  • Space Marine Tyrannic War Veteran with knife 99060101353

    This guy came in a two-miniature blister pack.

  • Stone Town Kickstarter Painting Update #4

    This one was super quick:

    Stone:

    Undercoat: Vallejo Mecha Black

    Base Coat: Citadel Morghast Bone

    Pigment: Scale75 Soilworks Dark Earth SPG-10

    That’s it. It’s a very speedy way of getting something tabletop ready in short order.

    The door was painted with the same colours as the gangway. Speaking of the gangway:

  • Vintage Space Marine Jump Pack Assault Trooper 1 0426 2

    1993.

  • Vintage Rogue Trader Space Marine Brother Longun or Anderton with Heavy Bolter

    Vintage Rogue Trader Space Marine Brother Longun or Anderton with Heavy Bolter

    The heavy bolters were a little bit smaller way back when…

    Later shown as Space Marine armed with Heavy Bolter, part number 070121/48.

    Painted but not based:

    I tried my version of speed painting on this guy… which means about 2 days worth of painting effort.

    Undercoat: Vallejo Mecha Black

    Base Coat: Scale75 Artist Cobalt blue, building to a blend of Cobalt and Primary Blue. Shade of Scale75 Instant Fairy Blood and Scale75 Shadow Black

    Edge highlights: Scale75 Primary Blue

  • Stone Town Kickstarter: Painting the ruined level and accessories

    Managed to get a couple of things painted today from the stone town Kickstarter – the undamaged flooring, the ruined level, the table and the wardrobe. It proved a lot easier to show what the accessories looked like on the damaged level than the solid one, so let’s just pretend someone put them there after the building was damaged!

    Colours used:

    Undercoat: Vallejo Mecha Black

    Base coat: Citadel Morghast Bone

    Recess pigment: Soilworks Dark Earth

    Other pigments: 50:50 Soilworks Dark Earth and Vallejo Yellow Ochre

    Wood base: Mournfang Brown

    Lines in wood: Death Guard Green, XV-88 or Averland Sunset

    Wood contrast: Nazdreg Yellow, Guilliman Flesh, Wyldwood or Aggaros Dunes

    Metal handle on wardrobe: Leadbelcher

    This guy was the Commander/Captain model from the Command Group box.
