Small, Not Far Away.


 I finished the Satanine Preator yesterday and this morning I got my old metal Satanine terminator out, just to see how much smaller the old boy is.

Doesn't he look like a son cosplaying as dad? 




I will also say this is the first time the Tactical Dreadnought Armour designation has ever made sence since Rogue Trader. 






I also got the bodyguards with him.

Satanine Preator

 I had got the Satanine Preator built the other day. 




It's a lot of sub assembly to get it together, certainly on the legs and arms. 

It looks great but damn it's annoying to put together. 




This is still rough fit. 



I thought the pogoda like piece on the back looked like a micro plasma reactor so I painted it like that, this gives me the option to do some on source lighting between the shoulders with the warning light atop the reactor. 


Still need to do the cloak and finish those epaulettes off but I need to do some shopping

Another Relic Dreadnought.

 It's like I have a think for all these oldhammer minis.


I was a bit worried I might have sold this one on, as a mate was doing a World Eaters army last year and I'd offered it to him. He obviously said no. 

It needed the tiniest bit of work doing as the exhaust pack had come off in storage and the left arm doesn't fit very well on the body. 


As I was painting the Fang base coat I noticed how badly I'd painted it last time.. The Crimson wash went on nicely.


The Russ Grey went on nicely and I left it there, as I focused on the Terminators yesterday. 

Don't have much time at home this week, so not when I'll get it finished.

Plan A for tonight is eat and get the blue shoulders finished.



So got the blue finished.

Those Space Wolf Terminators

 Remember those Space Wolf Terminators I've been talking about for months now? 


I got the test pair done yesterday.


 

I got them built in early A. M., and ran ahead with the yellow as that was my main concern because I've not done that yellow in about 2 years.


An averland sunset base coat with the orange wash I can't remember the name of, yereil yellow followed by a second wash, highlights of yeriel yellow and then flash git yellow on half of the beards, the paldrons and the largest surface, those shields.






The blue isn't finished yet as my pot of temple guard blue has dried up, so I'm going to try and get a break today to nip to GW and grab a pot. To finish off the beards and paldrons.



There's detail bits to do but as this was more a practice for this guy.



If my week goes to plan I hope to get this one built on Friday. 

Now do I paint the dreadnought in those colours... 


Those 2 terminators weren't the only thing I did yesterday I rooted through the armies on parade box from 2019 with fingers crossed as I'd talked about selling the  World Eaters mk4 to a mate and couldn't remember if I had. It was still in the box, with the exhaust pack off. 

I shuffled based and got one I liked, and got it based in the Fang grey. 



It got a Crimson wash, and later after doing some bits on the Terminators it had Russ Grey added. 

This morning I had a look for the chaos dreadnought box, as I know I have the original World Eaters Contemptor in there, and I also, happily had a Kharne the Betrayer. Now do I make him a Geigor by giving him the lightning claw arm or just him as an aspiring champion with the Geigor head I have already painted?

Based

 With just a couple of hours before work this morning it was time to pick up the PVA glue and toilet roll I needed. 

Once back I home I dug out some mid green paint and mixed that with the PVA, applied to one base at a time, the base was dipped in the grass flocking and put to one side while I did the next.





I'll get them against the good background tomorrow and the other 2. 

Wow I might actually get my target for this month achieved. 

I know that's Heresy but here we are.

Björn The Wulfen Jarl.

 I like this, I like the mini as, it could still be a loyalist, he's "just" Wulfened out, or he could be Chaos and the Canis Helix has been brought to the fore, so is now what you see.





There's a tiny bit more work to do on the fur to make it more pale, and I need to dig out the Stirland Mud technician paint for the base for this and the Juggernaut Lord. I should probably pick up some pva glue as well to mix with a paint so I can add some grass to make it look more real.



I got a later bus than normal so managed to squeeze some time in to paint the base here, some areas will definitely get another layer of agrax earthshade



So I'm posting this tomorrow{today is Tuesday the 23rd of September 2025} , to see if my last post can break into my all time top posts in less than a week, it was posted on the 18th and was just at 1,505 when I started this edit. 

Found the Stirland Mud, Blood for the blood god and athonia camoshade, so a quick stir of the mud and that went on the 2 bases, the blood for the blood god was applied to the gore trails on Radukar 's hand and the tree and other scenic bits had the camoshade wash. I'll decide what's next on this when I get home from work.

Micro Dread Björn.


 Nearly there with this one. There's a tiny bit to do on the ammo pack and to fix it to the base.

The arms where green stuffed in place before painting, the shoulder fur were painted separately. 

6 hours later I was able to glue the ammo feeds in place and get painting started. 


For something that came together so quickly I'm really happy with how this has come out. 

I really like how this fur has come out. It was a Rakarth Flesh base coat, a Reikland Flesh Wash, then banelord brown, with a low light of dryad bark brown.

Plan A is to get the good photos on Saturday, there's a wake up at work, get the bus to Wigan, see if I'm able to book a table to get all the Björns out for some good pics. I'm doing this at Wigan because that store has the shortish distance overall for me to carry everything to and from bus stops. 

So next Marbas {maybe} , Radukar Björn to paint and the Brutalis Björn dreadnought, which I have the bits for now.
