Betrayal at Calth Contemptor dreadnought


Assembled the first of the minis from the Betrayal at Calth box set, the dreadnought. Great mini but a bit static. Managed to chop the torso joint and rotate it a bit to avoid the original flat look. Magnetised the arms as well of course.

Hormagaunts progress


Claws painted, carapace plates drybrushed, teeth and eyes still to be done, and a dark wash need on the red skin...

Last night on earth miniatures & more hormagaunt progress


Hormagaunts, hormagaunts everywhere I look.

More progress on the horde (90+), base colours done on the flesh and carapace plates. Still got the claws to basecoat. Then a wash or two and they should be tabletop ready!




Last night on earth, heroes and zombies. The minis are soft plastic so nice and durable when packed in game box, but makes it hard to get the mould lines off. Still need to finish the hair on the heroes but am happy with how they have turned out so far

Necron monolith

Got my brother a necron monolith for his birthday, of course it needed painting and assembling.

Its a massive model, and will look quite imposing on the tabletop. Used the airbrush for the main colour, then a fine brush to get the green between the panel lines.

Talon & Raven - space marine fliers


Got most of the painting finished on the modified stormtalon, its tabletop ready but it needs a few transfers to give it a bit more detail.







Got the base colour on the Stormraven, started the exterior painting, damn its big!

Stormraven interior

 Got the interior painted before assembling. Lots of detail on the interior, but very little of it is going to be visible when its assembled, so only a quick job on it.

 The ultramarine symbols hide some small neodymium magnets which will hold the hurricane bolter sponsons on to allow them to an optional extra..

 Unfortunately the rear hatch had to be glued in place, as it doesn't have the same hinge fitting as the front hatch, given the attention to detail on the rest of the model its the only minor niggle I have with the kit.








used the flash on this last photo, its very dark when sealed up
