My Miniatures are in Warhammer Visions tomorrow!
It’s a great honour but at the same time It’s a shame the magazine has a limited audience! So much could be done with that format which they don’t do. No interviews with the people who make the amazing minis, no real guides (though admittedly there are some useful paint splatter stuff) and no articles from the ‘eavy metal team.
Seems like a missed opportunity!
Still, I am still pleased to have some of my minis in there! Really pleased!
So, what’s next after the Gal Vorbak and Possessed?
Some of you may remember a while back when I started this beast:
It is a little worse for wear, and to be frank I didn’t work on it at all since I last posted pictures of it (I was at uni!) However I am hoping with a little bit of green stuff and a lot of luck I can turn it into a decent looking transport for my Possessed!
Further help came from a Throner on the forums, who last year sent me some books to use in my conversion work!
Thanks Liam!
So I went back to the first ever Word Bearer I painted yesterday and gave him a bit of a face-lift!
I eventually want to go through all of the standard marines I did way back when I started (over 5 years ago now). There’s two reasons for this. The first being I painted these in a rush. I wanted a painted army quickly and I just did a couple of squads as fast as I could.
Secondly I really struggled finding a paint scheme I liked. In the beginning it was just dark red with a black wash!
I really should have taken a before and after picture of this guy!
Ah well.
Discuss this post here.
So, this is the finished Squad!
And here are some more pics of the final four marines.
Pretty glad this squad has been finished, as I can now move on to something else! The Possessed were okay to paint, but I am looking forward to doing something other than infantry!
Final Possessed Marine has been finished!
Yay!
I will hopefully take a full group photograph later on today or tomorrow! So glad this squad is done!
Now I need to mull over what’s next a little longer.
Decisions decisions…
Work begins on the final Possessed Marine!
Hoping to have this guy done by tonight, then I can begin work on something new! Honestly cannot wait!
Possessed number ten done!
Just one more to go (I know, eleven is a weird number), then I can move on to something else! I am tantalized by my options!
TANTALIZED!
The end is almost in sight!
Once this guy has been completed I have just one more Possessed Marine to paint and then I can move on to something else!
Woo!
The Possessed champion is finished!
This isn’t the best thing I have ever painted, but given the lack of enthusiasm I have for the models now I am pretty pleased with how he turned out!
I wasn’t going to bother using the back pack with the wings, because I think they look a little stupid. But in the end I needed to do something that would denote him as the squad leader, and this is the best I could do without cracking open the green stuff!
The ninth Possessed Marine is coming along slowly.
Truth is, after painting the Gal’Vorbak it’s hard to get enthusiastic about the possessed. I don’t dislike the models, but in comparison to their older brothers they are rather uninspired. Ah well, just three more to do!
