The Great, Perpetual Work

[Casual Heresy]

Hadn’t realised it had been so long since I updated this. I want to try and do so more regularly in the new year. 
 

Winter has been a wee bit of a write off for building and painting with only some small bits here and there. But now enjoying the post Christmas lull and some time to do what I want. 
 

I’m at my parents just now but brought some stuff with me. Today’s offering is an ‘Iron Captain’ for an Iron Hands project I’m starting. I need two Techmarines for the list and an easy way to tell them apart due to enhancements. So a dive into the bitzbox for the Primaris Captain body and a wee order from BitzBox and we’re good to go. Love it when a kitbash goes off without a hitch.

He looks very Iron Handsy

New year, new reasons to forget to post!

 

As well as building various units which I'll remember to photograph later, I actually got some paint on models. Below is the start of my first Covenant of Fire unit for @Brother Argent's March for March challenge. They is the start of my learning the secrets of slapchop. I detest the name but it's set to become a useful way to get models painted in quantity.

 

 

Up next is getting the rest of these models done to nail down the rest of the scheme, then it's on to more infernus marines!

[Firedrake Cordova]

Quite a striking scheme.  

 

What colour are the weapons going to be?

[Casual Heresy]

Thank you!

 

Weapon casings will be black to match the official artwork, but goinf metallic black to differentiate from the black armour. I think I'll be trying a heat bloom effect on the pyreblaster barrels as well.

Ah, I didn't realise they were an official chapter!  

 

Having the bolters as a metallic black/gunmetal to contrast with the arms sounds like a good idea.  

 

Scorch marks on flame weapons is a classic for a reason

I'm a simple man... I see a techmarine or warpsmith conversion =  I press like ^^

Awesome project log btw

Nice conversions and paintjobs! Neat preacher kitbash in particular.
