Monthly Vow 12th of June To The 12th of July.

Let's see, Defiler finished,

Jakhals finished

Lord on Juggernaut finished

Surprise 5 Ultramarines finished 

The other squad in the Hatchette package was 10 Berzerkers, plan A is to build them Saturday the 6th along with the Victrix Honour Guard, paint the squad of 4 first and get the Berzerkers finished in the week, start the Predator Tank, finish the Commissar Greaves Centaur build and then either wait for the last of the Hatchette packages or fingers crossed it should be here, last one was picked up March 29th so fingers crossed I can get these finished before July the 12th and I'm able to start The Terra Australis Chi Visionem 

Plan 

Build the Predator and the last package for this army, the mauler fiend and the last Berzerker squad. 

Paint 20 Berzerkers, Mauler Fiend and Predator, then move forward with the Terra Australis Chi Visionem Battalion. 

Review Time. 

The Defiler {old}. 

Okay for it's age is an amazing kit. 

The joints and articulation are superb and I thought going in I'd hate it as much as it is ugly, but honestly having now built one I love it even more than how ugly it is. 

The Obliteraters. 

Not going lie, these Rat Ogers are wrong minis for this but as they were cheap in the Age Of Sigma part work it was a bargain and a fun challenge to make.

They definitely look much better with the Thunder Wolf heads on the shoulders. 

This one will be built for my counts as Commissar Greaves, the foot up version that I'm going to start next week. But I just wanted to see it next to the Russ.

And the Commissar Greaves on foot, careful, she'll have someone's eye out with those. The plan here is to paint both versions together, I'm just hoping to get the Björn The Betrayer project finished first.

Lord on Juggernaut 

The lord on Juggernaut. 

I tried something a little different on the brass with this one by giving those areas a base of balthzar gold, the reikland flesh wash and then a brass scorpion layer, which I think works well with the colours of the mini. I'll probably do this again on the mauler fiend and Predator Tank.

The Jakhals 

I put these together on Sunday and moved forward with painting in the week. 

The dawn stone grey and wraith bone bases worked well, the moot green needing salvaging with a dry brush of bugmans glow, everything else was the usual steps. 

The Ultramarine Veterans. 

I put these together on Saturday night, slightly strained process as they'd come from ebay without instructions.

Again the plan with these is to run them as a Veteran Squad in the Betrayer army, I've got the Tigirus mini as well, so I'm adding that in here as a Sorcerer, this will be on the Codex side. 

I stalled this post to the 13tb because I wanted to finish the alge growth on the nurgle champ

The Berzerkers. 

I built these, but they got bumped to June to July. 

I bought a new wash to try, from a company called Dark Star, I'm buying a couple of others from them, I also finally tried the tesseract glow on the Mugan Ra I've had for a while.

I finished the Dishonour Guard, there is a chapter banner but I want to get some other bits finished first like the rest of this army.

Marnius was originally on an Astogranite base, so to make his match the rest I gave his base a layer of Vallejo Earth Texture.
