I decided to take a break from Nurgle and Ultramarines and paint up the new Valerian and Aleya miniatures. I really like the books, so was keen to pop a bit of paint on them. I’ve also never painted a Custodian or a Sister of Silence, so thought it was as good a time as any!
I decided to do a little bit of NMM on the eagle on Aleya’s cloak, but since these will be gaming pieces, I just stuck with normal metals for these two.
Recently finished Valerian as a nice quick break from painting Nurgley things! Probably going to do Aleya next! Love these models, and the characters are very cool in the novels!
Well, I dislike painting tanks, so this ended up being a little sloppy. But if I want to get my Ultramarines finished this year I had to buckle down and get it done. I have two more Repulsor tanks to paint, a regular and the Executioner variant. I also have the Impulsor. My idea is to try and spread out painting them, so I don’t get too disheartened.
In the spare time I have had recently I have been working on test paint schemes for my #Newyearnewarmy Sisters of Battle. The scheme has to be fairly straight forward in order to replicate it a lot. Pretty happy with how this one has turned out.
Back when I was a kid, my first ever army was Blood Angels. I had a very weird army, made up of the models from Space Crusade, and the odd metal miniature I managed to get my hands on.
Back then, 2nd Edition 40k saw the Blood Angels be the “poster boys” of the game, and everyone ran them. So I decided to go as the slightly under used chapter called Ultramarines….
Now as we all know, the Ultramarines have very much taken centre stage, but when Mephiston was released in full Primaris glory, the kid in me really wanted to paint it. So I did!
This was a really great model to paint, and whilst some of the details on him could do with a little extra work, I am happy with the result.
