I decided to work on the Possessed one at a time after putting the base colours on them.

So far so good. This guy should be completed by tonight. Slowly but surely getting these chaps done!

Work continues on the final Possessed!

Slow stuff really, trying to paint them all at the same time, but I’ve never been great at painting more than one mini at a time! I may eventually focus on one at a time once I’ve completed a few more of the basics.

With the Gal Vorbak completed I have returned to the last four Possessed Chaos Space Marines in order to finish the squad.

After that, it may be time to paint a vehicle!

Well, I had the chance to break out the old light box and camera this afternoon and did my best to take some decent photographs of the Gal Vorbak!

I now have four more Possessed Chaos Space Marines to complete then I have a few options open to me. I have the majority of the Dark Vengeance Chaos models to paint. But I also have Space Hulk, chaos lord and sorcerer to convert and loads of other stuff…

… You never really finish painting your army do you!

I really need more daylight lamps to make the light box work for me as well as it could. But for now these will have to do!

Well, the final Gal Vorbak has been completed!

I have to be honest, this is the worst of the bunch. The details on the face (the other side of the one in the picture) was pretty bad. It really brought my enthusiasm down for what was my favourite miniature out of the five.

Still, they are done! I just have three more possessed models to finish, then I have a clean slate, will need to pick a new project!

Little more work has been done on the final Gal Vorbak, all of the bone areas are still to be completed, the face continues to annoy me a lot.

Hoping to get him done by tomorrow, then I think I have a few more possessed marines to finish off!

Wooo!

This is a picture of my Word Bearers Terminators published in this week’s White Dwarf!

Here is a clearer picture of the minis in question!

I am pretty damn happy about this, and pretty shocked too! 😀

Little more work has been done on the final Gal Vorbak.

I have to admit the face on this guy is really annoying. I am not sure if the detail around his mouth is so fine that I have cack-handedly ruined it, or if it is slightly miscast. Rest of the model is really nice, just the face.

Anyway, nearly done, no idea what comes next after this guy!

Hot on the heels of my previous Gal Vorbak, work has already begun on the final member of the squad, the champion.

I actually use these guys as Chaos Spawn for my Word Bearers in 40k. I’ve never played 30k, but I really hope the rules in that system do the models justice.
