February commitment done!

I completed this month's hobby progress challenge. The little guys took longer than expected, partly due to some hobby apathy. I think I will get pics up for the rest of the gaunts so I can start getting them done even though they will be one of my end of the year commitments.

In the meantime here are some more interesting projects I just purchased :)

February Hobby Commitment

Here's my February commitment for the Hobby Progress Challenge: Ten Termagaunts

January Progress Complete

Completed my hobby progress for January. I finished the model with some highlighting and touch ups to the shading. I also finished the base. On to the next unit. 

January Challenge WIP

So here's the start of my January commitment for the hobby progress challenge

Swarmlord base coated

After army painter quick shade

I did see an odd effect. In the pooled area by his front right vent, there is a "webbing effect" that occured after I varnished the model with dull coat. I think it was either too cold when I did it or I didn't let the quickshade dry long enough

After this, I just need to do some highlighting and paint up his base

New attempt at blogging/Joining IC's Hobby Progress Challenge

 So, I'm going to give this whole blogging thing another shot. I'm joining the Independent Character's Hobby Progress Challeng and needed to host my own images, so I figure what the heck, I might as well blog my progress as well ;)

I plan on re-working the site's look as well as buying a photo booth to use with my D-SLR. Unfortunately, due to low batteries you will have to deal with a phone camera for the image of my intended painting project for this month.

Edit: Here is a link to my forum thread for anyone interested

Klink's Kommandos!!

Here's Colonel Klink with his sneaky gits. Hes the leader of the Blood Axe clan in the horde. Its just a start but they are coming together well. I gave Klink dual knives as I may run him as snikrot. Hes got a backpack and some twine that has been fashioned into a rope (which any respectable kommando needs plenty of). I'll show this when a little more progress is made on him.

Next up is a boy with a beany that seems to always be in a heist movie. I don't know how it helps disguise you or anything but it seemed to fit.

Finally I wanted a boy with a standard bandanna mask. Hes rocking plenty of stikkbombs to blow up whatever needs explodin' behind enemy lines.

Emperor's Champion (WIP)

Here's an old limited edition emperor's champion I have. I used to run him back in 3rd edition where any chapter could take one. This was when I ran blood angels. Since Dorn named the first Emperor's champion and he was an imperial fist at the time I figured this would work well in my army. I decided to give him a jump pack so he could be added to my assault squad to give them some extra killing power. I like the ax instead of the black sword since it made him look a bit like an executioner.
