i love the HKM - i may have to steal this idea.

the Mortis looks like a great model as well.

keep up the good work!

cheers

Finally was able to get some batteries. This is a early weekend 'bring upto speed' update, and will be painting more today and tomorrow.

Mortis Dreadnought (Just needs one set of barrels drilled):


Updated Vindicator:




WIP Updates to the Land Raider (Repainting the turrets and other parts cream to match the army, and fit Raptor LR doors):


WIP Mk4 Predator:


The turret just needs some decals and other finishing touches. Later on, going to be starting the sponsons.

Finally, a new WIP Commander. I decided the current model was a little too static. It's still only tac'd together, and I might well choose another head:



More updates will happen over the course of the weekend!

Very cool - I like the cream on the models, it works really well. Comander is coming along nicely.

You still need to sort out the silvering around those decals (dread left leg is a good example).

Another quick update before the start of the week:

Finished Mk4 Predator:



Posing with the Vindicator, freshly updated:



Assault squad ready for primer (They have assault and raptor sculpted pads):



(Just found I need to drill out another bolt pistol, and some flash on that barrel too! :good:)

Terminator squad (with Raptor pads):



Commander ready for primer (and a command squad):



The commander is now completely glued together, and changed the ventilator head for one of the deathwatch heads. I'm thinking of painting his hair brown but greying around the sides.

Hoping to get the terminators and the assault marines in primer tomorrow, aswell as a trip to GW for a command squad box, and some paint and primer so I can keep going throughout christmas

All criticism very welcome, I want these to turn out as nice as I can (Apologies the photos aren't too good, when they are painted i'll find a better brighter place to take photos)

I think those tanks are looking really good now and you've got some nice poses on some of the new models. I'm looking forward to some group shots once you've painted it over the holidays

Try having a more consistent background when taking photos (as much one colour as you can) or scenery in the background. As for lighting, I take my models down to the games room where there is flourescent lighting. I also use a lamp with a daylight bulb to take the edge off the yellow light and also to reduce shadowing by having light from multiple sources.

Matt: Taken your advice, and i've done some research into some photography, so after a quick venture to the kitchen (lots of spotlights) and a large sheet on A3 white paper, here's some photos of my finished Prometheus:







Looking at the front the door is over to the right a bit, that's just how it is positioned on the tank, there's a bit of free play from side to side because i think the FW doors are slightly smaller?

Hopefully getting the terminators primered today, then photos of them will start emerging.

Cool stuff My LR door has a lot of play in it but then I think that is because I had to trim it a lot to get it to fit an already assembled model!

You still need to get yourself a lamp you can direct light from to shine light from the front of the model as well as the top. Getting photos of your models is actually really tricky!

Yea it's a really tricky deal, i'll have to find some decent tutorials on the net to help me out.

Anyway, my terminators are done, the photos aren't brilliant but they are okay:





Some up close snaps:







And a up close on the logo:



Next up i'm going to assemble my command squad, and then start painting the assault squad

those termies look great.

i especially like the pose of the one looking upwards - almost like he's shooting a Genestealer as its dropping down on him.

keep up the good work!

~ Tim

Looking good Kobrakai. Are the eyes of the termies painted?

Jeez this thing is WAY out of date! Apologies I haven't been able to update this sooner, it's been a rough few months.

Anyway, a huge update! Here we go:

First off, two tactical squads. Photo's aren't great, I apologise for that.



and squad 2:



Next up: The first half of my first assault squad:



The other 5 are painted now, i'll get some more photos up soon.

A group shot (Dated 15th February)



Since then, the following have been added:

Command squad:



A selection of devastator marines which will be part of 2x10 man squads:



Just needs the bolter marines, and 1 more heavy bolter and missile launcher for heavy weapons.

Next is the WIP modification work to my Chapter Master. Originally had a halberd from the grey knights arm, been cut around, changed quite a bit. Still needs tidying, some green stuff to set, change the head (Just there to set up pose) and a set of FW pads.







A Chaplain with power fist:



Finally my conundrum of deciding on a Captain model has led me to build a few; then once painted, i'll choose one to lead the force, then the rest can be put towards a masters of the chapter Apocalypse formation:



As you can see my current captain is in there, but with a power fist, the Iron armoured one now has a IW helmet (adds to the old school) and a combi plasma, and the master of the watch has a axe and a bolter.

Few more photos of the Iron armoured marine, really pleased with him:



I'll get more photos put up once assembly has finished on the devastators, and the chapter master is completed.





Thanks for reading. I'll get them done and take another group photo etc.

Wow. The army is coming along wonderfully now. Good work, and some great looking conversions there.

This is becoming a most impressive force.. I like the "little" changes you've done to the figures,look forward to more...

excellent!

The Master had some problems with his right arm being positioned weirdly, so i've adjusted his arm, cut and shut a few bits, filled the gaps etc. Just needs smoothing, tidying and then painting:







I've started painting the devastators, i'll show more when they are done
