Kept painting...

Weathering these guys a bit less. Don't wanna be a one trick pony ;)

Weekly Update - World Eaters

12 more World Eaters ready for clear (too windy to clear tonight) and then I will blood the 20, I have found 5 extras that accidentally got thrown in with my stuff that I need to bring up and I will work on them in the midst of assembling Ultras. Ultras upgrades also showed up!


The picture is shitty and the lighting washes out a lot of depth as do all of my pictures with this light and my phone.

My weekly update

10 Red Scorpions Assault Marines and 2 Predators. 1 Annihilator pattern and the other is Autocannon/Heavy Bolters.

Washed black and drybrushed back up to gray. These are literally the last models I have for this army. Planning to begin on Imperial Fists again next week.

Death from the above!

This weeks project: the entire 10 man squad of dark furies. All it took was painting one for me to love painting these models. They are quite a bit more dyanmic then I originally thought.

Sicaran done

Have to work on some iconography for it, hopefully t-sons transfers some day. Went a little too heavy on the weathering but it came out pretty good

Bonus Model: Techmarine and Thunderfire

I got bored.

More Troops, and a Speeder

So this week I made some great progress in the troops area as well. I finished the remaining tactical squad. I finished the last 10 scouts I had. As an extra bonus I also finished one of my two land speeder storms for one of the scout squads.

The last 6 I had to paint. They are by far the best of the bunch.

You guys like Space Marines?

30 Red Scorpions ready for transfers and basing. They should be done this week. Then I'm on to 10 assault marines and the Scorps are DONE!

Sicaran...

After looking around online I'm debating on going with a beige color instead of the white accents for the t-sons. I'm on the fence. White is probably more correct for the scheme but I like the kind of sand/parchment feel the beige gives it, plus I don't have to paint white then. What I don't like about the beige is with the red and gold there isn't enough contrast to make the scheme interesting. Thoughts or suggestions anyone?

Raven Guard Update #2

For this weeks update I retouched up my scouts. They look much less grey and more like ghosts. My second task this week was the weapons upgrade for Colg, the Vengeful. Going from the assault cannons to the havoc launcher and lascannons is sure to make a difference. I think the white on the muzzles also brings out the model much more. I added transfers to my recon squad as well.  I also primed the Mor'deythane and the Dark Furies.

Update 2 Red Scorpions tacs

Hi Guys,

Lots more progress this week. This is 20 tactical marines and 10 devastators. I am batch painting them so what you see here is; basecoat gray, wash black, drybrush gray, basecoat brown, layer yellow. 

Next up is to lay down white, metals, red, transfers, weathering and basing.

Weekly Update #2, More ready for blood.

4 more World Eaters ready for blood! 4 more on deck, also happened to build a test model for The Mighty XIIIth while I was waiting for Transfers to set and dry on these guys! Hope you enjoy.

Deployment:

XIX: Corvus was the only model deployed before Infiltrators
Ahriman: Cultists Ahriman and a set of Oblits defended the backfield from infiltration. Kevin made sure to spread the cultists out to give me no room for open deployment back there.

Ravens won the infiltrator roll off. Alvarex Maun posted up with the recon squad in the center forest.

Ahriman deployed a set of oblits and a set of mutilators in the builinds in the XIX's deployment zone.

Kevin managed to seize the initiative, but due to Alvarex Maun being on the board XIX got to re-roll that dice, and kept chaos from seizing.

 _________________________________________________________________________________

XIX Turn 1:The XIX opened up with a drop pod right into the heart of the chaos army. Squad Oryv deployed with one target in mind, Ahriman himself. After a rapid fire volley and decapitation strike re-rolls Ahriman fell. Corvus held an objective.

Ahriman Turn 1: Chaos retaliated against Sqaud Oryv with a tide of cultists fire and assault cannons from the obliterators. 86 shots and 42 wounds later a lone Raven survived. He failed his leadership and began retreating.

The cultists on the hill fired at the recons squad along with the Helbrute's plasma cannon. The obliterators in the XIX backfield joined in as well with another 3 plasma cannons. The onslaught of shots left 3 dead recon squad a Maun suffered 1 wound.

Points: 1 from Objective 3, 1 from Objective 2

Total XIX-5 Ahriman-2

XIX Turn 2:The assault squad and the Mor'deythane both succeeded in arrive on turn 2. The assault squad brashly deployed right next to a group of cultists that were accompanied by a dark apostle. The Mor'Deythane capitalized on Maun's Nightfall Nuncio-vox and deployed without hesitation in the backfield of the XIX. 

A lascannon from the Darkwing destroyed a mutilator out right. A 12 plasma 3 plasma guns and 3 combi-plasmas incinerated the remaining mutilators.

Mutilators deep struck to seize another objective in the XIX backfield.

The Oblits in the back field rained a hail of assault cannons upon the Mor'deythane killing 4.

Due to the shadowed lord rule the Oblits in Ahriman's deployment zone shot at the rear armor of the Darkwing, sending it crashing to the ground.

Cultists charged both the lone Raven in middle board and the remaining assault squad. The Helbrute assaulted and blew up the drop pod. Yes i said "Cultists charged."

Update #1

Well, since everyone else decided to jump the gun and get their updates ahead of schedule, I guess I need to follow along, so here is an update on Tyler's World Eaters.

This Vexilla bearer is still in progress but almost done, just needs transfers and some final touch up.

These 3 are done other than some blood spray, I am going to do all the blood spray at one time once they are all in the same state as these guys. The middle guy is a "Veteran Sergeant" who still wears his Warhounds colors from the days before Angron took control of his Legion, this was a request by Tyger, as it's stated in Book 1 that some of them still did this during the crusade. Sorry for the picture quality, snapped these quickly before work this morning.

Raven Guard Update #1

Finished off 2 of 4 scout squads. Veteran Sgt. Revax using a Mor'deythan Sniper Rifle as the Nihilus relic. I actually attempted some edge highlighting on these models and think for the most part they came out decent. Used the Heresy recon markings instead of company markings too. I really like the look of them with the numerals.
