Tau colour scheme test 1

With my crisis suit built, I decided to come up with a colour scheme. I do not like the colour scheme provided for the fire caste and decided to do something neutral. This is so that they might one day serve by the side of my guards.

I came up with the colour scheme to be full black, with the metal parts being used with nuln oil. Light blue was used alongside dark grey. I am so excited about this colour scheme that I am tempted to make a tutorial out of it!

Some looks on the tau gundrone:

See you all soon!!!!!!

Great stress relieve when examinations are so near!!!

eBay buy arrived!

My eBay order came in a few days ago, but I wasn't home to collect, so I have to make a trip down to the post office. Thankfully my dad helped me get it and thus here I am showing what I have gotten.

The package came as a small cardboard box. The miniatures were bubble wrapped and placed in the middle of some kind of soft cotton.

As follows, at the right is Captain Romero. From the left top to bottom is Catachan Jungle fighter with meltagun, trooper black and eversor assassin respectively.

These were great buys and it was in my deep regret that I have not gotten more of these miniatures. All I have to do is hope for the best till my next birthday, or hopefully get some by Christmas. 

See you all soon!

Tau coming!

So during the weekend I went to my local hobby store as there was a discount, or sort of like a discount: Spend above $250 and get the specific few items to be 49% off. So I went to grab only a few items. They are the bretonnian army box, Khorne berzerkers, and a Imperialis basing kit which I plan to use on some of my cadians once those stressful examinations end. The two items that I got off the 49% was just a Tau crisis suit and the necron spyder.

So to cope with the stress, I have built up the tau crisis suit. 

Since this was my first crisis suit, I decided to make him look like he is floating in air, probably just descending upon the world he is about to conquer. I have decided to also get two more crisis suits together with him to the left and right, both halfway down shooting to the left and right respectively.

I armed him with everything I though was pretty cool, have his arms open like an invitation for an attack. Plus I decided to have the shield on the base, such that it would mark him out as a leader and also for the Tau transfer to go on, For the Greater Good!

That's all for today so see you guys soon! Time to dig out my pathfinder squad and craft out a unique paint scheme for it!

Happy National Day painting chaos cultist!!

It's been a while since I am back in front of my painting table working on my next project. With the examinations nearing and stress level increasing, the National Day celebration yesterday, 9 August, was well timed, allowing myself to start my painting as a way to de-stress myself.

Thus I managed to finish up the remaining three chaos cultists to take a group shot:

These cultists are more the followers of Khorne, hence I painted these guys in red and black. As you can see, it is the dominant colour for all cultists. 

These are really awesome miniatures, they come with more details than you can hope for, making it sometimes tiring to paint up all those tiny details. But they are one of the coolest miniatures that I can find in the chaos section, other than the chaos raptors.

I am now looking forward to finish my examinations soon (._.) that will last for three weeks, it has already started last Friday. Hopefully I can get through the examinations quickly and start painting again. I plan to finish up my youtube channel so I can post some videos on, plus some tutorials. Hopefully I can also get more cultists, making a tutorial out of it.

Thank you all for reading. And Happy National Day!!! (which was yesterday)

Imperial Fists Terminator Sergeant finally complete!

With my examinations coming, I decided to do something unproductive towards it and finish up my Imperial Fists terminator sergeant. It has been such a long time since I last got in touch with my hobby of painting and now I have finally finished it.

Enjoy the pictures!!!!!!

I would most probably finish up the remaining of his squad the moment my examinations finish and start working on the normal marines.

Remember the paints I stripped off of some marines some days back? Well, they would be the test models for the Blood Ravens! So stay tune for more updates. There won't be much these coming days but once my examinations finish, be prepared to read loads of posts!!!!!

Back after so long!

Sorry all for not posting for so long, have been quite busy through the month. So hopefully you guys are still with me.

Cutting to the chase, here's the Imperial Fists Terminator with his base almost complete. Yes, I found a suitable flooring for my terminator base. So all that's left for this guy is some touch up on the yellow and also painting up the base. Hopefully I could finish it this week or once my exams finish after August.

Though busy I may be, I still managed to find time to go down to my local hobby store to pick up this cool box! STORMCLAW! I had it reserved a week before it's release and about 2 - 3 days ago I picked it up the day it was released. Hope to open it up soon but I guess as always, exams are more important.

I had finally decided to strip the paint off my Imperial Fist space marine, 3 of them, one fully painted, one partially painted and one only primed. As you can see the fully painted one did not really come off much, though I am quite happy with the results. As a second time, I guess it is already pretty good. All I did was to soak it in dettol for an entire week and begin scrubbing it off for half a day. Tiring work I must say. The partially painted one fared better, since there was no varnish over it, unlike the other marine. The primed one seems to be the one that have not been affected at all, being same as before it went into the dettol. That's one strong primer I got there!

I plan to apint these guys blood ravens now, so we will see how that goes!

That's all for today, hope you guys enjoy this post. nothing much but there will be a great amount of time spent on my hobby seen. See you all later!

A lucky drop to the shop

So school have started and test dates are already beginning to surface and show themselves. But I still managed to find time to get What I want.

I managed to get my hands on the last novel for The Macharian Crusade trilogy. Now I can officially start reading the trilogy. And if you are wondering, well I usually prefer to start at the first novel and go all the way throughout the series without stopping unless the stories are able to be read alone such as some of the Horus Heresy novels. This was the last book, luckily I managed to get it or it would be a big trouble to get my hands on it.

The second thing I got was a pack of 4 boyz. Now I only need 3 more boxes of these to make myself 20 boyz. A slow collection but worthwhile, since I am planning to paint slowly for this one and stop myself from buying too much at a go. I also got Biel-tan green to prepare the painting schedules, which starts off once the holiday starts!!

So what have you guys been doing these days. Share your hobby stories!!!!!
