Another Wight done!

wight3 wight3.1 wight3.2

I wouldn’t say I am rushing these (they don’t take that long to paint) but the metal work on them isn’t amazing. I just don’t have the urge to fix it because I eventually want to add snow to the base and to the top layers of the model to show they are marching through a blizzard.

I have no idea how I am going to do this, but that’s kinda the point. All one big experiment! 😀

I don’t play Age of Sigmar, but I do love GW models enough to paint their fantasy range still.

I’ve realised I have taken pictures of this assuming it was finished when I haven’t completed the sword. When I eventually add the snow effects I will take another pic.

I love undead, I was planning an elite force with Nagash at the centre but I am not so sure anymore. The truth is I just like painting the models, so I decided to give myself a break from 40k (specifically my Word Bearers) and crack on with this!

Well, these are a little rushed, the edge highlights aren’t very neat, but they are done. So that’s a 10 man Assault squad done!

My Ultramarines are slowly becoming a pretty sizeable force!

Another Assault Marine completed!

Again, not the greatest thing I have ever painted, but happy enough with the result!

So, having had my Word Bearers published in Warhammer Visions this month (my copy has still to turn up in the post 🙁 ) you may expect me to be on a Word Bearers high!

Well, surprisingly the first thing I have painted is some Ultramarines!

I had done a small squad of five some time ago, and to me it felt like an unfinished squad. So I decided to add the final five with sergeant and the special weapons. Now, I know they don’t look particularly great, but I converted the normal chain swords to be larger ones to represent both of them having eviscerators. I do actually have a box or two of the new assault marines, but I didn’t want the old ones to go to waste, and yeah, thought I would quickly give it a go. They look too big for just one hand, in hindsight I should have gone a step further and converted them to be holding them two handed.

Oh well!

The second renegade psyker is finished!

psy2.2 psy2.3 psy2.1

I haven’t put as much time into this guy as I did the floating variant. Out of the two, this is my least favourite and I really just bought the blister for his airborne brother. However I did enjoy painting this chap much more than I thought I would, and I have been sufficiently enthused enough to want to start a renegade force in the future. Albeit just a small one to go along side my Chaos Marines.

Quick WIP shot of the second of the renegade psykers!

I really like this colour. I think it looks dark enough to say “bad guy” but still a legitimate  enough of a shade to be used by a normal guardsmen. Maybe they were from a very dark planet!?

Sorry the pics is a little blurred.

First of the rogue psykers done!

There’s been a few learning curves on this guy, but over all I am happy with him. Truth is I love the model so much it has been a joy to paint. I get the feeling the second one may not turn out as well due to it not being this guy!

Still a WIP obviously, but thought I would share it none the less!
