5 mostly completed Infernus Marines.

I need to finish some small details and get some decals on them. But for my first non-test paint scheme unit, I'm very pleased.

I'm not sold on the bases. Might try to make it more sand coloured.

Five Infernus Space Marines standing side by side. Their main armour is painted in a pinky-purple colour scheme with gold trimming. The four outer Marines are holding flame weapons with the central marine throwing a grenade.

Horus Rising by Dan Abnett

4/5 - What an entry to the Horus Heresy. I wasn't sure if I would want to invest myself in this series, but this was great.

With this dread, the Space Marine half of Leviathan is complete (25/72 total).

This dread is awesome. I can't wait for the pose-able kit to come out.

Ballistus dreadnought. The dreadnought is stood on its two legs with one foot on a raised rocky outcrop. The left hand weapon is a pair of long barrelled laser weapons and the right hand weapon is 8 missiles in a grid in a housing.

Multiple Space Marines and a dreadnought on a cardboard tray. From left to right are 10 infernos marines, a lieutenant, 5 sternguard veterans, a Captain in terminator armour, a Librarian in terminator armour, a apothacary biologus in gravis armour, a Ballistus dreadnought and 5 terminators with a homing beacon

10 Infernus Marines done (24/72 total)

I like these much more now I've seen them in person. Only the dread to go and that’s the Space Marine half complete 🥳

10 Infernus Marines from the Warhammer 40k universe stood in two ranks of 5. All models carry a pyre blaster which is a flame weapon that is shaped like a gun, has a pilot light at the front with the barrel protected by a perforated housing. The front center model has a pyre blaster on their back and is throwing a grenade. The model to the right of that also has a pyre laser on their back and is wielding a large knife and a pistol. The other 8 models are holding the pyre blaster in front of them with both hands in various positions.

5 (and a half) more done (14/72 total)

I'm going to have to get more of these Terminators. They’re awesome

5 of the new larger Warhammer 40k terminator space marine models with a homing beacon in front. They have assortment of weapons with most carrying dual barrelled weapons. One has a large barrelled mini-gun style weapon and one is carry a sword. The homing beacon looks like a missile that’s landed and lodged in the ground.

9 down, only 63 more to go 🙃

The new Terminator Captain and Apothecary sculpts are lovely

9 Warhammer 40k space marine models on a blue tray. From left to right. A lieutenant who has a knife dripping with some fluid and has various bits of tyranid chitin on their armour. 5 sterngaurd veterans carrying various guns and meltas. The new apothacary who is caring a canister in on hand and has various claw arms on their back pack. The new terminator librarian who has an outstretched arm with a dangling amulet, their protective hood also covers their face in darkness. And the new terminator captain caring a sword and dual barrelled weapon standing on a scenic rocky base.

Damn, she’s pretty 😍

Not bad for an evening’s work. Can't wait to get painting.

Built but unpainted Tervigon from the Tyranids faction of Warhammer40k. It’s a 6 legged crab like creature will a tall rear end, hunching forward. On its back a several tubes/vents, and some smaller spikes. Its back legs have hooves on the ground. It’s middle legs end in a thin claw and are also on the ground. It’s front legs have crab like claws and are held up in front of the creature. It’s head is sounded by claws, it’s mouth is open with it’s tongue sticking out. Underneath the creature is a gestation sack with a Termagant exiting the sack. It is on a blue platform with a white background.

The new launch box looks awesome. Some nice glow-ups and new models there. I think the Tyranids have the better half of the box, but that new dreadnaught looks really nice.

Continuing to experiment with accent colours for my purple space marines.

I'm not a fan of the white backpack, but the full purple marine looks much better now I've done some highlighting.

5 space purple space marines in a line with variations of accent colours. The purple is a middle brightness and appears warm, leaning more red than blue. The trim of the armour is gold. From left to right the variations are: White pauldrons with a white backpack and red weapons. Purple backpack, white pauldrons and white weapons. Purple backpack, purple pauldrons and back weapons. Black backpack, purple pauldrons and black weapons. And black backpack, purple pauldrons and black weapons. The models are sat on black bottle caps on top of a blue plastic lid.

Experimenting with different backpack and pauldron colours for my purple marines.

I'm enjoying the white pauldrons, but I'm torn between the purple and black backpack. I'm not sold on the white kneecaps either.

Finally made a start on my Ogroid Theridons. Not sold on the banner, I'm tempted to try the same black and red 8-point like the show models.

Three Ogroid Theridons. The two outside ones are unpainted and primed in white. The middle one is painted in dark greys with gold trim and is holding a dark red banner. The banner is topped by both silver and gold metal elements.

Scourge of Fate by Robbie MacNiven

4/5 - This is great. It adds so much depth and character to the Slaves to Darkness. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in the army or Choas in general.

