It's been a while since I have been able to work on anything. A number of things have eaten up my spare time, and work (as is the case for everyone!) sadly sucks up any painting time during the day!

 

However, here is the latest Gal Vorbak!

Hoping to get him done this weekend, but I'm not rushing anything, trying to take my time on them! It's not like I have time to actually game anyway!

It's been quite a while since I have had enough time to spend on these guys, I also got quite a lot of new minis for Christmas which have been drawing my attention away from them! Still, I don't like starting a new project before finishing the old one.

Quite happy with him so far, really love these models so despite the new stuff appealing to me, this doesn't feel like a chore at all!

I need to finish his base but this is the fourth Gal Vorbak done and dusted! Just one more to go and then I get to start a new project. Either the Space Hulk terminators or even more Chaos stuff!

I may revisit this guy in the future, just touch his horns up a little and maybe his legs. It;'s been a few weeks since I put paint to brush and I have lost my edge a little bit!

Hot on the heels of my previous Gal Vorbak, work has already begun on the final member of the squad, the champion.

I actually use these guys as Chaos Spawn for my Word Bearers in 40k. I've never played 30k, but I really hope the rules in that system do the models justice.

That's...that's frickin' genius, Tzen.  It's actually cheaper to buy a set of 5 of them than multiple Spawn kits, and not by a small amount, either.  Sold.

Thanks man!

 

Little more work has been done on the final Gal Vorbak.

I have to admit the face on this guy is really annoying. I am not sure if the detail around his mouth is so fine that I have cack-handedly ruined it, or if it is slightly miscast. Rest of the model is really nice, just the face. 
 
Anyway, nearly done, no idea what comes next after this guy!

Little more work has been done on the final Gal Vorbak, all of the bone areas are still to be completed, the face continues to annoy me a lot.

Hoping to get him done by tomorrow, then I think I have a few more possessed marines to finish off!

Well, the final Gal Vorbak has been completed!

 

Sorry for the bad pic, the light in the north of England is awful at the mopment!

I have to be honest, this is the worst of the bunch. The details on the face (the other side of the one in the picture) was pretty bad. It really brought my enthusiasm down for what was my favourite miniature out of the five.

 

Still, they are done! I just have three more possessed models to finish, then I have a clean slate, will need to pick a new project!

Whatever bothers you really doesn't come across in the pictures -- the model looks excellent and is, in fact, my favourite of the bunch. Great job!

 

Oh, and congratulations on the WD picture -- in fact, they should feature your army across multiple pages in Visions, if you ask me ;)

Cheers Krautscientist! 

 

I always think the paint job looks better in the pictures than in "real life". 

 

And whilst i would love my army to be in visions, I am pretty chuffed just one squad was in the dwarf! Don't want to be too greedy! :D

Got a slightly better picture of the last of the Gal Vorbak.

Also the wings backpack for the next Possessed model!

Awesome work dude!! I especially love the green rune on the leg, very nice. The parchment/script is also really well done. If I had to make one small critique it would be regarding the static grass on the base. I feel like there is just a tad too much on the front of the base and it obscures the texture of the sand.

 

Can't wait to see the possessed :)

Well, I had the chance to break out the old light box and camera this afternoon and did my best to take some decent photographs of the Gal Vorbak!

I now have four more Possessed Chaos Space Marines to complete then I have a few options open to me. I have the majority of the Dark Vengeance Chaos models to paint. But I also have Space Hulk, chaos lord and sorcerer to convert and loads of other stuff...

 

... You never really finish painting your army do you!

 

I really need more daylight lamps to make the light box work for me as well as it could. But for now these will have to do!
