Wait a moment! That's a RT Land Raider, isn't it???

It is indeed. None of this modern landraider nonsense for me.*

 

*Only because I can't afford one.

Got a splash of colour on them, mainly as I don't want to go too grim dark.

Your yellow looks like it's not finished yet, it could look a lot nicer.

A little tip for the yellow stripes: prime the yellow surfaces first with some ochre colour, like Averland Sunset and then apply a bright yellow to it, like Yriel Yellow. The Yriel Yellow can then be highlighted with a bit of Flash Gitz Yellow.

Cheers for the tip Aasfresser. They are due another layer on those anyway, but I will try prime the other 15 with something else before the yellow anyway. Fingers crossed that helps make them pop a little.

Dat Proteus!  Love the model and can't wait to see it properly Traitor'd up!

Been working away, but my Ahriman is falling well behind.

Progress has been made and miniatures have been based, at least the startings of it. I pretty much call this tabletop ready if not finished.

You can't have a Thousand Sons army without including this guy! Ahirman is not finished yet but he is on his way for sure. Most of this was knocked out in one sitting so there is a lot to touch up, highlight, OSL, look confused at the idea of blending and such.

 

I have actually done some high lights on the red robe but not sure if I need to deepen them or not.

I am looking forward to getting more of them up here and on my blog :)

 

I have been doing more work on the two squads and trying to greenstuff my daemon prince. If I get the squads and Ahirman done in time I mgiht try do him as a second ETL vow.

Funny you should say that as I started back in second edition as a Wolves player, I still have all my models for it. But they lost me with Wolves riding wolves, that was the Wolf jumping the shark at that point sadly.

So I had an Emperor's Champion model laying around, honestly I am not sure where it came from as I didn't buy it and I don't know anyone who plays Black Templars. After looking at a few different threads and wanting to break up painting blue for a while I thought why not make him Chaotic.

 

As such he started down the road to becoming a lord of the Emperor's Children...

Shaving down that chest piece to fit over the original was some tough work but I thought it would help seperate the model from it's original state and add some bling. As we know the Emperor's Children like there bling.

Just remember, there is no such thing as excessive. If you feel you've gone too far, you haven't ;)

 

Great stuff :tu:

I will do my best. I have a lot of the basic shape locked in now and pondering adding chains dangling off him. But I need to get mt ETL vow finished up first.

 

Thanks for commenting.

Don't I know it! I have a couple of tiny touch ups and photos to take and I will be happy with them. Glad I didn't try for any more this year. I got so much done so early and then swamped by other stuff.

New toys!

 

Fliers didn't exist back when I used to actually play Warhammer, so now they are here I had to get at least one. So I present to you Squawks the Heldrake. I went with the baleflamer because it looked cool. I already want another one though.
