Praetorian Storm Trooper Squad

Heres a few pics of my first painted squad of the praetorian storm troopers i made up awhile ago now. They gave me an opportinity to try to tie different parts of my army together by using the cammo scheme on my cadians on their cloaks but sticking to the main praetorian colour palette. I have some tallern's i mean to one day paint up in the same camo, but er.. don't go holding your breath for these!





Also I wanted to appologise for the length between posts, I got a new job a few months back now and its been inhibiting my ability to post as often as I'd like. With the release of the new fantasy rulebook i wondered if anyone would be interested in shots of my empire or tomb kings armies, at the very least perhaps they could provide some filler? In the meantime I'm afraid posts are going to continue to be slower, I enjoy painting/posting/etc. too much to stop, but I won't be able to continue my older rate. Thanks for all of those still following!

Captain Lorenzo progress

I made a grevious error of trying to batch paint to help me get things done, so until my storm troopers are finished heres a little of this guy.

Jack Frost

It feels like summers already coming to a close way too soon and I had my first dose of spray varnish frosting, it just had to be on my space hulk converted priest didn't it... ah irony is fun. Still to my joy i found repeated washing, light scrubbing with an old soft toothbrush followed by coats of matt varnish helped clean off the frosting on the upper part of the model. The bottom half frosted I almost like as a dust effect... now to work out how to replicate this for the rest of the army... Now on the painting table, some more praetorian's. Sorry I've taken so freeking long to post! Anyway enough droning, here's some shots of my completed Preist in Terminator armour:

This guy is quite a way from finished, but I've had a hectic week at work (new job!) and wanted to get something up, really happy with how he's coming along, any comments/suggestions welcome!

Blood Angels Land Raider

Some shots of my Land Raider, the blod angels resin iconwas calling to me to be painted and then i just went on and did the whole model... since taking these photos i noticed that the dust weathering didn't continue into the forward black sections and have remedied this. I got it off ebay and the multi melta was missing so ill have to add that later when i find one! Any Thoughts or suggestions welcome!

Blood Angels shading washes

Said i say something more on this awhile ago. Sadly my camera is bit awful and so Its a bit limited, hopefully you can make out something in the Gloom!
Essentially Ive found the best two shades are Thraka Green and Leviathan Purple





Seth's wearing the Green and the Tactical Marine the Purple. The Green makes a great base for a dark red, such as the Flesh Tearers Colour scheme. The Purple a base for a lighter red. Its what I use for most of my blood angels. Baal Red is a great colour to blend tones if youve gone a bit overboard with layering. Gryphonne Sepia is great for adding shades later in spots that were missed or got accidentally painted over. All in all buy the whole new wash set theyre great and all have a use! Hope this helps, what washes do you use for your chaps?
