WIP: Six Necron Scarab bases

Having finished off April's Deathmark unit, I pledged to paint 6 Scarab bases. A nice and easy unit to paint which would hopefully leave me some spare time this month to paint some Black Legion. To make my life easier I painted the bases first, last thing I wanted to happen was my carefully painted Scarabs end up covered in GW Armageddon Dust texture paint. Read on on to find out how you can participate in the Tale of Mega painters project.

Showcase: Angron, Primarch of the World Eaters

Something special for you today - a whole Primarch! Even a quick glimpse at the palette of the model (or diorama rather) gives his identity away.

Showcase: Heresy-Era World Eaters Contemptor

As a quick little detour from Tzeentch daemons I started working on some commisisoned World Eaters. Maybe you remember the other parts of this army painted earlier. With the addition of a ton of Heresy-era stuff by Forgeworld of course this army needed some new additions. First, a third Contemptor!

Showcase: Two Great Eagles from the Hobbit.

One of the things I enjoy the most about the range Hobbit models is creating dynamic photos using a little bit of terrain and some mood lighting. What better way to share my recently finished Great Eagles then to set up a little treetop scene with Gandalf. More pictures after the jump.

WIP: Dark Eldar Scourges #8

I promise this will be the last WIP post about my Scourges, seriously ;) All good things must come to an end,  and all that is left to do know with those last two models of my unit of five Scourges is to paint the green glowing eyes, the green fluid containers and the bony parts. At the same time, I'm assembling and basecoating a Venom with my airbrush. This week I'm on vacation, so I'm going to spend some time at my parents' place. As usually, I'm going to take some models with me (and my PS3 to give my younger brother a good beating in Mortal Kombat lol), so I hope not only to finish the unit of Scourges this week, but also to get some good work done on the Venom. Cheers.

Review: iBooks Codex vs Hard Copy Codex

I collect all the Warhammer 40,000 Codices. I buy them as soon as they are released. I've been really really impressed by the sixth edition hardback books. The productions values are really high with embossing and spot uv (glossy areas). It just feels nice and it helps justify the £30 price tag a little more. Read on to find out if my first iBook codex can win me over.
