I don’t play Age of Sigmar, but I do love GW models enough to paint their fantasy range still.
I’ve realised I have taken pictures of this assuming it was finished when I haven’t completed the sword. When I eventually add the snow effects I will take another pic.
I love undead, I was planning an elite force with Nagash at the centre but I am not so sure anymore. The truth is I just like painting the models, so I decided to give myself a break from 40k (specifically my Word Bearers) and crack on with this!
So, having had my Word Bearers published in Warhammer Visions this month (my copy has still to turn up in the post 🙁 ) you may expect me to be on a Word Bearers high!
Well, surprisingly the first thing I have painted is some Ultramarines!
I had done a small squad of five some time ago, and to me it felt like an unfinished squad. So I decided to add the final five with sergeant and the special weapons. Now, I know they don’t look particularly great, but I converted the normal chain swords to be larger ones to represent both of them having eviscerators. I do actually have a box or two of the new assault marines, but I didn’t want the old ones to go to waste, and yeah, thought I would quickly give it a go. They look too big for just one hand, in hindsight I should have gone a step further and converted them to be holding them two handed.
I haven’t put as much time into this guy as I did the floating variant. Out of the two, this is my least favourite and I really just bought the blister for his airborne brother. However I did enjoy painting this chap much more than I thought I would, and I have been sufficiently enthused enough to want to start a renegade force in the future. Albeit just a small one to go along side my Chaos Marines.
Quick WIP shot of the second of the renegade psykers!
I really like this colour. I think it looks dark enough to say “bad guy” but still a legitimate enough of a shade to be used by a normal guardsmen. Maybe they were from a very dark planet!?
There’s been a few learning curves on this guy, but over all I am happy with him. Truth is I love the model so much it has been a joy to paint. I get the feeling the second one may not turn out as well due to it not being this guy!
Sometimes I buy a miniature simply to paint. I imagine many of you lot are the same. However I have to admit, right now the model on the left of this picture is probably my favourite miniature.
I can’t tell you why, I just knew the minute I saw it many years ago that I had to own and paint it. Well recently a trip to Warhammer World finally allowed me to purchase it!
There are loads of models I have bought purely because I thought they looked rad as hell, but I honestly think the floating Chaos Psyker has to be the top. There’s a few out there that compete with it, but if I had to sit and choose one, this would be it.
Anyone else have a model they bought purely to own it!?
