Since I wasn’t able to participate in ‘Ard Boyz today, and those who did are probably not going to post anything tonight, I thought I’d toss up a few close-ups of the Grey Hunters:
Seems like I was working on this model forever. Once I had decided my paint scheme I wanted to see it on a model and began painting this Terminator. Once I had things base coated I knew I liked the scheme and left him that way for a while as I worked on models that ‘needed’ to get done. I finally got back around to him and I’m glad he’s finally done.
I put up some shots of this model a while ago. I honestly haven’t accomplished a ton with him since but have made progress. I also wanted to try out the small light box I made the other day so here’s a quick shot of how he’s coming along.
Since my last workbench post I haven’t managed to get a lot accomplished. The holidays impacted my free time to paint and get things assembled. I have managed to mostly get my 2nd Chaos Rhino put together though and my Beastmen (counts-as Lesser Daemons), are all together barring one arm that I need to magnetize.
Finally got this guy wrapped up and I’m pretty pleased with how he came out. I’m one of those people who paints based on value and position. Meaning my HQs and elites see more love than troop choices. However, with my Plague Marines in general I’ve spent more time on them then I would a normal Chaos Marine. My Sarges/Nobs/Champions always get more time then the rest of the unit but still not as substantial as other models I’ll paint for the army.
This is the final model in this particular unit and he’s close to completion. Though further from completion are shots of his arms which are magnetized. I took the shots not so much to show the arms as the simple setup I have for the magnetized arms. The ‘arm holder’ is just some scrap stuff glued together with magnets on the end of the T. It’s great for holding the arms to prime, seal, let dry when using washes and to ensure my magnet polarity is always correct.
The other day to motivate myself I started a workbench article and surprisingly it worked. Last night I wrapped up 5 Plague Marines. I really should have taken some WIPs while doing the sculpting but unfortunately I did not. These guys are converted from standard Chaos Marines and some old school Possessed heads. I put the Champion in the shots just to show the full squad even if he’s not painted yet. The empty-handed guys are my specialists and I just haven’t painted their weapons yet.
Well, as I mentioned in my last post I’ve not managed to paint 2000 points of Reavers by the end of summer. I did manage to get 1850 by the Standish Standoff, and I’ve been happy with the performance of what I’ve got. I did struggle in the last game against Stealthy Stealth’s orks, but my shooting rolls were horrendous so I can’t really blame the list. I also made a couple of mistakes throughout the day but I came in 11th for battle points with two wins and a loss. Here’s a few pictures of what I’ve finished, as well as the Thunderwolf Cavalry I’m working on:
In a earlier post I mentioned I had finally come up with a paint scheme I was happy with. Here’s the concept:
To break up the fun of cleaning off mold lines on countless models I painted up a Berzerker. You’ll have to pardon the lack of lighting. It’s an overcast day and I didn’t feel much like setting up something to get better lighting, I’m lazy :)

Here’s some stuff you should read. Also, if anyone has any suggestions for articles worth pimp’n then fire away. I surely don’t read all the great blogs out there, just not enough time in the day.
A while ago I posted the WIP of Monthu after I finished converting him. I finished painting him a bit ago and am finally getting around to putting up some shots of him. Some of the shots are a bit blurry but I don’t feel like setting it up again so they’ll do for now.
