Rise up, minions of Chaos!

Dark Apostle Taroth has come to convert you to Chaos! My friend, Martin very kindly sent me this Dark Apostle. He only wanted the dark disciples, so he parcelled up the Apostle with some other bitz and sent it from Germany to the UK, and I have now finished painting it. It's sure better than my previous apostle, who looks pretty goofy. Taroth will join my Black Legion force and be responsible for riling up all the lovely cultists in the army. He's unconverted, but I repositioned his head, inspired by another model online that I thought looked better with the head facing forwards.

Crushed by the tracks of the space marines

Things are starting to ramp up again, and I've finished my Minotaurs Land Raider! So far, the Minotaurs consist of one Terminator and one Sternguard Veteran, and now this Land Raider! This is one I bought off eBay, already built, for quite a reasonable price. Unlike a lot of the 2nd hand vehicles on eBay, this one was not painted with a thick layer of awful paint! This was just sprayed black. I added the Minotaurs icons (from ShapeWays) and painted it up. Once again, the bronze was quite tricky, but I got there in the end. 

I'm really looking forward to painting more Minotaurs now. The army is going to look great once it starts actually, you know, being an army!

The Grey

Hello!
I'm back! Sorry I've been away... I actually started a new relationship and it's quite a distraction from painting!
However, I managed to finish a squad of... drum roll... Grey Hunters!
"Ooh... aah."

These are mostly models given to me by a friend and I have repainted them, along with building a few more models using some old metal bodies I had. Space Wolves are quite an interesting colour scheme. The grey is very easy to do, but the yellow... damn, you need a lot of layers, and if you get any black or grey on it, you have to go go over that with white then lots of yellow. Very time consuming! I'll be making about three squads of Space Wolves, based on what bits I have laying around: these, a squad of Blood Claws and some Wolf Scouts, along with a Wolf Lord. 


Leviathan Dreadnought

Today's mini is a humble Leviathan Dreadnought. This is one of the Forge World ones, which I bought just before the plastic one came out...
