Canoness Veridyan

Canoness Veridyan is the first Sister of Battle I have painted, and I painted her in the colours of the Order of Our Martyred Lady. I might paint some more Sisters, one day!

Fabius Bile and Retinue

This is Fabius Bile, the twisted former apothecary, and his retinue of enhanced Chaos Space Marines. Fabius was painted a long time ago, but I have touched him up a bit, repainted his armour, the chirugeon and needler.

The marines  are mostly the classic enhanced marines that you might recognise from back in the day. One, the aspiring champion, has a chirugeon backpack without the chirugeon arms.

This one is an Imperial space marine in Mk V armour, with Chaos arms and backpack.

This is a Slaaneshi marine, equipped with a plasma gun.

More Minotaurs...

I have made some more progress on some Minotaurs. I'm really pleased with these. I am so glad I chose Minotaurs to work on, as they look so good when they're painted! First is Captain Antenor. The writing on his cloak is Greek and says says "Glory" and "Death". The shield and head came from Shapeways. This is also my first time using adhesive tufts, from "war-painter" on eBay.

and here is Sternguard Veteran squad Thales. The legs are from the Vanguard Veteran kit, the pauldrons are from Forge World and a couple of the torsos are from Blood Angels Sanguinary guard. The squad is equipped with two grav guns, a grav pistol and two combi meltas. Lots of anti-armour!

Veteran Sergeant Thales

This model has been shown on the blog before - they were the first Minotaur I painted.

Doomrider! Yeehah!

I don't care what Games Workshop says; Doomrider is still alive! He is screeching across the battlefield to the sound of Judas Priest, with his terrifying visage striking fear into his enemies. His bike leaps over buildings and he slays the lackeys of the False Emperor with his daemon sword. 

A classic metal model, formerly languishing in my bitz box, finally brought to life in glorious technicolour. Enjoy (but not too much, lest ye fall to Slaanesh!)

Well, this was fun! I always take a look at the aquarium scenery in the shops when I see some, just in case there's something that could work as 40k scenery. Most of the time, things are the wrong scale or lacking in detail, but this time I struck lucky. For just under £5, I got this cool looking crashed aircraft. I bought it on Saturday, and by Sunday afternoon, I had repainted it and added some Imperial iconography. Now it's on my battlefield, ready to be fought around! Keep an eye out, and you never know what you may find in the high street!

Skaven Verminlord!

I have a little tradition now, it seems. Once a year, I make a pilgramage to Warhammer World, and bring home with me one interesting large model to build and paint. First it was an Imperial Knight, and last time it was this Verminlord. There was a beautiful example in the Age of Sigmar exhibition hall, and I decided to give the model a go myself. 

There are lots of interesting things on this model. There are various textures, such as skin/hair/armour/metal and so on, and the colours i used are not ones I had used a lot in the past. I gave the metal a purple wash and mixed a bluey green for the armour. The tail was a pain too, since I had to highlight each individual ridge!

I took my time with it, leaving it for periods while working on other, easier models, before coming back to this when I fancied it. I repainted the skin at one point as the original skin was not smooth enough in terms of colour blend.

It came out well in the end, and now it can go and live in my display cabinet!

This super-freaky fellow is a Chaos Spawn, made from one of the Greater Possessed in the Shadowspear box.
