Showcase: Raptors Rhino APC

The Rhino is now complete! Please enjoy these photos.

Huzzah Hobbies Painting Contest

I have finished my next model for the Huzzah Hobbies Painting contest that is rapidly approaching on August 18th. The model is a Space Marine Rhino APC painted in the Raptors chapter colors. The model features a painted interior and is fully weathered with paint chipping, rust & grime stains, and dried mud. The model will be mounted (and removable) on a wooden plaque for the contest.

As I was unsatisfied with the results of my last Stormtalon (even though the model is incomplete), I have begun work on the next one. Also, I am taking pictures of the painting process so I can make a tutorial on how I did it. Look forward to that in coming posts as well as pictures of the complete Rhino.

Showcase: Grey Knight Terminator Display Board

The display board is nearing 100% completion and I am very pleased with the results. The models themselves need a little touching up, but nothing major. I will give a detailed post on how I created the display in a later post.

Painting Contest

With the Grey Knight Terminators nearing completion, I need to start turning my attention to my next entry into my local painting contest. I would like to enter a vehicle into the contest, but I have not decided which one I should paint. I have a few ideas, but nothing set in stone.

New Grey Knight project...

About a week ago, I was at my local hobby shop, Huzzah Hobbies, and the owner Chris invite me to stay for my first game of 40K.

 We had some time to kill waiting for some more players and he asked me when I will bring in some of the models I've painted. I've been buying from him for about 4 of the 6 months I've been in to the hobby (I quickly learned that GW shops are too pushy and expensive). Since I came straight from work, I had nothing with me except my phone. I showed him some pictures and he seemed genuinely impressed by my work. He then asked me to submit an entry in the painting contest for his shops' birthday. So this long winded story is how we get to Grey Knights...

Stormtalon Gunship WIP

So far this thing has been a blast to paint! Painting it sub-assemblies has been easier than I originally thought and I am currently 70% complete!

Stormtalon Gunship

I got my hands on one of these bad boys today. There has been a lot of talk around the web about how much people dislike this model. Personally, I enjoy the look and I feel that it fits with the Space Marine aesthetic perfectly.
