Christmas Present form Zebulon

Hi all,

I hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Year.

Today I bring a post on what Zebulon got me for Christmas. I've wanted the model for quite a while is one of my favourite characters in the Black Library books. Zebulon got me Colonel Commissar Ibram Gaunt and painted him up as well. I have to apologise that the pictures are not the best as I didn't have time to set up the light I normally use when taking photo's for the blog. So here we are some pictures of my Christmas present. 

Tarnhelm 3rd Lord Commissar

Hi all

Today I bring a 40k post for your enjoyment. I've been working on this model for quite a while and I finally got it finished the other day. I would have posted it then but that night I lost the internet for 6 days as it got changed over. What bad timing lol. The model in question is my Commissar Lord. I got it a while ago and have been working on it on and off for a while. Other projects got started and I took up Dystopian Wars so it got pushed further down my queue of unpainted models. However I got tired of it sat on my desk so I got it painted up.

So have a look at the pictures and see what you think.

V For Victory!: The Vostroyan Option

Hi all,

well today I bring the start of my new slow burner project (as if I don't have enough already!). With all the recent chatter about allies being reintroduced into the 6th Ed rules, I though I might as well try and get a jump start on adding another ally option to my armies. The current rumours have the Tau being protected by the Space Marines, which for me is great! Ultras and Tau in perfect harmony! However I fancied adding something different, just for a bit of variation model wise and tactically too!

Walk This Way

Hi all

Today I bring some pictures of a new unit for my Tarnhelm 3rd. The unit in question is a new sentinal. I've been wanting another sentinal for a while now. I'm sure Zebulon could back me up on that seen as everytime we've discussed what we're adding to each of our armies next, a sentinal has always come up on my list of what I wanted to add to my Tarnhelm 3rd.

So I finally got round to getting one about 2 weeks ago. No it hasn't taken me two weeks to paint it. I just didn't get round to it until about 2 days ago. After a few hours of painting over a couple of days I finally finished it. Which means its no longer taking up space on an already over crowded paint station (It really is crowded. I have so many things to paint!).

Anyway on with some pictures.

I Find Your Lack of Courage........Disturbing

 Hi all

Today I have some pictures of the newest memeber of the Tarnhelm 3rd. I decided that another commissar wouldn't go amiss in my army so I headed down to my local GW and got this guy.
Overall i am very happy with how he's turned out. I think my favourite part is the great big metal powerfist. You really don't want to mess with him (or disturb his reading). I'll come up with a backstory for him at some point. I think he'll be the senior but widely hated commissar of the regiment. I've decided the other two I have are of the opinion that its better to get the men to do things through positive actions and encouraging words, the gaunt/cain approach as I would call it. This guy is gonna be the complete opposite.

More Pics

HI all Blackmane here.

Today I bring yet more pics. There seems to have been a constant stream of them as of late. Anyway, lets get them up.

Iron, Shell's and Sniper's

Hello Blackmane here.

Today I have some pictures of some of my latest models thats I've finished.

First up we have some Space Wolf stuff.

Consider yourself Vanquished!

Hi all Blackmane here.

Today I recieved my new Leman Russ tank in the post. And as soon as I had finished working some more on the river sections (See Scenery: Project River), I set to work assembling my new tank.

Burn the Traitors!

Hi all, Blackmane here again.

Today I bring the last of the picture's I've taken.

There are only 3 picture's and they're all of pretty much the same thing.

I'm Back....Again

Hi all Blackmane here.

Its been a while since I posted anything and due to lots of painting I haven't taken or posted any pictures on the blog. I'll try and get some taken over the next few days and get them up.

More Pics

Hi all.

So two posts in as many days, its almost unheard of. Anyway on to the pictures.

 

So first up we have the first three Wolf Guard to complete the squad of 5 in my previous pictures post. There isn't much more to say about them really. Its clear what they're armed with and I'm happy with how they've turned out.

  

Round Up

 

First up my Space Wolves. I have bought myself a techmarine to turn into an Iron Priest. So far I've changed the power axe into a thunder hammer and added a small wold pelt to the front of the tech marine. I've done a couple of othe rlittle pieces to him and more will be doe over the next few days.

I've also been working on the other 5 members of my wolf guard in power armour pack. They're now almost finished and just require a few finishing details like the gems that need doing and a few other minor details.

Blackmane Post 4

Ok. I've missed another week so it won't be a weekly post anymore for the time been. It will just be as and when I can add a post about what kind of thinsg i've been up too.

So lets get down to what i've been up too since my last post.

Weekly Blackmane Post - 3

So I may have missed a week or two, thats all down to a computer problem.

Anyway on with an update.

So since my last post I have managed to finish my Lukas the Trickster model. I have to admit I may have out done myself again and I didn't think I could do better than I did on Njal.

Weekly Blackmane Post - 1

Ok so I have deicided to try and do a weekly update on all the things i'm working on as well as other updates about more specific things.

Firstly a quick update on the Space Wolves. I finished painting my Njal model and i think its possibly one of the best if not the best model i've painted. Zebulon would possibly agree. I've also been busy painting Lukas a little bit at a time. I have also been doing the odd little bit here and there on the rest of the army although I'm not planning on doing much until i get my battleforce so i can add some new things and make al my squads legal again without having to remove a memeber of the squad.

Imperial Armour Vol.1 & 2 Updates

Forgeworld have kindly updated many of the rules from Imperial Armour 1 & 2, to bring them in line with the 5th edition rule book, and not only that, they've put them in 2 handy PDF's for free! Having looked at the PDF's, which deals with Space Marines, Inquisition and Imperial Guard, Im thinking a Helios Landraider might be in order mwahahahahaha, and the best thing about this update? Not only have they updated the rules and stats for each unit, but they've also included the points costs, put this all together and it means that basically theyve released a mini codex of sorts, dealing with armoured vechicles...for free...adds a bit more variety doesnt it?
