Glory for the walking ash trays!

It is comparison and decision time for my Kaos Spesh Muhreens!

Here are the finalists.  As always, please ignore the horns.  They will have Rubicae heads in some form.

What is your personal opinion lads?  I do know they will look different all lined up next to others with that paint job.  They also will be on Egyptian bases from STP.

From left to right: Green + Incubi + Mixed Gold, Periscopes Blue + Sand, Periscopes Blue + Wash + Gold, Temple Guard Blue + Tin.

Russian stand off.
Or...does Nurgle say no!
End this foolishness mortal!


13th Company Wulfen

The latest batch of figures for Dan.  I am not a fan of painting on metal, as it almost seems porous compared to plastic.  Thankfully most are plastic now eh.

Thanks to Dan for even letting me paint these OOP models.  As usual mistakes made, but I would like to think, at least compared to my first models, that I am increasing (ever so slightly) in skill.  Hopefully they will not look out of place with the rest of his army.

PS.  The Citadel Technical Paint - Blood for the Blood God, is downright fantastic. 5/5

More Thousand Sons WIP

Yes, yes, I know.  Another different paint job.

Despite my original misgivings about the default Thousand Sons scheme, I find myself warming to it with each iteration of my troops.

Here is the latest WIP.  I intend on finishing this one, then getting opinions on all four variations lined up next to each other.

Regal as a ginga prince.

I do know it is rough.  It has a few layers of blue highlighting and shadows to go!  And of course the obligatory cleaning up.

Most recent updates of progress.  I am unsure about the red fabric at this point.  I did not want to go with the usual linen/cloth look because I thought it would take away from the bases.  I do know red is not a colour you are supposed to use with the blue, but I like to think that it is a nod to their pre-heresy scheme.

Ignore the horns!
Does this jetpack make my arse look big?

Finished Space Wolf Terminators

Here is the unit of Space Wolf Terminators on completion.

I would like to think they are some of the best models I have painted thus far.  I am aware now that the Army Painter Quick Shades are a crutch that I need to throw away.  I do like what they do in crevices and the like, but not the pool effects it can have on flat surfaces.  I am lucky Dan prefers used looking Spesh Muhreens.

Terminators "Atten-hut"
Yeah, we have got the ball carrier.  Try breaking through this block.
Captain/Champion/Hero, whatever the corpse god guys call a unit commander.  Includes the cloak he stole off Count Strahd von Zarovich.
