Manic Monday #79

 

Well I was off 2 days this week and 4 next but  that is due to Floor remodel. After that one day off a week for Emperor knows how long. 

So I sat down an started blocking colors out on Grey Knight Paladins and only got so far.....I was distracted by another project.

Still need to do Gold on Psycannon models and then double check the others and do some highlights, scrolls and books and they should be ready to wash. Hoping to have them done next weekend. New Vow in 10 Days...... More Grey Knight Paladins and Character

So Entropmancer and I have been staring at the new HH Stuff and well he convinced me to build an army.... it was not that hard.

Hardest part about the Heresey is what army do I want to play:

Imperial Fists- Dorn is my Favorite Primarch, Storm Shields galore and Plastic Praetor Fafnir Rann! But yellow paint ugh

Sons of Horus- Big Man himself, Horus, Abaddon, Justerin Terminators, Terminators OH Yeah! All Terminators all the time will be a disaster in HH.

Raven Guard- Sneaky Stealthy, beaky! Umm no praetors, FW or GW, seems lacking.....

I pulled out my HH models I had at home and this was what I had

Fafnir Rann, 5 Reconnaissance Marines (Bought to be Raptor Sternguard), and Vigilator (for Lias Issoden Conversion).....Well Not wanting to paint yellow and with these models in hand the choice was obvious..

 

with this in mind I set off to start building.

Vigilator Counsel

Pathfinder Counsel

Reconnaissance Marines 

Knowing I need a Master Of Rites to Unlock Recon Company I set off to build one

Praetor Jump Pack and Raven's Claws

After Visiting my parents house I found some unbuilt scouts, platic Praetor and more Cataphractic Terminators 

Apothecary

Now to grab some parts to make Seekers when I get my starter

Manic Monday # 78

 

Not a rough day.....but a rough few weeks. 

Back on August 1st, I vowed the following models:

Librarian #3 and 5 Paladins (from the 10 man squad). Well everything went sideways and I was not able to paint until this weekend.  

Got the tabards and heads done, started one the weapon hafts on the Paladins but did not take a picture.

Librarian #3 I was able to complete yesterday.

Librarian Sartak Hoyal

Maniac Monday # 19 on a Tuesday ...part 2 Primer time

 

With all the work I accomplished Wednesday and Thursday, I figured I'd try to build a Stormtalon in @ 1 hr, before I left for my errands Friday Morning.......Forgot that I had to paint the Stormtalon Cockpit first..... but Cockpit is built, pilot is built so its ready for the priming pile. Some models were previously primed but after basing them I went for the reprime them attitude.

After my errands, I began Priming the models I had planned too:

Grey Knights

1. Brother Captian
2. Chaplain
3. 4 Librarians
4. 2 Apothecaries
5. Custom Crowe
6. Paladin Ancient
7. 7th Brotherhood Ancient
8. 15 Paladins (squad of 10 and5)
9. 10 Terminators (2 squads of 5)
10. 8 Servitors (2 squads of 4, each with 2 heavy bolters)
11. Stormtalon cockpit and pilot

Inquistion

1. Inquistor Lok (base Ordo Malleus Inquistor)
2. Inquistor Greyfax Conversion (Ordo Malleus Inquisitor)
3. Ordo Malleus Inquisitor in Terminator Armor
4. Navigator from Blackstone Fortress
5. Lok's Servo Skull and Alcolyte
6. 8 Pewter Preachers, Missionaries, Inquistorial retinue models

So I started with Choas Black Spray on all Inquistorial Section but the Greyfax Conversion and Grey Knights with them getting coat of Leadbelcher, Stormtalon Interior was done in wraithbone.

After that the GF and I sat down to watch Law & Order SVU on Hulu and I removed all the extra parts off the Terminator Sprues and put them in the parts bins. I still have enough parts to make a few more Terminators plus 2 more boxes of 5 which will be 3rd terminator squad and 3rd paladin Squad. Debating building a "Paladin" Brother Captain.

Maniac Monday # 19- Huge update..... part 1 Wednesday and Thursday's projects

 So I was super busy in the modeling world this weekend. So much that I have decided to break it down into 3 posts. 

But first this Surprise post from Bolter and Chainsword Rumor section

Nerdgasam

I do want an Exorcists army...Maybe it should be my All Gravis Faction. Hopefully their rules don't suck.

Enough Digression......

So I spent Wednesday and Thursday, adding shields to all the Terminators and Paladins, drilling out  stormbolter barrels, adding grenades, pouches,Tabards, chains and Crux terminatus to the 2nd Paladin Squad, green stuffing purity seals and adding skulls, skeletons, bricks, I beams, pipe, greenstuff rubble, to bases with the plan of priming them of Friday.

Surprise Thursday Post

                         Well my work week has winded down and I started working on some models for my weekend project.

So this weekend I started working on the terminators I had started by adding their Stormbolters. 

Then I decided to work on my Servitors and Inquisitorial Alcolytes

Then I started working on the other 8 Terminators I had waiting to get built. 

In the process of building the 3 Paladins and Other Terminator Squad. I found I had another box of Terminators bring me up to 15 more to build.

While visiting my parents today I grabbed another 2 Razorbacks and this little beast.

Ordo Malleus Inquisitor In Terminator Armor with a daemon hammer. 

 

Manic Monday #16- Grey Knight Paladins

     Well another weekend has come and gone. Worked 5 (2 were 9 hour shifts the other 3 were 12 hrs) days instead of my normal 3 12 hr shifts, then painting the interior of the house over the weekend, cooking dinner on the pellet grill,  and some grocery shopping...very busy. I did manage to get some modeling done.

    Of late I have been focused on my Grey Knights more. I think its cause I want to build the 3 Land Raiders and Storm Raven for them. I still have 18 more terminators to build plus 20 plus strike marines (some will be used as vehicle crew tho. I need one more Dreadknight so I can run 2 and a Grand Master in Dreadknight Armor.  And need to build another 2 razorbacks, one of which will be converted in a Recovery Razorback for the Techmarine. Lots of stuff planned. 

    I purchased some 36 gauge Aluminum Foil from Amazon to make purity Seals, long Parchment, and tabards as I was unhappy with my green stuff ones.  So Wednesday night I mocked up one of my Paladins. 

Content with the look I dawned on me that the Paladins need to stand out more then that an need more bling.

Like the tabard bit in the box I decided to add chain in front of their tabards. So I grabbed my chain, and started gathering all the bits up Stormbolters, psycannons, tilt shields, back banners. grenades, pouches etc.

30 PL, 543 Pts of Paladins

All that is left is adding debris to their bases and Green stuff wax seals.

Then I built a fourth Librarian out of Lexicarnum Valus model. I switched his Right shoulder pad, left arm and pad, and added Grey Knight bits to him. 

And to end the night I started cleaning the shields and Storm bolters for the regular Terminator squad.
