Ogle away! :D

 

And I know what you mean about Brexit. Either side of the argument for and against, we are living in interesting times!

 

I'm sitting in New Zealand, watching everything go to strange places back home. Quite glad I'm this far away.

 

Digging the models here, by the way

Thanks Newtoncain and Mhacdebhandia! :D

 

I sometimes feel that my Word Bearers have run their course and I should just start something totally fresh and new. But then things like the Horus Heresy happen and I am sucked right back in! I have loads of standard 30k marines to do next, and Erebus and Kor Phaeron to do. But I have sooooo many projects on the go at the moment that I just can't keep up with them all!

That's really been the fun of the blog. When i first started blogging I was pretty sceptical about it. Largely because I didn't think anyone would care, but also because my photography skills were pretty shocking.

 

But having to learn to take pics, and being able to look back on earlier minis is a boon. I think I learnt more about painting by putting my models under the scrutiny of the camera, and others pointing out mistakes, than at any other point in my hobby career. 

 

I tend to think after a new unit is done "okay, that's it then - Word Bearers finished". But there is looooaadsss more I could be doing. I really need to do a Renegade Knight for my 40k list, and I have loads of standard heresy marines to paint. 

 

Plus my undead army takes up my time, my Ultramarines need some love soon, I am painting up a few Warmachine bits. I keep meaning to start my Harlequins... 

 

... I will die before I ever get everything I want to do finished in this hobby! :D

As with the previous one, I will be adding script/OSL/markings once all of them are finished mostly for consistency. 

I love how trichromatic these assault marines look.

 

Looks like the plasma pistol's barrel on the leftmost marine isn't drilled, but I'm not asking you to drill it; I know from personal experience how easy it is to ruin a muzzle...

Surprisingly enough it is drilled, but some gunk got in it with some plastic glue and I forgot all about it! :D

 

I'm also in two minds about drilling plasma weaponry of any kind. I thought the nozzle of them was meant to be super heated discs which hold the plasma in a ball at the end of the gun then it's magnetically shot out?

 

I'm no weapons guy though, just an assumption. I realised a lot of them come hollow these days so I must be wrong!

I thought I'd share this link with you all:

I have started to live stream my painting. It wont be for every model and the actual reason I got a camera was to do tutorials. But I thought I'd stream today and see how it went. 

 

Pretty happy with the result!
