Something a bit different today - while rounding up stuff to sell in a fit of spring cleaning, I unearthed my old, painted models. And having seen them again, I now can't bear to sell them. It also occurred to me that I've never had a camera good enough to make photographing them worthwhile. And so, here are some few that I dare share in public.
These Astartes came from the Dark Vengeance set, released back in 2012, apparently. I usually don't like mono pose models, but I instantly loved these, and they were a joy to paint:
Here's another view of the Serjeant. Deus Imperator I miss the colour Scaly Green. I wish I'd bought four or five pots before it disappeared, they never did make anything quite like it/
The Rhino does have a top crew hatch - after I'd taken the photos I discovered it had stuck to the foam of the storage case. Old 40K nerds might recognise the big tactical livery on the top. As far as I'm aware the studio modes haven't had that in some years.
I'd always loved Dreadnoughts. A Dreadnought was my very first vehicle, back when I was about ten or twelve and the game was in its 3rd edition. I still like brother Ezra, here, though I'm not really happy with some of the detail. I know the name plate is only a few milimetres high, but even so I don't like how wobbly the text looks.
Last one for now is another model from the Dark Vengeance box. Painting him was, at the time, a therapeutic experience, so I'm even more inclined to hang onto him. In hindsight the bone needed a wash to bring out the shadows of the armour.
