Dreadnought WIP begins!

I'm on a mad tear trying to finish up these models, and the next one up to get the paint is this AOBR style dreadnaught (bad lighting photography ahoy!)



These guys are smaller than thier regular boxed brothers, but thats not stopping me from modifying this joker. I have cut the bolter off the fist arm and plan to attack a flamer instead. Hell I may magnetize both so I can swap them out (photo taken earlier).



I also got this joker basecoated up so it'll hopefully be next real soon!

The Sharks are back after a super long hiatus! Two rhinos have gotten thier teeth and are ready to roll out!





Also completed those crappy AOBR style terminators:









So far I got the following left to do:

Paint 1x landspeeder
Paint 1x AOBR dreadnaught
Paint 1x attack bike
Paint 1x command squad
Paint 1x librarian to lead all this stuff
Assemble and paint 1x rhino
Assemble and paint 1x landraider
Assemble and paint 2x bikes

So yeah, things are winding down for the sharks. I'm sure I'll add more units but I want to finish these up and get cracking on my Black Templars for a while. I'm going to do my best to at least get most of this stuff basecoated by Sunday . More to come (and hopefully alot faster!

...and that hiatus was longer than expected!

Been really busy w/ work and life in general these days since the last update. I am still working on the terminators, doing what I can when I can. I have decided on the red n' grey scheme because I had already based coated them in this scheme and I'm too lazy to turn back ;) I've got two figures completed for the most part just need to finish up the bases and then finish the rest.



not exactly the best photo, but it'll do. After I complete these guys and finish up the rhinos I'll be giving my Black Templars some attention.

More to come (hopefully soon!)

Terminator WIP begins!

Well the terminators WIP begain late yesterday and is ongoing. Instead of assembly line painting them like I basecoated them, I took one model out and plan to finish it to see if I like the color scheme and basework that I have in mind. Here's a few pics of the progress, it's nowhere near finished:



The helmet is pretty much done along with the powerfist except for some highlights on the metal bits and touch-up. The rest is basecoated and the base is obviously bare at the moment. The limbs are magnetized like I did some of my Black Templars as well. I can't think of a color to paint the stormbolters casing, so any ideas on that please let me know. I plan to finish this guy up sometime this week if time permits.

Here he is assembled:








And my little dog keeping watch for any stray bits that fall from my desk so he can chew on them!


Thanks for looking!

Rhino complete (well almost)

Rhino is pretty much complete paintjob-wise, just needs some dirt weathering to match my minis. These photos arent the best (I've been saying that alot lately) but I really hope to get them all outside for the lighting soon.









Thanks for looking! Terminators are next!

Greeeey Kniggghttsss!... wait, what?!

picked these up at the local gamestore on discount:



not abandoning the sharks or bandwagon jumping, I just figured it was too good a deal to pass up (plus I think the old metal ones look better!) I'll get to these guys eventually.

I'll be back to finishing up the Rhino and those poor terminators as soon as I finish this here Black n' Tan!


Happy St. Patricks's Day!

Rhino details: to add "eyes" or not?

I'm debating on adding eyes to the mouth n' teeth on my rhino. Think of the A-10 nose art:



I got a spare rhino side I use to test junk out before applying it to the real model. What do you think of eyes being added?





I need feed back on this, so help me out - Yay or Nay?
