Phoenix Guard finally on their way for paint

It has taken me an unforgivable amount of time in getting these guys glued......12 months!! As you can see, I had a good go at the paint scheme on the command group, and they came out alright. However, in the light of a recent trade (for my old Dwarf army), Plebicidal is painting them up for me!

You can see some of his great work here:

My work with Vallejo Liquid Gold.

Well my “quick” review didn’t really cover much in the way of actual progress, or how I used it. So here is the longer one.

Vallejo Liquid Gold Quick Review.

I just picked up Vallejo Liquid Gold, Silver and White Gold. The paints themselves look great. The White Gold was very very thick, but I’m sure this can be fixed (hopefully).

My projects for February.

Well I'm back from Germany. It was a great trip, even though it was freezing cold. Anyway, coming back has brought me to the realisation of just how much stuff I have on my Hobby Plate for the next few months. Here is my rundown:

2014 hobby resolutions

December is always a busy month for me so I don't get much of a chance to do any of my hobby (or blog). When Christmas rolled around, I finally got the opportunity to relax and sit down with a paintbrush and some models overdue for some colour. This got me thinking about my hobby resolutions for the New Year:

Death Korps of Krieg Project

Alright let's face it, with all my babble about my hobby fetish for Krieg it was bound to happen. Spicerack and I are getting some of our own Death Korps models!

Deadlines

The words we all hate

Recently, the pile of unpainted plastic I have has been growing at an alarming rate. Normally my painting space is orderly, but at the moment it is just a mess of grey. So this got me thinking qbout deadlines.

Spicerack: Catachan Jungle scene off the front of the old codex cover.

CrAzY: Either an Eldar strike force emerging from the Warp or a DKK unit about to charge out of a trench WW1 style.

Ruby: Space Marines holding their position against a Tyranid Swarm

Painting: White Wraithblades

I have finally completed my first Wraithblade using an alternate white colour scheme. Most people hate painting white - I've often received comments about getting good coverage. I'll fill you in on the technique I use to get a good finish.
