New Mugen Ra

 Yes, yes I am buying this when it's released, because reasons.

And to compare it to the old, metal one of course, that I have in a box upstairs. 

Primaris Lieutenant Of The Morning Star

I started the Lieutenant, actually got it finished.

I used ruin lord brass base coat, with a reikland flesh wash, then a coat of brass Scorpion and a highlight of Cynoptek alloy, the tabard was the Coelia Greenshade wash, still needs a highlight though. I used green on the scroll for the name to tie things together. The leather was the agrax earthshade leather process. 

Storm Shield

 Started the storm Shield for the Lieutenant, the suggestion from my mate who set the challenge was brass armour for the marines and the Dreadnought was supposed to look like cedar wood. I took the opportunity to attempt a colour trail with the shield, using the balor brown as a base coat with a reikland flesh wash. I went over the raised areas with runelord brass base coat. 

Need to touch up the scroll and the prity seals. 

The skulls I'm thinking of doing an agrax earthshade, then the brass Scorpion with a stormhost silver highlight. The wax seals I'm thinking of doing Thousand Sons blue. 

First Painted Items Of 2022

 To sort out my first painting challenge of 2022 I made a start on the Eldar, with the pink armour and and grey robes with bone weapons and will do the belts with the agrax leather. Bases I'm thinking of astrogranite with Averland Sunset base coat and agrax earthshade wash.

Got the Primaris Lieutenant base coated in ushabati bone, need to give it another coat then to start on the Coelia Greenshade wash on the robes, I've dug a pot of brass rune lord and brass Scorpion, thinking of using the reikland flesh wash on that, as well as the agrax earthshade washes on the leather. 

First Thing Built

 

The first thing I've built this year is the Blackstone Ranger, for now this has been boxed up and I need to check what colour I was painting these, I think it was pink armour with grey robes and bone weapons,in a challenge from a mate. There is a Warlock / Farseer knocking around to go with this. For the cloaks I'm planning to start with corvus black and get lighter from there. 

There are 3 Astartes to go in this with a Primaris LT, an Ezikael and a Cypher with bronze armour and green robes, I've already decided that the robes are going to be Coelia Greenshade.
