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 Ca

Forge World Scorpion Type II – Saim-Hann

Forge World Scorpion Type II – Saim-Hann With my first project under my belt, I dug out a Forge World kit that had been left under the bed for a good number of years.  I could not ge the smooth finish I wanted so parked the model to one side, but never came back to it.  All the practicing of pre-shading, zen highlighting and shading using the Falcon kits drove me to dig it out and get it done.  This will be more step by step but do ask questions below if you want something made clearer.  Again, Buypainted! gave a vast amount of guidance and inspiration - credit where credit is due! 1.                The main hull was constructed, wing-lets, tail section etc.  The turret was also built however don’t do what I did initially and leave the pulsars sperate.  The crew and smaller weapons were mounted on old sprues to assist in painting.  The whole lot was primed us Vallejo Polyurethane Grey Primer – great stuff, and key to get the different sh

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.
