Forge World Blight Drone & Noise marines & WIP

Hi People,

Bit of a update with what I've been up to recently, Its been a productive Month so far to be honest!

So since I pumped out the firestorm armada I've been like a mad man on an illegal class A! ( and for those who have lead a sheltered life then drugs are bad! so well done)

So onto the production line....

The Blight Drone that I picked up from the forge world open day, not I've used the same techinque as the death guard and tried to make it look a bit more "battered" than the average death guard model,

Close up of the business end of the drone!

Close up of the fans

The second noise marine squad done, I've tried to match the paint scheme to the test squad,

And the WIP the third squad of noise marines on the table and ready for the purple ink before the detail of the gold and the like!

Now this chap is going to be my next HQ I'm getting a a bit bored of running with Typhus and I'm sure the guys that I play against would like to see someone else to blow the be-jesus out of, But thanks to Dustin I've discovered that Abbaddon is immune to instant death but not to getting there souls sucked out by a force weapon, but hey there you go you carn't everything!!

So comment's as usual please,

Thanks Ant!!

One Dindrenzi Fleet Done!

Well I've managed to get the firestorm armada fleet that I picked up a couple of weeks ago finished, so I'll let my pictures do the talking....

And there you go...

I've gone for a dirty looking fleet that is based on the paint scheme on the main rule book, its not going to get me any painting awards but they look good enough for table top standard.

Nurgle daemon prince finished? No Way!

Hey up guys & gals hope your all good today!

So I decided to pop an update up before Spencer started giveing me "those" looks!


I've been cracking on with the firestorm armada ships, the crusiers are done and the captial ship is coming along nicely, once I've got the captial ship done I'll get some pictues posted up.

So I've finally got the nurgle daemon price finished that the guys from the club got me as I stepped down as chairman after 7 enjoyable years, now I've been doing this on and off for the last couple of months I wasn't too sure how to tackle him as its a really cool model and I didn't want to fuck it up, so after some thinking I decided to finish him off and start using him on the table, the bit that took the longest was sourcing a base for him!

The normal 40mm base was way too small so trying to find a dreadnought size base was a right pain in the arse, so I used a flying base! the curve of the base made no differance as he was posed with his legs,

The actual painting of the model was done the same as the death guard and the plague bearers so that it kept in with the theme,

Ta Da!

close up on the sword I could have spent ages on that but decided I wanted it dirty and bloody!

I was impressed by the sculpting on his back, really liked the detail, I'm thinking of putting a bank of jump packs from the new blood angel golden boy nipple squad, and strapping them togeather like a huge clump, bang some magnet love on there and the jobs a good un!

upper body,

Right arm detail  the fly is built into the wrist and is quite cool,

So there it is, only 2 models away from "finishing" my death guard, but I did pick up a blight drone at the forge world open day and as they are at Salute at the end of this month I'm looking to get some extra armour and nurgle doors and emperors children or world eaters doors for a couple more rhinos for the masses.

So will the legion finally be finished?  no bloody chance! with the rumors that I'm getting from a fairly decent source we should be looking at a new chaos codex end of this year start of next year maybe and they sound filthy! all I want personally is eternal warrior of the named heros and 2 firepoints from the rhinos and I'd be happy with that!!
 
Whilst I was waiting for the base to dry I managed to crank these out as well,

These are for a game called uncharted seas, and these are the iron dwarves newest invention the submarine, now these were dead easy and I've had them sitting around for ages so was glad to finally get them done!

any way I'm off to cook dinner via MacDonalds so cheers for reading and feel free to leave any comments below,


thanks,

Month end update March,

Well where did that bloody month go!!

in the last few days since the forge world open day trip I've managed to paint some of the firestorm armada fleet that I got last week after blasting out the test model,

I always get people asking me how do I manage to paint stuff so quick, well music calms the savage beast, in my case its stuff like this... boom boom boom tisk tisk that gives me my pace ;) 
 
So the 6 Frigates....

I've not decided on squadron marks at the moment, I might just mark up the bases?

Anyway onto the carrier how this was quite a lot of expermentation I tried to get the "white" ship look but also the weathered look but like the enterprise but with a grimy look, now the front of the rule book has the following art so thats what I've based my fleet colour scheme on...

now I've used a watered down black GW wash to create the streaky look, and I'm quite pleased with it, a fairly simple technique and 2 foot away look nice on the table top,

A close up of the huge flat area that I'm assuming makes up the landing deck? who knows lol

any way on to the "pledge"......

so quarter 1 summary,
               Bought    Painted  Differance
Jan             41           58          +17

Feb            22           16          -6

March        22           30          +8

so going quite well me thinks!

Comments welcome as always,

Cheers,

Forge World Open day pic's (lots of pic's big post!)

As your warning this is a big post, go for a wee now....


So thinking I'd be crippled after a day of airsoft I was surprised to find my legs were still functioning so I wandered over to Lenton for the forgeworld open day, and boy it was busy!

Loads of cool stuff however bad news if like me your waiting for them to show some love to Tzeentch or Slannesh its not going to be happening for a while!! i.e. the chap who runs the development team ( a nice American bloke) told me this but if your an ork player or a loyal marine player then your gonna love it! 

But before that...

My first squad of emperors children are done painted to the colour scheme that won the poll

I also did the usual test model for the firestorm armada fleet,

So onto the forgeworld pics...

This is a mock up of what they are looking at doing, and intrestingly enough with the titans the actually make them bigger than they should be to fit in with the vechicles as they are oversized (but we knew that anyway!)

and the expression on Ross face was golden!

And some up and coming raven guard stuff, great if your a loyalist scum lover ;)

But then again.... Pre-Heresy.... Ummm.....

Some bloke with a jump pack

Some cool looking bits for the stompa kit.....

Now the lifta droppa on the left is for a battlewagon, Kult of speed anybody??

Mega dread variants

Some Tau Battle suits that sent Spencer over the edge and he frothed about these for ages!!

Then I found some more orky stuff, this did make me smile....

So now we can really play a scenrio called "Black 'ork Down" I might nickname this super six four.

 And now onto the tables....

A huge titan battle that was going to be played, A shag load of stompas on one side

Verses a shag load of imperial on the other side!

And they were nicely painted!!

The "mastercard" moment!

A siege of bla bla bla table,

The table was that big I had to use max zoom for some pic's and are a little whobbly...

Still carn't decide if I like this, something missing for me...

Putting is simply, yup I'll have it!

An orky style table that took my eye....

So over all the day was pretty good, some luck chap won a Reaver titan from the raffle with all the cash going to children in need, and some guys were dropping up to £20 on tickets!

A little dissapointed that the chaos is off the radar for the time being and the Orks (which do need it) are getting some nice treatment, but to do the Raven guard as well, I think the amount of marine players out there will get quite excited but for me I'm not...

Any comments welcome as always cheers,
