Imperial Warhost Annual Update 2020

Another new year, and another chance to review my collection of miniatures. I've built and painted a fair amount of stuff this year across all the different factions I collect, including the Imperium. Some Imperial units I've finished are: 

Black Templars Crusader squad and Captain;

two squads of Space Wolves, a Razorback and a Wolf Lord - there are more Space Wolves to come;

an entire Blood Angels army! This retro force came together in order to make use of a lot of slightly ropey looking 2nd ed monopose marines, but I really got into the retro feel, even searching out a special edition Captain and an OOP rhino to complete the look. I think the model I like the most is actually the Chaplain on bike. I don't have many Chaplains, that model had been gathering dust in a box for a while, and I did a good paintjob on it;

some Minotaurs. This project is my new favourite project, and I'm really enjoying the challenge of trying to do something I haven't done before with space marines. I'm trying to use units I've not used before and convert the models, and the army will eventually include a Thunderhawk. The Thunderhawk is in the building stage now. I painted some interior sections and have bought some tools to put it together, so it should progress nicely this year.

and of course, Roboute Guilliman! That was a great model to work on. I get highly motivated to paint big models and characters, and I had a lot of fun doing blending on his blue armour. 

I included the Valkyrie in the collection, as, although the Wings of Vrayax have seceded from the Imperium, the Valkyrie is technically an Imperial model and... well... it looks cool at the back there, doesn't it!
















I also made a video of the collection, set to some stirring music:

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...
