Betrayal



Book 1 of Forge Worlds Horus Heresy series is coming... Betrayal.  Sons of Horus, Emperor's Children, World Eaters, with a dash of Death Guard. I guess I'm cool with that. FW already have the plague marine kits, and all the old armour marks... so the good ol' Death Guard probably won't get much more love in the infantry department, but still... a new books means hope for new sculpts, right? Maybe some named Heroes/Villains.

For me, plastic Plague Bearers + Nurglings from GW were much bigger news, but I've read the Horus Heresy novels, I'll look forward to seeing whatever FW comes up with.

Well, this one little 'Warrior looked so lonely, I figured it was time to give him some friends. More to come!

LXXVII: First Rainbow

Ug, the light in here is utter shit. I'll get better pictures soon (promise). He's actually not a bad looking mini in real life. A lot of 1st times with this guy;
  • 1st time using non-GW paints.
  • 1st time applying waterslide transfers.
  • 1st time printing waterslide transfers. (thank you BoLS).
  • 1st time using Dullcoat.
  • 1st time using weathering powders.

I think he came out looking pretty good, all things considered.

LXXVI: Colours of the Rainbow




I've got a test figure 90% painted in the "standard" Chapter colours, and I've just started another one to try out this cammo scheme. Pictures soon.

LXXV: Rainbow Warriors



I'll be using the Blood Angels codex for these guys I think, as I want a distinctly different play-style than my Plague Marines.

I'll mostly be concerning myself with the 2nd Battle Company: "The Brothers Vermilion", under Brother Captain Kahanamoku.

First up is test marine, then the rest of a Tactical Squad (all beakies), then maybe a Land Speeder. We'll see how it goes.
