I have recently (foolishly) agreed to take part in the Tale of Warlords event that is occurring in White Dwarf. I chose to restart my Ultramarines! This was for two reasons. One – Guilleman. Enough said. Two – They are pretty easy to paint. This means I can churn them out at a reasonable speed and the new models can replace my very very old ones! 😀
This is the first of them, the squad sergeant.
I have finished Grand Master Voldus of the Grey Knights.
There is a video painting guide for the marble base coming very soon!
Probably the worst paint job I’ve done for a number of years.
My heart hasn’t been in this. There is nothing wrong with the model, it’s great. I just have millions of other projects to do, and this guy was started purely to finish the box set off. Last time I make that mistake.
I will be giving him a scenic base in order to do a tutorial on painting marble.
Been working on Voldus. This is a quick run through, so sadly I am not doing the miniature justice. But I wanted to complete the Triumvirate box set before starting something else.
Still, not looking too bad.
Cypher is finished!
Not only did I paint this guy up, I also did a video of how I painted the black armour.
He is nearly complete. I need to paint his second pistol, and finish off the cloak and sword, but I am hoping that wont take me all day!
His base may have to be a standard boring base. Time is not on my side.
Given the association (or not?) of Clint Eastwood and Cypher, I had to try and give him some stubble, and a faint look of the man.
So far I am pretty happy with how this chap is coming along. I do plan on dirtying the robes up, but I will do them all at the same time.
Love me some of them puns.
Started Cypher last night.
I don’t normally paint black in the way I am doing right now, but I am trying to follow the look of the model a little. So yeah, hopefully iy wont all end in tears!
He’s done!
I am happy with this chap. He only took a little over three days from building to completion and I think he turned out okay. I phoned the base in a little. The marble head looks cool, but the rest was a rush job. It was 11:30pm, and I just wanted him done.
I may return to the sword and the flames in the future, just to sort them out, but now, it’s time for Cypher!
I still need to clean up the sword and that whole arm completely but I am dying a little bit!
I have moaned a bit about this chap, but considering he’s taken me just over two days so far he’s turned out okay.
I need to finish his base and then take a proper picture. Hopefully tomorrow!
