Deathwing 3 and some terrain

Well, I have been busy painting away. I have finished of the Librarian in Terminator armour for the Deathwing. The model is from the Space Hulk set, with most of the Blood Angel motifs shaved off. I also cut down the shoulder pad and added a Dark Angels one from my bits box.

 I also made a start on the next squad. Hope to get them primed before the next game!

I have also been playing a few games of Middle -Earth strategy Battle Game with my sons. It has been good fun, so I got round to getting a bit of terrain done for the grass mat.

 

I got these from a railway hobby shop that I found just 2 minutes from my new house. They have a lot of very cool stuff there, and a plethora of paints and such. So I can forsee I will spend a lot of time there in the future. 

These trees and underbrush are from that shop, from the railway section. They look very nice, though I understand I need to spray it with a mixture of PVA, water and something else? I need more research in order to know what to spray it with to get it to set. Still, very happy with them.

I do have a game coming up, in theory, so I will try and get some terrain ready for it and if I can paint a couple of terminators. 

Back to it!

Thanks for looking!

Deathwing part 2

Finshed off some more of my Deathwing!

Firstly though, I thought i'd post why I have gone with the colour scheme white instead of the more common 'bone' armour.

For a long time, I have been a big fan of Space Hulk, and while doing some research on what to paint these models, I came across an old PC game that I quite forgot that I had.

 I absolutely loved that intro sequence, especially with the assault cannon blasting the wall bursting with genestealers! So cool!

 I even came across the old novel Deathwing, which cites the reason why they coloured their armour white.

 And of course, the latest game, which is very atmospheric, and great fun trudging through the derelict ships that comprise of a space hulk.

 So with that in mind, I went with white, as it felt more old school (which is what i like) and harkens back to so many cool Space Hulk inspired experiences.

 With that, I managed to finish Belial, despite being resin, wasn't too bad, though the sword unusable, so had to replace it with the Deathwing box sword. I also added a cape from the same box, as it looked the part.

 Close up of the sergeant. I removed the feathers at the top, as I wasn't a fan.

 I magnetized this one, so I can change his loadout. Should be useful when I use him for Space Hulk games.

 Group shot of my painted forces so far.

And my wip Librarian, from the Space Hulk set. Hope to have him ready before the next planned game against Genestealer Cults.

Anyways, thanks for looking.
