Lord Dante's Triumph

Greetings once again InterWebs!!!! Well, here is the last piece for my Blood Angels army: Lord Dante himself! I had a fair amount of fun with this piece from start to finish. If you would like to see the initial construction process you can check it out here. Here are the finished pictures of Lord Dante and an unfortunate Nightlord traitor marine:

Closer look at Lord Dante done in metallic gold:

Here are some more various views of the piece with close-ups of the two models:

The Nightlord is hanging mostly off the base but is rather securely attached. In fact I tend to grab the piece by the Nightlord he is so firmly attached to the base!

That was the last of my Blood Angels (for now); what a nice feeling having completed this army! After just over 18 months I managed to complete a rather large collection of Blood Angels! The next post will have to be a complete overview/breakdown of my Blood Angel army (complete with pictures of course)! Thanks for stopping by and taking a look! Comments are always welcome! Take care!

Painted: Mephiston, Corbulo, and Tycho

Greetings once again InterWebs!!!! The weather seems to have turned a bit around here and the days are longer and nicer! Even with the lovely weather we have had recently I managed to sneak into the hobby room to try and finish up my Blood Angel special characters. With a little work over the holiday weekend resulted in completed miniatures!!! Take a look:

That is it for now folks, I am working on the Dante's Triumph write-up next and a battle report/first impressions for the game Mercs as well. Thanks for stopping by and taking a look! Comments are always welcome! Take care!

PiP: Various Blood Angel Special Characters

Greetings once again InterWebs!!!! It has been a wonderfully warm weekend with a bunch of stuff happening! I managed to get in a couple of games of Ogre Miniatures on Saturday which was quite fun and a little bit of hobby-time on the painting desk on Sunday. I am still working on the last of the Blood Angel special characters which are the last of my normal Blood Angels army; I still have a bunch of Death Company but that will be a later project, I need to step away from the Sons of Sanguinius for a bit. Here, for your viewing pleasure, are some pictures of the painting process so far:
