'Stealing Back In

Ahhh - I really do suck at regular updates. Busy as ever but still getting some paint down. Finally getting work done on that Knight Titan I bought months ago and he's coming along beautifully. LOADS of WiP shots to post but shall put those up later in another post. For the now, I painted up a few of the genestealers from the Space Hilk box set I bought off EBay a few months ago. The figs in that set are gorgeous. Really nice varied selection throughout. I'll get onto the terminators at a later point but wanted to have a bash at some of the bugs first. Generally I hate the whole tyranid thing - probably my least favourite faction in WH40K but I do have a soft spot for 'stealers. Probably out of nostalgia for the Space Hulk game more than anything else.

With the 'stealers I wanted to go for a more pale scheme. These things live in the darkness of a Space Hulk as it wanders aimlessly through the stars sometimes for millenia. See what you think C&C always welcome :D

Dragoons & Hulks

Finally finished the AdMech Sydonian Dragoon I was working on. The usual coour schemes from the Skitarii codex did absolutely nothing for me (esp. Ryza....I mean orange....really??!! yuk) so I went ahead and just made up my own forgeworld and respective colour scheme - Achlys II. I'll write up a full fluff about it at some other time and it will be tying into the backstory for the Freeblade Knight I'm (oh so slowly) working on. Anyhows - The AdMech of Achlys II are garbed in a mech grey and slate blue scheme with a cold brass trim. Really chuffed with how it turned out. So chuffed that I've also picked up a box of Skitarii to paint in same said scheme. And there's the Dominus Tech Priest as well, which has gotten as far as being dry built.
Here's the Dragoon -

Orignially I did the tazer lance differently but it really didnt come out well so totally redid it. Needless to say, this guy will NOT be getting a coat of Purity Seal!!!
