Were they painted back when 4th edition was released? I have one of the same models that I recently found, and yours is much better!

Late to the year in review, but all looking good!

Would love to see you finish BSF - you are so nearly there

Thanks for sharing

The old paint jobs look pretty good for when you were starting out!

Fingers crossed your back let's you finish the kitchen so you can get back to hobbying....

Cheers, it’s quite stark, I think this place and YouTube have helped loads with any progress. Renovations are going ok. Seems to be a new issue most days, but we’re getting there I think!

Yeah, not long after, probably with craft paint that my parents got me. I think the silver and black ink wash were done later though

Thank igtr, I hope I manage to paint them all this year, there’s not too many so it shouldn’t be impossible

Yeah, they’re better than I remember! Kitchen is all painted, but I have more to do once the sparky fixes a socket.

Nothing overly exciting, but I built all of the Liberators for my daughter and the Blood Warriors for myself. The latter I even managed to rank up on 25mm bases without too much trouble! I might have to base them at different heights just to be sure though. I’m hoping to get some decent hobby time at the weekend to get the Panthers squad moving again.

Thanks for looking

Those Blood Warriors are some great looking models. Now if GW would redo the Berzerkers for 40k like that not sure I could stop myself from doing an army of them. Hoping your back gets better soon.

Seeing them ranked like that makes them extra scary. The only thing worse than Khornate wrath is organized Khornate wrath.

Pst, these bloodwarriors ARE khorne berzerkers if you got the bits necessary

As always gobert, i can't wait to see em painted.

It's always good fun seeing older paint jobs. Mine are definitely not as neat as that!

Blood warriors are looking good, especially ranked up. Will be interesting to see how GW treat the redo of their fantasy battle game, you might be ahead of the curve ranking them up!

I'm surprised that they rank up so well! They looked pleased with it too, all shouting

Nice to see the Mortal Realms enter this space, really fascinated that the Khorne models can rank up on those square bases.

gobert,

Exalted that two years of progress.

Cheers,

CB

Yeah, they’ve been a pleasant surprise. They might even jump the queue at some point. I reckon it wouldn’t be too much to swap out some weapons, maybe do a cut and shut job with some marine legs? As for my back, I’m a permanent cyborg now, so likely to have niggles for quite some time. More exercise would help I guess.

Yeah, the Khorne Berzerkers are scary, but have you seen the Khorne Bureaucrats? No? That’s because they’re so organised they kill everyone that sees them! The Khorne Civil Service really is a thing to behold!

Definitely! It wouldn’t take too much, and they already look pretty cool.

Yeah, it’s good to look back to see the progress. I think my biggest progress is picking colours that don’t look terrible together, that green with the blue. it’s interesting how FB might come back and whether they go back to square bases. I wonder if the AoS stuff will be part of the new old setting?

amazingturtles wrote:I'm surprised that they rank up so well! They looked pleased with it too, all shouting

It was surprisingly straightforward. I’ll probably screw it up when I base them! They do love a good line shout

Cheers, they’re pretty cool minis, I just need to figure out a colour scheme to work with my existing Chaos chaos.

Thanks CB, I’m pretty pleased with the stuff I’ve cobbled together.

Work and extension have been a bit full on of late. I did manage to build the final 2 Stormcasts for my daughter during a training seminar. They have lots of sharp bits so hopefully she doesn’t hurt herself whilst painting them. I finally got back to my Panthers tonight. Bringing the panels back to Retributor Gold and then adding some highlights with Liberator. They’re starting to shape up now I feel



Thanks for looking

So once these are done that's 2 tac squads and the bikes. Have you any planned force in mind? Like a playable list? Not that there's any chance of a proper game these days.

Yeah, that’s where I’ll be to once I’ve got these and the other combat squad finished. I don’t really have a playable list in mind as I don’t play, but I quite like the idea of a Demi-Company. I have quite a few more Marines in my possession already; the Terminator Captain (he’ll be their immaculate leader, cause of their fall) I built recently, I have most of Space Marine Heroes Series 2 (2 built recently), a Land Speeder, Venerable Dread and 7 tacticals new in box. I also have an attack bike a squad of tacticals and most of a command squad waiting to take a bath in dettol.

