I Can't Find the - archive record -


EEEE!



I imagine these pictures are gracing blogs all over the place. I can't overstate how excited I have been since GW annouced they were re-releasing Space Hulk. So the "limeted" status of the release might be a little controversial, and the GW hating nerds out there seem to have latched on to this as another reason to disect their multinational business plans from thier bedroom computers instead of getting some sunlight.

Anyway. The quality is amazing. The weight of the box alone made me excited, this thing weighs a ton. I've spent the best part of 5 hours clipping and cleaning components from the sprue, and I still have roughly 15 genestealers still on the frames.

I can't wait to start painting these guys, especially the termies. These are the nicest space marine models I've seen in ages, and its about time they did some up to date blood angels.

More as I paint it!

Warhounds - seeing the light at the end of the tunnell. (Its a train)

Some more little updates, well actually a pretty big one! Legs section - done! Finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnell on this one. Lots of grease, muck and oil on there, when everythings done I'll give it a light dusting of graveyard earth too for a finish of dust. Also worked on the right hand "shoulder" The soot needs thinning onto the yellow yet. Note the reconstructed plastic whittled spikes to replace the original resin ones which snapped off almost immediatley. I've got a small list of to do now, thank god - the sides of the body, with some hefty detail, fans, grills, pipes, icons etc, but its all hidden - done one side but the other still to do. The gun servitors inside the weapon shoulders, the carapace metalwork and spikes, rear of the engines and the underside of the weapon mounts. Lots of little bits, considering how much I've already done! (and have still to do, with its sister warhound...)

Fire Masters

  Four years between posts isnt a terrible average is it? In that time we've had a world wide pandemic, 2 presidents, 4 prime ministers, a new government, ok its been a while.  SO - recently I've been finishing off a Titan Legion, and returned to our gaming club - seem to have gotten some other people interested in the game, which is excellent. I chose the Legio Sutorvora, or Legio Infernus / Firemasters, a traitor legion known for their use of prometueum based weaponry. The Eternal Flame. No Bangles involved So my first titans...had no flame weapons. I built the Warlord, reaver and two warhounds with no flamers at all - but did paint alot of flames.  Reaver "Aeternum" Warhounds "Emberatum" and "Canis Destructor" and with paired gatling blasters (forge world upgrade) Warlord " Immolatum Rex " with Apocalypse Launchers Alot of people have complained about the time it takes to paint all the trim and it is fiddley. I built the whole model a...

Paint together!

Image
Last night the small group of friends I've been playing games with got together for the second time to practice some painting techniques. I get a real kick out of helping people learn - I don't, by any measure, think I'm anywhere near s good as some painters out there (the likes of platoon are stocked full of amazing painters) but I acknowledge I have skills to pass on. Last time we focused on my favourite, weathering and vehicles, and this time more of a free for all that included flesh tones, armour chipping, plasma and heat effects and finishing. Some people might think I'm stoking my ego by getting people together to blow sunshine up my arse - couldn't be further from the truth. I do bring along a selection of models which includes my golden demon finalists, but like it was for me I hope people find them inspiring. I still remember meeting mike McVey at the platoon get together and picking up the green knight - THE green knight, that I had gazed at in w...
