Luther's W.o.S.P. (Works of Slow Progress)

[Guest Triszin]

Awesome! Added it to my book marks,

[LutherMax]

Thanks mate!

 

Well I'm back after a forced hiatus due to (another) arm injury. I was a bit worried about further loss of movement and feeling but all seems to be well after about a month of recovery :)

I thought I'd test out my painting hand and ease myself in with a single model, so here is the first HQ character I've completed for the Raptors – Lieutenant Korik. I wanted to keep him consistent with the troops but I did spend a little bit longer over the highlights and details.

Hope you like him!

[Brother Desultor]

Excellent work. It appears that your injury hasn’t affected your ability to paint amazing models.

 

Hope you continue to recover.

Sucks to hear about the injury! Glad to hear recovery is going well!

 

Korik is also looking fantastic! The level of detail is superb!

[steamius]

Fantastic paint job! 

[Leman Russ SW]

Great work as always.  Will you be doing a Lias Issodon? Also can I ask how you did the gold on your Sang Guard.

[LutherMax]

Thanks for the comments and kind words guys :)

I do have plans for Lias as it happens - will be starting on him soon!

 

Which Sanguinary Guard do you mean? I did two squads and used different methods on each.

Sorry the ones of page 20

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work on the Raptor.

Sorry the ones of page 20

Ah for those guys it was:

- Forge World Castellax Bronze base

- Nuln Oil wash

- Drybrush Rub n’ Buff Gold Leaf

- Gryphonne Sepia wash

- Agrax Earthshade wash just in deep recesses

- Silver edge highlights

 

@ Bjorn, thanks!

You guys are probably bored of seeing these but I’ve finished another five Intercessors! I actually enjoy painting them quite a lot but this brings my total up to 20 marines so it will soon be time for something different – and arguably more interesting

 

Anyway, I hope you like them!

Beautiful work.

[hushrong]

Never will I get bored checking out beautifully painted miniatures! And you are doing these Raptors justice!

 

Interested in what you are cooking up next!

[LutherMax]

Thanks guys, appreciate it!

 

Next up, Predator No. 2 for the Armoury...

 

[Doghouse]

Love what you are doing with these guys. I'm a big fan of green marines and you'll pulled this off superbly with a great job on the lights on the rhino. I had to scroll back to check those were not LEDs :D

When I say things like that in my project logs, it's usually because I'm bored with painting them and haven't been posting something else to break up the perceived monotony. I assure you that they're still a treat for me to look at. (It helps that I'm not looking at them every day for all that time you've spent working on them.)

[Axineton]

Stunning work there mate!! Love the Raptors chapter

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Great job on the Predator!

[hushrong]

The predator looks great! I love the wear and tear throughout and the weathering on and around the tracks! The yellow markings and those decals add quite a bit of character to the tank too.

[LutherMax]

Thanks for the comments guys!

The funny thing is I'm not bored of painting them – I love the Intercessor kit! But I was conscious of posting 4x pretty much the same thing and how dull that may seem to an onlooker

 

Still, it is good to break it up a bit sometimes – for everyone's sake! I'm working on my Captain now as an ETL vow and it's fun to put everything into a single model for a change.

I've been very busy with this guy since Thursday but I think the hard work has paid off. I give you Captain Tuvor of the Raptors IInd Company.

 

[Brother Desultor]

Beautiful mate, simply amazing.

[Dosjetka]

Love that Predator. Fantastic! :tu:

[LutherMax]

Thanks guys!

 

Here's a shot of the army so far.

 

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent assembly, painting, and weathering. You can confidently say your army is covered in glory- the rewards of your hard work.
