Slowly progressing on my Luna Wolves. Took advantage of spare time yesterday to work on one of my rhinos. Still need to do more on the bolters and treads, and then commit to decals and weathering.

 

 

Need to decide if I want to try a white ink to bring out more of the white highlights too.

 

Having gotten this far, there are a number of items I could change that would halve the painting time although probably also alter the color tones.  Not sure if I want to try that for the next one or stick with it for consistency.

Decided on a new army for all the MKII marines I've now got. Test boy done for the scheme and I'm really happy with it. Ticks all the boxes for an army project for me - it's fairly quick, uses techniques I enjoy doing, is a bit grimy, and uses a colour I've not really painted much before. 

 

Couple of tweaks that I'll make when I roll it out, but for now it's building time.

Love it! Very effective scheme. The small spot colour on the knee pad really sets it off as well I think.

Ultramarines always warm my heart! He looks great! @Doobles57

I have finished off a couple more SoH Veterans. Firstly, heavy weapons guy. He is a mix of Chaos marine, the new MkII marines and some shoulder pads from I know not were (old metal ones!) 

 

 

Then another Veteran, stalking his prey in the ruins of an underhive. Armed with a Volkite, just because the description made it sound like the gun from District 9 (this is the level of analysis that goes into my army choices! :) )

very slow progress on my EC but have nearly finished this guy up. converted him from the cataphractii warsmith, which is a great sculpt :D this is the 299th company's captain, Lazonus Muzaneel. Going to run him as a Centurion and maybe as a Praetor in some lists (even if he is, fluff-wise, meant to be a centurion).

 

 

ignore my very messy desk haha

Finally working on the opponents to my proto nova marines. 

When a black book gives you a paragraph mentioning alternative colour schemes for a legion you know I'm going to do it :D

I am reworking on some HSS lascannons and a Land Raider as well as new characters since they are all the hotness right now!

Below just a couple of pics and the rest in my WIP blog at the bottom.

A lot of great paintjobs guys! 

Well done.

 

I made the second step and base coated a couple of mine:

Militia infantry 

Warsmith

 

couple of rapiers

Bunch of Ogryns

Big chonks

A lot bigger than the old ones.

Lovely hobby everywhere Frater. Nice to see the Heresy love still strong regardless of 3rd contorversies.

 

@Brother KraskorSaturnine dread looks great in your scheme. Did you pick up just the dread or the full box set?

 

@GorgoffAre you building the Tormentor? Please tell me it's the Tormentor! I'm going to ignore the infantry and assume it's the Tormentor.
