Getting ready to start work on my Ducklings of Doom.

Fair warning to others:
the antenna like to be broken during transit. I'm, personally, not bothered by it as I have equivalently-sized brass rod sitting around and the temerity to make a fix. Not everyone has that though.

Some DA decals? The big vehicle icons from the OOP Deathwing sprue would also look great.

Decals are pending for the entire force.

If I have to, I’ll resort to the official GW ones. But not only are they expensive per sheet? But I’ll need multiple, because they’re so crammed with possible squad markings, there’s relatively few of each squad.

Just to do my foot sloggers, I’m gonna need three sheets. Which is £66. Now my pocket can handle that, sure. But it seems excessive and is a big chunk of my monthly hobby budget.


What I continue to look for, but have so far failed to find, are custom jobs. Like, one sheet for vehicles, one for Dreads, one for infantry. Nothing especially fancy on each, just suited to the models.

Laid out a test print of Mk5 marines, if it goes well I'm making a max size Recon squad with shotguns, and then probably Despoilers.

Been ages since ive put in any work on Farith Redloss as I lost sight of my original vision for him. But he's almost done now. Only need to get my hands on one of those big hour glasses the Judicier totes around.

He has a lot of character - I hope you finish him.

I took a break from Space Wolves to go back and finish the first HH conversion I started - an Ultramarines Cataphractii Librarian. Rebuilding the left arm was the most difficult part. The head is a placeholder until I find a better one.

Oh that's a good call. I'll definitely investigate that as an option. If nothing else it'll definitely be easier/cheaper then acquiring the part of the Judicier.

Thank you! I think I might have went overboard with the grenades, which you can't really see in that shot. But It'll probably be fine when painted.

He looks good! Having converted one of those models myself and having rebuilt the same arm, I can sympathize. I also found that finding a head that fits nicely was more tricky then it should have been.

The photo wasn't loading, so I couldn't work out what you were talking about. Now I see. I'm not very keen on this design, but the model does look interesting.

Not even a winged helmet for either of your Dark Angels leaders? The dude with the sword would not take much work to turn into a pretty nice DA model.

Didn’t have the bits when I assembled them. I do intend to add further, ideally more interesting and flavoured characters down the line.

And given I’m now Bloody Close to having all my Heresy stuff painted, that should be soon.

Definitely want a Legion Praevin 🤣

Strange had that same issue with a blog...

Honestly all of the solar aux tanks are amazing and i get where you are coming at with these, but this one, easy to do and looks especially amazing irl. To me it's like the aethon which i initially aswell wasn't a fan of but they grew on me massivly.... to the point i want more of them despit their abismal rules, basilisks that is

I can't decide how to paint the exterior casing of my Dark Angels guns. Any color but red really.

On my previous projects I just did black, but I feel like it'll just end up too monotonous that way. I tried a dark silver metallic on one of my Interemeptors but it's really not doing it for me.

I might just stick with black but highlighted differently from the rest of the armor.

Also just trying to paint the plasma coils in a way that isn't just slapping a glaze over white is annoying, though what I have so far looks decent enough.

Could go for a dark grey? Something just enough to contrast with the overall dark theme, whilst also complimenting it?

Then give it a thinnish wash of Agrax or similar for a bit of toning?

I use red on most of my 30K Dark Angel weapon housings, but I have also used Warplock Bronze for plasma/Volkite. I like the effect, but I am easy to please!

All you have to do is fire three rounds a minute, and stand

IMO adding dark grey to the red and black tends to dull the overall effect. I was going to do the weapon casing on my DA models in a fairly bright metal (highlighted with silver), to match the trim on their armour. Another option would be bone.

I ended up going with a blue black with cool grey highlights, to at least somewhat contrast with the warmer tones I use for most of the armor. I'll probably put a wash over it still and maybe redo the highlights over that.

I'm pretty satisfied with it, at least for the Interemptors. Not 100% sure I'll do the same for regular troops.

Finally picked up my Solar Aux wave 2 preorder at the LGS, it's a slog with the new part timer who's been there for 6+ months and she still can't tell Age of Sigmar apart from Star Wars Legion. But the owner does pay peanuts...

So that's 2 Veletaris Storm Sections, a Malcador and a third Heavy Sentinel.

Need to do the basecoat on my remaining Jetbikes, and do the Texture Goo on their bases. Whilst also doing the Grim Black on my unit of epic Sicarans.

Just about done with the Interemptors.
Remaining steps are initial varnish, decals (not many since they have sculpted shoulders), base vegetation, and final varnish.

People’s progress puts me to shame, I’ve managed a whole 15 marines in the last two months!

Second five mkiv’s were just more of the same, but the Valhallan snow seems to have gone weird on their bases so may have to re-apply it.

The second squad is using the new mkvi’s. I went for a crimson fist inspired scheme with red hands and strip down the helmet. Some of the strips are definitely straighter than others, bless weathering effects to hide the worst offenders

I have the next two days off. No work, no child care, so I’m trying to challenge myself to get a Kratos built and painted. Will be the quickest I’ve ever painted anything if I manage it.

I agree with the point about other people's progress. I always manage to find more assembly to do, and don't get around to painting. Your guys look good - I have never had any success painting yellow, but yellow Marines are cool.

I got sidetracked (again) after finishing the Ultramarines Librarian (see the photo above), and built an Ultramarines Tac squad using the bits I'd accumulated when I thought Ultras would be my main Heresy army. It has a mixture of Mk III and Mk VI armour types, reflecting replacements with new equipment joining the squad. Then I did an Apothecary to join them (for some reason I like modelling Apothecaries). Then I dug out the first Praetor I started, and gave him a thunder hammer and a blinged-out Command Squad. Now I'm doing a squad of Cataphractii, and I might dig out my unbuilt Sicarans and give them the Ultramarines treatment as well. All I'd need then is another Tac squad and it'd be a legal army. Must...resist...

Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

You know that you can get a similar effect using gauze cut to shape as a stencil, right?

Trying to save you from having to freehand it all yourself! I did that style of design for someone ages ago, the gauze ended up being a much better way to do it than trying to replicate it each time.
