Lots of hobby done over the week.

Yup, I've been hobbying like a mad man. Been painting my Sanguinary Priest, Furioso Dreadnought, and the Baal Predator which I managed to finish.

I magnetized the doors with the sponsons since it gives me a good option of saving points and it makes it easier to transport it.

I was also assembling the Chaos Decimator Daemon Engine. I started assembling this from 12 in the noon till 5:30am. Give and take a few hours for lunch and dinner. It was really difficult to assemble as the pose is influenced by the multiple joints and funny angles.

Got around airbrushing it with Gunmetal and highlighting it with Chrome Silver. Both are Tamiya paints of course.

Just a nice size comparison of the Decimator and a Dreadnought.

I'll be focusing solely on Flames of War this week. Gotta get everything done at least a few days before Bagration begins.

Iron Within!

Talk about funny. Today I got my Forge World delivery and here's a picture of the Land Raider doors I got for myself.

I'm gonna have to call Forge World and ask them to send me the right piece, and the Iron Warriors Dreadnought that I ordered arrived without it's base. Hopefully they'll get the missing stuffs to me ASAP.

Also, I've been on the painting spree lately. The Dreadnought was pretty much done since the last time, but I think I can give it a little extra effort to make it look better.

The Terminators were finished within 3 days, I was aiming for 2 days, but I kinda got distracted with games and so on.

Well, at least they're finished. Now I gotta move on to the massed infantry.

Project: Iron Warriors and Flames of War

I'm back at my home town for the holidays which means I won't be able to get much done. But I've brought back 11 Chaos Space Marines and a Chaos Vindicator to work on.

Before I left my apartment, I took some pictures that are blog worthy. These are what I've been working on recently.

A magnetized Iron Warriors Dreadnought. I even did a little extra and magnetized the head so it's rotatable.

As you can see it's pretty much still in progress, not done with some of the smaller details yet. But for the first time ever, it's the brightest I've ever painted for any model/army I have. Though, the silver is actually airbrushed.

I'm still wondering if the basing colour works, I'm out of ideas for now, which is why I used dark brown for the basing.


Also, I need to work on my Panzergranadier platoon. Even though Bagration starts in May, I'd rather finish them way ahead of time just so I don't have to rush.

I'll be working on more infantry models for my Iron Warriors.

Chaos Chosen - Alpha Legion Rhino

I've been painting, yup. Did lots and lots to this Rhino. Though I still have lots in line, I think I should finish up this Rhino first.

After this, I will start on probably my Chaos Terminators, or the Plasma Havocs.

I didn't like how the right side, turned out. Never mind that, I'll rectify it.

Used some Scorched Brown to weather the vehicle a little.

I love using Boltgun Metal for the highlights, simple, easy, effective, looks like scratches and battle damage too.

Instead of leaving the top so empty, I've decided to do the free hand of the hydra here. The steps were simple, start with Dark Angels Green then go on with Snot Green. I have to mark out where the heads would be and all that.

It's not done yet obviously, but I'll work faster with it. I also need to practice on free handing more often, seeing that how this turned out didn't please me as much.

Hobby Tips - Never put your drink near the painting cup!

Well, this will be a major hobby update. For the past few days I've been assembling and assembling non-stop. And up till today, I've managed to start painting on the stuff I've been assembling.

Why I said "Never put your drink near the painting cup"? Because, when your body is accustomed to the position of your painting cup, your hand will automatically dip the brush into the water and the swishing movement of the brush will begin. Lucky for me, my cup is already half way done, and I realized instantly that I was about to mix Badab Black into my drink. Will that be Yummy?

Here are some images from a few days ago. I've been assembling a lot as I've mentioned.

These will be my Alpha Legion Chosen Chaos Space Marines. Anyone smell 5 meltas?

I've also been assembling more Ork Boyz from the Black Reach set.

Not only that, I've finished assembling 5 Chaos Terminators along with a Chaos Terminator Lord and a Sorcerer Terminator Lord.

I also assembled 2 Chaos Rhinos for my Alpha Legion. One of them is for the Chosen Chaos Space Marines.

The one below is the Rhino meant for my Chosen. I've did a minor conversion on the twin-linked bolter. Since I want this Rhino to stand out more, I let the gunner hold two bolters which should count as twin-linked. (You may steal this idea.)

Sprayed with Chaos Black. Real good spray to have and use.

Today, the painting process started.

Looks sexy! Black Rhino with Alpha Legion doors!

I'll be doing my best in completing this Rhino as soon as I can since I've got lots more to paint. I'll also be including some free hands on this Rhino just to make it a little bit more "special".

Mad hobby rush! Assembly line...

I should have posted this a few days back, but I was quite busy and went out of town awhile.

I was preparing for the Legio's Iron Painter event. Assembling and assembling more Orks! I'll be bringing more Ork Boyz for the Iron Painter and I will most definitely attempt to go for the Iron Halo award. I would have to paint 30 models worth of at least 1,000 points within 12 hours.

I like this Ork's pose. Real cool.

I've also finished assembling my Alpha Legion Land Raider and have sprayed it black.

Looks like for the next few days I will be assembling more than I will paint. Since I need to start putting together more models for the Iron Painter and practice it on my Alpha Legion...
