Finished marines

Been longer than intended, sorry about that.

Anyway, the other half of the giant crusader squad, the Initiates:

The whole unit, impressive aint it? Atleast from a distance.




His eye is a bit off, but being as this is only a low-middle gaming standard I'm really not bothered enough to change it.


The other stuff I've been working on since I last updated, chaplain:



Second attempt at his leg, bionics and artificer style armour.


Another missile launcher armed marine for the two fire support squads, the second of which I am now painting.


The reason for my unreliable blogging:

Pulled this off the base of one of the dreads, proof that old Papa Nurgle had an eye on me.


So anybody got any suggestions or comments?

I'd like to keep up the stream of comments recently, it's been great, thank you.
(and I'm not being sarcastic either)

Cheers and thanks for reading

Edit Thought I'd add in that I've got my models back from the store now, so you'll be getting pics of the winning models in the next few days. I've also been cleaning goblins, masses of goblins. I will be able to do that army even if it's not to 2k.

Templars and another dread

So I managed to find some pics of the dread before it was painted, wasn't sure I'd taken any, so enjoy and please someone leave a comment, I dare you!

You'll have to scroll down a bit to see the fully assembled and converted model.
















I've also done another quick unit, this one for fire support:




The bolters haven't been done yet if you were wondering.

I quite like my way of doing eyes, admittedly it's a little odd compared to the GW version, but I'm not too keen on lenses with reflection, no inner light. Whereas with these it's space wolves grey then skull white so it does stand out but not to the extremity of those that are painted to be glowing, which are a bit much imho.

I've been playing around with skin colours and washes tonight, might get a pic up for you later.

Cheers

Finished Black Reach Dread conversion and Blog Thoughts

I read somewhere recently, on a blog I do believe, that blog rolls may not be the best thing for increasing the followers of the blogs that are on the roll and that they can replace subscription. All I can say to that is:



I am now a follower.

On another note, I finished my conversion of the Black Reach Dread last night, here're a few pics:





I've got the pics for a tutorial, so I'll do that soon, snooker final for the moment.


All comments most welcome.
Cheers
