Terror tactics - Night Lords Raptors

Continuing in my favorite mode for my Night Lords collection, these Raptors are a kitbash of a whole bunch of eras.

Back With a Vengeance - Night Lords Revisions and Additions

So, there comes a time in basically every project that's allowed to sit around me long enough, that I decide I need to fix something.

A Real Firebrand - Black Legion Demon Prince conversion

This big dude definitely ranks right up there with my favorite 40k projects.

Flame On! - Salamanders Forge World Squads

Nothing says retro 40k to me like old flamers and old missile launchers.

Promethean Cult - Salamanders Tactical Marines

Just a short one today.

I wish I could take credit for the idea (I can't- that would be my client's), but I think the flame and rune motifs on Word Bearers fit very nicely in, for some more variety in these Salamanders.

Flame Units Only - Salamanders Heavy Flamer Squad

I think it's something with my origins playing Eldar back in 3rd edition that warms my heart to see a whole unit of specialists.

It might also have to do with how 40k's shooting rules really are not built for the model of generalists & specialists, or specialists in two different areas, being in the same squad, and how the HH load-outs for the most part bypass this entirely. I think that giving all squads a single split fire attack would have gone a long way to making a lot of the formations that are supposedly a good idea but are actually a waste of time viable, but c'est la vie- FW's pseudo-patch does a good enough job of responding to the issue.

Also, it would probably be a bad idea to charge these guys.

Ye Olde Burninator - Salamanders Heavy Flamer test

A continuation of the previous Horus Heresy Salamanders--

Can Opener. - Night Lords terminator lord

Tried to go subtle with this guy.

Raids on the Edge of the Maelstrom - Night Lords, and mini battle report: Astral Claws vs. Night Lords

A couple beginnings- the first Night Lords, and the first battle report moving in to 7th edition 40k.

Mr. Fancypants! - Forge World's Vulkan

I've been looking forward to painting a primarch since the first previews were released, and suffice to say, FW did not disappoint.

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner - Forgeworld base

I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've photographed just a base.

Immovable Objects & Unstoppable Forces - Salamanders Firedrake Squad

With the exception of maybe a couple character models and maybe the Space Hulk minis (which are mostly just impressive for how much they got out of simple models), I'd argue these are the best terminator models around.

They were fun to paint, and have some fantastic detail. I particularly like how dynamic they were, and that the armor felt perfectly bulky.

Forging a Narrative! (...or maybe just heating and hitting stuff) - Salamanders test Firedrake

I've liked Salamanders since my first introduction to them in the days of the Armageddon mini-codex back in 3rd edition, but this is the first time I've gotten to paint one.

Running the Gauntlet - Death Guard Caestus Assault Ram

Get it? It's a pun... whatever, just forget it. I'm just so unappreciated.

It's pretty rare that I go out of my way to do anything special with photos other than angles and whatnot, but the Caestus is just too fun not to whip up something in photoshop.

Zoom Zoom Zoom! Death Guard Javelin Land Speeder

As I've mentioned, Death Guard are one of my favorite legions. However, this is the first time I've done them in pre-heresy colors.

Rollin' in Style - Sisters of Battle Canoness

The finished version of my earlier conversion.

Heavy Metal... Poisoning - Death Guard Obliterators

I've never really liked Obliterators as iron warriors (I feel like the ancient scrap collector ones looked more appropriate, though I also had fun converting these more supernatural ones), but with a mark of Nurgle, the stock models feel just right, I think.

Cloak & Dagger - Alpha Legion Champion

I really felt like this guy looked like a lone operative, which said either Night Lords or Alpha Legion to me. Until now, Alpha Legion was my favorite of the original legions I never painted; now I'd like to add a contingent of them to my very slowly growing hodgepodge of CSM stuff, or at least do a few for FFG's Black Crusade. I mostly focused on getting a cool blue to green transition on this guy, quite happy with the results.

"Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?" - Sisters of Battle Canoness conversion

Well, this is a first for me- I'd never been asked to swap a model's gender before.
