Ultramarine Command Squad - Kinstrife Terminators - DivergingRealm

 

Hello everyone

It has been a little while since I posted anything here. I actually thought I had shared these, but apparently, I hadn't. So better rectify that now.

These models are designed by a mate of mine a few years ago, CAD designed and then cast in resin and quite heavily modified by me. He does a lot of crazy designs and he has only gotten better in the last year, so I'd suggest checking him out! (DivergingRealm).

I began working on these before the new edition hit and I had actually written my own rules for them. But since 2nd edition arrived I haven't gone back to that idea. So I suppose I'll just play them as a Command Squad or something now (haven't played them yet).

Anyway, I'm really happy with how they turned out, even though painting all the gold was a fucking chore :-p. now enjoy some more pictures.

I also finished another project recently and I'll try to post about it soon. As always if you want to follow along with my work, check out my Instagram.

Until next time.

"Saturnine" Terminators - Sons of Horus - Aus30K (Mk 1 Savage Pattern Tactical Armour)

Hello everyone

The past couple of weeks I've been working on this Terminator Command Squad for my Sons of Horus. The models are from a Kickstarter AUS30K did a year or two ago, The MKI Savage Pattern Terminators. Love them or hate them, I've definitely come to love these hand-sculpted models over the course of painting them. I've made a few conversions on them, primarily weapon swaps and adding a few different items to make them look more like Sons of Horus.

Overall it was a very fun project to build and paint, even though I ended up painting them to a slightly higher standard than I would normally do on "normal" infantry, but I just couldn't help myself.

If these models have piqued your interest, you can actually buy them now in their store.


Anyway, I've basically painted them just like I've described in my old painting guides, just doing a bit more highlighting on the armour panels during the last steps.

Here are a few more pictures, hope you enjoy :)

That's for now, my next project with just be a couple of Critical Role miniatures I really need to get done, but after that I will be adding another unit to my Ultramarine ZM force.

Until next time

Ezekyle Abaddon - Bust - Work in Progress

Hello everyone!
So I can't remember if I have shown this "miniature" on the blog yet, but since I took some "Current State" pictures yesterday I thought I might as well do it. The bust is probably about 25-30cm tall so it's fucking huge and very difficult to handle, but it's a great challenge to paint.
I've been working on this for some time now on/off, as I usually paint a bit on it, then take a little break with another more manageable project and then return to do some more. I've just finished working on all the leather strips so I think it's time for another break now.

The black armor is still very much WIP, but when I start on the shoulder pads and arm, I will probably finish all the black parts together, so they hopefully end up looking roughly the same :P

Until next time

Fulmentarus Terminator Strike Squad - Ultramarines - Games Workshop/Forgeworld

Hello everyone

So my second "Secondary Project" while painting the giant Abaddon bust was just finished today. My first squad for my ZM/Centurion Ultramarines, a squad of Fulmentarus Terminators (with way to many weapon options....and still need the combi meltas >.<).

These was a blast to paint, so fun to paint something else than Sons of Horus for a change.

If you want to know how I (basically) painted these I would suggest taking a look at Myles Davids (Lil'Legends) Patreon. He makes a lot of great painting tutorials and has some excellent Ultramarines content, also make sure to check out Matt Kanes Ultramarines!

The Power weapons are from Conversion World.

Update 13.04.2020

So I felt the first pictures were a bit to the dark side, so tried taking some new ones including some better close-ups, hope you enjoy :-)

Wish this was a legal setup...

Next up is more progress on Abaddon.

Until next time
Chris

Steloc Aethon - Ultramarines - Forgeworld

Hello everyone

A quick little update today. As you might know, I'm currently working on a huge bust of Abaddon, which I'm making decent progress on (but still a long way to go). Currently, I'm painting something on the bust and then taking a little break with another project, this Praetor was one of these projects for my ZM/Centurion Ultramarine army (Which is up to 2 painted models now!). I'm also working on a squad of Fulmentarus Terminators, which I will make a post about as soon as they are finished.

Until next time

Librarian - Sons of Horus - Forgeworld

Hello everyone!

I just finished painting this librarian earlier today so I thought I'd better make a post about it.
This project was actually meant as a side project to the current big one I'm working on at the moment. But since this was way more manageable I suppose I got carried away and finished it....so now I need a new side project :p

The miniature is a limited one from Forgeworld and I only think you can actually buy it at Warhammer World. I ended up converting it slightly as the original had a huge demon cloud coming out of his left hand and I really don't like effects like that on gaming pieces (Another story for display pieces), so I replaced his left arm, give him an axehead from Conversion World and a combi plasma.

Not much else to say, painted using the same techniques as always, so if you want to know more about that, I suggest you find check out the tutorials I made on this subject.

That's it for now! I will probably have another side project finished "soon" or at least before the main project is finished xD

Until then
Chris

PS.
I basically get custom name plates made for all my HQ figures, but I don't have a great name for this one. So if you want to help out and "win" the honour of naming this miniature head over to my Instagram and give your suggestion :)
