Hello everyone!

I am really happy to announce that I have just finished this years Dreadtober Challenge from The Broken Paintbrush.

After a month of (not so) hard work, I managed to finish a model that I had it sitting in my closet for the past 4 years (at least). The motivation and inspiration that everyone gave me with their wonderful participations was really outstanding and I can't wait to see everyone's finished models.

Without further ado then, here is my finished addition to my ever-growing Death Guard army.




That said, I tried using some new techniques, mainly with the airbrush. The model was sprayed various bone and white tones to create the main shadows and highlights.

Finally, don't forget to leave me a vote on CoolMiniOrNot if you have the time! :)

Till next time and project, take care!

Hello everyone!

This week I have continued work on my Death Guard Contemptor Dreadnought as part of the Dreadtober Challenge #2 and I must say that I reached a point with weathering that I am happy with. The main colors are finished and I will move on now to the metallics.

I have already did the base colors of the metallics, for both the model and the base. I know that this weeks challenge is the base itself, but I have it already finished since I was lasy enough to use a resin scenic base for my model :P

I have been working on the model for quite a long time, when I realised that I needed to be adding some green too, as the color sceme of the Death Guard has green in it, something that completely slipped my mind. So here I was, completely covering all my hard worked weathering on the shoulder pads and knee pads with green and of course I had to reweather the specific areas again... That cost me some time but it wasn't such a big fuss after all.
That said, here is the current WIPs of my model. There are a lot of things still needed to be done but I think we are getting there...

Hello everyone!

Joe from Broken Paintbrush got me digging up my Forgeworld boxes to build something I have purchased aeons ago with his Dreadtober Challenge #2 , the Contemptor Dreadnought


As you may probably have already seen from the pics, I tried to keep it as simple and original as possible. The model itself is a beauty and I dont want to spoil it with too many conversions. That said, I only added some Death Guard photo ethced iconography that I had laying around, adding to the model fluff and flavor. The model is based on a resin base from http://www.modelsandminis.com/.
Oddly enough, the model proved to be a pain in assembly mostly trying to find the correct pose. I wanted to pose it like it is searching for its next target, setting aside all obstacles in its way.

For the painting part, I am planning to keep it as close as possible with my other Death Guard models, extremely weathered and battle torn.

Keep an eye on further updates as I will start painting it soon, as part of the challenge I must keep the project rolling and finish it by the end of the month.

As always comments and remarks are more than welcome!

Hello everyone!
I have just finished my Grave Warden Terminators that I had been converting the past few days (check my previous post here for all the details and WIP pictures)


I am really happy with the result. I think I managed to get the look I wanted. I would love to hear what you think!

Hello everyone!

It has been a quite a while since I have posted anything about my Death Guard project but I have always been keeping a very close eye on everything Forgeworld releases on Horus Heresy. I have therefore decided to change this by completing a project I had in mind for some time now, making a squad of Grave Warden Terminators.


When I initially started creating my Death Guard army, Forgeworld had just released their Mk2 and 4 armor sets, along with some other cool stuff like the Contemptor Dreadnough. At that time there was no army list available to play these miniatures so I had decided on creating an army based on the Space Marines codex. That said, many things had to be changed so as to be compatible with the Space Marines Army list, and one thing that I really wanted to create was a Terminator squad. At that time I really liked playing with Assault Terminators with Thunder Hammers and therefore the result was something like this...



I had converted some old plastic Terminators using bits from various companies (Chapterhouse studios and MaxMini to name a few, check out my original post here ) This was the original state of the models before the conversion.

That was a long time ago. A lot of things have changed since then, Forgeworld has released 3 Horus Heresy books and boy, did the options available have changed too! There was no longer any need for Thunder Hammer Assault terminators in my army, so I have decided to make a (not so small after all) change of the models to something completely different, Grave Wardens.

For those of you not familiar with the unit, Grave Wardens are a Death Guard specialist Terminator squad armed with grenade launcers and a variety of toxic warfare weapons. More on their fluff can be found here. Foegeworld has released a set of very nice models that you can see here . I have decided though to spare me the money and go for a conversion of the already available models I had.

