10/28/15: Showcase: White Scars Army Part Two

"Surround yourself with the greatest warriors at your command, or cower in the deepest and darkest hole you can find. It matters not. I shall take your head for the Great Khan and for the Emperor." -Kor'sarro Khan

Another White Scars commission down and dusted! This is wave two for a commission I completed earlier this year, and total I've done almost 6k points of White Scars in 2015! 

The army all together! 

A command Squad on foot

Can't go wrong with a squad of Scimitar Jetbikes! All their weapons are magnetized as well!

The Reclusiam Chaplain and a Rune Priest on bike! Absolutely love that Chaplain model, wish they'd release it in a clampack!

And who doesn't love a Librarius Conclave on bike?! Plenty of kitbashing here, and I opted for various force weapons for added versatility!

The first three Razorbacks! The Assault Cannon and Heavy Flamer turrets are from a 3rd Party company whose name escapes me at the moment!

The other three Razorbacks!

Razorbacks aren't your thing? Deploy in a stylish Drop Pod! As finicky as these kits are, I absolutely love how they look all finished!

A Stormraven duo! All weapons are magnetized as swappable as well!

And a duo of Land Speeder Storms! I tried to keep the iconography and marking style consistent across both types of flying models, as it keeps them looking cohesive!

We changed up the crew in the second one, and I did a little digging in my bits box for some variant looks! 

2 Combat Squads of Tactical Marines, perfect for extra models in a unit or getting to your Demi-Company!

The first squad of Scouts; these were converted from the Land Speeder Storm passengers and some spare pieces I had in my bits box!

And sniper scouts! I opted for a dirty, dingy look for them to make them look like they've been out in the field for quite some time!

Grav-Cannon Devastator Squad!

Multi-Melta Devastator Squad!

Lascannon Devastator Squad!

Even the White Scars need an Ironclad now and again! Such a lovely model!

White Scars techmarine with servitors!

And lastly, 5 White Scars marines; these were done as a Hurricane Bolter replacement for a conversion the client is doing, hence why the squad is angled downward!

Despite all this white, I had a blast working on this commission! I love seeing a giant project like this come together, its one reason I love my job! Time to catch up on some sleep though, I've been burning the candle at both ends and its starting to catch up with me!

Next up is a couple quick vehicle commissions, followed by Necrons, Lizardmen, Execution Force, and Tau! Some personal projects in the pipeline as well, so stay tuned!

7/3/15: Showcase: Salamanders Drop Pods Commission

Howdy folks!

Close on the heels of the new Space Marines codex comes a couple weeks of Space Marines commissions!

First off is a set of Drop Pods for a Salamanders army! These kits look so good when they're all done up, it's a shame they're such a bitch to put together! These guys were done to match a client's existing Drop Pod with some artistic tweaks on my end.

The green washed out a little in the pictures, but the blending turned out really nicely with the airbrush!

I opted for a little more weathering, especially on the inside of the doors, as well as decals and the chevrons on the inside of a couple sets of doors.

Unfortunately I don't have any Salamanders in the studio, so the Imperial Fists took the pods for a test spin! Looking good boys!

Next up is 1850 of Iron Hands, complete with plenty of Techmarines and Dreadnoughts!

Stay tuned!

10/2/14: Finished: Raven Guard Vehicle Group

Why hello again folks!

I have been really bad at updating the blog the last month or so! I've been incredibly busy, and its easier to update Facebook than to write up a post! I'll do a big backlog of stuff, but for now, I've got a group of Raven Guard vehicles!

The Land Raider is definitely not something you see in a lot of Raven Guard armies! Lots of weathering to break up the huge tracts of black and white on this guy, and freehanding and decals also help to add texture and detail to the surface.

Little raven is little!

The Mechanicum shoulderpad also breaks up the black and white! 

The side guns are magnetized too for ultimate versatility!

Ah, this is more like the Raven Guard! The first Drop Pod! Again, weathered to break up the black and white, and the freehanded Raven and decals add interest to the surface.

All guns are magnetized too, albeit a little snuggly. 

And number two! 

The Raven Guard assault a Nurgle fortress!

The last picture is a hint at a project I've been working on lately too. I've never lived in an area where Armies on Parade was a viable idea...until now! Expect pictures after the event, but I've been chugging along on the board! Its nearly finished, just have to do some final touchups and figure out army placement!

Alrighty! I've got some back pictures to show off over the next week or so, as well as some projects on the table at the moment. October is going to be packed though with something, well, TITANIC!

Stay tuned!
