Basing Blood Angel Terminators

G'Day!

If you hadn't guessed by the lack of updates I am still putting off the drop pod.. And as I am going home tomorrow I will be putting it off till at least the 28th of December when I need to take a large caffeine intake and just DO IT.

But as part of my impressively productive procrastination around this point I have now re-based all my blood angel terminators, by which I mean added extra detail to all of them and also finally panted the rims black to stop the red undercoated base rims from clashing so horribly with the red models.

Here are some before pictures:

And some delightful after pictures:

That is these guys completely done now! Apart from a matt varnish to protect them when the weather is being kinder!

In terms of expanding the red wing of my blood Angels, I have a drop pod that needs stripping and repairing and that will become the chariot of fire for my Furioso Dreadnought and I also have a squad of  assault marines that need stripping and converting a bit on the go somewhere. Finally I have my converted Sanguinary Guard that are built and just need painting but that is way down the project pile sadly!

Peace out,

Blood Angel Terminators - Re-highlighting

Hey everyone,

In another bid to avoid painting that damn drop pod I have begun doing a few painting/modelling jobs that needed doing but were low reward/low priority jobs. Well they've jumped to the top of the queue!!

The first blood angels I painted were a squad of hammernators from the blood angel specific boxset, and well shit, I made a bloody mess of them! They were painted before I gave real thought to improving my painting and so are noticeably a lower level of painting. They are still perfectly fine for tabletop gaming and I'm not embarrassed by them or anything but I've come along a lot. 

So I decided to go back and add an extra highlight to them to just make them a bit more presentable I started one guy before I realised I should do a before shot so here's 4 termies before the extra highlight:

And here are all 5 after the additional highlight. I do apologise for the poor lighting, instead of buying an additional lamp I've decided to see if my parents have bought me the foldio that I have been asking for as a present for some time, its a bit pricey so I'm not sure but thought I'd wait and see. If you don't know what a foldio is, look them up they are very cool!

Its only a little thing but I think it makes them look that much better for it in the long run, the flash has washed the finer highlights out as well so they are more prominent than the pictures suggest. 

Next up I have these guys and 5 lightning claw termies (who I learnt enough by that point to have already highlighted them) as well as Captain Karlaen and my Furioso Dreadnought who all need the rim of their bases painting black and some static grass and pebble stone things adding to their bases. Hopefully get them done early next week and then these guys are actually done!

Peace out,

Rob
