Christmas & Remembrance

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!

Eldar

One day I will complete an army, I swear I will. Until then I am going to have fun painting random things. The winter is upon us and that again means I will try my best to paint things. Currently I am working on an eldar farseer, the metal one with singing spear and shirken spear (I still can't spell it). The basic idea behind this army is that I'm aiming for something to contrast my blood angels, probably around the 500-750 point range. When I say contrast I mean shooty instead of 18" OCE charging.

Later I'm going to clean up a box of banshees and spray them white.
