Purge Additions + Steel Brethren

So it has been quite a long time since my last post, but I have made up for it with quantity and quality. I've added a few units to the Purge, An entire unit of Steel Brethren(!) and a WIP of a Punisher Havoc marine (so the other one doesn't feel so damned lonely).






Next up we have the new unit of Steel Brethren. These guys are from the idea of starting a themed Seige of Vraks style Warband. I was using my old 13th company army as stand ins in my 1k chaos list, and just decided to paint up the whole unit so they better fit with the army AND could be used on the table top(!). It was a very spur of the moment idea in which I decided to forgo stripping the paint off 'thems and just dive in. They have a bit more paint on them than I usually find acceptable, but in the moment that didn't seem important; I still am happy with them for a very quick paint job (4-5 hours to do all 20).










And the lonely Punisher.

2' x 4' worth of Pink Nids.

So I finally got around to taking some pictures of my tyranid army(painted models only, I have 45-50% more that are still in progress) that I have been working on for the past 6-7 years. I apologize for vastness of the shots;I didn't have the time to do individual unit shots.

edit: reread what I wrote; was a bit confusing before on the amount that is actually complete

Space Sharks!

Time for another guest post by Mr.Ryan Szolopiak. We were chatting about different armies and we got on the topic of space marines. He started linking me his space marine army the "Space Sharks". I just loved the colour scheme and overall look of the army. He also has an amazing display board that goes with it. The craziest thing is he painted the entire 1500pts army in a MONTH! My Nids are sitting at 2 years (just over 4000pts though) and my DE are at 4 months and have less then 1000pts and no display board.

He finally got a new camera and will be sending me some pics of the rest of his Tyranid army including his Golden Demon winning Trygon. Should be pretty sweet! I am also working on finishing off my Tyranids. Right now I am converting up a unit of 10 ymgarls (going to post some pics of the test model soon) and 20 Gargoyles.

Tyranid Guest Post!

A little while ago I entered in a Dark Eldar painting competition at Spikey bits.com. I started looking through the different entries and I noticed the name of a friend of mine from when I was working at the HQ store for GW Canada. After looking at his entry I started thinking about his old Tyranid army. The one thing that always stuck out to me when I was working at the GW HQ was just how awesome Ryan Szolopiak's Tyranids looked to the point where they were 100% the inspiration for my Tyranid army (specifically the textured painting style).

So he just finished off his Tervigon and I asked him if I could put up some pics of it on our blog, so here it is :) Its made up of Carnifex and Trygon bits with a crap tonne of Greenstuff. Ryan is also going to be taking some pics of the rest of his army which I will also post here because it too is awesome.
