Operation Completed

I know I said Blood Warriors were next. I lied. I lied like Littlefinger.

I just wanted to know what they looked like with paint on them. They look good…..

When you play a game of thrones, you paint or roll die.

So I started the Burning of Prospero set. Space Wolves first. Having never painted Horus Heresy era marines before I’m going to stick to the basics. Once these guys are finished I’ll go onto the Sisters of Silence

So I final got around to doing the Space Wolf character Bjorn Fell-hand from the Burning of Prospero set. I followed him up with the Sisters. The Custodes are next from that set

After leaving this set untouched for years I finally broke the seal and tried my hand at the Terminators. To be perfectly honest, they were boring to paint and I didn’t feel the love at all. Personally I blame the Space Hulk project OTT did (I have several editions of that game somewhere…..).

So I picked up a box of Chaos Reavers and put them together with 2 handed axes. I hate the “All Khorne must be red!” idea. I really liked the fact that the World Eaters Pre-Heresy colours were red, white and blue so I tried something similar. I quite like the results.

So as I dig through my collections I find models that I have no recollection of buying. Realising that I had several gaps in the Mordheim and WHQ range I went looking and found I’d stored them away for another day. Box opened, paint applied…… Still a few to go. Found a Bretonnian foot knight and a Highway man…

After watching Vikings latest season I had a thing for Warrior Priests and I had quite a few just begging for a touch of paint. Having recently completed the Empire Noble from Warhammer Quest I toyed around with an Empire Noble on horseback. Turned out pretty good, well good enough.

I spent so much money on armies I’ll never get to play with because I’m a sucker for GW hobby porn. Khemri fell into that basket. I decided to resurrect them only to find I’d placed them on stylized square resin bases. Rather than waste time and effort on rebasing, I went with what was already there. The result was I couldn’t be bothered spending heaps of effort painting around the models feet. I started with the big stuff first. I giant and 3 units of 6 Ushabti. Took about a week and whilst it’s not my best stuff, I’m calling them done.
