Something from the past (Part 2)

As I said before I'm interested in Warhammer for a few years. And I started with Word Bearers. I still fond of this painring scheme. But now this small army looks boring and painted not so good. My Alpha legion warriors painted much better. Moreover, there are a lot of miniatures which have unfinished bases. This is a big minus. One day I will return to them...

Here are photos of my small army. It costs a little more than 1000 points.

This one was not painted by me. It was painted for me by my friend. That's why colors differ a little.

Alpha Legion: Agents (Part2)

Another agent is fully ready. Three of ten are ready, seven - left.





There are no hole in daemonic head on the heavy bolter, it is so because I don't have such a big drill to make it.

And some details.

In addition, here are some WIP photos of my chaos lord.


It is old miniature, I bought it several years ago. At first, it was painted in Word Bearers color scheme. But as time passed, I realized that it was painted not so good and I decided to repaint it. And now I am going to paint him in Alpha Legion scheme. He is made of  metal. This lord have some problems with casting. For example, hands do not fit the body, so I have to use green stuff to fix it. However, generally, this miniature looks good. I hope I can paint it fast.

Space Wolves: Grey hunters (Part 1)

My summer holidays started two weeks ago, so now I have spare time, which I can spent on painting miniatures. During last two weeks, I finished half of my grey hunters squad. And here are photos. 
Some more words about painting scheme. I tried to pick up such a color scheme that would be interesting to paint. As I wrote before, I want make them colorful, to use as many colors as I could. So here it is, painting scheme that I chose. Grey armor. It is not my own idea, I saw such armor painting scheme on several blogs and it looks great. I like it more than Space Wolves "official" color. Their armor color that shown in their codex is quite boring. Moreover, it is easy to paint and to highlight grey armor. Bronze and metal details. It looks good when dark armor is combined with metal and bronze details. Miniature looks richer. So I use metallics to paint different details. Scratches and abrasions. They make armor more realistic and miniature more live.
Right shoulder and knee pads was painted in red with black spikes to show that this squad belongs to grey hunters. And left shoulder and knee pads was painted in red to show that this squad belongs to Harald Deathwolf company. In addition, I added some runes instead of Harold company's symbol, as it is too complex for me to draw it.
P.S. It was my first and second try to paint head without helmet. Snow still looks cheap.

Sergeant - Eric the Red Beard (2nd). To distinguish him from others I wrote his name on the base.
