Eversor Assassin =I=

No other assassin appeals to my12-year-old self, other than this guy. He's so pure, a killer absolute. I loved reading the description of his internal biology, a hellish concoction of chemicals that could only be regulated by his heartbeat. As soon as that stopped, well, 2nd edition explosions were a sight to behold!

Blood Angel Heresy Era Spartan Land Raider.

When I think of the silhouette of a Horus Heresy force there are certain models that stand out. The Contemptor pattern dreadnought, the wonderful Praetor set, cataphractii terminators, the sicaran and, of course, the Spartan.

The Spartan has been a hallmark of Heresy gaming since the beginning. A big chunk of resin that was nigh impossible to kill on the tabletop. It has been the ferry for the great and the good, Primarchs, Deathstars and even the humble Tactical squad. I knew I needed one in my collection, however, I quickly came to realise that this model didn't really suit my playstyle with the Blood Angels. The Day of Revelations does favour more hard-hitting, drop assault units, so this project has kept being delayed while I filled up on assault marines, Dreadclaws and Dreadnoughts. I've finally managed to complete this, replete with Black marble, chased with the gold of the Blood Angel decal sheet.

If you would like to learn how to paint the black marble like this, there is a short video up on the patreon, as well as a legion focus on how I paint the Blood Angel red.

Enjoy!

Rogue Trader 25th Anniversary Model commission.

It feels like the 80's were a weird time to be alive. The artwork of the grim dark future at the time seemed to be the last few dying dregs of humanity, back agains the wall, fighting against the night. There were far fewer triumphal images of Space Marines punching off heads, or Wulfen dancing with daemons. The entire setting had the sense of impending doom that punctuated the Cold War Era. This model is a product of that art. I wanted a dark, sombre mood for this piece. I wanted it to feel like the final few lingering notes of the Midnight Sonata.

The far future is a terrible place to live, and whatever happens, you will not be missed.

Deathguard Legion drop pods commission by Lil'Legend Studio. Oil weathering is so fun, if time consuming.

Once upon a battlefield dreary, where I cowered, spent and blearly,
Within an Imperial bunker, darkly stained with dust and gore -
As I cowered, nearly shuttering, suddenly there came a sputtering
As some weapon quickly stuttering - firing at my bunker door.
"'Tis some bolter", I murmmered, "firing at my bunker door -
Only this and nothing more."

The base for the grey armour was given a base coat of Blue Gray Smoke from the Com Art Medea Airbrush range and gradually highlighted with white. Large flat surfaces tend to be rather boring, especially in grey, so in order to liven the piece up a bit I washed very thin layers of purple and red into the shadows and turquoise into the lighter highlighted parts. This created a faux non metallic metal effect that I was quite pleased with. I then took the thinnest brush I could to paint very fine scratches over the armour.

I washed several layers of red into the recess' of Krom's face to mirror his crimson cloak. The Cloak really stands out against the grey armour and the cool tones of the base, helping define the ferocious character of Krom.
