My Ultramarines at GW.com
I’m pleased to see GW chose my Ultramarines to showcase on their “What’s New Today?” blog. Check out this link in case you haven’t already. Funny how they changed my words when I wrote I stripped and repaint Marneus Calgar. Seems GW doesn’t want you...
Fire Prism stripe pattern added
I did the first highlight on the hull and added the stripe pattern. Painting Eldar tanks is really exhausting and taking ages. I’m really happy that this one will be the last one.
Fire Prism turret complete, hull started
So I completed the turret. I also added a transfer. You can see the converted prism cannon very well in this picture. I’m back at home now and started painting the main hull.
Fire Prism turret 95% done
I’m almost done with the turret. I only need to do some minor corrections, a final highlight on the canopy (I forgot to take the appropiate colour with me) and applying a transfer. The canopy and the crystal allowed to practise blending. I’m quite happy...
Fire Prism turret painting
I’m currently at my parents but took some paints and brushes with me and started painting the turret. I did the shading on the red armour and currently I’m applying the first highlight.
Fire Prism lower hull painted
I did a lot of priming and varnishing today. I also painted the lower hull, which is my favourite part of the model to paint because for the sake of my own sanity I just drybrush it.
Converted plastic Fire Prism
This is my version of the main Eldar battle tank. I wasn’t really sold on the long barreled prism cannon, so I did this “old school” conversion. I think the proportions are sleeker that way. I cut the barrel away and shortened the front crystal...
Farseer Conversions
Today I built and converted two Farseers and a Warlock, which involved a lot of sanding, pinning and green stuffing. In order to make the Farseer models more consistent with their codex entry, I removed the hand with the Shuriken Pistol from the Farseer with...
Second Guardian Defenders squad finished!
As promised on Saturday, here is the Weapon platform and its operator. These are the last remaining models of the second Guardian squad (I’m going to use my Bonesinger as a Spiritseer but maybe I will paint a regular Warlock for them at a later...
Guardian and Weapon Platform, most of the work done
I did a lot of painting today, finished the red armour and painted the wraithbone parts as well. I plan to get them done on Monday. I have to catch up a lot painting-wise.
