Nearly at the undercoating stage with this guy. Have some areas to tidy up, but he is coming along nicely!
Daemon Prince conversion part 2

Thousand Sons Daemon Prince Conversion
I have recently been working on my Daemon Prince conversion.
Given how few new miniatures Thousand Sons got (compared to Death Guard), I have been using it as an excuse to explore some more ideas for them. I knew I wanted to use the Psychic Contemptor Dreadnoughts in my army, and I use them as Daemon Princes (the size of the minis, and the in game rules don’t very massively!). I also wanted to show the sliding scale of corruption. So the Osiron dread has been left as is, just a few little bits added, and a nice blue paint job.
I also have a plan to make a middle ground Contemptor Dreadnought, in which some mutation is showing through, but not quite as much as the one I am working on now.
It’s early days yet for it, and I have only done tiny bits of green stuff work and converting, but I am really enjoying it!
Tzaangor Shaman
Another Tzaangor completed. That’s now 6/80 gors done! Slowly adding to the pile!
As an aside I tried to take a little more time on this chap. Not a crazy amount of time, but I paid some attention to his gems and the potion on his belt. It’s still a gaming piece so nothing mental.
Magnus the Red – White Dwarf’s model of the month!
Whenever I get any of my miniatures in White Dwarf it’s always awesome, but this month my Magnus the Red has not only been featured but is also the Model of the month!
Here is some higher quality pictures for better scrutiny!
It honestly never gets old seeing my stuff in the Dwarf, 15 year old me wouldn’t believe it if I could go back in time and let him know! 😀
5 of 80 Tzaangors Complete!
So, this is the first of the 80 Tzaangors I need to get painted for my Thousand Sons army.
The plan is to paint five of these guys up “Quickly” and then treat myself to something else. This could be something else to do with my Thousand Sons, or something totally different. Just trying to make sure I don’t suffer from Tzaangor-fatigue!
Tzaangor Test Mini
So, I am determined this year to “finish” my Thousand Sons army. They are my favourite flavour of Space Marine, but I don’t have a fully painted force of them.
With this in mind I have recently finished a test model for Tzaangors. I have approximately 80 or so Tzaangors to paint, and I needed a scheme that wouldn’t take forever, but wouldn’t look too shabby up close. Pretty happy with the results. The highlights aren’t as crisp as they could be, but I have two Shamans in my force, so I can spend some quality time on those!
Harlequin Solitaire
Some time ago I was asked for some help coming up with a paint scheme for Harlequins which didn’t use the diamonds or crazy patterns. I half painted this chap, and just left him alone.
I decided to return to him today and just tidied him up for a bit. I added a small pattern to his hood, and touched up some highlights, but I really just wanted to get him done!
Marneus Calgar and Victrix Guard
I have finished Marneus Calgar and his Victrix Guard. I love all these models, but especially the Victrix Guard. I am really hoping they make a box set with more of these in them. They are fantastic to paint!
Victrix Guard
This is the first of Marenus Calgar’s Victrix guard.
I love these models, whilst Marneus is also cool, I just really like the Victrix Guard!
Marneus Calgar. Chapter Master of the Ultramarines
I recently painted up Marneus Calgar. I spent about twelve hours on the whole thing. And whilst it may be a little rough around the edges, I am pretty happy with how he turned out.
