About this blog

Starting this blog to keep track of what I'm working on, as well as possibly writing down thoughts on what I've shown so I don't forget later! 

Mainly focusing on my custom chapter "Imperial Reivers", as well as whatever else I'm currently working on.

A varnishing Warning to you all!

As this came up in a forum thread, here is a little warning and/or let's have a laugh at my misfortune     This is obviously not a 40k model, but it serves the purpose, because it's what I used.    Finished my faction terrain piece for AoS, and as I was going to be handling it a lot, I thought I'll varnish it with my Citadel Munitorum Varnish Spray. 'What could go wrong?' thought I?   Well, the results speak for themselves.        Yeah

V.I.P.E.R. Kill Team update

A quick update as I've not been doing much 40k recently, as I have started an AoS army so have been mostly working on that.  I did get some time to slap some paint on my V.I.P.E.R. Kill Team Squad, so it's coming together nicely. Trim and details are next.

Chapter Master Glenn Mi'Kell is Finished!

I'm on a roll! That's 4 models finished this year, and it's only March!    Armour is now finished, and based to match the rest of my army (I may add some grassy bits, but that's not as important). Armour paint was a gloss black base coat, with Green Stuff World Cobalt Blue Chameleon paint (the same I used over the white on the Celestian Insidiant, but that had different results as it reacts differently over different base coats).

Celestian Insidiant + Chapter Master

I've finished one of my Celestian Insidiants for your viewing pleasure.    I'm happy with the way it's come out in the end. The purple inner lining of the cloth gives a bit of contrast to the brighter colours of the rest of the model. the only thing I'm not sure about is the eyes... The red is blending in with the Fleur de Lys on the helmet, and I'm considering changing the lense colour. Not sure to what though: A quick mock up with green and blue below. (yellow would be swamped

Kill Team updates: Scorpion & Sisters

An update to two of my Kill Teams, my main Blades of Khaine, and starting my Celestian Insidiants.  First off, I've mostly finished my Scorpion Exarch with Claw/Chainsword, which is pretty standard colourwise, and I doubt I'll be doing anything different with the Dire Avengers and Banshees.        Second, I have started blocking in the colours for the Sisters, with teal cloth and white armour. Once the darker colours get blocked in, it'll get a bit more contrast

Kill Team - V.I.P.E.R. Tempestus Aquilons

Obviously, I can't have only one Kill Team! That would just be silly... or two apparently, as I've also picked up the Celestian Insidiants as well!    First off, here's my test scheme for my Aquilons which I'm happy with so will go for this colour scheme!    I present to you V.I.P.E.R.! Vertical Insertion, Precision Execution & Reconnaissance  (I'm sure you can figure out the inspiration for these guys!)     I'm looking for a quick scheme rather

Chapter Master Progress

Some progress on the ol' Chapter Master. As it's all a bit backwards, I've gotten the leather, bone, and parchment completed. Bronze/Gold is to be finished and I'm attempting a bit of free hand on the banner. I also really need to write down some of the background lore and details of the chapter itself at some point.

Chapter Master and start on Sternguard

Updates to my Chapter Master, and blocking in the colours for the Sternguard.  First off, CM: After a base of Vallejo glossy black all over (this is base for the chameleon paint), the gold/bronze trim has been picked out, along with the gubbins. I'll get these all painted up before doing the main armour colour, because correcting with black will be easier and less obvious than touching up chameleon paint! The cape is only stuck on with blu-tak. I've learned that lesson with other mo

Chapter Master, and a Kill Team

I have done a bit of minor kit bashing on Calgar to make my Chapter Master Glenn Mi'Kell (Kudos to anybody that gets that Scottish childhood reference!)   I don't like doing bare heads much, but as he's the Chapter Master, he needs an impressive beard!       Because he's a bit special I'll be using the Green Stuff World chameleon Cobalt Blue paint on his armour. Should hopefully look good!    Also, because I'm starting Kill Team at my games clu

League army update.

