25th GW Anniversary Space Marine

Got the 25th 40k Anniversary Space Marine today. This is my first Finecast Miniature and I am not so happy with it. The Details are very fine and sharp, but there are also big mistakes.

It will be a lot of work to fix the model.

Holes in the Powerfist

Big hole in the backpack.

It will be a lot of work to fix this. The helmet is completely useless and out of phase. Must change it

Was hoping this special anniversary model will be perfectly molded. Maybe Games Workshop will fix all the problems of casting in the future.

Legion of Everblight - Shredder

Always change projects to keep being motivated. For me it is impossible to paint an entire amry at once. :) This time I painted 4 Shredders form the Legion of Everblight. One of four fractions of the Tabletop-game Hordes which is fully compatible to Warmachine. Also from Privateer Press.

On this shredders (my very first Everblight Miniatures) I tried different colors for the horns. To get a better feeling to find a good color schema.

20 Ork Boyz from Black Reach

It was impossible to get them all on one photo in good quality, so I made it in steps. Five at a time. Now there are (just) two Deffkoptas left from the Black Reach Starter Box and I have them all done.


Here a little preview of what will come next:

[WIP] Warriors of Apoc - Bases (2)

First painting steps are done. Primed everything with the Airbrush in VMA(71056)black grey and dry-brushed smoothly with VMC(155)light grey.

[WIP] Warriors of Apoc - Bases

Today is the Start of a new Project. The Warriors of Apoc the new line WarCast from Avatars of War. They are not launcht yet but pre-ordered. Waiting...
This does not means to start with something. So I begin with the bases which I got yesterday from Fenris Games. They are doing high quality Resin Bases for a more fair price. So I begin with 20 and prepare them.

First of all wash the resin parts in soap-water.

 Let them dry and ready for priming.

Skaven Ratogre 2

Second one is ready to be shown. Isn't he lovely.
Also made a new picture of the previous Ratogre.

Skaven Ratogre 1

Yesterday at night the first Rat Ogre was finished. Second is on the way with their tamer. Like this model. The Rat Ogres from the starter box look pretty and fit better to the new clanrats.

Killa Kans [2]

Oh yeah! All three are finished. The left one was already shown. I have approved him a little bit. A few wires were painted in a dar orange.

The right one is painted in the same way as the first.
Old Stompy was painted slightly different no to go to much away from the group look. Spray primed him in Gunmetal to quicken it up. After that I washed it completely with black ink. When this was dry I put some dots of smoke here and there to achieve a more rusted look. Because this one has fought many battles. Again to spare time I dry-brushed him with chrome. Only the main body was carefully edge highlighted. Finally some details were added and finished is the tree trashcan group.
