Seraphim

These gals were a joy to paint, after painting like 60 guardsmen, I decided to reward myself, and paint up a pretty batch of pretty sororitas flyers. The sisters of battle miniatures are very fun, and I enjoyed painting them very much, especially the armor.
They are the finest unit I have ever painted.

Look a house

I built a house and painted it. Oh, but not a real house.

Genswick Painted

Now i know I haven't been posting for about three months, but with school, and camera complications, I didn't really feel very up to blogging. anyways here are the pictures of my genswick, mostly painted up, i just have to clean up the bases and add some detail. They were, by the way, painted all the way back in march. And in fact, all 60 in one day over the break.

Genswick

Here are the first pics of my genswick. This is the first Platoon up to the painting block, and I am proud of them. They were inspired by BOLS Macharian crusade minidex, and the pictures of genswick troops in them. I later learned that these miniatures belonged to Dave Taylor http://davetaylorminiatures.blogspot.com , who is a modeling practical genius, and who I greatly admire.

Land Speeder

Just dug out a pic of my Ravenwing land speeder tornado. Ive had this guy for a long time and it was actually one of my best models at the time when I painted it. Now that I'm working on my inquisition/guard force my DA space marines aren't getting much love. Speaking of space marines, i have been wanting to paint some imperial fists for a long time now, just for the yellow really, and to build a competitive space marine list from the ground up. I picked up a copy of Brothers of the Snake, a Dan Abnett novel featuring the Iron Snakes. I really like their color scheme, and they remind me of the ancient greeks. My family is Greek so i feel a sort of bond with them even if my family is from the north, which is not as similar to the islander Greeks the snakes seem to base their chapter culture on.

Citadel Washes

I recently picked up the set of Citadel washes, and they are heaven in curiously, nine pots. Before the washes i used to think of painting the masses of troops as a chore to plow through so i could get to an enjoyable squad or IC to paint. But now i just want to go wild shading at the pass of a brush stroke. I want to start and Imperial fist force just to paint yellow Armor and shade it. They make painting troops fun again, you can achieve the same results which previously took an hour in a few seconds. So you can have a beautiful painted army without all the drudge work of layering. and shading. I can continue to practice these time consuming techniques without resorting to Dry brushing for which i have a disability, but actually enjoy them when i paint a single ICs robes instead of a squad of lowly Cadians' fatigues. I recommend them to the novice and the veteran. Beginners can paint themselves an army they can be truly proud of, with out crudely drybrushing or splashing on crusty paint with a paint brush that might as well be a Popsicle stick. I wont even try to express my adoration, all I can say is they are truly miraculous, a godsend, the days of mixing complicated ink washes are over. I haven't said this in a long long time. maybe almost three years.

I luv u GW

Imperial Guard Stormtroopers

Here are the pictures of my first unit of Stormtroopers for one of my guard regiments. Their colors are much darker from the rest of the army, as they are for covert operations and orbital insertion, their armor is self contained and much different from that of my regular troops. the topmost picture is an example of the colors of the rest of my army. All thats left to do is clean up the bases and apply transfers.
