New project: Dark Angels - Tactical Squad №1

Hi everyone, 

In this post I would like to show you part of a new project. 

Some time ago I realized that I have to many Space Marines. I bought these models a lot of time ago and most of them were not connected with my current projects. They were just spare models. That is why I decided to collect them together in one big project. 

I had a lot of models from Dark Vengeance, so I decided to paint them in Dark Angels color scheme. I decided to start with the tactical squads. There were three tactical squads. For now I finished one of them and in this post I am going to show it to you. 

Let's start. 

First half of the squad.

And the second half.

New project: Daemons of Khorne

Hi everyone!

In this post I want to tell you about new project that I started some time before. It is connected with the Chaos Daemons, to be precise with the Daemons of Khorne.

In the beginning of autumn, I found out several boxes with Daemons of Khorne miniatures. I had Start Collecting - Daemons of Khorne box, Daemon prince and Bloodletters. Therefore, I decided not to wait any more and started to paint them. 

I chose Bloodletters as the beginning of this project. I have 20 miniatures of Bloodletters in total. Below in a few sentences I want to show the process of painting. 

I started with the swords, I airbrushed them in bronze separately from the miniatures.

After that, I glued models all together and cover swords with the plastic wrap. Then I airbrushed them in Khorne red.

Next step - I made highlights using airbrush with the mixture of Khorne red and Troll slayer orange.

After that, I washed models twice using Carroburg crimson.

For now that is all. I will show progress with these Bloodletters later.

New Project: Miniatures for Dark Heresy Game (Part 1)

Last weekend I've painted some miniatures for the order of a friend, who plays a not ordinary Warhammer 40k game: Dark Heresy. It is very exciting to perform this order because of unusual and interesting miniatures.

Firstly, I started this commission with helping (to order, pay for the miniatures, take it from the post office and so on). It was very boring, and I didn't like to run errands. Fortunately, I was quickly involved in painting. First 3 miniatures were photographed on my Iphone, 4-7 - by my camera, 8-by Platon's Iphone. That's why all of them are a bit different in style and detalization.
Also, we didn't decorate miniatures bases in this project, cause of customer wish to leave it black.

So...right now lets look what we have painted.

Adherent

From the first time, I didn't like this miniature. And the first thought was: Eeeew? Really? Smb askes me to paint this creepy fat guy?

But now I think, that it is pretty cool) Really interesting in working, small size and very good detalization. Now its my fave figure from the all.

The state of the photos are not as good as usual. It is sad, but there were no time to do photos by my canon at all.

Imperial guardian

We painted him together) (insignia and number are as always by me)

Brigand

I convert him from Dark Vengens cultist: cut off all the signs of chaos, modified the face and replaced iron stick in his left head with a backsword.

I like this miniature too, but I've got only 2 photos, because all other shots were in a bad quality.

Adepta Sororitas

Just very beautiful, elegant miniature which was pleasant to paint.

Tech-priest

(3 other miniatures were painted by Platon)

Psyker 

I like the combination of red and green on it. This green color is my favorite.

Cleric

He looks really cool with all his expression and dynamic stance. I like it not less than other miniatures.                
                                      

Assassin      

    

New project: Space Wolves

My Alpha Legion army is so far away from finishing. As for today, I have got only one squad which is fully ready, and I have got two squads that are half-ready. I really fond of my alphas painting scheme. But some time ago, I realized that it is a little bit boring. I think it is so, because I use only 2-3 paints. That’s why I decided to start something new. I thought about new alpha legion scheme, then about new legion, and then about new army.
Some time later I found in my box of bits space wolf squad. Firstly, I thought of making a wolf army of chaos. Then I changed my mind and decided to paint them in their classic painting scheme.

Why space wolves?
1) awesome bits;
2) a lot of unique characters;
3) good-looking painting scheme;
4) amazing codex;
5) a lot of variants of army organization.

So, here you are some photos of my first wolf
