Lemartes-done for the time being

More as a chaplain than himself, if you know what I mean.









He did win the comp, but a somewhat hollow victory as I was the only entrant.
Painted in one night, so forgive the roughness, he'll be cleaned up once I bring him home.

As to the model for this months comp, several people have suggested I boycott it due to the ubnpopularity of the new manager and the restrictive rules of the comp, but I'm quite drawn to the bundle of free stuff, even if I don't know what it is yet.

So the model for this month, I had decided on the Empire Captain with Hammer and Pistol (This guy) but the full timer has asked me to find a mini that's available in store instead; slightly difficult due to most of the nice character minis being order only now!

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Oh and the goblin test mini is currently in production.


Any questions/comments welcome.

Cheers

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.

Finished Neophytes

These were an experiment in speed painting, so they're only done to an apoc army standard. Let me know what you think.











I know the bases are iffy, I was told as much within 2 mins of putting them on astronomicon. They will end up closer to the ECs, but I'm short on Badab and energy.

At least they are now legal, being as the base isn't bare.

C&C?

I have pics of other projects, but it's late and I'm tired so G'nite.

Cheers

PS Normal standard of painting will be resumed soon.
