After what seems an age ive finally built and based all my zerg... in addition to being swamped with work!
I think they are too dark with cygor brown so im tempted to pick up some snakebite leather to use on the rest of the army.

Rounding out my Terran forces is a Goliath:
This probably took longer to build than to paint hehe, im glad they are all done so i can get cracking to the Zerg to face them!
Completed the Medics today!
Not entirely happy how they came put but they will do for now, on to the Goliath and finishing my Terran army!
A pair of Marauders completed today:
I never played Starcraft 2 so don't really have an affinity for these... firebats are more my jam haha!
I painted up the other six marines from the founders half as Raynor's Raiders, black armour and a variety of weapons to make them really stand out from the regular marines:
Next up will be the big man himself Jim Raynor and Point Defence Drone.
Next up on the paint queue is my Starcraft Terran and Zerg armies!
Startting with the humans ive assembled and undercoated the founders half and the Goliath, with this marine squad as a tester:
Im on this project now till its all done with only Thornfall interruptions hehe.
After a couple of weeks off painting with long works and busy times im back on it again with another addition to my Sythopian Wars / Voidsiege collection:
A walking artillery piece and support platform, ready to lay the smack down on those pesky Asylumist hordes!
Back up to date with the Thornfall releases, here's Agata, Queen of Carnage and a pair of Farrow Sappers!
Agata was from the Company of Iron release and the Sappers are riot quest characters:
Back from hols and on the case again! I'd started these the day before going having got the armour sorted but finished them off this morning after a couple of days of unpacking and washing!
A bit of a pain to build n paint but enjoyable enough, ive based them to match the Crucible Guard as I don't really see Connie working for pigs or cephalyx hehe.
Ive been sitting on this model painted since February when Sherwin gave me an early copy for my birthday but out of respect for SFG ive waited till she was released to post it:
Having seen a few of the Dr Spork tanks in battle reports I decided I had to get one for my chaos boys:
A superb print and a great sculpt to work from!
Got my Meat Thresher ordered, sorted and painted whoop!
Proper trip down memory lane painting another one of these haha!
I picked up the new Mind Thief to come with Constance & Gallant for some cheeky free postage haha:
Looking forward to giving it a run out soon!
Got the last bits for the army completed tonight! Thats three 1500pts forces done on two months now hehe:
Another round of 'crons added to the army with some Destroyers and more Warriors:
More to follow soon!
This last week as either been sweating my arse off with work or getting an entire 2nd Ed style Necron army ready for painting! And now its the weekend I can finally get cracking with some brush time:
First squad of warriors painted up to test the scheme, now on with the rest!
Finished off my HQ choices with this Chaos Lord and Chaos Sorcerer!
Waiting on a cheeky 3d print Landraider to arrive and I think they are good to go!
When sourcing the models for this chaos army i knew i wanted to include a fair chunk of Rogue Trader era stuff as I never had any of the chaos from this far back.
The crown jewels of the force are a full space of terminators:
The Chaos Lord and Sorcerer are next on the paint station!
Some spare time was had this evening so this next squad of Chaos boys was painted up:
With just a squad of terminators and a couple of characters to round out the 1500pts it will hopefully be not too long until its completed!
Got home from work at a decent time so smashed out this chaos marines squad this evening:
Same as before a mix of prints and original metals!
Now that all my Squats are done i can get on with some other projects, namely my 2nd edition Chaos Marines army.
Ive finished of one of the squads today, done to match the Dreadnought i painted a month or so ago:
Im using a right old mix of models in this army with original Rogue Trader renegades, 2nd ed minis and plenty of 3d prints of renegades and space crusade marines!
I had a decent amount of free time today so hit the painting hard with Helga and two units of valkyries for my Thornfall Alliance:
Eagle eyed amongst you will spot that Helga is a conversion of a Valkyrie leader... a more impressive model and used because my helga print failed badly and just the spear survived aloft like the end of Terminator Judgement Day haha.
Ive done the base coats and basic drybrushing but im unsure how I actually want to finish it so it will live like this for a bit:
Seems like an age! The heatwave really killed my painting mojo haha:
Just a landraider to go to complete the squats for now!
Finished up this squad when it finally cooled down in our office!
A free file from online, mirrored a few of the models for a bit more variety in the squad hehe.
Now that the great cactus task is done i can get on with the Squats so next up is this Living Ancestor:
A powerful psychic grumpy old man! Should help out against the eldar im playing next haha.
Normally I hate painting terrain but ive forced myself to get on with some retro space cactus patches for games of 2nd 40k:
These are some quality stls from Nedius on cults3d... ive another two patches to finish off... the red spikes takes an age!
Next unit completed for the army with this 2nd unit of Thunderers:
Ive got a bike squad, a Warrior Squad and a landraider to paint but as my next game is against Eldar I think a Living Ancestor is required too!
Time for some heavy firepower for the army in the form of some Thunderers with Heavy Plasma Guns and Autocannons:
Hopefully those guns work a bit better now they are painted!
Some more Artillery in the form of a a pait of thudd guns:
With the originals being pretty expensive I was on the scout for a proxy and came across these hehe.
Work was cancelled so I had a bit of unexpected painting time around the family's plans this evening and got a pair of Mole Mortars painted up:
Some light Artillery for my forces with some very random results on impact haha!
Finishing off June's releases with this pair of Razorback Artillery:
Bringing some much needed heavy firepower to the alliance with brutal damage on those rockets haha.
With June's releases for the pigs coming out it was time to bust out the printer and also the minicrate Arkadius that I picked up at Lock n Load:
Next up will be a pair of Razorbacks hehe!
The second unit of Ontos Games squat/roknaut warriors is done:
Again some superb sculpts! Played my first game of 2nd ed last night since 1998 maybe, proper silly good fun!
