Dark Angel's Plasma Gunner

This is the first Dark Angels marine I have painted in about 5 years. I painted a bunch of Deathwing last year but it has been a long time for the regular guys. I am working on updating this army for the DA codex and it is turning into a pain. The new codex is more restrictive than the previous version and I am unable to run the army the way I used to. It is forcing me to paint some new elements. This will allow me to update the basing to match my Deathwing and to touch up some of the older models.

1940 French Test Paint

This is my first try at a WWII French soldier. I think the colors are looking pretty good. The helmet should be a little darker and the bread-bag should be darker too. Not bad for a first try I think. THe next ones will have a little better attention to detail.

Saruman

I think I need to dip him. The contrast is a little off I think.

Daemonhunters Part 2

For the second installment of my Daemonhunters army will focus on the inducted Space Marines - the Knights of Eden. Since I am doing a radical army I need some serious punch. I can't take the Grey Knights so and inducted Space Marine force is the only real option.


The speeder has one function in this army - tank hunting. The multi-melta is only good for killing tanks and I don't have anything else for this job.


Scouts are scouts and I have yet to take them in the army. Infiltration is the only real strength but I lack any special weapons. Once I add some sniper rifles these guys will see some table time.



A couple of squads of Space Marines form the core of the army. These guys are tough and dangerous. I have focused the configuration on troop killing.


I currently have a single Rhino transport and I rarely use this option. So far the army is very foot oriented. Eventually, I will add a second Rhino and a Landraider. This will give the army a high level of mobility.

This army is made up of stuff I have around. I have not purchased anything specifically for this project, it is all left overs. That is why the configuration is not optimal, I just make do with what I have. Eventually the Space Marines will have enough elements to function as a proper army on their own.

Oh, I painted these guys about 3 years ago. It might be time to go back and touch them up a bit, but I think they still look pretty good.

The Danes

The Danes are done! Not bad, it took just about a month of painting to finish this unit of twenty. These figures were donated by Gripping Beast as a prize in one of our North Phoenix Irregulars Wild West WAB Tournaments. I did not win these, I am not good enough at WAB for that. I traded the winner for something...I can't remember what.



Next up is the Kiev city militia, I think.

Viking Musician

Viking Standard Bearer

Well, he has no standard yet, but he will. This is the second installment in my Viking unit. This is a figure by Gripping Beast, as was the first figure. This is my favorite miniatures company.
