Blood Angels Centurions


Hello everyone!

I would like to share with you some commission work I have just finished. The customer asked for some Blood Angels Centurions with snow bases inspired from my Imperial Fists Centurions I did a little while ago, and this is what I came up with :)






Nothing fancy here, just a cleaner paintjob than I usually do. I feel that red is a color that cannot be punished so much with weathering and it is shown better that way.

This is the 2nd Centurion squad I am painting and I can safely now say that I really like the models no matter what everybody says. On top of that I think red suits them really well, although I'm not sure how the customer plans on using them with his Blood Angels army, probably allies.

Thats it from me for now, I would love to hear your comments and see your votes on CoolMiniOrNot:

Nurgle Rhino WIP and some happy dancing!



First of all I would like to thank you all once again for all your kind words about my Nurgle Helldrake! That kind of feedback is what drives me to continue building stuff! 

Having that in mind and the Tournament I want to take part in on Sunday, I decided to build a Nurgle Rhino for my growing Chaos army, mostly because I want a ride for my Marines! 


I had built a scratchbuilt paper Rhino a long time ago, when I was playing with Chaos back in the 3rd edition. It was a simple built, using some online template I had found and the result was something like this;


the "before" pics

I really liked that model, but I thought that I needed to bring it up to date with the rest of my models, so I decided to spice things up and use some bits I had around (like that great Armorcast hatch)


The end result looks like this

The pictures are a bit blurry but I had to use my cellphone again... Hope you get an idea, I will get better pictures when I finish it.

Last but definitely not least, The CoolMiniOrNot Annual is out at last!! And I am really proud to be part of it once again!



the model I have in the annual is my beloved Furioso Dreadnought, I have already placed my order and I can't wait to get my hands on it!! 


Thats all from me for now, keep your eyes peeled for the painted version of my Rhino and have a great rest of your day with some nice tunes!

CoolMiniOrNot Annual 2011 invitation

Hello there!



I know I haven't been an active blogger lately but I decided to make this post to prove that I am here and I am actually keeping in touch with my wargaming stuff.

Soo... I recently got my invitation for the CoolMiniOrNot 2011 annual, which really got me happy dancing again. The invitation was for my Blood Angels Furioso Dreadnought. Thanks everyone who have voted for this miniature on CoolMiniOrNot and if u haven't done so far, well now its your chance... here; http://www.coolminiornot.com/272319

You can also see some WIP pics here; http://homeofcadaver.blogspot.gr/2011/02/blood-angels-furioso-dreadnought-wip.html

As always, here is some music that keeps me motivated ;) !

Blood Angels Furioso Dreadnought Finished!

Helo again!

I just couldn't let this bad boy WIP for long and got it finished today! I have tested myself to several new things on this one, mainly ways to improve my weathering techniques. I am overall happy with how it turned out (and it seems that my client-friend is happy too :) ). I especially like the reds (although AGAIN the pic is not the best I could get... this red is the biggest pain in a photographers life I'm sure about it!).


So there it is, finished and waiting for your comments and votes!

Blood Angels Furioso Dreadnought WIP

Hello again!

I would like to share some of my work again with you people, this time is a WIP of yet another Blood Angels piece, a Furioso Dreadnought.

This is not the new model as many would have thought, its a conversion using parts of the plastic Venerable and some Forgeworld claws and other BA bits.

I paint so many Blood Angels lately that people may think I actually play with them, but they are all commission pieces. I always liked BAs though, for their rich fluff and their paintsceme so it comes natural to me to have fun painting them even though they aren't my models.

Anyways, enough with the chatter and on to the pics...







There are quite a few things to finish, mainly the claws which I haven't yet decided the colorscheme (maybe some suggestions would be nice of you!) and of course the base. 

So what do you think? Am I in the right track here?

Blood Angels Honour Guard

Hello everybody!

It's been quite a while from my last post but real life messed with my hobbies quite well and I had minimal time to spend with anything other than sleeping :P



Anyways, I managed to finish another piece of my Blood Angels commission and this time I also tried something different with photographing, I took a full squad shot, something that was made possible with my new lightbox...

You may have noticed that I have posted the sergeant with the hand flamer again but since I'm playing around with new photo settings I thought I should try and take some more pictures of him along with the whole squad.


I must say that although I am finally starting to get the results I like, red is a true pain in the a** to get it right...
I really love my new background though...!

So I really would like to hear what you think and as always see your votes in CoolMiniOrNot

Blood Angels old school Libriarian.

Hello! I have just received my Lightbox and I had some pictures taken to see how it works. Its quite big, meaning that I can finally take all my big stuff photographed but I have to play some more with the camera and the light!



This is one of my latest paintjobs, and the result of my new photo settings. I have to make a new background though, until then the pure white will have to do.



I would love to hear what you think, especially on the quality of the picture as I am working hard to improve on that section... ah and as always take some time to leave me a vote on CoolMiniOrNot ;)

waiting my lightbox...

