Mark IV Sergeant and Vox Astartes

Imperial Fists; The Dancing Legion

I finally have got bored of taking photo's with my Camera Phone and resolved to dig out my old camera (which at least could pretend to have a variable depth-of-field). What I had forgotten was how complex even the most simple of dedicated digital cameras feels compared to the simplicity of a camera phone. I've spent much of this evening, which I'd ear-marked for painting, muttering darkly and clicking at random buttons in a photo editing tool.

Breacher Squad Part 4

Another two Astartes completed

During the odd moments I managed to drag myself away from Dead Space 3 I managed to complete a few more Breacher Astartes. I must admit, I'm getting bored with painting shields (and I'm rethinking whether I'll include another squad) but overall, I'm pleased with these two.

My brief detour into anything-but-yellow has ended... probably. With the extra painting hours a weekend brings, I've managed to finish a number of additional miniatures which have been staring at me sullenly from the edge of my desk, incluing two more of the Mark III Breacher Squad.

More grubby yellow models ahoy

Breacher Squad Part 2

After completing the four remaining Tactical marines for my Mark II squad, I had time to finish off three more of the Mark III Breacher squad I started earlier in the week. Five now complete, with five more to go.

Breacher Squad Sergeant and Vox

Okay, so I may have already completed a few miniatures before I created this blog. The first couple which are ready to share are the beginnings of a ten marine Breacher Squad. Ever since I saw the artwork for Shadows of Treachery I've wanted to have a squad of these. Once Forgeworld released the updated Legion Mk III armour and the Boarding Assault set my bank balance was inevitably doomed.

With the help of the staff from my local GW store, the fine folks over at Bolter & Chainsword and much trial and error, I've finally come up with a method of painting yellow that I'm happy with. It doesn't look as good as the amazing work of Dave Taylor but I'm pleased with the result.
