Cheers guys, I have a week off work next week so hopefully will have some more stuff to show soon.

I have decided to tackle the MKIV Command Squad as it's just 2 figures and a Scicaran...

We'll see how much I actually get done... ;)

Cheers guys.

 

So I have made a start on an HQ choice - gotta say not really enjoying this mini so far....

It's the limited edition Praetor and the one I got had a lot of issues, mainly miscasts.

I should have sent it back tbh and FW did offer to replace it but one thing led to another and I never got round to it.

I have fixed him up as best I as I can - quite a bit of greenstuff, and thought would get some paint on him as a practice piece.

I had to swap the head, not because of any casting issues, as I hate the one it comes with.

Still very WIP but looking at the photos needs some tidying up but he's getting there.

Will obviously look better with arms.....

Cheers guys, the gold is just Retributor Armour gold with a Reikland Flesh shade wash.

 

Then tidy up with Retributor Armour gold then highlight by adding old GW Shining Gold then final highlight of 60/40 Shining Gold and Mithril Silver.

 

You should get same effect with Auric Gold and Runefang Steel?

 

Retributor Armour gold is amazing though, goes on in one coat. :)

Decided to take a break from the Praetor for a bit (ever just get one of those moments where you aren't enjoying painting a particular mini but having a break helps?) so I started another potential HQ.

This is one of the guys from the MKIV Command Squad, the standard bearer is also on the go.

Again still very WIP but he's also getting there. Also quite pleased as this is the result of a day's work which is super fast for me - I'm getting quicker. :)

Obviously will be painting arms the rest of the week.....

The photos have kind of bleached out the colours a bit but happier with the head and face than I thought I'd be. Didn't like the look of the one that came with the kit and was going to swap it out but actually looks alright. He looks a bit small though.

Standard Bearer WIP.

Have only just started on his cloak so it's looking a bit messy but hopefully have it sorted by end of today.

Then will be having fun with decals.... the standard decal looks like it will be a nightmare....

Cheers everybody.

 

So I haven't managed to get any painting done for quite some time. Work, study and life in general have eaten up all of my hobby time. So now I finally have a bit of spare time I managed to get something done.

Because I haven't painted for a good few months I thought I would start with something big as I was feeling a bit rusty. I bought loads of Betrayal at Calth boxes so have a fair few Contemptors kicking around so had a go at one.

This is the result so far. Pretty much finished - just gotta add decals and do the base.

It's nice to be painting Ultras again. :)

Hi everybody,

Small update from me, as ever bad photos though...

Considering starting a new plog as I have lost all of my photobucket links, not sure how everybody else is resolving that one?

Anyway I have managed to find a bit of time to get some painting done. Not much, just a WIP of the Primaris Lieutenant from the starter set. Need to get some photos in daylight as the face is looking a lot darker than in IRL.

Cheers guys.

 

 

Ok so apart from the base the Primaris Lieutenant is done. Took way longer than I was expecting (so used to painting "normal" marines and these are pretty different) but overall happy with it, hopefully be able to get them done a bit quicker now.
As always my photos are awful though! :) The blue is actually nowhere near that bright / light IRL.

It's been so long since I did any painting I couldn't find my own Plog.... lol.

 

Anyway still not much to see but have started to add some more Primaris - obviously these are still very WIP which is why they have no arms, heads, etc....

OK so a tiny bit of progress. Heads aren't attached yet but gives an idea of what they will look like.

I have also started a painting challenge on another forum - paint a 100PL army in 6 months. I am going for 100PL Ultramarines Primaris list, that way I can run them on their own or add them to my Ultras 2nd Company.

So first month's pledge is a Gravis Captain and 10 x Intercessors. Just base coated so far but for once I'm keeping to a painting schedule.
