Captain WIP #1

Having come off the HQ building challenge, I've jumped into starting on my 5th Co. captain - first time working on gold armour and seems to be coming up well. 

B&C Speed Builds - HQs: Captain & Lieutenants

I've been mulling over which bits would eventually make up my captain, and generally putting off actually doing it by working on more troops... The B&C Blood & Zeal challenge has been a good excuse to just commit and just start my HQs. Captain & 2 lieutenants got a good leg up as a result...

Dark Imperium: Chaos WIP #2 (Poxwalkers)

I think I have a new found love for washes. Not only are they ridiculously quick to add some colour, but they add highlight and shade in one step. Plus a few colours together gets all sorts of interesting effects. 

26 Poxwalkers got to be the test subjects for batch painting, and I kept semi-faithful to the approach that our-lord-Duncan outlines on Warhammer TV. 

Dark Imperium: Chaos WIP #1

Since I last posted about these in May, the next wave of construction is overdue...

Death Company Dreadnought: Construction & magnetising
