Sons of Sanguinius: The Halfway Mark

Something of an update this time around. After returning from Japan only to realise that time is seriously running out with regards to getting these models ready for the student nationals in April, I have been somewhat busy! Caught in a furious painting frenzy I have managed to make the rough halfway mark! I do hope you enjoy the new figs. Especially you darthfishbag!

The storm raven is pretty much done now. One down, one to go!

Some more guys from the second assault squad. Just one left to go!

Finally, one of two las-plas razorbacks. I love these things in game!

Sons of Sanguinius: Blood Angels Progress

So it has been a couple of weeks since my last post and to be honest, I haven't really had time to do much. At least the storm raven is ready for damage and weathering. Here are the pictures, enjoy.

Just a quick update today displaying the progress I am making on the first of two storm ravens. The popularity of this model is understandably low, having garnered the nickname 'turd raven', but I hope to see past this with its performance on the battlefield.

I have tried to understate the ugliness to some degree by replacing the servitor manned turret with something a little more appropriate. I have also decided to leave the anterior air vent off. The main issue I have with this model is it looks too squat. Hopefully, by removing some of the details that make this craft tall it should look longer overall. Only time will tell.

Next up is the weathering stage, yippee :( 

 The colours have been washed out. I assure you they are a great deal redder and highlighted.

The majority of squad two is complete now with just the sergeant left and some finishing touches on two others. In the meantime I thought I better also start making some vehicles and some terminators so that I can start playing some practice games without too much proxying.

The inspiration for the razorback was taken from the work done my redscorps. All cred should go to him.

Ebay Sale: Beautiful Deathguard Army

Ok folks,

It is about time I sold my much loved deathguard army to make way for the new blood angels. I have this vague rule of only having two armies at a time, which is mainly due to my student life style (lots of moving house/flat!).

I have had an awful lot of fun with this army of the years and it was the army that really accelerated my painting skills and tactical ability to game. As a result, I won two tournaments and came first/joint first in a number of painting competitions. It's a great army to use in game, and I'm sure whom ever buys it will enjoy it too (especially with the new Chaos Legions Codex coming soon!).

The link to the auction can be found here

Here's what you get:

HQ Units: Demon Prince, Summoned Great Demon, Typhus

 3x Plague Marine Squads and their associated Rhinos, 1 more Plague Marine Squad which I usually place in the Landraider

 Landraider, Vindicator

 Finally, you get another Plague Marine Squad (above) and a collection of Plague Marines carrying plasmaguns (so you can replace the meltaguns in the other squads or form up a Havoc Squad)

You also receive a metal Chaos Lord model, which I have just found in a separate army box!

Just another quick update showing you the first guy in the second squad to be completed. I'm currently half way through the second guy now. I was painting them 2 at a time, but I gave up on that when it took just too long!
