I usually listen to music when working on my minis... anything I put on TV would likely be too distracting lol

I've almost finished my Space Crusade Blood Angels, I'll post some pics of them soonish

Here's my Space Hulk stuff.

MY HOLY ROMAN SPESS MAHRINES (Blood Angel Chapter):





MY DREAD HIVE OF GENESTEALERS (Who don't actually have a name...hive fleet Terrachnia?):





I've still got a few bits to finish painting (namely, that honored hero's less than honored body), but otherwise, it's ready to play. And I feel pretty good about it, too. No complaints with either the Terminators or the Genestealers.

I'll get my Warmachine stuff up soon, I hope. Apparently, I never finished basing them. Annoying how often I do that. Put a nice coat of sand on the base, then walk away into the sunset.

Pictures aren't too great either. I lost both my photo zone and my super bright light.

I blame blacksmithing.

nice work, thanks for sharing!

I really dig the Blood Angels dude. Well done! I like the way you did the blade on the power sword too.

I also like the contrast of the blue/white scheme for the Genestealers, which are also well done. Definitely NOT the same Space Hulk from when I was a lad. I'll have to dig out a couple of the old Terminators and show you what they were like.

Thanks. ^_^

And Arctic, I'd love that if it isn't too much trouble. XD

I'm having a surprisingly hard time finding anyone that will play it with me, however. -_- I knew this beforehand, but, you know. Hopes. <3

I feel your pain brother. I have a Warmachine and a Bolt Action army just sitting there... no opponent.

Will try and get those pics for you tonight.

Ok here are some pics of the Terminators I found in my bitz box. I had painted them when I was in high school for my Space Marine army.

This one was meant to be a Librarian but at the time I had the idea of making it a Grey Knight, thus the paint color. He's missing the power axe.



And here are some views of a regular Terminator







Terrible, terrible sculpt. The old Space Hulk did not emphasize model quality... Though the Genestealers are pretty good from that set.

They still look awesome. ^_^ I can see the detail differences in the sculpt, though. Thank you for showing me! I also like the idea of the Librarian being a Grey Knight...For whatever reason, I decided to paint them close to the BA scheme. Now, I wish I'd gone Salamanders.

Actually, I had the same idea. But these Terminators are all sculpted to only fit together one way. The storm shield guy was sculpted in such a way that the shield only fit on his torso, and the sergeant's cape was sculpted in two halves, one on his body, the other attached to his arm. ETC with the rest of them. I don't know if that's normal or not, but there's no gear customization. Most of it "snapped" together with plastic pins. I understand why they did it that way, but I was sort of hoping that it would be a normal model kit (if it's not) I could magnetize and then repurpose later (if I started a Spess Mahrine army).

I bought a pack of metal Grey Knights Terminators years ago because I thought they looked awesome.
I painted them in my custom chapter colours rather than as Grey Knights...

I was thinking of using the Captain as a Librarian in Terminator armor if I ever get to play a proper game =P

Cool. ^_^

What are your custom colors?

Mostly white, with a mix of red, gunmetal and occasionally gold trim.

The average marine is white base, with red or gunmetal trim on the shoulders, depending on model mould sometimes red or metal elbow and/or knee pads.

My Sergents and specialists usually have red cloaks (if they have cloaks) and gold trim etc.

That sounds good looking on some marines.

So recently I started collecting a Flames of War army. Flames of War is a 15mm World War II game. I've never had a 15mm army before so this is all new. I started with one of their resin/metal models, a T-34. (I'm playing USSR)

Awesome! That looks great. ^_^ What made you go with USSR? And have you tried Flames of War out yet?

Also, off the top of your head, do you know what 15mm works out to be?

Both Wal-Mart and Hobby Lobby have some 1:35 scale tank models on clearance I've been eyeing. Knowing I could, possibly, perhaps, at some point in the future, maybe work them into an army for a legit game, could push the buy/don't buy meter into the green zone.
