Is that your custom chapter by the way? On second look that gold is just fantastic. Any tips or recipe? I tend to go much more bronzy with my gold but I'm doing your scheme I want it right.
By the way, hows your boys Ultramarines coming? I have to admit I got one of those free primaris marines a while back and got about half way through painting him up in Arsenal colors just to send to him. I'll finish it up at somepoint I swear...

It’s a custom Chapter of my bruv’s devising. He wanted something original that was still instantly recognisable as a Dornian Chapter. I just paint them.
The recipe for the gold is Retributor Armour followed by a was of Reikland Fleshade, more Retributor Armour then finished with a highlight of Stormhost Silver. That’s it really.
The Ultramarines withered on the vine! A friend of his showed him a Helldrake at school so he’s currently wanting a Black Legion Warband. I’ll make it happen for him.
Haha! Arsenal?!! We’ll see who’s on top come the end of the season!
It’s all good.

Had a productive weekend! I've managed to finish the High Marshal (Chapter Master) for the Templars of Dorn. He's based on the Primaris Marneus Calgar plus some other bitz and bobs. I really enjoyed the modelling on this one. There's something to be said for kitbashing! It's a lot of fun. High Marshal High Marshal High Marshal High Marshal High Marshal Thanks for looking.

I've finished the first squad of Aggressors for the Templars of Dorn! My brother chose to go with Grey Knight heads to go with the Crusader look. I'm waiting on an order for my Tyranids so will continue working on the Templars. Any way, here's the pics: Aggressors Aggressors Aggressors Aggressors

Bloody hell man!!
You love the Arsenal so much you carved it into your flesh?
I love the blues but I’m not that committed.
I’m not that far off Old One Eye, should get him done sometime this week.

I finished my Old One Eye conversion! I just love the Carnifex kit, it is so easy to model and has a lot of options considering the size of it. The claws were left over from the Exocrine kit, I think they're for the Haruspex (hope I got that right) The building took about 20 minutes which is something of a record for me! It usually takes me ages working on most GW and Forgeworld kits! I painted it in sub assemblies and built it at the end, definitely the right approach as it allowed me to get in at the underbelly. I learnt the hard way after fully assembling my last Carnifex. Old One Eye ConversionOld One Eye Conversion Old One Eye Conversion Old One Eye Conversion Old One Eye Conversion Old One Eye Conversion Overall I'm really pleased with Old One Eye and I'm looking forward to trying him out on the table.

Very cool, a bit of a bummer that the bone in the "not one eye" isnt able to contrast with your color scheme to really pop but the painting is still top notch. Just an unfortunate side effect that will only ever occur with this particular model haha.
Also, as for the tattoo, it was much less decided upon and more woke up with after my trip to london...
PS: where is everyone? Other people need to compliment these beautiful models too!

Thanks for the support Walk!
I appreciate the fair critique, it doesn’t pop as much as I’d like but I’m still really chuffed.
On the tattoo, nights out in London can be pure carnage!
I’m currently working on a battle suit for my bruv’s Templars of Dorn.
On other news my son has decided he likes Ultramarines most again! I’m going to wait until the codex is released then throw some cash into it!
So plenty to be getting on with!

sweet One Eye, and I love the Lictor too!
good to see some support for the gunners... I used to live 2 minutes from their old grounds as a result of university, it was mental. And supporting them was mandatory regardless of where you came from or what you had supporeted previously!
Those marine / knights head swaps look ace too!!

Some progress on my Nids! I’ve finished my first brood of Zoanthropes. ZoanthropesZoanthropes Zoanthropes It’ll be a while until I do more Nids, I’ve been neglecting my Krieg for too long!

Thanks Walk.
I find it helps to keep things fresh. I basically paint what I fancy each day (I usually paint one model a day) though my priority atm is my Krieg.
I’d like to rejoin my local gaming group and play some games again so I need to get it all bought and painted!

So this week I’ve been working on some Hive Guard for my Nids. Got another 3 done so that finishes the Brood, I just love these models and they perform well on the table (probably the first name on my lists) Tyranid Hive Guard Tyranid Hive Guard Tyranid Hive Guard Thanks for looking!
