Chrysaetos Crusade Black Templars Gravis Marshal

Working on a gravis marshal. I really do not like the boltstorm gauntlet, so what began as something intended to only be minor is turning out to be a lot of work, but I'm actually pretty happy with the results. There is some more work to be done, including some green stuff, but I bet tomorrow I'll have him ready to be sprayed black. Man I wish I wasn't so clumsy with the iron halo, but I'll do my best to straighten the points.

Purple Capes

 Yesterday I sprayed the basecoat on the capes of the Chrysaetos Crusade's Sword Brethren unit of 10.

Since this army is very Byzantine-inspired in my head, purple cloaks seemed like the right choice over the classic red or other colors. Something signifying their elevated status within the chapter structure. Plus I really like purple and setting my army apart in subtle ways from the way it's presented in codices.

In this case, I used Vallejo Game Color 72.016 Royal Purple, and while it isn't perfect I'm very happy with the result:

I will hopefully be able to paint some highlights on their capes today.

Guess Who's Back!

Well hello, there!

I've resumed updates to my blog, as I wanted a centralized location for my content.

It's been a minute. I've mostly plodded along in the hobby, working intermittently on World Eaters, Daemons of Khorne, and Renegades & Heretics. Some of them even got painted!

More recently, I've been working on my Black Templars army, the Chrysaetos Crusade.

I'll be adding photos and descriptions of my various projects, but for now here's what's on my hobby table:

Some crusaders, a few sword brethren, techmarine, marshal, chaplain, and a unit of 10 heavy intercessors. I've just finished airbrushing the highlights on their gun casings.

I basecoated with Vallejo Air Gory Red, and used Vallejo Air Bloody Red for the highlights. I'm loving it!

As I get my photo booth set up, I'll be providing better quality pictures of my work.

Thanks for looking!

WIP Berzerker: One of many

Working on a huge pack of berzerkers, and this is one of them, waiting half a second for a challenger to arrive before carving some turkeys.

Word Bearers Praetor/character

To go along with my 30k Blood Cult, I've been working on this daemonology-obsessed praetor. Haven't come up with a name or story for him yet, but here he is. Also, check out the Word Bearers dice from FW. They're worth their weight in gold, but I love them:

Fangs of Cerberus: Painted (Mostly)

I haven't been updating the blog for a long time, though I have been working here and there.

I have a number of projects going on, which I will gradually post here, but since the Fangs of Cerberus were the most recent project, I figured I'd start with that update:

Here are some pictures of the Skull Champion, and a few shots of my custom transfers from http://www.fallouthobbies.com/.

Fangs of Cerberus Decals:

Fangs of Cerberus: Numenor's Fang

This is a 10-man squad of Khorne-marked CSM from the Fangs of Cerberus.

They are mostly armed with bolters, though two have meltaguns. They all have close combat weapons, obviously! They'd be happy to batter Eldar to death with their fists, but even happier to cleave them into pieces with combat blades.

And the other members of his fang:
