Completed
Models
This
started out as a test model for my Genestealer Cults army and in the
painting it sort of became something a little more. On the one hand I
absolutely do want an Imperial Guard/PDF contingent for the Cults but
I have also been trying to get around to doing a proper Guard army
for years. So, with a little extra clipping and filing on the
Genestealer Cults upgrade components this will be not only a part of
my Cults army but also a Savlar Chem-Dogs army in its own right.
Also,
I tried a Mournfang Brown rim on the base this time which works a lot
better than the Rhinox Hide I used on the Familiars.
The
model affectionately known in the gaming group as “Herbie the
Loathe Bug” is finally finished. I really like how the green came
off on the larger panels and I'm thinking of doing more vehicles /
daemon engines in the army once I have a few more infantry models
polished off.
A
nice big group of Termagants, the largest unit I've finished for Hive
Fleet Jormungandr so far. I'm happy to say the colour scheme
continues to work well even if it isn't as time saving as I'd
initially hoped.
The
big fellow was a lot of fun to paint and I feel indebted to the eBay
seller not only for posing it perfectly but giving it the right head
to use as a Screamer-Killer, which is my favourite kind of Carnifex.
It came primed so, sadly, a few bits of flash escaped notice until I
was painting it but its not too noticeable IRL.
And,
finally, a trio of Venomthropes who were an absolute joy to paint
once I stopped overthinking them. I kept trying to find something
extra and special to paint differently to pick them out but the
beauty of Tyranids is in having a huge horde of different creatures
in uniform colours so in the end I just blanketly applied the same
methods as on the rest of the army and I think they came out
beautifully.
Work in
Progress
Not
much more progress on the Marshal since Sunday, really just getting
the inks applied to the metallics. I'm still rather mulling over what
to do with the leather loincloth.
There
are still a lot of fiddly details yet to finished on the Goliath test
model and I only started the base because I was painting some other
things Leadbelcher at the same time.
I
want to say “these are close to done and I'll probably start the
basing in a session or two” but these models are an absolute
nightmare for noticing yet more hidden details just when you think
you've actually finished one. Still, they're coming along.
The
Genestealer Cults Magos is progressing, even if I will have to go
back over some of thatr highlighting to tidy it up, the middle
section of the model's body not being the most accessible of areas.
Whilst
his friend the Patriarch finally has some large block colour painted.
Next step will be the carapace, which will take a few layers since I
went with grey undercoat for this one. I also find myself giving more
thought than I perhaps need to about which Space Marine chapter the
various helmets scattered around the model will be painted as.
And,
finally, a small group of eight Termagants I got off eBay in a job
lot with a bunch of other little gribblers. I started with these
because it means I'll have a nice large block of twenty Termagants to
set down on the table (or for the Tervigon to shart out over a couple
of turns).
