I love it!

The scale is actually how I would imagine a boss's weapon

Thanks man. Next issue will be finding a proper sized Ork head to use for my boss, and potentially a body. If anyone can recommend a fantasy ork model that's about the size of a meganob, or larger i would be grateful.

I'm trying to paint Space Hulk but we keep playing it so I'm always delayed :-)

Here's my last stand against my son's horde, I nearly made it out :-(

I've always loved the space hulk minis, do you have any wip pics?

I've been turning a DV hell brute into a tzneetch soulgrinder
With greenstuff and drywall anchors!

Thise drywall screws are well used gonna have to comandeer that one. Good work

Got some zombies and Traitor Guard to build, but first, I had some Space Marines parts and having been reading the first few Horus Heresy novels I wanted to try my hand at a Luna Wolf. WIP pics on my gallery.

I'll have to get some pictures up once she's in an easier to photograph state (all black has always been my photographic bane), but right now, I'm working on a Skathach Wraithknight with a few minor tweaks to make her a little more Corsair-y (Aethersail extensions on her back fins).

I recently picked up both 'Horus Heresy' boxes so I'm starting a mkiii Thousand Sons and a mkiv Death Guard army (along with the start of a tau army that I intend to model after the DAK [and some 1/35 DAK tanks.])

I essentially finished my stormwing, just need to do the canopy.

Now I am starting on my assault marines

Picked up abrush for the first time in 14 months on Sunday, started doing some Admech and Skiitari models.
Trying to find a decent tone for the red cloaks/clothes of the units. Steady color transitions for cloth is not my strong side, so a lot of experimenting.

OJJ

I just bought a load of Tau, so will be looking to get 500 points up and running for gaming

I did quite a lot on my assault marines this weekend. Looking forward to getting them finished what with the new assault rules coming out

I'm currently chipping away at the minis from The Others. I love the sculpts, but I'm finding lots of mould lines and the big beasties have some gaps that need filling.

Working on my kings of war Brotherhood army...using a variety of figures from GW empire range and also the fireforge Templar knights.
So far have 3/4 of the mounts done aka horses and demigryph knights but haven't even started the riders or any of the archer and warmachine. I am pretty happy with the progress so far but taking a break until my airbrush comes in the mail it will speed things up tremendously for the white basecoat on the Templar knights riders white is so hard to do smoothly with a brush.

Going to finish this army then work on painting up my Tau!

The ironjawz line should be your best friend! the ironjawz mega boss specifically should do fine! I believe the torso is just two parts as well so very easy to work with.

Space Hulk has been an ongoing project for ages. It takes me about 6 hours to paint a Terminator so it's hard to get the motivation up to do them

I need to base half my Tyranid army, but that's been put on hold until 8th comes out and I decide if I can be bothered playing it.

Got a BB Skaven and Orc team both about half finished.

Need to put the finishing touches on a 1/48 A6M5 Zero.

Just starting a pair of 1/48 scale Fw190 A8's and a 1/32 Hawker Tempest.

Renegades. Lots of Renegades.

What a motley crew!

Not had much time to finish off my assault marines, which I would like done before 8th ed.

So who else is just prepping models for 8th ed?

Gonna finish them off hopefully very soon and then go on aspree of buying 40k thats not gonna get painted for aaaaagggggeeeeeeeeeeessssss and ages and ages.

Thats a great looking color palette you've chosen there. You using GW paints?

Nearly finished my assault marines! Weapons and basing to do

Put some nipple horns on a Tartaros termie to make him look more like a Thousand Son and going to prime and basecoat him if I have time. If he works out then the rest of the squad is going to be on the painting line very soon.

I am finally getting started on my 30K Marines after having the box sets sitting here for over a year. Most of the figures are put together and not I am starting on the painting.



Stormravan interior and first of the 30K Ultramarines WIP

My current "project" is a small 2nd ed. Chaos Space Marine force.

As in 2nd Ed models?

I'm currently working on creating a new line of paints that closely match the GW line of colours, but in a dropper format and in a variety of sizes that, from the feel of the community so far, would be highly beneficial.

Currently I only have one colour created that is around a 99% match cover and shade wise, but now that I have the principles down I should be able to start creating the other shades in quick succession, Just trying to get the collective thoughts of the community on the project.

Here is a link to my thread which has some more information
Alternative Paint Range equal to Citadel Colours - Thoughts

I started building some Tau yesterday, magnetising crisis suits etc

Real nice work
