Pre-Heresy Death Guard: Primus Medicae completed

Hi all. 

I have finally got the Death Guard Transfers, so I can start finishing some units off!!

So a while ago I started a Death Guard Primus Medicae (my first non-Titan model in a long while!). It  is now complete, so take a look. 

I was tempted to add blood down his front, as a byproduct of his role as a battlefield apothecary. 

I am now desperate to hear of Holgoarg and if he is still around mid-Heresy. Hopefully the new Death Guard book that is about to drop can answer that.

Pre-Heresy Death Guard: Primus Medicae Work in Progress

Hi all

It’s nice to get back to a 28mm model again, and a Horus Heresy one at that. 

I decided one evening this week to look at wrapping up my Death Guard Legion between AT and Titan projects. So I excitedly decided to start with a character, as it had been a while since I did any Legionnaires. 

This model I am a big fan of, and I believe the heavy armour and padded garment (what’s it called people?!) really screams Death Guard. 

The armour is nice and bespoke. I especially like the power cells on top.

Standard base colours down. 

White blended up with white scar and Lahmian medium. 

I put a lot of effort into the blood bags. The surrounds are meant to be clear and so with son careful shading I added the colour beneath to the surrounding edge to give that impression. 

Love a bit of Verdigris!!

All that’s left now is to ship the armour, add transfers (which I have misplaced!!), weather with some soiling and blood, then base the mini!

Necromunda: Yolanda Skorn

Hi all

I decided to take a break from terrain and paint a character. This is Yolanda Skorn, a Bounty Hunter from Gang War 2. 

Some of the group including me have decided to get together and collect all characters from Necromunda and the Gang War books. We plan on taking it in turns to paint these models (or bartering / swapping turns to choose a character). As I have just finished my Escher Gang; Mulieres Mortis, I decided to keep the momentum up with another model of the same ilk. 

I was thinking about painting Yolanda with the Mulieres Mortis colour scheme, but then I came to the conclusion that Yolanda would not be one to change her garb from contract to contract (especially as she is insane), so I decided to copy the existing colour scheme for her, which I think will have a nice contrast against the Reds of my Gang. 

That’s the first of hopefully many characters down. She was a great sculpt and a fantastically detailed mould.

Bronze Daemon Award for Mulieres Mortis

Hi all

I’m very proud to have won a Bronze Daemon for my Necromunda Escher Gang, Mulieres Mortis. I have been quite quiet over the last few weeks as I worked on the display. 

There they are. The whole gang. 

My Battle Bunny piece of art (and our mascot) made it onto the walls

The graffiti is all names of either gang members, gang names or names of the Battle Bunnies contributors. 

All were created on an online graffiti generator and printed out on clear transfers. 

There are House tags which have been covered over by another gang logo as territory changes sides. 

The flooring was done in much the same way too. I even did graffiti on the other side of the wall (not seen by the display). 

I am very happy to have this award (even though there were not many entrants). I do hope for a silver and gold one day, but that is way off.

Weathering the Sector Mechanicus gantries

Hi all

Progress on the big projects is increasing day by day. I have finished a full half of the gantries Kaelo and I purchased now. At the end hopefully I will put together a full guide, but in the meantime have a peak. 

As you can see above, the walkway on the right has been chipped with a sponge using 3 parts Dryad Bark, 2 parts Warplock Bronze and 2 parts Abaddon black. I then used the rust/dirt technique which was shown by the GW terrain painter at WarhammerFest (great guy who painted most of the Sector Mechanicus range). This is mixture is one pot of Lahmian Medium and two dollops of Mournfang Brown mixed together. Take a big brush, smear the mixture on to an area (not too big as it may dry quickly) then with a kitchen roll, quickly wipe it off so that only the recessed areas maintain the colour. 

It's a tricky balance trying to get a piece of terrain that you can use in the Underhive (rusty and falling to pieces) and as regular maintained above ground terrain. 

Kaelo and I also managed to get our second game of Necromunda in tonight too. The Beast Lure tactic card was a very very very deadly tactic card to have, especially as I managed to drop it within 6" of 3 gangers. 

Expect more soon.
