Shiny little so and sos

 I just discovered this photo from a couple of months ago and thought it was worth sharing, despite not having my usual photoshop touch.

This is a Vanguard Veteran squad for my Minotaurs. There is a variety of models here, all converted, from different eras, all brought together to make an elite-looking unit of the Emperor's finest!

Back from the breach

Hey readers! I'm back. Sorry about the break. I hadn't been doing a lot of painting for a while. Where I had done, it was on a model here or there in a really basic standard and I didn't really feel like posting them on here. They wouldn't have been interesting to look at!

But I'm back into the swing of modelling and painting, and specifically, trying to paint nice models to a high standard again.

Something that really motivated me was picking up this wonderful 3D print of Blade, from Etsy. Unfortunately I can't share a link as Etsy didn't save my order in my account and I can't find the item again! It's a really good render of Blade, with a high quality print, and it was nice to paint something a little different. It's amazing how different something like this can be compared to almost any Games Workshop model, with a different way of sculpting details and creating shapes. I got a Riddick from the same seller, so expect to see him soon.  

The model came with an integral base that was quite small and low-profile, which made it difficult to put a magnet under it, so I put him onto a larger Warhammer-style base, and added some battlefield basing material. This will make him fit in nicely if I make some rules for him and field him in a 40k battle... just for a laugh!

 

Just an upshot to show you what I did with the inside of his coat. You know I love blending with red, so of course I enjoyed doing this!
