Some times, a model gets released and I buy it just to paint it. I don’t know if it’s because my first Warhammer Fantasy Army was Dwarves, or because a huge beard and axe are just cool, but I knew I wanted Ungrim when I first saw him.
I love that they have made these younger versions of the special characters for the Old World. I had the original Ungrim back when I was a wee stippling of a lad. It is very cool to see him reimagined.
I have a bit of a thing for Dreadnoughts, of any flavour, but when it comes to my Thousand Sons, I find it a little baffling that they don’t have the Heresy Era dreads as Rubric Dreadnoughts.
So as with my earlier ones, I tend to just paint them up and use them as Helbrutes. I really like the Helbrute idea in the codex, but I think there is room for both concepts in the army. Either way, I think the Contemptors make great proxy’s. And look the part too!
When the Exalted Sorcerer kit was first released, I bought it straight away. And I instantly painted one, then, Just ten years later, I have finally got round to painting another!
This time, the chap on the disc. This is a great little kit, would be great to see them, and the entire Thousand Sons range, get the update treatment most marines have had in scale. Still a cracking kit though.
I decided to have a little pallet cleanser, and paint something out of left field. I wanted to try a different approach to stippling on the cloak. It went okay, but I think I should have done more glazing to help pull it all together.
My take on Haarken Worldclaimer, Herald of the Apocalypse. I wasn’t that keen on this mini at first, but decided I needed to paint him up (cos you know… chaos!). But now I have him built and painted, I actually think it is really great!
