Razblood's randomness, change on the horizon.

I'd recommend, for the mk iii helm eyes, maybe adding a dark wash around the edges (it'll naturally pool there) to help the eyes be a bit more distinguishable

 

Yeah they ended up a bit blobby, I'll sort them out before I do the decals.

[Razblood]

Another bout of insomnia, another burst of activity.

 

Got the basecoat, first highlight and dark lining done on the Gladiator. Here's where she currently stands.

 

Also fixed the eyes on the Lieutenant with the MkIII helm but can't be bothered to go and grab him for a pic so it'll keep until I start the decals.

 

Also, over 100k views.....wow!

Looks like you're making good progress  

[ZeroWolf]

Like the green you've got on there 

[Razblood]

Gladiator has gone through the ritual 5+ hours of edge highlighting and got some more base coats done.

 

Also finished basing, decals* and got the satin varnish on my heresy testers, little bit too shiny on the Mk6 guys arm where I caught it a bit close. I'll fix that with some brush on varnish later.

 

*I'm using 40k decals as I prefer the design, plus I'm not forking out £20+ for a bleeding decal sheet when I've got loads that are perfectly fine.

Those Blood Angels look like they mean business! Love what you've done with them.

The Gladiator looks great!  I really like the green in the finished picture.

I am still working on stuff, I promise.

 

Hopefully have a big update soon.

 

In the meantime here is something that proved a brief distraction from the 1st.

 

 

[Razblood]

Got distracted, again.

 

Still working on the Dark Angels, just hit a bit of burnout with them.

 

But I have picked up a brush recently to continue with another project, for which I actually have something to show.

 

First half of Tactical squad Gadrael and Captain Sandalphon.

 

Second half of squad Gadrael is underway along with Veteran Tactical Squad Causiel.

 

I'll try to get back to posting more regularly, as long as I don't lose focus again 

 

[Firedrake Cordova]

They definitely came out nicely  

[Razblood]

Been working on some non 40k stuff of late, which is why there's been no updates.

 

However today I got bored and decided I fancied some good old fashioned kitbashing, so I present my new unit of Sternguard*.

 

*Better pics once they're painted I promise.

 

 

[Firedrake Cordova]

I see a beaky helmet being added to a model, I click "like"   

 

On a more serious note, I like the idea of kit-bashing the Sternguard, as you get a unique set of models, which befits a group of veterans of centuries.

[Razblood]

Well, after my last post I kinda fell off the hobby for a spell. 

 

Still haven't finished the Gladiator as I just seemed to hit a wall with it.

 

However I have recently picked up a brush again and am currently bouncing between projects old and new.

 

More sons of the Lion incoming along with some kitbashed Dawnbreakers for the Heresy.

 

The kitbashed Sternguard are nearly done along with a Redemptor and new Terminator Captain.

 

A second Terminator Captain has accidentally revived my Firstborn Templars and I may actually finish the whole project.

 

Finally after sorting out my Heresy army I ended up with a lot of old MK3 and MK4 marines with nothing to do, so they're now going the way of Chaos as an Iron Warriors strike force.

 

I'll sort some pics out over the next few days for judgement.

 

But I think it's safe to say that I'm back on the horse.
