August Oath Complete


First painting news is I attended a day at a workshop in Liverpool, had an excellent time and learnt a lot of really interesting techniques to work on, it was hosted by John and taught by Chris, Chris is an amazing painter, responsible for one of my favorite models ever, http://www.coolminiornot.com/304069?browseid=2631106 , it was well worth the time effort and money, can't wait for another one, can't seem to get a decent photo of the metallics I worked on there, its just too damn shiny for my set up.

Anyway, finished my oath, gave myself a tight deadline but cheated by only doing the minimum amount of models, all done now, here's a group shot



Here's a few close ups of each marine, went for a decent table-top standard on these as its just going to be for playing a few games with more than anything, a bit more went into the Sarge, his face is pretty decent, the leather strap was looking really good, until I fucked up some free-hand on it and had to redo it, balls.







and for the Kaptin's Log, I filed off the terrible tiny mohawk from the sarge and replaced it with some painted on head-stubble, as you can see better here, also I painted on a scar, because, you know, why not?

Painting update

Just a quick one, its been a month since my last update nearly, have yet to start my Oath, only said I'd do 3 Space Marines, so it shouldn't take long to be honest.

Missed a session on the painting group, but, the Nurgle Lord progress is good, he looks pretty great so far, even if I am leaning towards 'Eavy Metal too much, not intentional, but, I guess if you've spent most of your life looking at one style, it creeps into your painting! 

Anyway, he's a quick pic!



See, not too bad, the skin looks good, the armour looks pretty good too so far, this should turn out well!
