After juggling a lot of different painting projects (I think I had six on the go there at one point) I've finally been able to wrap up the Ultramarine Centurions for the NOVA Open Charitable Foundation 40K army raffles this year. I've shown a couple of in progress shots here and here, so it's nice to finally get them under the lights. The cool backdrop is a lovely one from Hanger 18!
NOCF have just started a blog to track the progress of the many painters who are involved in this project, and show you all the cool finished pieces as they roll in over the next two weeks or so.
Speaking of cool pieces, super-busy Aaron Lovejoy (of Guild Painting Services) wasn't able to donate a new model to the cause (as he's super-busy), but he was able to provide this Tigurius from his very own Ultramarine army. Thanks Aaron! I just had to rebase him to fit the theme, using one of the Secret Weapon Miniatures bases from their Omega Bases line (50% of the money from the sale of these bases goes directly to the NOCF)!
I hope you like them, I'll post some more detailed photos tomorrow.
Cheers
Dave
PS. My Thanatar Siege Automata arrived on Friday ; )
Beautifully done! Can't wait to see your Thanatar - I've been squirreling away every extra dime for Gencon as FW is going to be in attendance. I have a feeling it's going to be an expensive year in the dealer's hall for me! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks M7. I'll be trying to avoid the FW booth at Gencon, but it may be a frivolous attempt ; )
DeleteHah! The siren call of resin is tough to resist. Didn't realize you were planning on attending, we should try to meet up for a pint or lunch one of the days we're out there if you have time - cheers!
DeleteSure, send me an email and we can work out a time : )
DeleteThe way you build them makes the model look so much better than the stock mini.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rob, this particular configuration was suggested by Erik Jung. It works beautifully, I think.
