Slaughterpriest (Hackblade and Wrath-hammer)

     So GW re-released White Dwarf a little while back, and as a way to entice people to pick up the issue it included an epic mini. You can still get the Slaughterpriest on the GW site, so if you failed to get him for free with your White Dwarf be sure to get on it.

Slaughterpriest with Hackblade and Wrath-hammer. KILL! KILL! KILL!

     Anyhow, I wanted mine to look pretty evil, and I figured that the last thing he needed was a good Florida tan (how the GW guys paint him). For his flesh I used Reapers #09275 "Vampiric Skin" (which I got in my Halloween loot bag), and sure enough, he looked pretty ill. Then I figured with skin that pale he for sure needed to be bluish in the shaded areas, with purple bulging veins. I went bonkers with the metallic paint and then washing and glazing over it with different colors, in the end I was pretty stoked with how he turned out. I tried to do my first tattoo, a chaos star, but it came out looking kinda shoddy, but really he doesn't look like the kind of fella who sits still very well (he probably ate the tattoo artist and finished the thing himself...with a fork). I'm very proud of him, he may be my best work yet.

He looks like he eats babies

Kept things looking dirty (hell ain't clean)

The random "rocks" on the base were bits of wine bottle cork, and then I used liquid green stuff for the mud.

Blood Angels Terminators... Update

     Not much to say here. It's really just a photo update of my Space Hulk Terminators. Everything is color blocked, and the armor is the only thing done. Other than that, every detail essentially needs to be addressed. Gulp. Not to mention the two sergeants and Brother Claudio. Oh, all the eyes are done.

I guess the dead Stealer isn't color blocked, also I'm going to keep his chest really white, so it looks like porcelain.

Looks like OSHA is alive and well in the 41st millennium (caution paint on chain fist???)

 Bolter needs drilling, all the bolters need drilling

 Gotta make that into something to read

 He's cool, I love the gold and cool blue/white of the wings

 Brother Noctis

 Not looking forward to all those purity seals

 Dakka dakka dakkkkkka

Space Hulk Blood Angels Painting Guide (Pt. 2)

     In my last article I said to paint anything that you don't know what to do with white. I retract that statement. An astute reader pointed out to me that white is a bitch, and it gets chalky easily. Better advice is to just do nothing and sort it out later.

Battle brothers

 So we left off with laying down the base red. The next step was Agrax Earthshade wash all over. Then make a glaze with the base and start highlighting. (I use Liquitex Matte medium, 1 drop from the giant bottle to 1 brush loaded with paint, and then add water to the point that it flows well, thinner than paint and thicker than milk, maybe heavy cream). Just do the parts that should be lighter, and think about how the pant sits when you take the brush off the model (you will leave more paint here, so that will be your lightest spot). Once that's done add a drop of Mephiston Red to your mix and do more highlights (repeat above). Once that's done add a drop of Troll Slayer Orange (repeat above). Then add a drop of Averland Sunset, and work the edges (sometimes 2 or 3 coats).

The progress is real

This takes ages, but the results speak for themselves.
