Chaos Vindicator

Very pleased to have finished this one. My Chaos Vindicator. I Magnetised the top hatch, so I could add the Gunner, and also fitted a sunken magnet in the hull surface on top, to add a Havoc Launcher.
I went to town with Dark Earth Soil Effect from Tamiya and Dark Earth weathering powder from Humbrol.
I'm really pleased with the final effect, showing a vehicle that ploughs through debris and buildings to get to its firing point.

Aegis Line

New addition finished. The Chaos Aegis line. Well, its an Imperial Guard Aegis line I've battered into chaotic submission :-)

After scraping off and gouging out the imperial eagles, I cut, scraped, drilled and melted various battle damage until I got the desired "10,000 years of battle" look. I then added spikes, horns, barbed wire and makeshift girder defences.  I also added some plasticard 'steel sheeting' to cover holes and reinforce the structure. This was my first time using plasticard and I'm happy to say its lovely to work with.

After base coating in grey, I used layer after layer of Nuln Oil to build up lots of ingrained dirt and natural darkening.
Then I attacked it with a Rust Effect paint by Modelmates. Just a brilliant product.

After some final details and touch ups, it was done. However, the whole process seemed to take weeks to do, as each wash of black took time to do and time to dry completely and daily life got in the way.

The guns were fun to do. I kept them simple, with a black base coat and lots of steel-esque dry brushing.
I did the Icarus Las cannon and Comms relay (both from the Bastion upgrade kit) in the same way, the relay just needing lots more detail (I dont have picture of the relay though)

Hope you like it.

Chaos Obliteraters

Its taken ages, but after a long afternoon and evening (with my good wife giving me some time to myself), Ive managed to finish these three guys. I'm really pleased and surprised at the results, though this is probably more to do with the new GW paint range than any skill I may have.
Doing these in Finecast has been 1000% easier and more pleasant than dealing with the bloody nightmare thats metal.  My hat goes off to all the guys who ever dealt with metal conversions or fiddly miniatures. Plastic and Finecast allows people like me with less patience and skill to join in the fun.

Gnome

Just finished this Gnome for the D&D crew.

Retro Terminator

Found this very old Terminator from around 1980 and as I'm putting together a chaos army for 40k I thought I'd paint him up as an ancient character.

Sorcerer

Finished this fella.  Got a bit ahead of myself and decided to try for highlighting. I think it came out ok, and once again I learnt loads. I'm rather proud that my first attempt at wet blending on the sword came out ok too.

 

 

 

 

The D&D gang

 

A couple pics of the D&D characters in our group :-)
I'm very happy to have painted them, and more so that the owners are happy.
Just one last Gnome to paint and the gangs all done.....

Until more characters get added...  

:-/

Demon Prince

Finished my HQ. A Demon Prince of no specific Chaos God, despite the 6th ed codex now saying we HAVE to be aligned to one.
I'm very happy with him :-)

The Process...

I modified the sword, as the original looked a bit...naff....

Details, base, washes, all done :-)

 

Laele - Gold Elf

This has been my first Commission of sorts, but I couldn't charge a mate, so he said he do something for me instead. Could be a new bike, or car, maybe that gun I wanted, I'm not fussy, as long as there's chocolate in the deal. :-)

This is the companion D&D character to Tul'Aris I did a while back.
I'm really pleased with the result, and the green robe/dress should really compliment the other figure when they are used together.
Sorry about the quality of a lot of the images, I tend to take snap shots as I go along on my camera phone, and its not that great.
 

Dog

Got a piccy now of the dog I did a while ago (thanks for the pic Dave!).
The figure is a 'Blink Dog' that comes from D&D I think, but the dog character it was to represent is a Rottweiler, so as he had a good solid build, I painted him up as a rotty, and I think he came out ok :-)
