You don't need more detail than what he already provides. I've been holding off on NMM until I get to a model that I feel needs it, so brave of you to do it on this one!

Thanks so much! I was going for a nice simple wasteland look on the base, tried adding some grass and debris but it all looked very out of place.

Thanks! Was nice stretching some old painting muscles and trying out some new techniques

Thanks Kyoto!


I have pretty much finished my side project of an Imperial Remnant Star Wars Armada force, I added a few more ships of the line, support vessels, and of course, a super star destroyer!

This was a lot of fun to try something at a brand new scale, I may do a Rebel or CIS fleet as well in the future, rebels get a lot of fun weird looking ships but the CIS get a Lucrehulk so I am torn on which one to pick away at...









Back to our regularly scheduled broadcast though, I did another big ship, the Thunderhawk Transporter, capable of bringing either two Rhinos or a Landraider into the middle of a battlefield. It also has the added downside of filling up the last bit of space in my hobby room.





My 700th Thousand Sons model had to be something significant so I settled on the Saturnine Dreadnought and added some fancy freehand to make use of those massive pauldrons



I also decided to try out a new plasma glow effect as the one I did previously was a little simple



I have also completed the set of 9 captains that operate the Thousand Sons Legion. The final entrant is Phosis T'Kar of the 2nd Fellowship. Finding a helmet accurate to his art has been very difficult, I ended up taking something vaguely similar and then manipulating it in Blender to better match my vision.





Here is the team all assembled!

Love those Heresy-era Thousand Sons. Always one of my favorite Legions and those really capture the look. Really nice work.

Valete,

700 models in your 1k sons… probably multiple crew members in the vehicles tipping you over the 1000 Marine mark surely! Love the latest addition, the freehand pyramids of Tisca are fantastic love the collection of Captains as well
