Word Bearers marine #4 - Dark Vengeance chosen

Yet another, this time toting a power fist and a bolt pistol...

Word Bearers marine #2

So, I actually managed to get some more painting done over the last week. OK, OK, know, its just one measly marine, but I did spend about 1 hour per evening on it. I think I'm pretty happy with how it has turned out though.

Expect more slow progress soon...

Death Guard marine #12

I'm doing well this week. I'm almost becoming prolific or something!!

Here's another plague marine, following my usual colour scheme...

Something strange has also been bothering me this week.  It's had an unexpected effect on me.
A guy called Tony Sly from an American punk rock band called No Use For A Name was found dead earlier this week.  41 years old. That's only 6 years older than me.  It kind of makes a dude feel quite mortal when somebody from the same larger sub-culture, of roughly the same generation pops it..

It'd been a while (12 - 14 years!!) since I'd listened to them, as they'd not released anything that I'd been too interested in for 12 - 14 years (probably coinciding with Chris Shifflet joining Foo Fighters, actually).  Sad times.  I've been having a bit of a nostalgia trip. Here's a clip of Tony doing a tune acoustic style with Joey Cape from Lagwagon. R.I.P.

Death Guard marine #6 (or is it 7?) Who's counting anyway...

As promised t'other day, as we say in't'North (even though I don't live in't'North any more I am reliably informed such phraseology is still common), this post is about my latest Death Guard marine.

This one is another model from GW's finecast set. It's the second one I've done from said set.  Interestingly, on both models, I was a bit unsure what direction my painting was going in, even though I was trying to tie in the colour scheme with the Forge World models I'd already worked on. Somehow, they've both come together and I don't think they look out of place alongside the Forge World stuff.

Somebody looks like he's been having a rough time of it.  There's a couple of bits on the chest piece that I will do a little more work on later.

Quite like the odd shoulder piece on this arm.

There's not really much point to this, I was just experimenting with cropping  pictures. I thought it looked alright,  so I put it in.
