Here are some completed projects as of late. I’ll be adding them to the Gallery shortly.

Space Wolves Grey Knights
Here are some Space Wolves Grey Hunters (Wolf Guard in the middle) to test how The Army Painter Quickshade performed on models that were not painted with brownish hues. These were some extra models I had stripped in Simple Green that were in rough shape to begin with. With the help of my friend Marq, I had enough Space Wolf bits to start making an army for myself while other projects are on the drying rack.
I needed something quick and simple since I don’t have much time to work on my own stuff. All the shading was done with the quickshade. The armor was primed/based with Army Painter Wolf Grey spray primer. The gold was Vallejo Model Air Gold and the rest of the colors were a mix of GW foundation and Vallejo Heavy Opaque paints. Only the wolf tails got 3 different colors along them to transition the base color of the fur. These guys were all done in one sitting and the AP Dip was brushed on so I had more control to prevent it going onto the bases.
The bases started out exactly like the lava bases I did for the Grey Knights on my previous post. This time I made the bottom of the base white along with more white stippled onto the tops of the rock before I glued on Gale Force Nine now effecta with PVA glue.
Let me know if you have any questions. Enjoy
Grey Knights on Lava Bases
Here is a finished squad of Grey Knights. I like the way the lava bases turned out overall. We also went with a airbrushed fade for the Force Weapons. I’m glad we did since I like it better than the lightning look. Between the bases and force weapons I hope this make them stand out a bit more than most other GKs.
Daemon Prince Finished
Here is the finished pics of the Green Daemon Prince after much delay. Hope you all like it. The Reaper Master Series paints are not working out for me so far and will not be using them for large surfaces. It is nice because they can get nice thin layers without having to use additives, but many of these layers dissolve (best word I can use to describe it) after your put varnish on it. I even painted the Vallejo Satin Varnish on with a brush and this happened. Not just an aerosol issue. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.
Daemon Prince Update
Quick long overdue update one of the magnetized daemon princes I am doing.Need more work to finish up the wings and arms, as well as the alternate head, arms, and back spikes used to swap out that aren’t pictured. Plan to have it done to ship before the weekend. I’ll have more pics of all the options before it gets packed up.
Magnetized Daemon Prince WIP
Here is a WIP of the Green Magnetized daemon prince I am working on currently. Getting a feel for what colors I am going for with the spine and claws, I think a darker brown will look better than a bright bone. The yellow is being used as a tie in color for the rest of the army and actually gives it a nice contrast. I have been using a reaper maseter series triad for the skin, but will probably not be using them much after this since I don’t like the way they differently than they appear when wet. It has a matte, almost chalky finish to it when dry. It it also a thin paint and sometimes when glazing over some thin layers to blend them they will ‘dissolve’ and actually cause a harsher line. Oh well, just taking a bit longer going over the layers to smooth the transitions. Hope you all enjoy.
Finished Grey Knight on Lava Base
Here is the first of the Grey Knights finished so I could get the green light on the rest of them from my customer. He pretty much wanted to stick with the book color sheme and I gave some blue glowing lenses and a lightning pattern on the force sword. Really happy with how the lava bases are turning out. the Paladin and Dread Knight bases have even more room for the cracked effect. Hope you all enjoy!
Grey Knight WIPs
Here are a couple quick pics of the Grey Knights I am working on. I used the same cork technique on the bases for the daemon princes, but instead of a rocky snow base, these will painted up a lava bases. Just getting the base colors down, I’ll get some shading done and post more pics up soon.
Magnetized Chaos Daemon Princes WIP
Back on the horse with some updates. Here are some WIP pics of 2 of 3 Magnetized Chaos Daemon Princes I am working on. I used 3/16″ whenever I could and 1/8″ for smaller spots. Mainly just the pre-shading is done and a couple thin layers to test the color scheme and send to the customer for approval. They all are using a cork base that will be used as a snow theme and I have pinned the feet through (don’t just glue it to cork, you’re asking for trouble) the plastic base for durability.
Each one has alternate arms and heads. They will all have wings and either spikes or the marine packs depending on the chest that was used. I’ll probably be focusing on one to finish and keep updated pics and work on the other two while this one is drying.
I got these to finish, plus more Blood Angels, Space Wolves, and Grey Knights in the queue. Stay tuned!
