Paint it Black

 

Its been a long time since I've posted anything on here...  So here's what I've been up to...   PAINTING BLACK!

Yellow - Nightmare or Challenge?



I've heard horror stories of painting white, red and yellow power armor and I wonder if it has nothing to do with the painting method or even the colors themselves, but the sheer amount of negative area on a regular space marine?  I'm about to find out.  A lot of folks like me that like the hobby and the game in equal measure are really torn when it comes to complicated paint schemes; on one hand I want to have awesome and masterfully painted models, and on the other I want to get those models on the table as soon as possible.

Lysander WIP

 

I was really impressed with the Asterion Moloc forgeworld model but who wants to build and paint a whole minotaurs army?  wierd!  After I wore down the minotaur icons with my file, greenstuffed up some really obvious mino references and applied some copper Imperial Fist icons, the model was ol captn' lysander!  I've got some work to do on his base; I'm going to file and greenstuff up the ground behind his back leg and make him a bit more dynamic and less "suspended"looking.

The Wrath of Khan

Hello everyone! When the 5th edtion space marine book came out, one page in the codex stood out to me more than all the others. That page is Kor'sarro Khan's in the character section.  While everyone was drooling over vulkan and lysander, I loved the thought of the new space marine biker army adorned with crazy space-mongol mustaches and waving bolt pistols and chainswords as they wildly crashed into the enemy's flanks!
