Catulan Reaver Champion - Games Workshop (Conversion)

 

Hello everyone!

It has been quite a while since I last posted, not because I haven't been painting since March, but simply because it primarily has been Napoleonic models, which I just forget to post as most people don't find them that interesting. I have painted a Warhammer Fantasy model which I should post as I imagine some might like a whiff of nostalgia. I'll get that sorted out soon (if I remember).

Anyway!
I got this model, or well the base model, as a gift from a good friend of mine earlier in the year, and between all the Napoleonics I found time to start my conversion. The base model was the Loyalist Champion Consul from Games Workshop/Forgeworld, and then I just raided my bits box for the rest and did a lot of scraping/sanding/Greenstuffing to remove all the "loyalist" details on the model.

I'm quite proud of the conversion, but parts of the paint job I'm not too keen on, and at the same time also too lazy to actually redo it. So this will have to do :-)

Here's some more pictures for the full 360, I hope you like it.

As always, if you want a more steady stream of updates I'd suggest following along on Instagram.

Until next time

Horus Ascended - Sons of Horus - Forgeworld

 


Hello everyone

As you are most likely aware, if you follow me on Instagram, I semi-recently finished painting my Horus Ascended, which was a gift from a good mate of mine. I painted this over roughly 6 months while working on other things when it started to drive me a little crazy. I'm very happy with how it turned out overall, but there are a few things that I think could have been better, but I'm simply too lazy to actually try again. 

As you might have noticed it's based on a 40mm base and the reason is simply that I highly doubt I'm ever going to actually play it as the Ascended version (which is on a 60mm base) because it would require a very big game to legally bring it in an army. So I managed to cut up his scenic base and fit it on a 40mm, then used Milliput to sculpt the rest of the base.

So yeah, super happy, but I'm never going to paint this model again that's for sure :-D

Anyway, more pictures.





Here are a few pictures with a lighter background as it makes quite a difference to how the model is perceived.



Hope you like it.

Until next time
Chris

Contemptor Dreadnought - Sons of Horus - Games Workshop


Hello everyone!

Totally forgot to post this Contemptor Dreadnought I painted up after the release of the Age of Darkness starter set. So better rectify that immediately.

Build right out of the box with a few Sons of Horus conversions added (chains and coins). Was a lovely model to paint but honestly a little shit to assemble compared to the FW resin version.

Anyway, pictures!