Trying out some yellow recipes for a potential Imperial Fists army. Painting black next to yellow is _very_ scary.

5 mostly painted assault intercessor space marines. They are painted in various shades and tones of yellow. From left to right they go from a orange yellow to a very cold yellow. They are accented with black trim. The centre one has a red icon on their chest. The models are sat on a blue platform with a white background.

8 more space marines built ready for painting tomorrow. Got some more themes to test. Only took 4 hours to do, which is I think my fastest time per model to date.

Got about an hour of painting done today. Still trying out some colours for my space marines. I'm still leaning towards the purple but want to try a darker one, as this is still a little too pink for me. Though shading and that should help.

Hats off to any Salamanders players; warpstone glow is a frustrating paint to work with. It's still patchy after 3 coats.

I'm holding a half-painted Warhammer 40k Assult Intercessor Space Marine. The main armour has been painted in a pink-purple colour. The backpack, shoulder pads and weapons are unpainted and white. The base is unpainted and is on a black bottle cap. My hand is in the bottom of the frame with some purple and green paint on the nail. The background is white parchment.

Saving my Chaos Knight

Slaves to Darkness Chaos Knight in a top-down side-on perspective. In the background is a green and yellow cutting mat, several other models and some tools

During my recent house move I managed to snap the lance off of one of my Chaos Knights. Though some stressful drilling I was able to save it.

Finished my Goff Rocker. Pretty pleased with the result; still a few little touch-ups to do, but for my first Ork, I'm very happy, the skin is a lot of fun to highlight.

Several angles of my painted Goff Rocker Ork miniature. The ork is posed with one foot raised on a squig, their left arm holding a microphone up to sing into and the other holding a guitar that's strapped to their back. He is wearing biking leathers and a hat. The orks skin is painted a dark green and is fully shaded and highlighted. The highlights maintain the colour without becoming yellow. The leathers are black with medium grey highlights. The squig is painted red with orange-red highlights. The guitar has been painted a hot yellow. Various metal accents are in a mix of bronze and silver colours. The base has been left a simple flat black

Finally got a chance to start painting my Goff Rocker. Ork skin is a lot of fun to paint. Still got a long way to go but not bad for an evening's work.

A front and rear shot of my half painted Goff Rocker Ork miniature.The ork is posed with one foot raised on a squig, their left arm holding a microphone up to sing into and the other holding a guitar that's strapped to their back. He is wearing biking leathers and a hat. I have painted most of the orks skin in a dark green with some highlighting and shadows. I have painted the leathers black. The squig is painted a bright red. The guitar is unpainted. Various metal accents are in a mix of bronze and silver colours

Painting competition 2022 - Week 6:

After 4 weeks of no progress, thanks to Life™️, it felt good to finally make progress. Got most of the models primed and some base layers down. I'm going to miss the deadline for the competition, but I will see this project out.

Previous week

Several partly painted genestealer Warhammer models

Painting competition 2022 - Week 2:

Made some good progress this weekend; 21 models are done. That still leaves a squad and the truck. Aiming to have all the models built and primed by next weekend, leaving me about 4 weeks to paint them.

Previous week

Several Genestealer Cults minitures loosely arranged

Painting competition 2022 - Week 1:

I didn't make much progress this week, these models are very intricate and are taking me much longer than I expected to build. Hopefully, I'll get more done next week, as I'm a little worried about missing that deadline at this pace.

Previous week

A number of assembled Genestealer models

This year I decided to take part in a "pick a random start collecting box and paint it" competition. I happen to pick the Genestealer-Cults box, which was the 4th largest. Which, as a slow painter, is scary. I now have 8 weeks to build, paint and present these models.

Finished reading: Deathwatch: Shadowbreaker (Warhammer 40,000) by Steve Parker 📚

4/5 - Good read, the plot is engaging, and the imagery is well thought out. I was previously interested in Deathwatch, and this book has only interested me further. What surprised me a little was the interactions between marines of different chapters, which only adds to the depth of their character. Some basic familiarity with 40k, the primary loyalist chapters, the Inquisition and many Xenos factions is essential to get the most out of this book.

Finished reading: The Devastation of Baal by Guy Haley 📚

4/5 - Excellent book, the descriptions of both the Blood Angles and Tryranids are amazing. I would highly recommend it to anyone who's a fan of either faction (or space marines and Warhammer in general).

I finished reading Caves of Ice by Sandy Mitchell 📚

3/5 - It's hard to talk about this book without spoiling it. I enjoyed it a lot and ended up reading it surprisingly quickly. I'm very tempted to start a "small" Imperial Guard collection for Ciaphas Cain and friends.

I finished reading For the Emperor by Sandy Mitchell 📚

4/5 - A great entry into the world of Warhammer books, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It conveys the grim darkness of the universe while being comical and approachable. I highly recommend it. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series
