Ultramarines Chapter Master



This is my new Chapter Master model.  He is made up of bits from the Limited Edition Captain model #2, Vanguard bits, Sternguard bits and the Masters of the Chapter Storm Shield.  He has come out as well as I could have hoped for.  There were 5 major parts to work on; the body, the hammer, the shield, the banner and the cape.  All have come out pretty well and combine to make a strong centrepiece model to protect Tigurius and work alongside my 2 Sternguard Sqauds.






The thunder hammer blending was done using an airbrush.  The colours used were VMA Mahogany in the centre initially, then working out Evil Sunz Scarlet, Troll Slayer Orange and Flash Gitz Yellow.  The ends were highlighted very softly using VMA White.  Watered down Bloodletter Glaze pulled it altogether.


The cape uses the progression directed by GW; Khorne Red, Crimson Carbourg Wash, Khorne Red again then a few changes from here – Memphiston red followed finally by Evil Sunz Scarlet.



The banner allowed me to try out non-metallic colour painting.  I opted to do the cape trim and banner elements using this technique.  I don’t know where to start with describing this.  I ended up using lots different mixes of Agrax Earthshade wash, Screaming Skull, Flash Gitz Yellow, Zandri Dust and Bestial Brown.  It has come out ok and it is something I will look for opportunities to roll out on future projects.  This being my first try ever, I am generally happy with the end result.



The rest I think is fairly self-explanatory – GW Dawnstone, GW Admin Grey and Vallejo Liquid Gold Old Gold across much of the model.

This is bar far and away one of the strongest combinations for a Chapter Master in the game (until 7th ruins him?? – hopefully not!).  I hope you like my version of this particular build.  More Sternguard next.  HTB.

House Cadmus Imperial Knights

This post has been sat in my archive for far too long. I am not going to pretend it is new work - it has been up on my Instagram for some time but I thought I would show you some WIP photos and talk through some tips on making what is a very large project manageable. Hopefully of use to someone out there! Three Kinghts is a decent amount of work - but to be fair, you pretty much have an army once you are done.  To keep me motivated and to make the project achievable I broke it down into stages: 1. The Metal Skeletons 2. Panel Work 3. Bases 4. Weaponry. This approach will save you time and will help you get 3 Knights above table top quality quickly and efficiently. It won't feel like it as you go - but trust me when you reflect, you will have saved yourself some serious time.  There is also a uniformity you can't replicate from doing 1 then adding 2 later on... Take the pain and work in multiples....read on... 1. The Metal Skeletons: Army Painter Silver Rattle C...

Space Marine Repulsor Tank Points Analysis

So hopefully you have seen my previous thoughts on the Redemptor.  A great model. I think the Repulsor however is likely to have a much bigger impact as some of its capabilities are just down right naughty. The Repulsor has 10 weapons systems...10! I can't even see where the Storm Bolter's are meant to be on it but they are there somewhere! (I think they go above the doors but lets see when the kit comes out!) Initial Thoughts  Very good. Fly and Power of the Machine Spirit are very powerful rules - this has both. You can move and keep that 3+ to hit with Heavy weapons (but you still need to be careful of degradation ...BS still goes down). And if you get assault you can move back and fire without penalty because of Fly. Bonkers for an Ultramarine's gun line or creeping-advance style army. T8 means str 4 is wounding on 6's not 5's as is in the case with the Redemptor Dreadnought. No 2+....Land Raider needs to have something going for it, however when we see...

Ultramarines Super Heavy Falchion Tank

Finally finished the Falchion and another model in line with the core theme of the blog.  I picked this up back in March at the Forge World open day, with a view to have it finished before wider release... anyway...  it's done now.  The techniques involved are covered in the Glaive tutorial.  This time around I have tried to apply some of the pointers and tips passed on from Matt Murphy-Kane and Mark Bedford from not only Warhmmer Fest, but the FW open day to.
