Rocket launcher man is done (except for the base I shall finish this later), need to work on painting metals, Looking at this photo it looks like I smudged the Ultramarines U I painted on his knee but overall I'm happy with it.... NEXT!!

Hmm not quite sure which to attempt next, I could repaint the 2 with the old colour scheme or start on the best models.. All that's left to do for the Space Marines are the Squad leader, the captain and the dreadnought!! unless i have lost some guys? don't think I have though :P

Bases complete!

Well almost...

A few require just the small details adding such as static grass etc.

Deffkopta bases

Dreadnought Base

And Terminator bases as well as My Ork Boss base

I have also been painting a few Ultramarines so i am making good progress and might one day actually finish painting these guys

The 2 on the right are my old chosen colours of painting and i may yet repaint these 2, bases still need finishing.

 Current WIP rocket launcher guy, I need to re do the claw as the black stripes went a little wrong...

Will update once i have finished this guy

been away for a while!

Not posted on here for a while, and i know all of my loyal followers missed me *cough* 0 *cough*



I've been spending my free time on other things lately  such as playing WOW, got a Caannoo (open source handheld) and been reading the Horus Heresy books.

The Horus Hersey books are well worth a read if your in to the fluff and what not I am currently on Fulgrim so there is a bit of catching up to do but i do intend on doing this as they are great :D

Anyway I have decided to work on some of my bases for various models. Using this tutorial as a guide http://salmondworks.com/blog/?p=156 I have started tring to make half decent bases.

All i have done at the moment is add some small stones and sand to the bases.  I have covered 9 bases for the moment 3 from the deffkoptas, 1 from the dreadnought and the rest from the terminator squad

I shall leave them to dry and if i get chance will have a go at painting them tomorrow.

Also whilst out on a walk with my family today I  got a load of moss and and a couple of roots im sure they will come in handy when i come to adding to the bases

Finished him, well nearly just need to finish off the base.

I think he has turned out better than the others so I will paint the rest of my guys by this method.  By the end i might be able to get one that's half decent :-). Took me bloody ages though!

Well i did a little painting on this guy last night, just added highlights really but i cant help feeling meh! when i look at it.

Probably down to lack in skill but also I think I need a new way to go about painting so I'm going to give this tutorial Painting Ultramarines from GW page. Later tonight i will have a go at painting this guy:

Going to have a go at carrying on with this guy tonight, I've put him a bit of damage across his eye, this is where he fell over when i was priming him, I didnt notice and he ended up with a smudge once he had dried so i decided to turn it into a little battle damage!

Hello

Hello and welcome to For the Emperor. About a year ago i bought Assault on black reach and still have not painted even half of the box (yeah im slow). So after not touching them for a while i decided to have another go.

I did start off painting the space marines as Blood Angels but because they didn't turn out too well I decided to go with Ultramarines. My painting is not the best but i am pretty much learning as I go ill post pictures of what I've done so far and post up any wip.

 

And not forgetting the green skins:

(one problem i do have is that my orks have acquired a layer of dust that i cant get off any tips on this?)
