Spread the Word!

I've always been keen on testing the colour scheme of one of my most favourite legions: the Word Bearers

And as I was bored yesterday evening while watching two episodes of Dexter, I painted this little fellow of said legion:

It was a quick paintjob, though, but I think he came out quite well. Maybe (big one!) I'll paint some more Word Bearers or even other single Marines from traitor legions I like.

Daemon Prince "Quorthon"

I painted the remaining details on my Daemon Prince "Quorthon" today.

I dedicated him, as the name indicates, to the most important person for my favourite music genre Metal: Thomas Börje "Quorthon" Forsberg

He was a multi-instrumentalist and the founder and songwriter of the pioneering Swedish black metal band Bathory.

Please excuse all these minor paint bloopers, but as the pics are very large everyone is revealed.

Maulerfiends

Look what I finished yesterday: both Maulerfiends Doombringer & End of Days

Unfortunately, I couldn't manage to shoot some good quality photos yesterday evening without daylight, so I present them to you with one day delay.

Heldrake

I had a very rough and long painting evening and night yesterday, but due to that I can already present you my Heldrake Death Fiend:

Obliterators & Iron Apostle

After a long painting session last night, I can now present you the 3 finished Obliterators. It was quite difficult choosing the colour for their skin, but I think this greyish purple gives them a nicely unhealthy look.

Fields of Death

As I promised, I present you the base of my Heldrake Death Fiend as I just finished decorating it.

It displays two corpses and the vital remains of more Guardsmen, which will likely be painted in the colours of my renegades. War takes its toll, eventually.

Also, I've just rounded out painting the silver parts of my Obliterators. It feels great to paint again!

"Creepy Shadows" and more Chaos

Hey! Just a short update: I built my Heldrake today and as soon as I'm finished with its base I'll show you a photo of it.

So far I can only say: damn, what a kickass model! I will leave the wings unglued until they've got their paint because it would be too difficult painting the fully assembled model. But I'm really looking forward to torturing that f*cker with my brushes and paint. I hope I'll get some good ideas and inspirations for its base until tomorrow.

And for the meantime I present you a DIN A3 picture I painted as a homework for one of my art courses at university. The theme was "Creepy Shadows".

Triumph of Death

Stay tuned!

Back to work!

It's been a long, long time since I last posted something here. Permanent weariness and a huge lack of motivation were responsibly for that fact. Furthermore, I moved from my old, small flat into a new, really big flat I share with two of my pals. They're just as nerdy as I am and one of them even plays 40k.

But with the release of the new Codex Chaos Space Marines and the 6th Edition I'm back in business and keen on throwing Fabrilis's army into the fiercest and most bloody battles so that they will do Perturabo credit.

Some new devices of oppression are already at the 4th Grand Company command:

2x Maulerfiends "Doombringer" & "End of Days"