I made a decent bit of progress today, getting the Liberator Gold done on the Armour and started on the Leadbelcher for the mechanicals and embellishments whilst looking after my youngest (she wanted to hide in the loft from the scary Pixar movie that eldest said was boring). I then finished the Leadbelcher and did the Stormhost Silver on both the gold and Leadbelcher.



I must’ve used Mithril Silver on previous Panthers as I think these boys look a bit more shiny (cue huge crab singing his song in my head). Next up will be the Purples and Blacks before the greens and Parchments. Then it’ll just be the bases to finish them off. Maybe next weekend, but knowing my progress rate, maybe not!

Thanks for looking

Panthers are looking good (shiny), I like your idea of putting together a Demi Company just in case you get a chance to play.

These guys are looking great. Heavy bolter guy is my fave. Weird how we still think in terms of army organization even when there aren't plans for playing.

Ah another nicely done squad coming together.
I start to get envious of your painting skills

Nice progress on the squad mate. Really a lovely recipe for the gold and a great match with the purple.

Glad to hear you have plenty of marines in the chamber on this project, I've really enjoyed seeing the army grow.

The Khorne guys look like fantastic minis too, they are new to me, and they just seem to suit square bases! Look like some fearsome opposition for your daughter's Stormcast.

Look forward to more

Posting late, but great to see that the khorne Blood Warriors fit on 25mm squares, have been thinking about using them as a conversion for chosen for a possible Chaos Warriors army.

Tac squad looking great and bling too!

Crap, I had just gotten that out of my head as Ms. Captain Brown has moved on to Trolls World Tour...

Always a pleasure to see more Void Panthers, lovely concept, well-executed.

More Void Panthers is always good news!
And they just keep on getting better and better.

I'm not much of a Space Marine guy (do I even like 40k?!), but these guys just tickle from the right places.

Yorkright wrote: Panthers are looking good (shiny), I like your idea of putting together a Demi Company just in case you get a chance to play.

Hehe, yeah, I’m after the variety of minis but also a large mass of troops... though that will take some vast amount of time!

Cheers, the heavy bolted chap is cool. His armour has really grown on me as I’ve painted him up, though I’m not sure what Mark it is.

Cheers, I do enjoy painting them, which is good I suppose, especially as they take a while to do! The Khorne chaps do look good on their proper bases don’t they?

Thanks Ezki, though I think you may be right to question whether you like 40k or not

More progress has been made. I had a stressy day with work and builders today so needed to decompress and what better way than to paint some minis? I set off tidying up the black areas before returning the purple to it’s Liche Purple base but also edge highlighting the black on their weapons with it.

I’ll get to the purple highlights next, before the black the start blocking in the greens.

Thanks for looking

Excited to see the next squad finished and hope your house is builder-free in the not so distant future

Great to see your Void Panthers grow from just an idea to a fully formed army now, and good use of the SM Hero miniatures, they just offer so much more natural movement than the standard Tactical kit.

Hope the building work is a lot more stress free now.

Love the Gold. Void Pathers for the win!

Void Panthers are looking to be coming along nicely!

Hope the builders aren't too loud as well.

Looking good, gobert. Glad you got to zen up a little.

Viterbi wrote:Excited to see the next squad finished and hope your house is builder-free in the not so distant future

Cheers, these guys feel like they’re on the home stretch now. Sadly I think we have another month or 2 of builders, though this week felt like good progress was being made.

Yeah, it’s been fun growing them, and this place has helped them on their way. I agree on the SM heroes, they are really cool minis. I can’t wait to get stuck in to series 2, and hopefully series 3 if it becomes available again.

Thanks TH, I’m hoping the builders are done with most of their loud work for now, but I suspect there’ll be a few more noisy days to come!

youwashock wrote:Looking good, gobert. Glad you got to zen up a little.

Cheers, mini painting really does calm the tension. It’s probably one of the main reasons I keep going!

NSTR since the last update, once midi-gobert is asleep I’ll be getting the painting sticks out to make a push on this combat squad. I probably need to think up names and decide on squad markings. I’m think Roman for both, any ideas?

Tiberius
Felix
Valerius
Octavian
Cicero
Brutas
Cassius
Titas
Faustus
Gaius
Vespasian
Nero
Trajan

Lots of great Roman names out there.
