Lost to the Nails and the Crimson Path - World Eaters Red Butchers Devoured - Completed

Got this fantastic Forge World mini finished up this afternoon. Aside from something fun to paint it's also my entry into a painting challenge entitled 'tooth and claw' at my local GW store...

After some thought I decided to use a little weathering powder and some Blood for the Blood God to dirty him up a little and make him a little more 'realistic'. I don't often weather mini's but it seemed wrong not to weather this one as I envisaged him in the midst of the battle for the Urgall depression on Istvaan V so he wouldn't be clean and shiny.

Back on the Hobby Wagon...

It's been a wee while since I properly updated so here's what I've been up to this month.

The week before last saw a fairly speedy paint job on this Primaris Lightning Strike Fighter for my Mechanicum army:

I've also made a little progress getting Lorgar ready to paint:

Finally I've got some paint on one of the awesome World Eaters Red Butchers Devoured mini's from Forge World:

Aurelian

"Alone, a Legionary is a formidable foe as far beyond a man as the wolf is beyond the sheep. Together, bound by ties of unshakeable loyalty, a Legion is a force that can extinguish the stars and shake the very heavens."
— Attributed to Lorgar Aurelian, Primarch of the XVII Legiones Astartes.

So begins my attempt to do the golden one justice...

Crimson Hunter - House Taranis Knight Errant

Well, it feels like I've had this forever but it's only been around a month since release. Slowly but surely I'm getting there though, this is a truly epic kit!

Even using spray paint to do most of the work on the chassis, this is a huge model and painting it by hand takes time...

Mechanicum Manufactorum Production Line - more Mechanicum WIP's

This week I'm bringing the Mechanicum army smashing through the 1500 points barrier by adding two new units, the aforementioned Archmagos and a small unit of Icarian Thallax with a Multimelta to deal with pesky flyers and/or deep strike behind armoured vehicles:

The Archmagos is nearing completion:

While the Thallax are still in the initial stages of painting:

But with luck I'll have them all finished up early next week.

Archmagos Iacton Lacedaemonem - Second Iteration

After seeing the weapons that came with the Myrmidons I couldn't resist adding a second Magos Donimus to my Mechanicum army to better represent it's leader:

Mechanicum Myrmidons - Completed

Got these fantastic mini's finished up today ready for gaming tomorrow evening. I plan on adding another 3 to the army with a different weapon load out at a later date.
