Chaos Warriors, part II

Finally I've also had time to paint the last of my Chaos Warriors and give them a wash which has REALLY helped bring out the details...

(the top picture show the figures before washing for comparison)

As all 12 are now finally done, it's time to add the last finishing touch, highlights... I've already started on a selected few figures, but the technique (line highlights) is new to me and will require a bit of practice before the models are presentable...

P.s. Something the guides don't mention; washes stinks! So be sure to paint the miniatures somewhere well-ventilated:P

Chaos Hounds, back in black

I've also finally had some time to get started on my Chaos Hounds, which have all been prepped, glued and filled with liquid Green Stuff

These have also been primed with my Chaos Black spray paint and are now ready for further treatment...

Big Bucks

So a few months has passed since my last post, and quite a lot has happened in the meantime. Most importantly, my Phd-thesis is finally done and handed in, giving me back some precious spare time in which I can continue my painting...

I'll make a few different posts concerning the progress of my various projects, but thought I wanted to start of with a new one..

During my last visit to England I picked up to large and wonderful "Assault on Black Reach" Warhammer 40.000 starter pack!

This beauty contains a handy rulebook, dice and rulers etc and most importantly more than 40 miniatures split between two forces; Space Marines and Orks. While assembling and painting the entire set is going to take a LONG time, I've already played a few simple games with the unfinished models which I enjoyed very much.

As the squad of Tactical Space Marines are some of the most iconic Warhammer 40k miniatures, I decided to start with them.

After preparation and gluing, the 10 Space Marines are spray coated with Chaos Black to prime the figures.

In parallel with the tactical squad I have started on the 20 Ork Boyz, prepping and gluing as I go along...

I have yet to decide on the Chapter (and hence colour) of the Space Marines, and will properly put this project on hold when the Orks are done and finish up some of my other projects first...
