Ugly librarian? I think he's a great mini, personally!

Gorgeous stuff! Also, I'm planning stealers that are a similar scheme as those and I was wondering if I could get a better pic and a recipe? Thanks!

@heretic tom - the broken front panel? Just done with a pair of plastic snips

@aov - it's the base and his head I don't like

@genom.cor - the flesh is rakarth flesh as a base and then shaded and glazed with seraphim sepia and agrax. The claws and chiton are a mix of xv-88 and abbadon black. There's loads more photos of the stealers here >> http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/images-91816-50507_Purge%20The%20Xenos%2C%20Suffer%20Not%20The%20Alien%20To%20Live.html

Cheers for looking in guys

Very nice poseing on the Dread Jan, you added some lovely dynamism to the miniature. Impressive progress on your list as well, you had better get buying more!

Steady on T!!! Got enough figs to last me for a while at the slow rate I paint. Doing a big paint sesh tonight. On hour 6. Tuned into the live painting streams on Twitch and painting away at four SH termies!!!

'stealers.are looking awesome. I really liked the DW Dark Angel dude too.

EDC

Cheers EDC. Had a big paint sesh yesterday. Crazy long. Working on space hulk termies. Last 4 of the regular guys

Loadsa painting done last night fuelled by coffee and the streamers on Twitch. Made a good start on the last four of the boys and more getting done today

Got all the Reds on the final four done at last. Took a while but that's the slog bit done. Gun Metals next then blacks then golds then bling. Seeing an end in sight!!!! Till I notice the 11 stealers still needs paint :/

Termies coming along nicely buddy

Chefs AoV. Getting those reds down on four at a go. Phew. Came out well though. Got to see the painted termies and 'stealers in action this morning. Looked good

You had a game of Space Hulk then? How'd that go?

So I presume once you've done space hulk you'll be picking up Lost Patrol, so you can do some more Stealers and BA

EDC

Not.A.Chance!!! I have really enjoyed painting these BA termies though. But after this lot I think that'll be it for the BAngles for the future. As for 'stealers, after Spce Hulk, I do still have all the cult guys from Overkill to do. Thankfully there's only a few purestrains in that set. 'Stealers & Nids - probably my least liked faction. Not my most hated 40K group but urgghh - defintely not an army I'd ever consider collecting outside of a boxed game like Overkill

A shame as I reckon you would paint up an exceptional BA army, good to see more progress on the Terminators...not long until they are all done.

Cheers T. I don't mind the ba as much as I used to but even with the darker red I do them in, I don't think I could do a full army of them. I really have enjoyed these guys though. Very happy how they've come out

Great work on that DWA, Jan. I like the look of the Dread as well.

Cheers Az. Really have enjoyed painting the dw figs. Should have the last of the termeis up soon s

The Terminators are coming along really well.

great work on the stealers as always

Thx Joe. Got a little done this morning before work. Trying t do them and have started Eldrad as well o.O

I've a load of other stuff that is supposed to be getting paintlove before this guy but couldn't help but make a start on him

Looking very cool. Amazed to see such a crisp shiny silver from you Jan

He's DW -the shiny arm is their thing. On the marines it's fine but sized up onto a dread.......undecided. Silver is just base for now, havent added in a wash and the glaze yet which will tone it done a tad

Very excited to see how this guy turns out Jan, I know you'll do awesome.

Hasn't just been all work on Eldrad this week. Got some more done on the DW Blackshield Dread. He's coming along. The golds need work - not mad keen on the hue of them at the mo but easier mouth to fix. Very happy with his left arm. Having that much real estate in bright shiny silver just looks........Urgghhhh. Needs something to make it sit better so went in with the glazes I've done on the smaller DW members and exaggerated it a bit more. Think it works well

He's looking top-notch there Jan. Good call on the glaze for his silver arm. Having too much metallic paint can be problematic for the overall vibe of the model, one of the main reasons why I'm not very drawn to grey knight armies, too much silver.

Kinda love/hate the GK. like the figs but the total silver thing (course you can play around with that) is just a bit much. Love some of the sculpts though. Not something I'd really collect though.
Dread is getting there. First time I've had a dread so that's a bit of fun. Generally nice fig if a bit static. Hard to make it dynamic as it essentially is a large dishwasher with a gun. The assault cannon option is horrible though so that's been ditched - just too stumpy

While Eldrad is finally done and just waiting some proper photos, I have actually being working on other stuff this month. Namely getting the last four regular SH termies done, another of the overkill marines (Cassius this time - not as fun as the others I've done so far ) and a DW Blackshield dread. Hoping to get this wee band of merry men done by the end of the month.......hoping

Bit better shot. Up early and finished off the golds. I'll finish them one by one now rather than batch painting them for the final details; lenses, seals et al

Wow it's impressive how you can keep the paints from falling out of their holder like that.
