Let me start this post off with a congratulations to my grandfather on moving on to the afterlife, one day I hope to join him there where he can again bring joy to my and everyone's afterlives. He will be badly missed by everyone, it was a rough few days after his passing and we are all now finally making peace.
With Christmas comes money to buy more warhammer stuff. Today I will go out and buy some paints and other assorted goodies that tickle my pickle. Currently I am painting a Librarian in tactical dreadnought armor. I've decided to go with the classic ultramarine blue, covered with 5 washes of [1 part skull white, 5 parts water, 1 part ogryn flesh, 1 part glue]. Turns out this gives a very nice looking highlight for photographing (yes, all those highlights are actually on the model, not from any external light source).
I also went with red on the shoulderpad since my SM are red, now SM and not blood angels, I'll wait for a new codex before I try to use them. As you can see the robe is in progress right now, what I want to do is what you see below, which I first learned to do on this Eldar Banshee
I forget how many layers that was, its about 5 I think. One day I'll finish a space marines force and do my sexy eldar.
Anyway, next wednesday I play my cousin chris in a 500-750 point match, my SM against his IG, I'll post many pics and a batrep here and on the Bolter & the Chainsword. Back to painting! Merry Christmas Season all!
