Monthly Vow January to February The 12th.

 As I said last month, I'm giving myself a bit of extra time to finish this month and/or get half of what is said I'd do done.



January Plan;

Finish the dreads I didn't get done, finish the Satanine Terminators possibly, paint the Solitaire I have knocking around, definitely. If I get far enough with those, start on the Khorne Greigor Fell Hand War Band, hopefully those rumours of a hunter unit for Chaos will be a bit more solid by then and I can budget for those, as pretty much everything else has been bought, I wrote a wishlist army list and I did put a defiler on it, so do I wait for the new kit or buy the old one? . While unlikely, there is a Fabulous Bill in the To Do pile I can add to this army in a "well he's chaos as well" way.

Review Time. 

The Resin Leviathan Easier To Build Than Plastic Kit. 

Strange head line I know, I'd lost the instructions for the resin version so was matching the bits to images on the plastic instructions. It's so much easier to build. 



Finished the big guy, well almost. 

I just need to find where I left all those blank tilt shields to give this one his heraldry.

The resin Leviathan dread is much easier to build than the plastic, yes the plastic kit is expert but good grief guys. Not everyone has the eyes of a 30 year old any more.

Next up was the Satanine Dread. 



The assembly is a bit fiddly, a couple of bits could have better instructions, like that tiny bit on the legs, those aside I do like how it looks.



The wet blending was fun and next up is Marbas, the 2nd Leviathan and the Chaplin dread. Still annoyed about my coffee though.


Yeah, now it's finished I can see the mistakes I made with assembly, but I do like how well this has turned out.


The Chaplin dread was bought off a mate of mine, it was mostly primed black, I went over that with a mixed base coat of black and Caliban Green and I mucked around with the wings and skull, starting with an ushabati bone base coat and working up from there.



Leviathan 2 was finished with the weapons arms getting the details done.


There are a few differences between the plastic and resin version and I'm unsure if I'm going to get a 3rd version, but I'd go resin over plastic if I did and get a couple of weapon sprues.
