"Tainted" World Eaters squad three

Here's one more example of the World Eaters... including a color test banner bearer.

Reflective armor surfaces

This was my very first squad of Grey Knights that I ever made for the Brotherhood of the Sacred Chalice.

I thought I would have some fun with the tile floor, and attempt to reflect those colors on the grieves.  When reflecting colors, it is important to make them a bit darker than the actual surface that is being mirrored, as well as greyed down and  a little distorted.

Patterns such as the square tiles were ideal on sich a straight surface as the lower leg armor!









This was the first ever space marine conversion for me, circa 2007.  I think it was originally a Nurgle marine, with a CSM head.  I sculpted the chalice.

Thousand Sons Chaos Lord

I had loads of fun with this guy, just like anything that is Tzeentch!!

I probably had the most fun with the base, as usual :-)

Lord of the Rings Warg rider

Hmm... I wonder if I should add some of these to the "speed and violence" Easterling/Khand legions... some extra cheap cavalry perhaps?

Cathy has been having some success with her Warg marauders., which keeps me thinking about basic wargs.  It's all about the numbers in LOTR, while also making things as fast as possible.

My first diorama...

Long ago in a painting studio far far away (ok, it's actually the exact same spot), I set out to make my first diorama.  I had this female archer figure (from Spyglass at the time), and I wanted to do something more that just put it on a regular base with com branches or rocks.

I got some sculpey, and created the tree.  It seemed to need something else, so I also sculpted the little bird :-)  This piece was probably done in 2003.

Glory Shots! A sneak preview of what is to come for theAngels Solarus

Since most of the infantry units for the Angels Solarus have been posted already, I thought it was time to use a few "Glory Shots" to give you a taste of future posts. 

These were taken at the Chicago Battle Bunker a few months ago.  I don't get a chance to shoot pictures of my painted stuff on tables very often, but when I get the chance, it is always great to have them!  I love setting up little scenes, trying to get interesting angles and such.  My only wish is that I still have all the vehicles when I took these.  That would be the stormraven, a few Baal Predators, and the Forgeworld speeders.  I didn;t have the dreadnoughts with me either when I took these images...

If you like dreadnoughts, and dreadnought drop pods, you will be delirious with some of these future posts. :-)



Here is a shot of one of the basic infantry units:


















Here is an extra sneak preview of the converted Death Company unit!
