Successes and Failures

So the hoard of grey plastic and one metal miniature has turned into a hoard of grey painted miniatures. But of course it wasn't that simple... More after the jump. 

WIP: painting and modelling.

I've wanted to have a go at this idea since I started my Astral Knights and I've finally plucked up the courage to give it a try. Details and more pictures after the jump...

Showcase: Old School Ratling Snipers

Sorry for the lack of progress recently but I've finally got something new to show everyone.  These are my very old school Rat ling snipers. Lots more pictures after the jump.

Showcase: Old School Terminators

I had great fun renovating these very old school terminators. The models are over 15 years old but they scrubbed up well. Lots more pictures after the break.

Showcase: Astral Knights Landspeeder

Having blasted through my two deadzone factions I felt inspired to finish off my long suffering Landspeeder. It has Languished part painted for far too long so now you can see the 'finished' article.

Long time, no blog...

So I just realised how long it had been since my last post, but the end of term, getting married and Christmas have kept me happily distracted. That's not to say I haven't managed to get a bit of hobby done.

Showcase: Astral Knights Standard Bearer.

Here are the photos of the finished model for my Astral Knights Standard bearer. Lots more after the break...

Tutorial: Freehand Banner.

Here's a tutorial for the freehand banner that I did for my Astral Knights standard bearer. Read on below...

WIP: Astral Knights standard bearer.

Being the chicken I am I've painted the figure before I attempt the free hand banner. More pictures below...

Showcase: Perfidious Relic of the Unforgiven.

I had great fun painting this little guy. He's for the local painting competition. To see loads more pictures and how he fits the theme click below.

Showcase: retro devastator with heavy bolter and group shot.

They're finally all firing in the right direction. More photos below of the heavy bolter chap...

Showcase: retro devastator plasma cannon.

Here's the plasma cannon for my retro 2nd edition devastator squad. Lots more after the break.

Showcase: retro devastator missile launcher.

Blimey missile launchers have changed a bit. Lots more after the break...

Showcase: retro lascannon devastator.

I almost get the feeling that this guy is compensating for something with the length of his lascannon! To see more pictures click below...

Showcase: retro devastator sergeant.

 Here's the first of the finished models from my very retro 2nd edition devastator squad. More pictures below...

Devastator teaser...

I've just finished my retro devastator squad so I took a scenic shot for you to look at.  I'll try and get some proper individual close ups soon...

WIP: A little bit more progress on the devastators.

Having just started a new job means slow progress on my retro devastator squad. However I've managed to get the red on the weapons,  along with some of the details done.

WIP: Astral Knights Devastators

It's slow going on my Astral Knights Devastators, but they're getting there.

Showcase: Old school metal sniper scouts.

Some finished models for the first time in ages. I managed to polish off the two metal sniper scouts, which takes the squad to seven now. Loads more pictures after the jump...

WIP: Lots of basing

You may have noticed lots of very black miniatures appearing on my blog recently so I thought I should get some paint on them. As always I started with the basing and went to it...
