Guard Fest - Day 2

Not much to report today, fairly simple just getting all the guard base coated and washed.

A process made much easier by the citadel sparey gun. I've also decided on a little challange for my self.
A.D. and I are travelling to nottingham a day early so i intend to buy my forgeworld commissars on that friday snd paint them ready for the saturday. there are two reasons for this 1) I love a speed painting challeng and 2) it's become a tradition that i be painting the night before a tourney.

more tomorrow where the basic 40 should have some detail done I hope.

Guard Fest - Day 1

 So this week sees me free of college, work and any other commitments and only a fortnight away from doubles with little to know work done on my guard.
The plan therefore is to finish all 750 points this week to a gaming standard then next week do my objective markers and a few fancy touches.

So on today. I had all the guard built and 90% sprayed but I A.D. has recently given me some of the "Cadian Hostile Environment" torsos, so with a little conversion I changed one squad of ten (and heavy weapons base) to have the torsos. It has led to me wanting the whoel force with them but time is of the essence.

The colour scheme is pretty basic,

1) Spray "Chaos Black"
2)Base coat "Adeptus Battle Grey"
3) Wash "Badab Black"
4) Drybrush the fatigues "Codex Grey"
5) Drybrush the fatigues "Fortress Grey"
6)Paint "Ice Blue" on to the tubing, "Tallarn Flesh" on to the hands and "Merchite Red" on to the lenses.
7)High lights and touch ups as needed









More tomorrow when day two is over

Dark Eldar Progress

Not my snappiest title I admit, but I have not been hobby idle, though alot of my free time has been taken up by Dark Heresy. Feel free to check out the groups progress here.

To the D-Eldar. So far I've built a battle force and my Incubi, and am awaiting a second battle force to pretty much finish the list, while I know you all know what Dark Eldar models look like I'm still going to show you a few but just my conversions.

We begin with my conversion for Duke Sliscus, The Serpent

 The conversions pretty basic, just a kit bash of an archon and the battle force with a few dark elf corsair pieces thrown in.

Next my Incubi Klaivex.

 

 

A bit more involved, I wanted the Incubi leader to have Demi Klaives, but theres no model for them so with a hand swap and some advice from my FLGS i manages it, just.

Finally for my true born/ My FLGS manager suggested I add corsair cloaks. So after 12 cuts and alot o swearing they all have them.

9 of these guys live with Sliscus armed with 2 splinter cannons, 2 blaster and 2 Shredders.

So hoping to get the first half sprayed later today so I can start showing you some painting :)
