Piece by Piece.

With fiive more High Elves Archers complited I am very pleased to present you with my Elven force.

Do you like the dragon? It's not painted by me but by a friend. Thoedore is a calm person and a really talented painter especially when it comes to the white colour. I gave him a commition three years ago and honestly he put his heart onto the model. He finished my dragon in a few weeks making me a great masterpiece. There are no words to describe how happy I am with the finished model.

With this beautifully painted centerpiece I collect and paint the rest of my force piece by piece, taking my time as my display cabinet is filled with great looking models.

THANK YOU Mr Dickson

A late birthday present.

Panagiotis is my roommate and a close friend. On his birthday I presented him with a plastic boxed set of a dwarven war machine. He was pleased with the present but he asked me to paint it for him. I didn't mind but I explained to him that i allready had enough projects and it would take me a lot of time. He didn't mind about it. It took me about 5 months but here it is. Happy Birthday Panagiotis, may you smite the enemy's ranks like ... like ...like a Dwarven warmachine of doom with too many barrels.

Angels Sanguine Αssault Marine

Αnother one.
Well, with the point increase to the Throne of Skulls Tournaments my careful plan of the Angels Sanguine Project needs a small revision. I need 5 more astartes and I plan to take my time painting them.
I'll try something new for me this time. Combat Damage. You see, till now all my miniatures were clean and neat. For the last 5 models I will try some combat damage on them.

Transition to Pistol

It was about time for me to paint something for my Empire army so I got my self a juicy box of HandGunners. I gave some more pose this time. The first one is a plain looking citizen firing his handgun. He is looking down his sights trying to make every shot ''count''. The other model (Lets call him Sam) is posed doing a ''transition to pistol''. Whats that?

Every Soldier worth his salt knows that in some occasions and especially in short range firefights when their riffles go ''click'' and with that I mean empty or even worse jam, it's way quicker to draw their pistol than try reloading in the middle of a firefight. This way they are still a deadly threat buying themselves precious time to find cover and reload or unjam their riffle relatively in safety.

So immagine for a momment, Sam and his buddies having fired their shots at the enemy charging unit. After the smoke clears he finds out that a single enemy survived his fusillade and he is ready to split his head in two. Calmly he lets the riffle sit on his shoulder and with his free hand he picks up his loaded pistol. He only has one shot. Will he make it? Will Sam and his buddies make it?

I am the Hammer.

I am the Hammer.
I am the Right Hand of the Emperor.
The Isntrument of His Will
The Gauntlet about His Fist.
I am the Edge of His Sword.
The Tip of His Spear.
I am the the Bane of the Heretics
And the Woes of the Treacherous
I am the END....

I finaly made it.I am really pleased with the final result of the grey knight test model.The black Shoulder Guards and BackPack really made the model shine (IMHO).

A lone Necron Destroyer.

A friend from the past this time.A Destroyer from the Necron range came to visit my PaintStation all the way back from 2004

This small model is the epitome of the word ''PLAIN'' i mean it was costing 50points to field one.Thats it.No upgrades , no characters , no differnt profiles.Simply a 50 points model.The painting was ''PLAIN'' too.I remember i painted a Necron Battleforce in a week.I just took a bright silver colour spray and that was all.I added some details (Eyes , a quick black was and a mithril silver drybrush) and i was done.

The modeling was a nasty work.The hands are not easily glued.The whole model is a problem to glue.I really hated the prospect of building more models.

So this model was siting on the White ''Models to Come'' Box along with a Necron Lord, a Necron Warrior Squad and 10 Immortals for some 6 whole years.This time I will give some more love to those models.

Τhe Tau project

This week Ι picked up another failed project. It was one of my old XV8 Crisis BattleSuit. It was lying broken and unsused begging for some love and a place to the display cabinet. It was like that.

I magnetised the Shoulder Sections to acommodate the magnetized weapon system of my current project Ι pinned the missing hand, I removed the head section with a new one. Some paint later it looked like that.

 Now, my Sa'cea XV8 Crisis Force looks like that.
  I think I like the urban terrain bases better. So, the only thing missing is common basing.
