Ta guys! :D

 

Heldrake's head has now been given a lick of paint. I will be touching this up as the last thing to be done. The metal work needs more depth and the eyes need a little more detail added to them. But I am so far happy with it.

I decided last night that I wanted to get the body started before I finished the head so that I could just sit and focus on it without wondering how the body would fit into the rest of the paint scheme!

Great job on those wings Tzen! The Heldrake is a b**** to paint propery with those wings. The lord and helbrute also looks awesome!

 

 

TETSUO!!!

 

Excellent job on the Helldrake :biggrin.:

KANEDA!!!

Cheers fellas! :D

 

Managed to make something of a start on the Heldrake's body. Still early days and the spine needs more work, but the skin took me ages. All the areas with mixed flesh and piping was particularly time consuming, but at least now it is done!

This basically leaves me with the red and silver areas to do and the model should be finished. Whilst this part is annoying, it isn't as time consuming as the flesh parts!

Now that's just awesome. The skin tone is really good and contrasts well with the red and silver. I'm particulary fond of the organic feel you have going and the bone on the tail is a nice touch.

It's gonna look terrific when finished so keep up the good work.

Nearly finished! I was hoping to get this done last night, but I underestimated how annoying all the raised metal areas would be to paint, so I have yet to add all the finishing touches to it. Hopefully one more night on it and the whole model should be complete!
 
Wonder what I should do next – Probably more cultists – sigh.

I managed to pick up some miniatures after I made a short journey back home the other day! I was determined to find some models that I know I will be using in actual games.

 

I know Possessed are terrible according to the internet, but the truth is they are very relevant to Word Bearers and I reckon they can be made to work.

Eventually there will be nine in total, but I need to purchase some more to finish the squad off. The squad leader is a limited edition possessed champion from an old box set.

It is quite possibly the worst miniature every created. It's so bad I know I have to have it in my army! And with it being a rare limited edition model it makes it even better! What's great about this model, is that it comes with a plasma pistol... which Possessed can't even use!

Here is what I did so far:

I'm not a miracle worker, so I am trying to do the best I can with a truly awful miniature.

Well I finished the Possessed Champion.

After some consideration, I may eventually convert something a little more fitting than this poor excuse for a miniature. I could feel all interest in the hobby draining from me with every brush struck!

Nicely done. I think you've done a great job on the Possessed Champion, and even mad him look pretty damn good! I'm also liking your other Possessed Marines. I like how dynamic the poses are, and I am looking forward to seeing the finished. Keep up the good work!

I'll agree that it is one of the worst models ever released (albiet limited edition) but it's not THE worst ever :tongue.:

Haha, you may be right there! (God that's awful).

 

Thanks guys, appreciate the comments :)

Very Early work in progress picture of my next Possessed Marine.

The only thing finished here is the purple claws, everything else needs touching up, especially the metal areas and such. And the skin will be a little paler.

 

The concept I am trying to achieve is that these are still Chaos Marines. They share their bodies with daemons but they are still in control. So the purple is the Daemon coming through, and the skin has hints of purple in there, but essentially this is still a marine. He is still in charge (or so he thinks)!

The claws look great Tzen!! The champ is great too!! If only the raised arm was on a different model, I really like the drama to it.

 

Do you do all of your painting by hand, or with an airbrush?? Your colors are so smooth and crisp!! :jawdrop:

End of Line

It's been quite a while since I have painted anything, and I'm feeling a little out of practice. Dissertation has come and gone, and I have found an hour or so at the end of every day of exam revision to get a bit of painting in to wind down and let all the information sink in. 

 

Out of all the possessed models I have, this was my "worst" model, I just don't like the legs, they make no sense, even for a daemon infused monster!
