Horus Heresy 30k Vlka Fenryka Venerable Leviathan Dreadnought #15

Work begins on Señor Snippy Claw, this time I started with the blue color graduation on the claws. You can see a bit of speckling from the lighter colours, however I am not overly concerned as it gives the claw more of a feeling that the power is surging to the tips. That being said I will still have to come back in and edge highlight the claw.


 Just a heads up on my recipe for the blue graduation.
  1. VGA Imperial Blue - Base
  2. VMC Turquoise - First graduation
  3. VGA Electric Blue - Second Graduation
  4. VGA Wolf Grey - Final Graduation

 And this is what it looks like on a Dark Angels Power mace.


 And I also got a chance to start work on the shoulder fur.

So when I paint fur I start out with a base of VGA Bonewhite, then I start graduations of Black ink then Sepia ink. Here is how it looks at the first stage.


 More to come.

Horus Heresy 30k Sisters of Silence #1

Burning of Prospero has dropped, so I got stuck into putting together a Vigilator squad armed with greatswords. I did make one little tweak to my squad though, as I wasn't quick enamored with the helmets/heads supplied with the miniatures. My thought would be that the Vigilators would all be nondescript Sisters with full face helmets, with the squad leader having a more ornate helmet. I will go through my recipe for their armor if they turn out. Let's just say this group is still on trial.

All your base ? - General Ramblings #6

  Have you ever had a situation, when you didn't have a base on hand, and you couldn't remember the dimension, or you were making a multi base slot and couldn't work out which base you could fit on the base ? Well most of you, in this hobby, may have hit this on the most rarest of occasions. Like I did recently. After a few minutes of searching for what base was what size, I decided to make a little visio mock-up  to work out what bases would fit inside existing larger bases, so I could make a cinematic base for three models that would make up my Logan Grimnar conversion. Here is what I came up with, so I wouldn't have to go hunting again, in to the future. So you may be asking, "what do I need this for? " As you know I am working on Grimnar and "Stormrider", where I want to model the mounted Grimnar with his two Thunderwolf buddies. The kicker is I want to be able to separate out any/either model from the base, if and when they die. B

Horus Heresy Characters - Master of Mankind - The God Emperor of Mankind #3

Yes, I am back, it's been a while. And this time around, I got a chance to do a bit of a do-over on my Master of Mankind, the Emperor. You'll remember where I had left of on this model (See below). Whilst it was a fun conversion, I just didn't feel it captured the essence of the Emperor.   So when the new Roboute Guilliman (aka Row-boat Girly-man) was released I knew I just had to make the conversion. The basis of the Guilliman is truly a pretty model. Lots of detail. So what could I alter to make him look like the Emperor? Well, I focused on the areas of the highest detail, which could be re-constructed: Halo Shoulder Pad Power Claw Baltea (hanging leather waist straps) So starting with the Power Claw, I used a jewelers saw to cut the hand from the arm. This will enable me to re-position the hand into a position were it appears that the Emperor is conjuring. I then re-cast some claws from the ForgeWorld Resin Kor Phaeron miniature and attache
