A Bit of Character

Finally this batch of dudes also included a couple of characters, namely Kranon and the sorcerer dude from the dark vengeance box. These models are cool, but really packed full of detail. I also keep on forgetting to leave some panels black, which is quite frustrating. I only remembered to start doing this again on Kranon. Oh well I'm fairly happy with how they turned out.




I put a bit of effort into the power weapons on these and the close combat chosen from last time. I'm fairly happy with the result. Definitely some progress compared to my earlier efforts but i'm still not super happy with them. The large axe looks particularly blotchy...






Proper chuffed with how the maul turned out.

Close Combat Chosen

The rest of the chosen are rounded out with a bunch of dudes with various close combat and power weapons.

On the whole I am really happy with these guys.






I also went to a hike to Hilbre Island with some buddies. It was windy. But awesome...



Coolest ladder I saw that day

Keep Those Standards

Hey hey.

While I have been working through the chosen, a couple of icons and my havoc squad sergeant got mixed in. I bought a crazy pot of metallic blue paint by mistake a while back and I didn't know what to use it on. It works quite well on the first icon I think 

Here they are...




This dude is tiny, I think hes a jarg recast that I got as part of  an ebay thing a while back

I also checked out the Beyond Judge Dredd and Watchmen: The art of John Higgins exhibition that was going on at the Victoria Gallery and Museum at Liverpool uni. It was pretty cool...



And then to top it off, above the gallery was bit of a museum showing some cool bits of tech from when Liverpool Uni was well up there in the field of particle physics. I think a bunch of the approaches developed here went on to inform stuff happening at CERN. That is cool.

This is part of super computer that was put together to do some serious number crunching. Imagine another 9 of these all churning away...