Hi all!

I just wanted you to know that I have bought a new lightbox and I have halted all new photo taking waiting for its arrival. I'm kinda sick on how bad my pictures are and I am trying to improve them, so I thought that this little fella would actually help...


Waiting to be photographed are the freshly painted additions to the Blood Angels commission I am working on, an old skool librarian on foot and a libby with jump pack. I am also building up my Imperial Fists so more to be expected on this field too!

Blood Angels Techmarine with Servo Harness

Hello everyone!



This time I have another piece of the Blood Angels commission I am currently working on these days, a Tech Marine with servo harness. A great model but there are so much going on that I think it may be a little over the top.



I have also painted the limited edition piece in the past, you can check him out in CoolMiniOrNot.

I'm pretty much pleased with how it came out, as always photographing red is a complete nightmaire. Anywayz, tell me what you think and maybe leave me a vote as always! ;)

Blood Angels Vanguard Veteran Sergeant with Jump Pack



Project Blood Angels is slowly but steadily progressing and I have just finished another addition to my friend's army, the direct only Vet sergeant with jump pack!



Its a wonderful model with clear details and really fun to paint. I have some objections with the sculpt of the head but other than that I think its a wonderful addition to a BA army. I didn't try anything fancy here, just some extreme highlights on the power sword which I thing turned out ok. 

Again photographing red turns out to be a nightmaire, the highlights are vanished... :( but you can get an idea...

You can also leave a vote on CoolMiniOrNot as usual ;)

EDIT: Taking the advice of Antipope I shot the model again and I think that the result is far better now! Many thanks for you tip! XD

Astorath the Grim featured in ALL THINGS FETT Blog


I just wanted to let everyone know that Astorath had been featured in this great Blog held by CounterFett here :
http://counterfett.blogspot.com/2010/09/terrific-painter-at-hot-new-blog.html

I must say that I am really honoured by the kind words and the least I can do is to urge my readers to follow this great blog as well!

Astorath the Grim

Hello everyone!!



I have been telling you about my work on Astorath the Grim the past couple of weeks. Well I have managed to pull out some time and finish him (this really sounded like Mortal Kombat ... :P) So here he is...


I really like the way the scenic base from Micro Arts blended with the dynamic pose of the model harmonically. I am happy with the final result, really nice model and very detailed. So I would be happy to hear your thoughts and opinions on him.

I am continuing my work on the rest of the Blood Angels project, more updates soon !

One final thing, FTW blog roll (link to the sidebar...) have started a collaborate post on photographing minatures based on the combined experience of all the bloggers out there. I will be posting my way soon, although its far from being perfect, I think it quite works some times (not really happy with the photo of Astorath though... :(  )

Anyways, take care everyone!! 

EDIT  I have forgotten to give you the link to the CoolMiniOrNot voting page as with any new model I finish, here it is in case you would like to leave me a vote or a comment! :) http://coolminiornot.com/259948

One more tourney is over...

...and what a great time it was!! Our team placed second overall (I remind you it was a doubles tournament) and I must say I played one of the best battles with a rather interesting Ork army. As you can see from the pics it was a fully blown up Nob Biker Speed Freek WAAAGH!! with a double Warboss mayhem!!


Uhh... sir I think we may have a problem....! 

It was so tense trying to take all these double wounded T5 frenzied killing machines, it almost made me homesick of my own orks ...

Heres a more panoramic view of the same caption, one click before the massive close combat started!



Things didn't go so well for my Termies lurking in the Raider (mainly due to my inability to roll my 2+ Armor saves... :S ) but the tides of the battle eventually turned mainly due to the great firepower that we had... 

Great stuff... thats why I love this game so much!!

On to the painting table once again, more updates soon!!

new commission ... and then some!

Hello everyone! It's been quite a while but I've been busy as hell for the past couple of weeks and the scedule won't seem to change for the next 2 as well so updates will be scarce...

On the bright side, I've got 2 more commission jobs settled, A Blood Angels and an Eldar army. I've started working on some Swooping Hawks as you can see from the picture


I have also started work on the Blood Angels part of the commission with a wonderful new model, Asorath the Grim. Pics of him soon as I am ready to finish him, most probably today!

Last but not least, tommorow I will be attending a doubles 40K Tournament and I will give you a report as soon as I can, so keep an eye on this space.

Take care everyone!!

Blood Angels Librarian with jump pack

Hi there! I have been busy with my commission stuff lately and updates were quite low... but this is about to change. I have finished a Librarian, a really sweet conversion from a friend of mine that I painted for his army. More BA stuff to come so keep your eyes peeled
It would be quite nice of you if you could leave me a vote on CoolMiniOrNot





I have also been working on my Imperial Fists army, mainly on Land Raiders (yes thats a plural there ... XD) so again wait for updates! It has been a Space Marine feast the last couple of months

So I would like to hear your comments on this one, more to come!
