Claymore 2016 Prep

Claymore sneaks up on us again this Saturday, I put a few figures in the painting comp last year but they were True Scale Deathwatch and honestly not that great so as expected got no where. Ill throw a few pictures up for you all to have a giggle at.

Not the best quality pictures but good enough to get accross the painting quality.

This year I decided to throw in two models from my Imperial Fists, my favourite sculpt from any GW game line the Terminator Chaplain and also the Forge World Alexis Pollux. Both of these are, I feel, better quality than the Deathwatch guys but still a lot of areas that I can improve on.

In other news Operation Panzer rolls on at a snails pace. Rommel is 99.99% finished however the 38t horde is still a WIP. I have based them for spraying and plan on getting to them at some point this week…ish.

Next up on the GW front will be finishing off the Big E as well as sorting out Lorgar. He has been half finished for what feels like a million years. Few pics below on his current state.

He looks very unhappy at being left for so long.

Until next time…

The Emperor Protects

Managed a little more work on my Emperor/Rogal Dorn model today, finished off the head, attached the shoulder pads and base coated the sword. Not much left to do on the big man now.

Shoulder pads on, head still missing.

Head on a spike, very Ned Stark

Bitch I am fabulous

Sword based, little more work needed on the handle and the blade also

For the Emperor

During the move I decided that I was going to finish my Emperor of Mankind model that was purchased around 9/10 months ago. I was using it as a stand in for Rogal Dorn, Primarch of the Imperial Fists (kicking ass and taking names for over 10’000 years). Below is a little progress shot of the Dorn/Emp model as well as an older Instagram shot of him when I started on him a good while ago. Using Burnt Umber as a base colour is shameless stolen from Next Level Painting, an utterly epic Youtube channel about miniature painting.
