Even outnumbered and armed only with a shattered axe, they still fear me. I can smell it in their sweat, hear it in their voices, and see it it their wide eyes that reflect the flames." A work in progress log for my army. http://i64.tinypic.com/2dw6omp.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFred Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 I've never actually played the game of 40K. I've only ever had a few models and painted them up for myself and friends. I decided to collect my first army. I chose Blood Angels and this was the first box to arrive ft. Blu the kitten. You may find she appears in some regular photos, she's not camera shy. Time to get started. http://i64.tinypic.com/27yyj2g.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFred Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 I've built most of the models in the box but haven't got to the tactical squad yet. I laid down some base coats last night. I'm using a black base coat, then slow gradient up from khorne red, mepheston red and the old blood red from GW. This photo was taken in natural light and the airbrush makes it very matte which I don't particularly want. My wash method should tighten that surface up a bit. Testing lightbox with some fancy photography, couldn't help but take some s naps of Blu. http://i64.tinypic.com/vh5mvs.jpg Amazing what an SLR can do. http://i68.tinypic.com/10e1sfd.jpg http://i67.tinypic.com/2my55y9.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedFred Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 I purchased some new models online last night, I picked up a great deal on some second hand miniatures. I'll get a list together of what I got but I just wanted to share that I found some of the Space Hulk Blood Angel Terminators including the Liberian. Can barely contain myself, I love those models. Spent some time playing with washes and trying to figure out the best method to use on the entire army. I'm going to go with a gloss varnish, a wash of riekland fleshshade gloss followed by a light dusting of testors dullcote. This is the result I have so far using the little dude who sits on top of the Baal Predator. I think it looks quite good for the little effort involved. Those gloss washes really work on their own, minimal surface clean up. http://i66.tinypic.com/2hx0f2a.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFred Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 I got home last night with really good intention to attack some modeling but after a gym session I just had no energy left. I did get some assembly done. This is the pack from the Collectors Box - the Blood Angels come with so much ornate detail I'm real excited to get some done this weekend. I've also used some extra bits to help signify who is the Sergeant. I'm running two as I've split this tac squad up into two combat squads to fill my troop choices. Check out all that plastic detail! http://i63.tinypic.com/jjp45l.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 The red effect is pretty nice, especially considering it's only a few layers.Although more cats is also always welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFred Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Spent some time tonight doing a lot of assembly. Below are my two combat squad Sergeants. Chainswords, brmm brmm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFred Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Ready for the paint booth. So I had a bit of an issue with these Space Hulk terminators. Ideally for my list, I want an assault squad of TH/SS. But I'll paint these guys up while I wait until I make another order through Games Workshop. The detail on these guys is crazy - I reckon I'll use that libby though so I added the stormshield I want him to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Great stuff so far. Looking forward to seeing you tackle the Space Hulk models. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFred Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Thanks Biohazard. I'm looking forward to it as well. I've assembled a Liberian Dread. I've always wanted one of these, I'm not sure of their usefulness in the game but I just have to run one, because who else can? Blood Angels can. Yes he's missing a foot.. I think my cat has taken it somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFred Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Boom. Leviathan. I have all his melee weapons coming in the mail. He's fully magnetized for weaponry. All my models have been primed and are still curing (looks a bit glossy in these pics) but I suspect I will be getting some red on tomorrow!

RedFred Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 I think I am decided on some bases like these, rusted out urban bases. The grey and the orange will contrast nicely with the DC and BA scheme. What do you all think? (not my image, taken from google) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFred Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 I am just a LITTLE bit excited to get some paint on! Damn it, I have to go camping for the next three days and I won't be able to do crap all. Washes next and then details. Yummy red, happy as larry.

RedFred Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 The lighting makes it look a little bit orange, but it's definitely red! The old GW blood red is an amazing red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
