WIP Relic Marker and Japanese Bolt Action

Here are a couple of shots from my painting desk.

First up is my Japanese Bolt Action army. I'm almost up to 1,000 points based and ready for the spray can. Since these fellows won't be my primary Bolt Action army, I'm just going to use the Army Painter spray cans, pick out skin and few weapons by brush, then brush on inks for a quick and simple paint job.

This is a Relic objective marker I made for Warhammer 40k. It's an icon bit from the Imperial bastion with a Dark Angel icon glued to the top. I'll touch up the paint a little more before giving it a coat of matte sealer.

Also, I recently picked up a proper air brush, the Badger 105 Patriot. I've started doing a few test models and I think I've got my technique down for painting power swords/force weapons; I'll post some pics soon. Also, I've got shading white down for my White Scar bikes. Again, I'll post some pics soon but I'm pleased with how the shading on the bikes has worked out. I'm not as crazy how the airbrush shading looks on the trooper, but I'll save some time on the bikes.

Salamanders Badab War Veteran

Primaris Marines are great sculpts, but they will never have the soul of the old hand-sculpted models. The Badab War is my favorite battle in the 40k universe and its one of the reasons that the Salamanders are my favorite Space Marine chapter. #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #salamanders #salamanders40k #28mm #spacemarines40k #oldhammer #badabwar #astartes #armageddon40k

Callidus Assassin

This is my newly painted Callidus assassin, Mary Poppin-yourbackfield. She scores points. I hate that I have to play one of these to stay competitive. Yar.

Bad News for Deathwing

The new Balance Data Slate was released today for Warhammer 40k 9th edition and my beloved Dark Angels Deathwing list took a beating. If you don't have the codex, the fourth bullet point was the rule that gave Inner Circle infantry units, like Deathwing Terminators, Transhuman Physiology. Basically, the key feature that most players loved about the list. Rest in peace, Deathwing, we hardly knew ye. Also, what a crappy way to write that rule?! Why not simply include a sentence that says, Inner Circle models do not benefit from transhuman without use of a strategem? I know 10th edition is supposed to be cleaner and easier to understand, but this does not bode well. I'm not really a loyal Dark Angels player (see what I did there?) so I'll just shift back to playing one of my other Marines armies or orks. I've been day dreaming about a Thunder Warriors army again and dug out some bits to work on conversions. I'm loving the idea of a Age of Stryfe White Scars/Star Hunt...
