Tymell's assorted backlog

[Tymell]

Like many, I have a pretty substantial backlog of models I need to get to, whether it's something new and unpainted or something older I'm hoping to do better than I did when I was 13 (fingers crossed). I have a bunch up in the apartment with me, and I don't even want to think about how many I have in boxes in the basement...

 

Anywho, I've finally started to get back into painting again after a long hiatus, and thought I'd share some of the results here as I go, partly to keep me motivated to keep going!

 

Inspired by the recent World Eaters codex, I've been returning to one of my first 40k loves, the XIIth. I did some kitbashing recently with Terminators, Raptors, AoS Blood Warriors, Wrathmongers and the new Berzerker models, which was great fun. The Berzerkers and converted World Eater jump troops are still on the way, but I'm pretty pleased with the entirely melee-focused Red Butcher Termies (still disappointed the codex didn't make those official) and accompanying Forgefiend:

 

 

 

 

I particularly like how the giant Berzerker chainaxe looks with these guys:

 

 

And this lad models himself after a Bloodthirster, complete with a double-headed Blood Warrior axe and a Wrathmonger flail:

 

 

I'm no painting master and never have been, but I'm still pretty pleased with how they came out 

 

Next up I think I'll turn to that Deff Dread I've got sitting unpainted, done up Deathskull style...

I'm always a sucker for some great World Eaters, and these are no exception

 

Considering these are your warm-up "just getting back into it" models, I can't wait to see what you bring to us once your fully warmed up.

Thanks! I'm pleased with how they came out. When I get round to some of my outstanding Skaven models I'm planning to do the same thing, but with the bottom part painted bright warpstoney green instead of red & orange
