And done...

And hes done. Without a doubt the best painted of all my wraithlords (and probably the rest of my army) hes going to make a fine centre point. The swords worked quite well i think, maybe a bit more practise in the future on things.

Just delved into my army case for the next thing to paint. Got Fuegan, Karandaras, a guardian weapon platform that needs fixing/magnetising and the black reach marine commander. Those should keep me entertained for the next few days.

Going home this weekend for parents 25th wedding anniversary so won't get much done. Then got my girlfriends parents, also 25th anniversary week after that so another long trip.

Upon this rock, he dies

So due to bad weather my painting hours have been short of late, so last two days i've only got about 4-5 hours in (unemployment does have its benefits. Being unemployed gives me time to paint, but no money to buy models with. Getting a job would provide said money, but alas no time to paint)

The base is now done...i think. Don't think theres anything outstanding. This is actual the first space marine i ever painted. Therefore it had to be a space smurf on that slat of ferrocrete. It will also be the last ultramarine ever do as other than one casulty being done in the colours of my friends marines (who is going on fliers base as a kill trophy) from now on they will be done in the colours of my custom chapter (which i have the ideas for but army is well down the line).

Thinking i'm going to push myself on this model, got ideas for the power swords that are probably beyond my ability but gonna give them a try. Hope for better weather and more painting time in!

Combat Wraithlord

Next wraithlord. Wanted something a little different to the standard so used the marine casulty from the space marine casultie set, lying propped up against the ruins of an imperial city wildly firing his bolt pistol into the 25 foot creature as it pins the marine down and puts the sword to his neck. Also enacted another wish for a wraithlord by giving him a 2nd sword, pointing backwards in a back hand martial stance. Then 2 scatterlasers (obv counts as one, not two or twinlinked for the rules) to the arms for a Warmachine look.

Once this is done I only have...a few more ideas for custom lords. This is my first shot at converting (even if it is only the bended knee). Be finishing the torso and arms tomorrow...
