Miniature Mountain

Pedro Kantor and Sergeant Telion

2009-08-17T15:53:00.000-07:00

So this week I was able to complete two characters. Here we are with Pedro, Chapter Master of the Crimson Fists. I am pretty pleased with how he turned out.

Sergeant Telion was the other completion I had this week. I didn't want to alter his uniform, as you can see he is painted in his Ultramarine colors here.

Dark Tower Month 2

2009-07-29T14:45:00.000-07:00

Sorry to both my subscribers. Its been a while since I have posted but as you can see from the above picture I haven't been idle. I am pretty satisfied with what I was able to finish. 5 Terminators, 5 Tactical marines and a full man Tactical Squad. The terminators and the 10 man Tac squad are both from the Assault on Black Reach box set. Not bad in my opinion for snap fit mini's.
This is a close up of the 5 man Tac squad, this is the remainder of the 5 man squad I completed last month. As you can see I incorporated a checker pattern on the sergeant loin cloth. Checker pattern is used mainly by Orks, the idea is these guys have been campaigning against Orks for so long they are starting to incorporate some subtle markings to show their veterancy in the caompaign.
And this is a close up of the Terminator squad. Like I said they are nice miniatures for snap fits.

First Month of Dark Tower Tales

2009-06-24T19:15:00.001-07:00

So here they are my first months miniatures. Overall I am pretty pleased with how they turned out. I think I am somewhere around the 300 mark in points. I am heading out of town for 10 days, so unfortunately I wasn't able to finish the cannon. On the bright side, 5 marines of a tactical squad were completed. So far the Dark Tower community and this blog have been great for my motivation. I hope to come back in just shy of two weeks and get that cannon finished.

Thunderfire Techmarine

2009-06-22T22:11:00.001-07:00

Here is the Thunderfire Techmarine gunner in the early stages. I treated him the same way as a normal space marine. Black Primer and a Regal Blue airbrush. I have piqued out some details in boltgun metal with a badab black wash. The red I used was Mecharite Red, a foundation paint. Scroll work is Bleached Bone.

Here he is almost finished. I need to detail him a little more, adding highlights, shoulder decal and basing. Techmarine's are a ton of work, but they are an impressive model. I have a growing dependancy on Badab Black. It gives a nice smudgy oily look to metallic pieces. A suitable look for any self respecting Tech.

Scout Squad 1

2009-06-15T20:06:00.001-07:00

First of two five man scout squads completed, this time actually based!!

Dreadnaught

2009-06-14T12:37:00.000-07:00

So here is my Dreadnaught complete save base work. Hopefully within in a day or two I will have some scout marines up.

Dark Tower Week 2

2009-06-02T17:00:00.000-07:00

Partially assembled Drop Pod. I am not gonna lie, building three of these is kind of intimidating.

Semi complete scout squad they definitely need some work on their faces.

Prepped Dread ready to go. Simple Regal Blue airbrush, hope to have him finished this week.

Tale of Dark Tower Gamers

2009-06-02T16:27:00.000-07:00

This is where I start basic assembly and primer. Simple stuff really, I leave the arms and weapons off to get at details on the chest and belt.

After primer, I airbrush Regal Blue and give a wash of Badab Black.

These guys are about as done as they are gonna get. They have been detailed in a mix of Frostwolf Grey and Regal blue and sealed with Dull Cote. I will have some pictures forthcoming of them with bases complete.
