Angelic Host Day 3 : Furious Angels

Yet another work day passed and resulted in even more progress on BA SG Standard Bearer. Only wings and small details left to do ;)) I really like how power sword came out , how it breaks down colour scheme of the model.

And music piece suitable for Blood Angels ;)

Angelic Host Day 2 : Send me and angel

So...Another day passed and I'm one step closer to finishing that Standard Bearer. If everything goes to plan I'll finish him today ;)


And suitable music I guess is a piece by Scorpions :

Angelic Host Day 1 : Iron man

Yesterday I had a bit of time, so after preparing for a meeting with a client I decided to dust my set of Sanguinary Guard I purchased last year, so far I've only finished one...in may :) Now I'm getting back to that glorious minis, again refreshing my NMM skills (which still are long way before they are in decent shape).

This time it's standard bearer with power sword. For now I've finished main metallic parts and will now move to standard. Any suggestions are apprecieted ;)

And as title suggest let's dig out some classic piece of rock by Ozzy ;)

Iron Horse

Another week has passed, another parts finished. Today I present you revised version of Rhino and first Land Raider. Rhino is first of my minis painted completely with airbrush and I'm quite found of effect, especially white parts. Land Raider is presented in Redeemer version, but other sponsons are just on the des ;) I've chosen that for pics sake only. I'm waiting for go ahead light and will finish second LR painted also with airbrush only. As you might see LR still needs last touch on tracks which have not yet been aproprietly scraped of mud ;)

Rhino







Land Raider






And for music corner, suitable, I guess piece by Motorhead ;)

Tools of Trade

I've recently bought some additions to my workbench - two new Army Painter brushes and one spray. So far I've only used black and white primers. Now, since I have several dozens of orcs that await painting i decided to try a brown one. I tried it on half-trolls. i started with a solid layer of black (sprayed them and added black into the recesses with a brush) and lightly sprayed them with brown primer. Not only will it make painting them faster, but also more efficient - by doing so I've already done some very basic highlighting.
As far as the brushes are concerned I still have to try them out. I'm enjoying a two week semester break right now and will be back home next week so it will have to wait until then.
And since this post is devoted to tools, I could think of no other band for the music corner.

Air(brush)borne

Lately I bought an airbrush and mini air compressor (suitable for modelling purposes small 4 BAR unit). I figured it would make it easier to paint some of 40k models plus I'll save on spray basecoats. Yesterday I finally had time to set it up and let the fun begin. First on the agenda is Land Raider and Rhino (the same I did earlier, client didn't like it so I had to strip it from paint). So so far I just secured with paper tape and Humbrol Maskol, areas that would be white (in case of LR) and performed preshading using white and black paint (visible on both LR and Rhino).

Now it's time to make the metallics kick in ;) We'll see if I managed to complete it within several days.





As for music... I chose Runnin' Wild by Airbourne because of somewhat coincidental name of the band ;)

Evenstar

Lately during my exam session I took some time to finish one of many minis from my backlog, as usual. My choice was Remastered figure of Arwen (foot version), that has been on my shelf for almost 1,5 year. I decided to do purple scheme, since I just love those GW purples. Another thing I decided to go with on this one was some extreme highlights up to pure white. That forced me to do whole sword twice since first approach on it looked a bit awkward (more natural looks with more gray on it didn't quite fit rest of mini style). Anyway, here's the complete set of pics and link on CMoN.

And as for the music corner, I have no other choice than use Howard Shore composition:
