Magnetized Tervigon/Tyrannofex Semi-Complete


After finishing my latest Tyrannofex and the last of my gaunts/stealers that needed painting, I jumped straight into the Tervigon/Tyrannofex that I magnetised here.

Knowing that I have some games coming up where I want to play the model as a Tervigon and a Rupture Cannon Tyrannofex I focused on just painting up the parts I will need now and will be painting the rest of the magnetised options at some point in the near future.

I only took pics of the Tervigon option:

Second Tyrannofex Complete (Pic Heavy)

Hi folks, so I recently bought a pair of the new Tervigon/Tyrannofex kits and magnetised one up (see here) so it can be either units and I built the other one to be a Tyrannofex armed with a Rupture Cannon. I wanted to pace myself before taking on the magnetised build (there are tons of variant parts to paint), so started off with the Tyrannofex.

I was really looking forward to painting this model but man it took ages to finish! Its just huuuuge!

WIP Skulltaker

Having got my 'geek on' fully, recently and started putting together potential army lists for BW3, however I wanted to firstly paint one of my favourite characters from the daemon codex- Skulltaker.

Here is a picture of my current WIP.

The 'flaming' hellblade was done using golden yellow directly onto the black undercoat. I had planned to use a foundation paint first (I forgot to take the paint with me when I was working away from home) hence I went straight for the yellow. I found that the golden yellow's finish didn't completely cover the black, however this in fact enhanced the look of 'flames'  I then added fiery orange, then blood red to the sword. I am currently toying with the idea of adding black/white to the tip of the sword.

For the body I went for Mech' red foundation first, then scab red, then onto blood red. I will be adding a wash and highlighting up from there.

The skulls and cloak need some work to complete, as does the horns- I'm not sure whether to have red horns, or black- this will probably done towards completion of the model.

Will this model be making an appearance at BW3? I guess you'll be asking- maybe- maybe not- I've got another conversion in mind....

Ultramarines- WIP

Just a quick Ultramarine update of some of my current ultramarine WIP.

Land Raider Achilles- first up is the Achilles land raider- an unstoppable beast of a tank, which in the battles including an Achilles has never been destroyed.

Dreadnoughts- several dreadnought projects, including a 'mortis' style Contemptor- the Kheres Assault cannons are lethal, having destroyed a Land Raider on the Contemptor's debut.

Ironclad


Contemptor


Dreadnought 2


Captains- the captains from the chapter master set- I've changed the heads on all of the models, as the original heads I felt were too 'long in the neck'


Also included is Captain Sicarius.


Project 1- A purchase off eBay- Captain Invictus- This will be my second version of the model, having previously modelled Invictus on the old Terminator Captain body

Project 2- A mystery Project- can you guess?
