Eldar: Dire Avengers
I chose to go for a deep blue grey so the red details whould stand out more and identify them as Saim-Hann. Planning to paint an Eldar army is really difficult because you have to work a lot of colours into the paint scheme. I…
Eldar: Falcon
I had some bad luck with this model. First it was halfway test-painted in Ulthwé Colours before I decided to go with a Saim-Hann scheme for the army. When I wanted to strip the Falcon I damaged the hull by leaving it too long in…
Eldar: Guardian Squad
I always loved the regular Guardian model, really another Jes Goodwin masterpiece. These models were one of the best plastic troop sets back in the days of 3rd Edition when they were released and still look strong. However I would like to see some new…
Ultramarines: Tutorial and Colour Recipes
Unfortunately I don’t have step by step pictures, but for those interested in how I painted my army and which colours I used, I’ve got this comprehensive list for you. Prime black. Blue Armour – basecoat Mordian Blue, blackline VGC Black Ink, highlight Ultramarines Blue…
Ultramarines: Sternguard Squad
Really like the designs of the models, I also love beakie Mk6 helmets. I painted the helmets with VGC Ghost Grey and highlighted with White, rather than layering pure White.
Ultramarines: Devastator Squad
I really like the helmet with the huge lens on the Corporal.
Ultramarines: Chaplain with Jump Pack
A great model full of motion made by Juan Diaz. I really liked painting it, even though I don’t think that black armour works in general works well, because it lacks the shadows for definition. I decided not to add script to the loinclothing because…
Ultramarines: Scout Squad (with Sniper Rifles)
A small Scout squad mainly comprising of the classic metal Jes Goodwin sculpts. I remember that the camo on the back of the cloaks was really hard to pull off. I think real camo doesn’t work in 28 mm because the last thing you want…
Ultramarines: Command Squad
The theme of my command squad is going helmetless, I just thought it makes them look more heroic. The squad has the limited Gamesday Seargent. I replaced the power sword of the Company Champion with an axe, as I thought it would fit the Ultramarines…
Ultramarines: Commander with Relic Blade and Bolter
Really, really like the model. Just how a Space Marine Commander should look like. I love how the cloak drapes over the shoulder pads. I use the same techniques for character models as on regular guys as I think it makes the whole army look…