A WIP update working through my squads. I felt that the blue on the Bladeguard (previous blog entry) was a bit too "bright" on the blue, so I've changed up the recipe, and now I've gone with Naggaroth Night base, light colour as MacCragge Blue, and blended back with Vallejo Dark Prussian Blue (the darkest blue I had). So I'm happy with that, as I don't want the colour shift to be too prominent in that the army looks blue rather than the purple I want. Edge highlights are Teclis blue or Genesteal

Game time! Preparing for club tournament

I have recently had the chance to join a local gaming group (Midhammer if there is anybody local who knows it), so now I'm getting to play games! Yeay!    I've now got 2 full games under my belt, and I start in the tournament in September... I'm expecting bottom of the table results    Bonus points are awarded for painted armies, so that means I need to get the proverbial digit out and painting!            So, continuing from my previous Ter

MacFarlane figure Complete!

Finished the details of my MacFarlane figure that I'll be using for reference for painting the colour-shift style I'm going for with my chapter armour.  The figure was sprayed with Rust-Oleum "Cosmic Blue" Colour Shift rattle cans (with the correct undercoat), and everything else was hand painted with good old Citadel paints. The spray paint was... not great to work with to be honest: It was, and still is, very sticky, so I have to be careful what I was holding it with, and because it's col

Salamander Statue back on the WIP pile

Quick update.    After about 14 years, I'm getting my Salamander back on the WIP desk to start clearing my more important backlog of figures. He's been at the same stage since about 2010/11 (there's a theme here), so I'm getting him finished. Originally I was just going to paint him with just a basic style, but since changed to more reflective/NMM style that's more interesting.    Starting with the right leg and knee, it's already looking a bit more interesting!

Imperial Reivers Captain

Imperial Reivers Captain arrives for battle

After testing out various schemes to get the colour I want, and proposing all my cloth/cloaks etc to be Tartan, here is my Terminator Captain incorporating all the elements I have been toying with.   The Armour recipe I'm going with: Base of Naggaroth Night (or Leviathan purple contrast) Layer up with Asurmen Blue then Teclis Blue. Highlights with Teclis Blue and Moot green   The Tartan is based on the Kilt I have which I can't remember the name of... Something

Imperial Reivers colour scheme update.

Chapter Scheme update!  Updated the paint scheme of my first born marines with a side by side comparison of the old (right) and new (left), to match my Priamaris marine colour schme. It was also a good test scheme in which to practice how I'm going to proceed with the scheme so I can actually get past the base coat stage of them.

Skullz Bolt Pistol repainted

A quick update as I've not been able to hobby as much as I would like recently (and when I have it's not 40k related). I've been painting up a model for Darren Latham's glow up challenge, so I've repainted a Black Reach marine (I'll post an update after the 6th). While setting that up, I found this bolt pistol keyring from the Skullz promotion from back in the year 2000, and though that would be a good one to do as well.  Stripped what paint was left on it (I had painted it and used it as a

Abaddon is finished!

It's been 23 years, but I have finally finished painting Abaddon! <yeah! woo! alright!>    I need to fiddle with getting the chain attached to the skulls (holes too small for chain end to fit, so need to fiddle with it), but other than that it is done, and I'm happy with it.  Quick photo taken, but will need to sort out some decent photos soon for a proper post on the forum! Enjoy

Abaddon update and guilliman started

Time to get back to the big chap!  Finishing off the various skulls on his trophy rack and the couple hanging from his waist (not pictured), but mainly finishing off his right pauldron with the massive eye! All that's left to do is: 1. finish off a his various 'metal' skulls such as on the talons and left pauldron 2. finish the helmet and decomposing head to complete the trophy rack 3. Paint his topknot and reattach to head 4. Paint and reattach the ammo feeder to the

Uriel Ventris, Captain of the Ultramarines 4th Company

Here is my recently finished figure of Uriel Ventris that I painted because it was March (for Maccragge!). All painted within one month, which is good for me.  Painted pretty much following the GW app colours, so nothing really special there. I decided on making the floor shiny, so attempted a bit of 'relection' of the blue armour on it, which works well enough for what I wanted (Golden Daemon winners need not worry!). The Power sword has some zappy sparks running up it, with a vague attempt m

First post, Imperial Reivers colour scheme

First post trying out some Colour schemes for my chapter, looking for a deep purple with a chameleon paint feel to it. I feel the blue highlights are a bit too "bright" so maybe try a more greenish shade.  As a note the Reiver models are in no way related to the chapter title, this chapter started way back in the late 90's, and the updated colour scheme is for the Primaris marines. The first born are just Liche Purple without fancy pants scheme and will stay that way.
