Komandorks, Kommandoes, komandoz… Orkomandz!? Two units of those. Ork commission army. Part 4.
Orkomandoz is what I like most… Now, this was a great kit that they made! Ponopose, sure… But that didn’t stop them from including plenty of options, like extra heads, and built in alternate models that can be made with two copies of the same unit. And that’s what I had to work with, so…

Szarekh – The Silent King. 40K Necron Supreme Lord.
This was a fun whole week project. I started with the magical floating menhirs and then painted the floating throne at the same time than the characters… I added some lighting with hot glue, and used neon whenever possible… Many names came to mind for him… “Skrillex the Silent”, “Priscilla, Queen of the undead robots”,…

Necron Canoptek Doomstalkers. 40K’s Alien Robot Quadrupeds…
Like… NOT War of the Worlds’ Martian Tripods rip! Not at all… This is a completely original IP of theirs, mind you! They are big… Or rather tall. They push fit very tightly without need to magnetize legs to torso. I gave them a semblance of variation by posing them a bit differently and trying…

Sisters Repentia – Adepta Sororitas – Warhammer 40k
Finished this big bunch of fanatic ladies wielding two-handed chainswords and very little in the way of protection… Other than their faith, I guess! Very happy with how they came out! They were supposed to be something to work in between drying layers of what I was dealing with… The squad of “regular Sororitas”, but…

Finished! – Triumph of Saint Katherine – And a bit mine, too…!
Started 26 days ago, can be called finished… Or as I said of a previous stage; abandoned at an acceptable level. I could be refining and adding subtle transitions for the rest of my life to it… Or strip those nuns and start over looking for a smooth finish that I once again, botched! I…

Adepta Sororitas 40K Army – WIP Part_7 – A touch of light bier…
I get that the cyborg babies are not the ones carrying the remains of the Matriarch… It’s hard enough to believe they can even hold those chains! But if you look under the bier (new word, there, for me) you can see some intricate machinery, and exhausts a la Seraphim. So the intention is that…

Saint Katherine’s Scenic Base – WIP Part_6 – 40K Adepta Sororitas
For the quite elaborate sculpted base of this HQ, I was inspired by this video by RobPaints Miniatures I found on the YouTubes… It’s an awesome tutorial on marble, and this base in particular… But it requires, as key component the use of non-reusable cotton baby wipes of the indestructible kind… And I think those…

Indomitus Primaris – Mentors Chapter – Outriders
Last unit of the boxset got finished! I was kind of saving them for last, as they seemed the more interesting of the bunch, without being full of intricate details… But they were quite a pain to get to the recessed surfaces. Not an easy way to attack them in subassemblies either, other than the…
-
Mentor Chapter – Bladeguard and Ancient – Indomitus Primaris.
Not much new to add… They are on an itty bitsy lower standard than my previous “character bits”… in that I’ve cut even more corners! They are borderline too clean, due to having less highlight passes than the previous ones… And straight up laziness keeping me from doing again that freehand falcon-head on their shoulder-pads…

Mentors Chapter – Indomitus Primaris Lieutenant. My crossing of the Rubicon!
My first Primaris out of the Indomitus boxset! I followed my test with the Terminators to paint this one… But with the things I took from that, I was able to cut a couple of corners… Basically by doing things in a better order and having a finished result in mind, and a bit of…

Found my scheme… 40K Deathwing-like Squad! Mentor Chapter?
Finished this bad boys! It was a full circle back to Dark Angels, in my journey to test and decide which color to paint the marine side of the Indomitus 40K 9th edition starter set. But not the usual dark green, gold and red like the Emperor little helpers… I stumbled across this awesome tutorial…

Oldhammer stash!
In the attic of my parents home, I found a shoebox full of my old collection of miniatures. They ended there when they moved this year, so there are a couple of not so old minis that I was missing and ended up in there… I mean, they must have been collecting dust for barely…

40k/AoS – Skaveiathrax – Great Unclean One – Greater Demon. Part-6
I finished the base layer of the demonic sword with some highlights of Vallejo GUNMETAL GRAY, and OLD GOLD for some of the details, like the skulls and then copper oxide effect with the GWs technicals NIHLAKH OXIDE and grime with TYPHUS CORROSION, and moved to the washes stage. ORK FLESH WASH for the eye-lids,…

40k/AoS – Skaveiathrax – Great Unclean One – Greater Demon. Part-5
More layers of drybrush applied, Vallejo LIGHT SEA GRAY, and in the horns, GW’s ZANDRI DUST and UNDERHIVE ASH. Based the eye with YELLOW GREEN and the bilesword with BRONCE, quite stippled, to keep some of that green undertone. I added two stripes of foil from a wine bottle to create an extension of the…

40k/AoS – Skaveiathrax – Great Unclean One – Greater Demon. Part-1
Am I ready to tackle Papa G’aap? Only one way to know… Let’s go for it, and I’ll try and make justice to this wonderfully detailed, and putridly expensive baby-head-sized abomination of a sculpture… miniature… toy soldier thing, of sorts. In my mind, Nurgle and Death Guard have always been one and the same army……

WIP – 40K – Nurgle Titan Apocrypha. (the Plague Doctor) part_14
Inexorably advancing! I painted the smaller cables that run through the under-structure with Vallejo Copper, and applied some edge-highlight and highlight stippling to the bronze with Vallejo OLD GOLD. All easily accessible fleshy bits got a thinned first coat of Vallejo’s BEIGE RED, without approaching the edge in most cases… So I can go into…

WIP – 40K – Nurgle Titan Apocrypha. (the Plague Doctor) part_13
I then highlighted with Vallejo Pale Blue Grey, and gave all the panels and metal an oil-wash of sepia. I left it overnight for the turpentine to fully evaporate. I used first cotton ear-cleaners, dipped in turpentine to clean the excess… Don’t do that. I had to spend an hour cleaning small fivers out of…

WIP – 40K – Nurgle Titan Apocrypha. (the Plague Doctor) part_11
Weekends are on the slow side of the hobbie, lately… Having a family that doesn’t inhabit in the Warp, and all… I managed to keep basing a couple of surfaces, trying to think on how will I approach the next steps in my mind as I’m doing the color-in-the-lines part… I’m at the point where…

WIP – 40K – Nurgle Titan Apocrypha. (the Plague Doctor) part_10
I did a distress-test on the banner techniques I thought of using… The material behaved better than expected… but realistic longitudinal creases might be hard to achieve. The experiment piece was very narrow, so that wasn’t helping. But the battle-damage and bending properties I really liked. So far, project “Paint big as if it were…

WIP – 40K – Nurgle Titan Apocrypha. (the Plague Doctor) part_8
While letting the last greenstuff retouches dry, I had some time to think, so I decided to include some original Games Workshop Knight parts after all… So I made the horizontal banner shafts using first edition Warhammer knight lances… It made it totally Tournament ready. Ready to watch a tournament by my side on Youtube…
