painted had a really nicely painted Ultra Marine army, the only thing that I wasn't keen on was his allies detachment of Imperial Guard because it wasn't painted upto the same standard as the Ultras

I'm really enjoying 6th as well cant wait for my next event using 6th rules which will be in August.

Yeah it was excellent, when all six were on the table there wasn't much room until I started dropping them

I can picture in my head all the missiles firing up from the termies, with all the smoke trails every where

Finished a unit of Plague Marines this weekend, I'll also have Typhus for you tomorrow just need to finish his base and he's done.

I do have some other chaos things planned but I'm waiting to see if there is any news on the new chaos codex first, why cant GW just tell me so I can get on with my modelling and painting

Looking good G,

Very nice work! I especially like the character of the white armor.

I like them! Really like the blend of the green and flesh tones.
