Rok Da Vote: Painting Poll Closed
Last month I tossed up a poll asking how often you paint and the results are in.
Citadel Paints: Derek the Dark Angel, Birth of a Splodgy Legend…
Ok, Derek lives, in total he has lived for 16 days now, but in a massive fit of warp shenanigans my camera died at the very first picture of the poor hero, so I resorted to the phone camera, you should be able to see what’s what though. What I did was paint one of the Dark Angels as if I had never painted before, and I was 12 and not 30+…

Thor’s Workbench: Daemon Prince WIP #3
A quick update on my Daemon Prince. At this stage I’m working on the skin and I have most of the skin close to completion. I haven’t touched the white/blue skin yet for the wings, that’s next, but I’ve hit the rest of the skin. The final touch on the skin will be some extreme highlights where appropriate.

Thor’s Workbench: Daemon Prince WIP #2
I’ve made a lot of progress since the very early shot last week. At this stage most everything is base coated, still a few details to pick out. I’ve shaded the blue parts of the armor and the metallics. The wings are mostly complete, the webbing part anyway. There’s a few small things to wrap up and then it’s on to the skin, which will take the longest amount of time but subsequently show the greatest results once done.

Kamui’s Workbench: Raemos’ (Bjorn’s) new gun and Wolf Guard
Hello all,
I realized that in my rush to get my army ready for the April Assault last month I hadn’t captured many pictures as I finished things up. As I had previously posted many WIP shots of Raemos, my counts-as Bjorn Fellhanded, I thought I should start with him. I also have some pics of my Wolf Guard unit.

Thor’s Workbench: Chaos Rhino WIP #3
I’m still plugging away on the Chaos Rhino. I have the free hand done, unless I decide to add more, and everything is base coated and shaded now. I’ve begun some of the highlights, which you’ll see, but I’ll need to go back in and clean some of those up later.

April Assault 40K Tournament – Kamui’s Review
Hello all,
I attended the April Assault at Crossroad Games in Standish, Maine on Saturday. It was a hobby focused event with heavy emphasis on soft scores. I figured I’d post my impressions of the day as a review for those of you who are interested and feedback for those who hosted the event. For those of you who would like to see the details of the event you can download the event packet here.

Thor’s Workbench: Chaos Rhino WIP (Update)
I was hoping to get more accomplished on the Rhino yesterday but progress was slower than expected. I’ve only painted three Rhinos before this and they were far easier being that they were all black as a base color, so base coat and highlight. The extra work in doing a half scheme on this one and the added time for shading was pretty significant.

Thor’s Workbench: Chaos Rhino WIP
I have the day to paint so I’m getting started on a Chaos Rhino after finishing up a Plague Champion earlier (shots in a few days). I’m aiming to get this Rhino mostly complete today since it’s not often I have an entire day for painting.

Rok Da Vote: Painting
I’ve done a fair amount of painting lately, for me at least, and I got curious how often everyone else paints. So, that’s the big topic for the poll, how often do you paint?
Kamui’s Workbench: A Tale of Two Speeders continued
We can buff that out...
Hello all,
A few weeks back I picked up a couple of land speeders to add some mobility to my Reavers (Space Wolves.) I got them cheap on eBay but they were in need of some repairs. For those of you who haven’t seen them (and those of you who have a memory like mine and have forgotten,) you can see how they started here and how the repairs went here.
I’ve since finished the builds and have begun painting them. I want to field them as Typhoons for the April Assault this weekend so I built some Typhoon Missile Launchers for them using styrene sheet. While I’m posting WIP shots I thought I’d include a mini-tutorial for them.
Obliterators Complete
I began working on these Obliterators last month. In no time I had 90% of it complete but that last 10% would be 90% of the work. I had put up WIP shots of them where I was working, for the first time really, with OSL (object source lighting). Ron over at From the Warp, gave me a lot of great feedback. The problem was it meant I had to redo some things, and I agreed, yet I had to set them aside for another project, one that was time sensitive. When that was completed, the time sensitive project, I came back to these Obliterators renewed and completed them.

Tankbustas with Tankhammers Complete
In preparing for the April Assault this month at my FLGS I had to get two Tankbustas with tankhammers built and painted. Doubly so because last week this unit of Tankbustas, in no small part due to these tankhammers, took down a Baneblade in one assault phase. If nothing else they earned the right to be painted, as they were built at that point.
Thor’s Workbench: Obliterators on Hold, Enter Orks
One thing I’ve learned with painting is when the going gets rough take a break. I’ve been busting my butt trying to get my Obliterators done the last few weeks and they’d be done except for something that’s been nagging me. I put up some shots of me attempting OSL (object source lighting), the other day. Well, I’m happy with how the radiant light element has come along since that post, the reflections on the armor, but not so much with the power fists, the source.

Hobby: Object Source Lighting Attempt & Advice
I decided to finally give object source lighting (OSL for short), an attempt. It’s one of those techniques that I really haven’t tried, at least seriously. However, with my Chaos Marines I’m taking my time getting them painted and want to use them as a way to work on techniques like this, ones I’ve shied away from in the past because of the time required to do it right.
