Death Guard Cerberus Completed

If anyone was wondering why I hadn't posted much in the last week it was for a number of reasons, one of which was I was trying to complete the Death Guard Cerberus Heavy Tank Destroyer I'd built a few weeks back.

Having finally completed the weathering this evening, here's the finished model.

The limits of multi-tasking

As I've previously posted, I have a low boredom threshold and historically have suffered from painting army fatigue (better known as oh-good-grief-not-another-one syndrome). In order to make much progress I have to paint more than one thing at a time, else I grow bored of the latest paint-scheme and get distracted by the TV, latest video game or other stuff.

However there comes a time where painting multiple different armies at once becomes counter-productive. This happened to me last week.

Aren't you a bit hairy to be an Imperial Fist?

Too much yellow was threatening to drive me insane, combined with the discovery of an annoying mis-match in shades between batches of marines. Normally I would have slouched off to watch TV or played a random shoot-em-up on one of the consoles cluttering up my desk. However with a brief, no doubt not-to-be-repeated, flash of inspiration I instead decided to paint something else.

I've probably got enough un-opened boxes of GW miniatures to start up my own shop. Almost at random I selected a set of Wolf-Guard 40k terminators. Seeking inspiration I remembered a White Dwarf article from just before Christmas where a much more talented painter had completed a set of Space Wolf sucessor chapter models. The post can be found here.

I have shamelessly (and considerabley more ineptly) copied his excellent paint scheme.

Still I'm pretty happy with how it turned out - the picture above really doesn't do it justice unfortunately.

Cataphractii Terminator Squad Part 2

I've finally found the time to complete the remaining two Cataphractii marines necessary to finsh my first Cataphractii squad. As mentioned in a previous post it took too many tweaks to arrive at a result I was happy with and consequentialy some of the paintwork isn't as crisp as I wanted. However I've now finalised how I want to paint the next squad.

Cataphractii Terminator Squad Part 1

Finally recovered from too-much-turkey, I found the time yesterday to complete the weathering of the first three of a five marine Cataphractii squad.  It took several attempts to get a colour scheme for terminator pattern plate and therefore some of the paintwork isn't as clean as I'd normally like. However, overall I'm pretty happy with the way these came out.
