Irwits Blood Angels Army

[irwit]

Hi all

 

So Real life has gotten the better of me and finding a solution I am happy with for the bases is taking longer than I thought.  Anyway I thought  I would share a couple of tips I have found along the route.   So the first is actually just using real dirt from a plant pot.   You get some natural interesting shapes and sizes which I think can work well but are a little unpredictable.  The second is getting the pestle and mortar out of the kitchen and crushing up some woodland scenic pebble.  You can get a really fine rock and stone from this that I think works with the 28mm scale much better than the GW sand or even the Woodland scenic fine rubble.  

 

Anyway attached are the latest versions of the bases I finished last night.  I dont know if I will use these but I thought I would just post a quick update as to where abouts I am at the moment.

I've actually put these guys on hold for a little bit for a couple of reasons. I was just going in circles with the basing ideas and getting a bit OCD about it all. I also realised that carrying on with the army I wanted to build, I wasn't at a good enough stage with my conversion skills to finish it, so its on hold for a while. It will get picked up again as I really do love the red paint on these first guys.

Anyway just in case anyone is interested I started a blog, snakebitleather which will include more work and eventually the finished Blood Angels but I will also post in here too.

I've also a new WIP post in BnC here too for the Grey Knights I am currently working on.

Sorry to not get these guys finished but hopefully you will all like the new stuff
