Umbra Mortis

Hi Guys!!

Long time no see! I'll first apologise for not posting in such a long time but it has been a combination of things. I don't have good enough lighting for taking pictures, i'm lazy, was too busy actually painting, i'm lazy, i've been working and lastly i'm lazy.

You will notice that all of these models are Raven Guard, apparently i love space ninja's but the Son's of Horus will return by christmas.

Ill start off by showing you the completed Leviathan Siege dreadnought in its completed glory. 

Buteo's WIP - Assault Cannon Edition

With the release of Retribution, Blood angels got access to Assault Cannons on everything!  So here's the start of my decent into assault cannon heaven.  I've got a tournament coming up and I'm taking my Deredeo Contemptor Dreadnought with me and with a few extra points left over I decided to give it twin linked assault cannons.  This was a really easy conversion to do.  I used the assault cannons from the Ravenwing landspeeder upgrade sprue I had lying around.  I just took the front of the assault cannons and the glue the ammo box to the bottom.

Blood Angel's Contemptor Dreadnought

This model was a joy to paint.  What's not to love?  Lots of details, large areas to shade and blend colours in and it's a freaking robot!  Sadly it's only 95% of the way there.  If you look closely the the shields on the shoulder and leg are not done.  I don't know what to put there yet and am waiting on the next Horus Heresy book so I can get some ideas.  I'm getting much better at my shading a blending and it's not as "bright" anymore. 

The Risen Dead, to War once more!

Much like Buteo I'm just getting on with the painting. Ah such freedom the lack of being shackled to a commitment brings… and it’s still a long road to the Heresy Weekender in February. Here's what I've done in the meantime…

Buteo's Month #1 Complete and Month #2 Commitments.

It's been a busy month of hobbying for me.  Not just painting and assembling miniatures but I've been to Warhammer World twice in two weeks.  I went to the FW open day on July 7th and then for gaming with my Gaming club.