This was the look I was going for converting my own Terminators.

Hello to everyone!

Its been a while again since my latest post and I have been stalling my hobby progress yet again... work and a terrible loss of inspiration, combined with a hefty temperature raise led me to the inevitable pause of any activity and project. Hopefully I will be able to change this situation next week, thinking of doing something radical for a change...

About a week ago I took part to a really nice local 40K Tournament, full of nice terrain, people, armies and atmosphere, the Independent Club Tournament. This time in conjunction with the main event, was organised a painting competition full of quality entries from various talented Greek artists, you can see some pictures of the whole event over their Facebook page

I have decided to enter the competition with some of my models as well and I have managed to earn the 1st place for my Marshall Durak Rusk Conversion



In the meantime, maybe leave me a vote for Mr Rusk in CoolMiniOrNot if you haven't already! ;)

Last but definitely not least, an extremely cool playlist for your early summer enjoyment! Take care!!

Hello everyone once again.

Another busy month is passing by and this means that hobby time gets cropped. This, combined with the fact that I got a little stuck in my inspiration, lead to the inevitable delay in my follow up post regarding my latest Death Guard squad, the Legion Jetbikes.

I intend to make my Jetbike squadron as unique as possible, creating individual conversions for each model. The first model I created was based on the great Jetbike from Kromlech, a somewhat straightforward coversion. I used the stock model with the only exception of the Heavy Bolter from the Imperial Guard Heavy Weapons kit fitted on top (although I had to saw off the lovely targeting system) to match the rules of the Horus Heresy Army list and of course the rider.

The rider was made using bits from 3 different companies, Games Workshop Space Marine Legs, Anvil Industries torso from their steam lords range (great alternative pre-heresy material) and Forgeworld helmet, shoulder pads and backpack.


I have been meaning to use a specific kit for my next Jetbike, the Dystopian Legion Jetbike  mainly because I just love the model. Truth is I didn't realise that it would need so much work to bring it to Warhammer status. It is significantly smaller than any other Jetbike model out there, and it has a weird angle due to its different propulsion system that comes from underneath the vehicle. Great idea but it doesn't fit with what I want my bikes to look like. So I decided to make some heavy changes on this one..and the result was something like this



The main body of the Dystopian bike was used as well as many of the bits that came with it. I also used many bits from a small company called Ramshackle Games, it has a great range of all sorts of vehicle bits that can be used in any kind of conversion and they served really great as exhaustion pipes here giving that streamline look I was searching for. To finish things up for the front of the vehicle, I added a Heavy Bolter underneath taken from a Land Speeder kit this time, sawing off the targeter to make it more fitting to be glued upside down.

the only thing that was still bothering me was the rear of the bike. I was really stuck out of ideas, when suddenly my eye fell to an old 1:72 airplane kit I had lying around in my workshop (good thing to have stuff lying around, its a great inspiration!). I realized that I could use the front end of the hull as it had these nice little exhausts coming out as well as the tail wings. Some hacking, slashing and sanding minutes later and the result was a new tail for my jetbike and my flying Frankenstein was ready :P

The bases are created using an old basing kit from Games Workshop. I found them perfect to create a flying base out of these, drilling a steel wire in the middle and finishing the whole thing with rubble.

2 finished, 2 more to go... stay tuned for more updates soon as I take a break from intense converting and take these to the painting booth! I would love to hear what you people think!

Musical inspiration could only be that song! Till next time, enjoy!!

It has been quite a long since my last post and I feel its time for some more work on my Death Guard project! 

So this is my latest creation, the birth of my Death Guard Legion Jetbike squad. Its still WIP so modifications will be made, but I would like to hear your opinions on this. The bike is from Kromlech  and there is a multitude of bits and pieces from FW and GW as always! 

Hi everyone!

Following my previous post, I have finally finished painting my conversion of Death Guard Marshal Durak Rask.





Last but not least, some music for inspiration!
