Tide of Darkness

The only good thing about my trip getting cancelled is that I've gotten a bunch of painting and modellingdone. Adding this latest batch to the Tots stuff and that amounts to 56 models done this month alone.

Painted; a bunch of Black Legion Space Marines:

Primed; my home-grown raptors:

Modelled; my aspring champions and Berzerkers of Khorne:

Behind these guys is a bunch more Chaos Space Marines that are already assembled, sad, rule-less Cypher and some Fallen to keep him company, and a second hand defiler in need of a refit.

However, before I continue with any of the above, my Deep Striking Santa II project for the Freebootaz is...well that's a secret for now but let's just say it emcompasses someone's doom.

Still Here

I have not drifted off into the Warp, I've just been really busy with other stuff and have not posted my pics yet. I've just completed fourteen Chaos Space Marines and need to add decals and a banner and they will be done. I'm also building some Khorne Berzerkers and some Raptors. I am very pleased with how both are coming and I think you will find them slightly different than the norm. In the meantime, I'm supposed to be leaving on a family trip, but it may get delayed or cancelled due to illness so we will see.

For those of you who celebrate, Happy Thanksgiving.

Tots are Complete!

The whole load will go out in the mail today. There is a lot more I would have liked to have done with the figures; weathering and more details on the vehicles, squad symbols on the figures, but frankly I had too much to do in too little time. Parts I am proud of; the flames on the jet packs, and the squad sysmbols that I did using putty (except for the figs that came with the SoBR box; they already had theirs).

Let the Tots Rejoyce!

This month for my 40k Radio Motivational Challenge I am doing my first batch of figures for their Toys For Tots project which is an Ultramarine army.

Photobucket

I used Army Painter blue for the primer/base coat. Turns out it is a little brighter than Ultramarines blue but it made the first coat go better. Right now I'm about half done (pics when complete) with the first batch which is the stuff I'm contributing from my SoBR set. The rest of the figures will be from Syr Syko, who is serving in Afghanistan and was not going to be albe to paint his contribution. I tossed in a couple other figures to round his contribution out and tie them together but essentially the next three shots are what he will be contributing, to include the awesomely magnatized dread. Needless to say, I have a lot of painting to do this month if I am going to get these in on time.
