Dodge's Current Blood Angel Force

A photo of "most" of my Blood Angel stuff lined up parade style. Missing is Mephiston (being repainted for the 4th time I think now), Corbulo ( about to start his 3rd paint scheme) and a few other bits and pieces that are in the process of being redone or finished.

Light tent on its way!

After looking back through some of my photos I have decided that my photography really isn't doing the final results justice. I had intended to make my own light tent but time and effort amongst so many projects on the bench has mean't that I have never really progressed forward with it. The tents I had seen online where all way over the budget I had to invest in one. However after a chat at my FLGS last night, one of the players http://ianjwood.com/ pointed me towards amazon where I could get one for a tenner! Don't know why I never looked there before to be honest, anyway thanks to amazon free delivery it should be here early next week and I can start taking some decent pictures.

Watch this space!

I have decided to dip my toe into the warmahordes scene at my LFGS. In that spirit and based on no other criteria other than I love the models I have decided to play Trollbloods.

Quick Deathwing Land Raider piccy

Stoopid iPhone didn't want to focus very well. Only a couple of layers of weathering to go on. About 10 minutes worth of work and they are done.

Forgeworld Warhound Titan and Deathwing Land Raider

A mate at my FLGS http://www.ironhavengames.co.uk/ asked me to do the ground work on his Forgeworld Warhound Titan. The request was to prime the model and get the main colour down and the rest sprayed boltgun metal so he can finish it off. Firstly I love this model, been a fan of Forge World for ages and this is the first titan I have managed to get my hands on. Anyway here is the pic of it pretty much finished in terms of the amount of work I have been asked to do on it. There are a few spots in the finish I need to redo where the primer hasn't bonded with the resin and has lifted.

Next up is the second of the two land raiders I have been working on for another friend.It has been varnished and given a sepia wash in the recesses. Just need to figure out the best way of assembling it so it can be swapped between a crusader and redeemer. Oh and it needs to be weathered as well. Hopefully shouldn't take too long.

Deathwing LandRaiders

A mate of mine has commissioned me to do a couple of Deathwing Land Raiders. Here are some WiP pics taken with my shiny new iPhone 4S (camera is definitely improved but the flash ain't great as you can see.)

The main colour and panel highlighting has gone down as well as some green area effect at the front which has also been panel filled. I've done this as I think an all bone coloured Land Raider risks looking a little bit flat. I have taken a couple of bits of Dark Angel iconography from the Ravenwing box set upgrade sprues and am painting that up separately to go on some of the doors. Then the deathwing decals will go on from the Space Marine Vehicle decal set. Then the whole thing sealed with satin varnish and then weathered in the panel lines and around the rivets etc with a sepia-ish wash. Then some light weathering and she will be done. I fear too much weathering on it will look too brown given the model colour so I will probably go quite lightly on it.
