Blood Angels – new models sighted
This image has popped up on various forums, apparently from the March WHite Dwarf, portraying some new Space Marine models are parts for the Blood Angels
The keen eyed will quickly notice just how many new parts are involved here:
- Modelled wings on shoulder pads - ideal for pre-Heresy Emperor's Children as well as Blood Angels.
- A new mark III helmet, easily converted to any legion by removing or adapting the tears on the mouth guard.
- Another mark IV helmet, similar to the Black Templar sprue.
- Mark V and VIII chest plates - Mk 8 is great for Mk II conversions!
- High-crested shoulder pad - useful for Custodes or Honor guard kit bashes.
Review : Space Ork bodies from Micro Art Studio
Due to some silly accidents recently (even after 20 years of using a craft knife its easy to slip...) my painting and scenery projects have not progressed as quickly as I had hoped, so to break the silence, something completely different.
A good friend of mine collects space orks and was keen to put together some nice looking freebooters/flash gitz for his army. Thanks to Whitehorn's list of alternative suppliers, Jim (a member of this very website) was able to source an interesting selection of bits to create his flashy freebooters with.
Dark Angels painting tutorial
I noticed in the painting poll that Dark Angels got quite a few votes and having recently started an army I thought I'd put a little tutorial together. Much as Whitehorn/Rusty Dice did with the Space Wolves, this is a 'ready for tabletop' standard painting guide, but I think they look quite good and am pleased with the overall effect that my army is starting to take on in squads. If you are looking for display standard painting tips, I'm afraid you'll need to wait for Kidjal to do a tutorial
Maxmini Giant Wolf revisited – Painted Thunderwolf
A quick return to the Maxmini Giant Wolf kit that was previously reviewed here, I got round to painting the model (not base!) in pre-Heresy Space Wolf colours. He's lacking insignia and squad markings,making it looks a little monotone with my choice to do the wolf grey too (oops)!
An enjoyable model to paint overall, but I clearly need some practice doing fur and Canids as a whole. I'm determined to get hold of some bike bases and give this little fellow a proper base.
