Adeptus Arbites

Lots going on here at the moment, in the painting pile I have some Deathwatch marines, British Napoleonic artillery, a few Roman cavalry, German tanks and some buildings. News on those to appear later but for now some adeptus Arbites I have just finished for a commission, the models are great its a shame Games Workshop has stopped supporting the specialist games.

more old pics off commissions

Aliens

I found some old pictures of some painting I did for an Aliens collector a couple of years ago so thought I'd share them here.

Firstly a life size aliens pulse rifle made from resin.

Also I painted a box of 25mm Aliens figures

Flames of War

Flames of War still proves to be getting more and more popular, with the majority of my commissions being tanks!

Recently have been working on some early war Germans, and some mid war Russians.

The Germans are just an addition to an army from the states being used in a tournament later this month

Also a few late war Germans from the open fire box set heading for eBay...

And the mid war ruskies in snow mode, I've already painted a load of t34s and some t70s I must try and get some pictures of those.

Bran Redmaw

I was asked to do a conversion for Bran Redmaw, a werewolf type character from forgeworld. The figure was never released, but is alter ego the giant wolf was.

The giant wolf is a standard forgeworld figure, a special edition one, and Bran Redmaw is converted from a space marine commader

Warlord Games Germans

Commision painting now..

One of my recent commissions was for some 28mm Germans, multi part plastic ones from warlord games. They are very nice figures. My client wanting something different opted to have them painted in SS style and heres how they come out. As they aren't SS figures a bit of artistic licence was used.

Happy New year, and Dark Angels :)

Christmas and all that is over and now it's time to stop eating and exercise again, but first the new Dark Angels codex comes out; which having Dark Angels I amd very excited about.

Having looked through all the rumours online I am concerned that most of the focus is on the Ravenwing and Deathwing, not that I don't like them, just that my force is built around (so far) 2 Tactical companys, scouts and reserve companys. I'm eager to see what thay have done with the options for these and the standard characters in the book. Also please let scouts be a troops choice.

My gaming club (clapham wargamers) has started a new year 40k escalation starting at 600points, first games were last week with my Marines struggling to win. Out of 4 games I had 2 total defeats, one loss that wasn't as bad I was expecting and one very nice victory (space wolves remember not to huddle together with plasma cannons pointing at you)

I'm working on mainly a tactical company for the force, but have also ended up with a useable 600point Ravenwing force I can field.

Ravenwing force, Librarian and Chaplain converted from Dark Vegeance figures

Tactical Marines and commanc, again all from the DV boxset with a couple of conversions

Deathwing, left squad standard DV box and other squad have been changed around a bit

Standard Tactical Marines from the boxset

Chaplain conversion

Non standard Deathwing squad

Slightly changed Tactical Squad, Head swap on sgt and plasma gunner body from the bike squad

I have another tactical squad to paint up, then it will be some new stuff from what ever is released over the next couple of weeks. Likely additions will be Azrael with command Squad, and some more transports

Forged in Battle

A long term project I am working on for another commision is one of each of the range of WW2 models from Forged in Battle Andy's Models has commissioned this www.andysmodels.co.uk (nice discounts on all his range) Below are the British Tanks. In my opinion the models are better than battlefronts, far more detail, easier to construct, they do all have bases though which I like but many don't
