Yet another slow update; the dining table is constantly full (to the chagrin of the better half!) and never seems to empty.
There just seems to be no time to relax and put brush to elite warrior or armoured fighting vehicle. I have stated before, that for me; the painting is usually the hardest aspect of this hobby apart from winning games that is.
But.
I appear to have some completion.
There are the Predator backlogs, transfers have been applied and then Purity Sealed (matt varnish spray coat).
As usual the transfer application is:
A coat of 'Ardcoat (gloss varnish)
Apply transfer
Allow to dry
Coat of 'Ardcoat over the top
then PuritySeal.
Now to revisit the four other Dreads (Moriar, Furioso, Rifleman & Standard TL Las), the other Pred and the LR Redeemer.
Only the Marines to sort out now.
Here is the state of the Librarian Dread and the Frag Cannon Dread.
The Magna Grapple now resides on the Frag Cannon Dread (it still has a Blood Fist).
Now that did take some fitting.
As the model was adapted from the AoBR Dread, with the BA front fitted on it. The hight of the shoulders was too low, so the Magna Grapple had to have its base filed down and then small gaps had to be filled, before painting and blending.
Sorry, I'll have to photo some fresh shots, because these are not quite up to date.
Now for the transfers and basing of the Marines.
"Wibble!!!"
Welcome. A veteran player of the 40K hobby from the Games Workshop.Not satisfied with standard "straight out of the box/blister" models; I like to "Konvert" to put my own interpretation or vision of how I want my figures to look. Often to project the "fluff" or for WYSIWIG. Some model ranges have a very limited variation or expression .... I like to introduce a change (Sisters of Battle). Some have an unlimited scope for variation (Orks).

About Me
- Churlton
- A modeller, gamer, painter; in order of preference (and more like skill as well). I usually have a huge backlog of figures and projects to get done. More often than not, I will have something waiting around for years, until "The Muse" takes hold and obsession takes over. This is then usually completed; ocassional projects do stall and are left at the basecoat and metal drybrushed stage (until I can get the drive for the detail painting). Armies i currently run are WH40K only: Orks (lots & lots & lots) Blood Angels (lots & lots) Witch Hunters (lots of Sisters of Battle) Iron Fists Space Marines (developing at approx 2000pts).
