40k Leman Russ Wreck

I've been wanting to do something like this for a long, long time. So one day randomly, I decided to do it.

I had an old Russ around that I'd gotten assembled and primed. So I chopped it in half and stuck it on piece of masonite.

Some Citadel crackle paint, some drybrushing and some rust effects later and we have this gem. Super happy with how it came out.

Colony 87 non-coms

This is a great range of minis created by Jon Boyce in the UK. Here's the variety that I have painted to date.

They're a joy to paint, and I love the faces the sculptor did.

New Assassins

I painted these up near the middle of last year. Quick, functional paintwork, to go with my Imperial Fists.

2nd Edition Cadians

MORE MEAT FOR THE MEAT GRINDER! I've had these troopers sitting around started for something like 4-5 years, so I finally sat down and painted them up. It was interesting to see how my painting has improved since I painted the last squad, but these guys blend in well enough. I still need to dig up a couple comms troopers, another sergeant, and a lieutenant to make a platoon, but they're getting there.

Imperial Guard Priest

INSPIRATIONAL POST!!!! I pulled this guy out of a case and painted him up over the weekend. Fun sculpt to paint and it came together quickly.

Inquisitor and his Guncutter

When GW dropped the Deathwatch I was mega-impressed with the new marines, and especially the Watch Captain. Not intending to start a Deathwatch army, but wanting to paint that fig, I decided to make him an Inquisitor. A shoulderpad and head swap and a fancy new paint scheme and away we went. I went with something flamboyant, befitting an agent of the Emperor. All the better for the heretics to see their doom... Fiery Orange blended to Blood Red over a white basecoat. Ice blue blended to Regal Blue and loads of other details. I tried to avoid washes with him, and the only place I used them was on his face, to get a nice scruffy appearance. And... to go with him? A modified Valkyrie. Think of the guncutter from the Eisenhorn trilogy, that's where I was going with it. I added some extra sensors from and Ad Mech kit and a Landspeeder, extra searchlights, and swapped the lascannon int he hull from a heavy stubber in the nose.

30th Anniversary Space Marine Celebration

With this milestone upon us, I offered to display some of my RT marines at my local GW store. With enthusiasm, the manager accepted. It was fun to show him the classic minis and some other rarities that were in the cases I brought.

Here's what in the case.

Sentinel Powerlifter

I started this in March... Pilot is the servitor from the Stormraven, wired in to the cockpit with Dragonforge cables. Base is a cast from the Zone Mortalis tiles grafted onto a 60mm. Yellow has no washes, shaded and highlighted by hand.

Imperial Knight Titan

Assembled and painted in 2 weeks. I used most of the FW upgrade kit. Painted as a vassal of the Warp Runner Legio. Fun kit to put together, definitely have to follow the instruction to the letter. Flames are fun to paint.

Adeptus Arbites, Astropath and a Punk

Finally finished this squad of 5 Arbites. And did up the old Rogue Trader Astropath and a Space Punk.

Rogue Trader Commissar

Painted up this guy today. Simple job, the highlights on the blacks look better in person, a bit harsh here, but good enough for me.

Gangers, Adventurers and stuff

Unreleased Hive Helmawr Gangers.

Rogue Trader adventurers, and a random guardsman

Squat miner, tarantula with crew, Slaanesh champion

Necromunda Stuff, and a Servitor

Got some work today done on my Van Saars, and also a very old Rogue Trader era Servitor.

Epic 40K // Warlord Titan and more Orks

Threw some paint at this stuff, it's a little crude, but dang, these things are tiny.

Rogue Trader stuff // re-shoot

I got around to take new pictures of some old stuff, white background looks so much better.

Rogue Trader Ogryn #2

Got this guy finished up last night.

Nork Deddog Conversion

A second edition based Nork Deddog conversion.

I built off a very old Fantasy Ogre, with an armoured coat of Hellhound armor plates and and ogryn's ripper gun arm. Then I added a 2nd edition commissar's hat and scuulpted epaulets on top of his shoulders. I also sculpted boots over his bare feet.

Camo pants are painted up to match the camo pattern I'm using on my Cadians.

RT Assassin and Mega Armour

Rogue Trader assassin.

I've loved this model since my first look through the 2nd edition rule book.



And my second suit of mega armor painted up.
