Starting a lot of projects

Continuing on with my goal of doing at least fifteen minutes of hobby work per day I have recently started up several new projects that I have been meaning to get around to. 

Zarakynel, Keeper of Secrets!

I finally got around to finishing off this commission paint piece of the Forge World Keeper of Secrets, Zarakynel. This model was a pain to build (each of those spikes on the leg and the breast are individual pieces too tiny to easily handle by hand and too angled to easily handle with tweezers) but a lot of fun to paint. I am really happy with the finished result.

Many Works in Progress!

With as busy as I have been of late with everything, I have been unable to actually post anything up here. While I haven’t actually finished of any new models since my Children of December Malifaux crew, I do have several projects in the works and I thought I should post some of my works in progress.

Khorne Decimator Daemon Engine

Just a quick little post of another commission piece I finished recently: a Khorne Decimator Daemon Engine! 

 

Void Shield Generator!!!

I started a new job last week, so I haven’t been able to get much hobbying or boardgaming in lately. I didn’t want to let this blog drop off the face of the internet again, so I’ll take a moment to brag about what I managed to score last weekend–I was one of only 1000 people (number 691 specifically) to get one of the limited edition Void Shield Generators from GW!!!

New Helbrute!

I just finished off another commission paint job of the brand new Chaos Space Marine Helbrute kit and have to say this is a great kit!

Chaos Space Marines Display

I mentioned a little over a week ago that I was working on a display board for my Chaos Space Marines for a team tournament at a local GW shop. I did end up finishing the display board and models in time, just ran out of time to photograph it all before the tourney.

Time for a more dynamic Imperial Knight

With my first Imperial Knight built, I decided that I should make my second knight more dynamically posed. The only real problem I have with the Imperial Knight Paladin/Errant kit is that the legs are only able to be built in a single pose, as opposed to the other recent large walker models from GW, such as the Riptide and Wraithknight, whose legs have locator pins to lock the legs in a set pose but that can be cut if you want to make them more posable.

The Imperial Knight is closer to battle!

My first Imperial Knight is built and ready for priming as soon as the green stuff sets up! All of the masks on the knight are magnetized to allow them to be swapped on their different mounts and for the knight to wear different masks. I still need to come up with a paint scheme and name for this Freeblade knight, but I am thinking something along the lines of “The Faceless Knight” or “Knight of a Thousand Faces”.

Review of Codex: Imperial Knights

Last weekend I picked up my copy of the latest codex from Games Workshop, Codex: Imperial Knights. This review is more about the story and general impression of the army than a thorough analysis of the competitiveness and viability of this book. This is the first completely new army GW has released in about 10 years and it has the potential to change the face of the 40k universe. When I first heard about the Imperial Knights I was very excited to not only see the new models, which are stunning, but also to read the new fluff and story.
