Blog moving...

I'm moving the painting blog to tumblr as it is incredibly time consuming to upload photos to BlogSpot and to then manage the post. Future postings will be here for all WIP and miniatures : http://enervix.tumblr.com/

Wall of Martyrs

I'm loving the Wall of Martyrs scenery that Games Workshop have put out so far. I've grabbed a bunker, the defence line, the defence emplacement and a firestorm redoubt.. Of these I've only managed the emplacement, half of the line and the bunker to be completely painted. The firestorm redoubt is assembled but needs a good basecoat before I can even start..

ETL 2 - Completed Pictures

Righty! Finally managed to finish everything that I vowed for ETL2.. and I thought I would have had all this completed ages ago.. but clearly not.. the Ravenwing Black Knights took ages as there is a phenomenal level of detail on the models.. Painting the Land Raider Crusader wasn't as tough as I thought it would be, and painting it in pieces and then assembling it was a brilliant move. Eventually I will learn how to get the whole thing put together without any ropey gaps..

I also screwed up the math in the previous post. I was off 20 points on the Land Speeder Vengeance.

Anyway.. on to the pictures:

The whole vow all together:

ETL 2 - First Vow - Works in Progress

So I've folded to a new painting contest. I shall be doing ETL 2 at bolterandchainsword.com. My first vow is as follows:
1 5 man unit of Deathwing Knights with Perfidious Relic of the Unforgiven - 245 points
1 Land Raider Crusader with Multi-Melta & Hunter Killer Missile & Deathwing Vehicle Upgrade - 300 points
1 Drop Pod Transport with Deathwind Missile Launcher - 50 points
1 Belial - 190 points
1 Ravenwing Landspeeder with Multi Melta - 70 points
1 Ravenwing Landspeeder Vengeance with Assault Cannon - 140 points
1 6 man unit of Ravenwing Black Knights including Melta Bombs and a Power Weapon for the Huntmaster - 269 points
This gives a total of 1264 points for the first vow.
Work in progress shots are below and will be added to as I finish constructing the last few models!

More Tyranids...

So I've decided to join the E Tenebrae Lux contest on bolterandchainsword.com so I'm putting my Tyranids on hold. So far I've managed a Carnifex, 2 Warriors and 4 Hormagaunts in pretty short order.. Photos below:

As a group from the front:



Warrior from the side so you can see the simplistic details on the weapon:

Carnifex

Finally finished the Carnifex.. and I'm quite happy with the outcome. In the future I'd definitely paint this in stages with the legs separate from the body and the scything arms separate from the body.

Honoured Imperium - Completed

Finally got round to finishing off two of the three parts to the Honoured Imperium box. The statue and the Aquila. Just the broken window next! I've also dug out some tyranids from the attic and have come up with a relatively simple paint scheme for them. I've included a gaunt below.
