This is El Toro Gigante. The Mad Cow. The Battle Cattle. Daemon Prince of Khorne. This maybe one of my favorite conversions and has served in a number of my chaos armies in both the old world and the grim darkness of the far future.

Chief librarian Boer of the Grey Knights company assigned to the protection of KS-34. I really hope the Grey Knights get a boost in the new Psychic Awakening books. They really only need a conscript unit to use as frontline troops, in my humble opinion. I'd like it to actually be Grey Knight "troops" as opposed to allied Imperial Guard to keep the purity of single codex armies.

Not too long ago, Darren Lathem started his YouTube channel and it's outstanding. Here's his Blood Angel red tutorial. I find watching him hypnotic. He's so calm and explains everything in easy to follow steps. My new favorite painting coach! 

A White Scars Sargent races ahead of his unit to launch a lighting-fast attack on his startled foes. The last sound they heard was laughter, inexplicably louder than the roar of an engine.  #paintingwarhammer #whitescars #warhammer40k #grimdark #spacemarines

Here's my first WIP/proof of concept for my blanchitsu style army, the Clockwork Angels that I wrote about in the previous post.  It's a fairly simple conversion with Necron arms and leg, a skeleton head, and an Ad Mech electropriest headband - all without any real sculpting needed. I've been inspired by some Instagram posters and their custom campaigns.

The Flesh Tearer marines are ambushed from the shadows by Death Skull Ork boyz! It's been a while since I've updated this blog but I plan to change that soon. Very soon. I decided a few months ago that I was going to box up my armies and only focus on painting and playing my Orks. While I didn't really box very much up, I did get some paint on a big hand full of boyz and lootas. Then the new Space Marines codex dropped. Wow! I was to dig my White Scars out of cold storage and begin painting and re-painting them for my updated list. Then I saw a cool batrep from Skardecast and painted on a few of my Dark Eldar. Then I found some Hellblasters I started months ago for my Salamanders and I thought their new codex will drop soon so I better finish those off... Now my desk is a big ol' pile of minis from various armies and I don't feel like I'm completing anything. Focus dropped. Enthusiasm waned. I needed some motivation and while looking up some paintin...

Greetings from my secret HQ in the Capitol of KS-34. I've decided to give my airbrush another go after watching some more tutorials on YouTube and I'm fairly happy with the results. One tip was to glue bits on floral wire, not having ant handy, I used scrap booking glue dots and tongue depressors. I have nearly finished my Salamanders Primaris ancient as well as my Khorne Daemon Prince, El Toro Gigantes. El Toro Gigante Salamanders Primaris Ancient
