Ultramarine Stormtalons and UK Expo Prep

These were finished quite some time a go but I have been off the blog for a while, now trying to get back into things. They came out real well and work brilliantly as a pair on the table. Hope people like what they see. Probably the best FA option for SM.

I have just updated my workbench significantly - I may get some pictures up. It is a much better space to work on now.

What's coming next then?

I need to build the 1650pts list I have come up for the UK Games Expo in May. I have bought a big chunk of Grey Knights and another box of Centurions so those in the know can guess the direction I am going. I want to use my Ultramarines but they need the boost that the Grey Knight book can provide. My one concern is the fact invisibility has been tweaked to BS/WS1 for units wishing to shoot the Invis unit (therefore templates...) but this is the best way to go I think if I want to stay with the Ultramarines. I had thought about a Knight and 2 Legion Squads as an alternative - I will test both and see how I get on.

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...

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...

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.
