After those great models from Red Box Games stood around for ages more or less finished i have decided to use them both for this idea - the first one is mostly finished, set on the base and will only get some final touches after both are up to the scene to get all together - also i guess i have to take the final pictures before a brighter background, the dark trees and roots are not really good to see... excuse me for that fact.

 

 

 

Today his brother will be painted - sure i don't know how far the muse whips me and the run of my brush. I hope you like it so far - sure there is still work to do, but i really like these 2 models grow finally in such a totally different direction as planned, haha.

I did take a photo on the balcony to see these dark roots around the base and to get a "normal" impression on what i am painting there - sorry for not being able in taking good pictures still - so here on the balcony with light from the sun, so also very strange like the pictures from the light box above:

After  Picster told me about a  competition over at the enourmous Warhammer 40K Space Marine platform, 'Bolter and Chainsword' about painting a Space Hulk Terminator in traditional Blood Angel chapter colour scheme or a following Chapter i thought about taking part, as i wasn't able to get hold of the Space Hulk game because of whatever, i asked a friend of mine if maybe i may get one of them i really like. In the end after a million times asked he decided to give it to me - thank you very much, my Kurtheit.

The rules of the comp say, just glue them together and paint them as they are without a special base or conversion. So i have started but sure cleaned and prepared him before painting him. I guess he will be a nice model to do another step by step. I have decided to make him from the chapter of the ANGELS SANGUINE, half red, half black. Time is to the 26th Octobre and i am not sure if i am able to make this... well see, the muse is the key and if she is with me maybe it'll work out in the end. Ok, here we go...  i call this project BASH, Blood Angel Space Hulk, hehe... stupid i know - stop blabla - allright:

Started him on a black/white priming, and went with about 3~4 Layers of thinned Red (Blood Red and a tip of Dark Flesh) on his red half to set the basics, sorry for the blurry pic this time:

After this i took one of the GW inks, Badab Black with a tip of Dark Flesh and inked the red parts with it to get some depth to work with. Also i painted the other half of the Terminator in Black. I didn't use pure black here, because in my eyes it is a bit too intensive and doesn't look natural. I did put in some ice blue in chaos black to get a good basic tone for the black armour parts. To the top i put more ice blue in it, it is very subtile but while working it out i hope you will get what i mean. The skulls/eagle wings have been painted with a basecoat of dark flesh.

As you can see the model is just put on top of a wooden piece to get a better hold while painting him...  So far from the moment, i guess i will write soon, haha... i know that my river of workflow must seems strange to some :)

Hope you enjoy! Happy painting!
