Two more to complete the pack! (WIP)

The stare of heresy

Isn't he handsome! More pics after the jump...

Another serrated son joins the dark brotherhood!

He's got more eyes than I'm entirely comfortable with...

Finally I've had a few moments to paint... and boy, did I paint! Two solid days of trying to remember what end of the brush to hold and how to get back into the old familiar routine.

Minor progress is still progress...

I have painted the grand total of one model in the last couple of months due to my frantic work schedule. But hey, that makes 2 gal vorbak! 

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.

Buteo Returns with WIPs!

Life has got in the way and I haven't had as much time as I would like for my Legiones Astartes.  I even played a game!  I have made some minor progress though by stealing half an hour here and maybe an hour there.  I've been painting my Cataphratii Terminators and assembled a Proteus Land Raider.  I really hope in the future that FW molds all the tracks onto the vehicle itself as I easily spent an hour to get my tracks on correctly and making it stable again.  Argh!  It won't stop me from buying more models like that but it will continue to annoy me to no end!

Post Weekender Projects

I was hoping to have a lengthy discussion about my hobby projects but work has been rather manic since the Weekender and I've not even had the time to take a breath and debrief. A battle report will surely follow. All in good time.

As I've barely managed to hobby this month I will tease you with my next project and this year's plans, I can say only this: There will be shields, bikes, Children, death from the skies and a Primarch. Here's a WIP:

Buteo's Musings

In an attempt to post regularly I will be starting a series of posts where I share what I find interesting in the hobby world and maybe some WIPs of stuff I'm working on.

Betrayal at Calth Thoughts

As many people know Betrayal of Calth has been released with the highly anticipated plastic 30k space marines.  You get a lot of bang for your buck as you get 30 MKIV Marines, 5 Cataphratii Termies, 1 Contemptor Dreadnought, 1 Chaplain and 1 Terminator Preator.  I'm not sure what I'm going to do with everything but it's a lot of good stuff.  I didn't get it for the game so I'm not going to speculate if it's going to be good or not but will share some thoughts about the minis in the box.

Buteo Returns!

Like Vulkan, I rise from the dead to bring you more IXth Legion goodness!  Lots of exciting things have happened and most excitingly is the announcement of book VI with the rules for Blood Angels!  More after the jump.

Buteo - August update!

August didn't quite go as planned as I wasn't able to get as much painted as I would like....  But I did get a bit done.

Well I moved homes in August well more specifically I moved across the Atlantic ocean to my home country of Canada.  So August was filled with lots of non hobby related stuff.  I did get some paint on the sicaran though, I would say it's about 70% done.  I've got to do all the detailing and the red on the two sides.  So probably more like 60% done!  I'm going to try and complete my August commitment for September so still gonna try and get the Vindicator laser destroyer done this month too.  I've just moved into more permanent housing so I should have more time soon and hopefully be able to setup a hobby area.
