Librarian all done!

I'm terribly sorry for the long wait. I really am. I've been so busy, applying for jobs and schools, and been on vacation, I've not had time to sit and relax for weeks. My vacation was amazing, though. Warhammer World was pretty awesome too, though I didn't take too many pictures.

Anyway, here is my librarian, finally done. I'm quite pleased with how he looks. I did try giving his armour a blue shade at first, but I really didn't like how it came out, so I reverted to grey. This miniature is of course from Space Hulk, but I find it absolutely gorgeous, and there was no way I'd leave him out of my army. I tried to do the gold in Bleached Bone then wash with Gryphonne Sepia, I think it came out well enough. Maybe I'll go back and do some more highlighting, but for now, Librarian Dintathra is done.

Still in England...

Well, as the title says, I'm still in England. Warhammer World was absolutely amazing, I am glad I took the trip there. I didn't buy any miniatures, as I'll no doubt have trouble enough with my suitcase being overweight, but I got the last four books of the Horus Heresy. So far I've read Thousand Sons, and I've started on Nemesis. Very good stuff.

In other news, I went by GW Woking, where I'm staying, and had a great talk with the guy working there, chap called Lucas. He was most accomodating, and I got to look at the shiny new Grey Knights miniatures and codex, which I'm now pretty sure will be my next army. Before that, however, I will be adding some more stuff to my Carcharodons; the Devastators need to be finished, the Librarian, a tactical squad and a dreadnaught. After all that, which I reckon will take me a couple of months, I'll be starting a second blog for my Grey Knights, hopefully.

Anyway, be patient, I'll be home around this time next week, and I can start giving you the pictures you crave, hehe. Paix!

Warhammer World

What a life, what a life. My office is finally finished, and I've even managed to some painting. I'm working on the Space Hulk Librarian, who will be done in my Carcharodons scheme. He's about 50% done atm, no pics yet I'm afraid. I do really like this mini, it has quite a presence about it.

Anyway, the reason for this pictureless post: tomorrow I leave for England. I will be there all of 9 days, during which I will finally visit Warhammer World for the first time! On monday the 14th of March I will walk down the halls of GW and see them for myself. I have a vague feeling I'm setting myself up for disappointment, but meh. I will be taking pictures, so you can at least look forward to those. I'm also very curious about what exclusive items and minis I can purchase there, and add to my army. It'll be awesome.

So, alas, no pictures for now, but I promise I'll spend more time painting when I get home again. Paix!

My apologies!

Hi guys, I'm terribly sorry for not posting anything lately. The problem is, I'm busy refurbishing my office, painting the walls, etc. Got a new desk too, which is fairly awesome. Anyway, I hope to be finished with everything by the end of this weekend, and can start painting again next week. Paix!

Group Shot!

Here they are, in all their gory goodness. Next up for painting: devasators and a librarian!

Assault Marines are done!

And here they are. The remaining three assault marines from my five man squad are finally completed, after a lot of procastinating on my part. They've been more or less done for about a week now, but I've been busy with all sorts of other crap. Finally, today I found the time to add the finishing touches, such as the chapter emblem on the shoulder, putting them on the bases and adding blood effects. I'm very pleased with the squad, they really look vicious.

Tyberos - The Red Wake

And, he's finally done! Tyberos the Red Wake is complete. What an awesome miniature, fun to paint, and he just looks so brutal. The chainfist/lightning claw combination looks sweet, totally fitting to a chapter like the Carcharodons (or the World Eaters).

You might notice he has a different helmet, I'll be honest and say I wasn't too much in love with the original one. I cut the helmet off the dead terminator from Space Hulk, the one that's on the throne. With a little trimming and filing, it was fit for action. The battle scarring is very fitting in my army. Maybe I'll use the original helmet on a sergeant or something, we'll see.

Assault Marine Sergeant

Hurra! I managed to finish another assault marine - the sergeant with his plasma pistol - and also, Tyberos arrived in the mail today! I think I was very lucky, the mini was near flawless. I've gotten some real crap mold errors in my Forgeworld miniatures sometimes, but Tyberos was a real beauty. I look forward to painting him next week, when I get back from my vacation. Oh, I forgot to add earlier; I got all the Space Hulk terminators, and will be de-Blood Angel-ifying them next week as well.

Have a good week all, paix.

Assault Marine - complete

Well, I finished my first assault marine today. I'm not 100% happy with it, but happy enough. The legs, chest and head are from Forgeworld, I am quite pleased I spent money on them. They sure were expensive. The Devastator squad has been undercoated, but I've been working on the assault marines first, and they're almost done. I reckon I'll be able to finish one more before I'll be gone for about a week on vacation.

Devastator Sergeant Kai-Loq

Just finished the devastator squad sergeant, Brother Kai-Loq. Yeah, I decided to give him the name Kai-Loq instead. One thing I'm really happy with on this mini is the battle damage. He really looks battered.
