Well another update, since i wanted to work more on my beserkers so that i could mix up what im working on. I started work on the leader of the squad and since i wanted each squad leader to be easily identifiable i used an old chaos lieutenant model which i had, changed the head and the gun. Im happy with both the NMM and the reds, i wanted to keep the cloak nice and dark so not to upset the balance of colours on the model but it was kind of boring so i painted a bit of freehand on the back to improve my skills. Anyway comments and criticisms are welcome....

Ok for a long overdue update on my wip i managed to finish painting a squad of tsons marines and another terminator (which i haven't shown). I think individually im happy with the quality of the painting in general but as a unit they do look nice together, especially since they will be used for tabletop gaming. I've spent the last couple days putting together some khorne beserkers so that i can mix up the colour palette im painting since it can get a bit boring when you're army building. I know im bad at rushing a paint job if im getting a bit bored, so i don't want to fall into that trap. Anyway comments and criticisms welcome.

Well after about 4 days of painting (after work of course ;)) i managed to finish painting this terminator as a test model. Im happy with the results but i still think the metal models are really static and im not keen on painting metal models. But anyway the blending of it all is nice and i was trying some different techniques too. I generally work from dark to light when painting but this time on the blue and greys i worked from medium colour and shaded and highlighted. It was quite fun and i think the effects are really good. Still practicing with glazing and making my blends as smooth as i can. Anyway i'll let you make that judgement, comments and criticisms are welcome.

Well i finished painting another tsons marine, but i wanted to do a test model with the terminators, and so far its looking pretty good but i do have some regrets not getting a plastic boxed set but i think i will do when FW release some tsons conversion bits. Anyway enjoy the wip, its not done yet.

Well as a quick update, i've now put together 12 more rubric marine and 5 tzeentch terminators with lord. But i also managed to finish painting a sorcerer for my first squad in about 10 hours, i think its not bad work for tabletop quality. The freehand was fun especially on the shoulder pad and parchment, Im pretty happy with this guy. Anyway your thoughts and criticisms are welcome as always.
