Finished Black Templar Detachment - Showcase

Howdy! Seems to be a trend here where I and Grendal both disappear for long periods of time only to reappear. As usual, insert standard excuses of real life, other hobbies, and day jobs getting in the way. Here's what I've been working on, and just recently finished up.

I Iz Back!

First of all, I would like to apologize for not posting the last couple of weeks but I have returned.

Showcase: helverin upgrade

Back when Forgebane came out, I built and painted up one of the armiger warglaives.  While building it, I thought that they would release another load out later on, so I magnetized the arms. I am glad I did.

Showcase: Hive Guard

After finishing with the Morathi models I decided to go back to my roots and finish my set of hive guard.

Showcase: Mini Morathi

 So, it is a new week and I actually had some time this weekend to do a bit of hobby-ing.  My last post I completed the large Morathi model. Well, today I have pictures of the other half of that unit, the small Morathi model.

This model seemed to paint up quickly.  I started with the red and, before I knew it, I was finishing up the base and gluing down the basing material. While painting her, I ran into a couple of problems.

My first problem was that the arm with the spear came off.  I decided that I would use that to my advantange and work around the spots that were hard to get to if the spear was there.  A part of me wished to do this with her head, since the hair block some of the details on her dress and back but in the end I didn't.

Speaking of her hair, deciding which color to paint it was theother problem I had while working on the model.  I thought about matching it the the hair from the other models from the Daughters army and go with a blue.  I also thought about what the hair becomes when the model transforms into the larger model.  In the end, I decided to match the hair with the snakes on the larger model.  While I think matching the army would be nice, I thought matching the larger version made more sense.

Completing this model finishes my pledge for the month.  I am free to move on to other projects.  I have several in the works. I think I need to try to work on some 40k models since I have had worked on a lot of AoS lately.  Hopefully, I can even find a game this Thursday. We shall see.

Have a good week!

Questions? Comments? Hissss!

Showcase: Morathi

 

Ever since I saw this model I have wanted to own it.  Today I have completed (after a couple of touch ups) the model and I am really happy with how it turned out.

WIP: Morathi

This weekend I had some time to build both the chibi Morathi and the monster Morathi over a couple of days.
