NUMBER OF THE BEAST

 Today is my 666 th post, as I don't have any demons to paint you'll have to put up with some of my regular models. First today is the Librarian Consul from the Horus Heresy range, which I've painted up for my Night Hawk chapter. The model has a lot of extra detail on it, so I'm thinking he will be the next in line to be Chief Librarian, and maybe a title like the keeper of the knowledge, as he carries several books, the Epistolery symbol on his shoulder was a bit of freehand, as were the red markings on the robes.


Next is the MK IV Tech Marine also from the Horus Heresy range, for the chapter symbol I didn't sculpt on the shoulder pad, as I liked the lines so freehanded the symbol, which I haven't done on a shoulder pad for a long time.


Last on the painting list today is the Saurus banner bearer, I've kept to my normal color scheme but increased the red areas which are the mark of Sotek to show he was marked for greatness.


I've also been busy putting together more models to paint, I've finished the rest of the second Rebel squad, I've done 5 as Mon Calamari, the two humans I've used spare heads from the multipart Rebel command models I got for my birthday, the last of the Rebel starter box was another Luke Skywalker, as I already have 3 of him, I've put him together for a Rebel Kallus model, I won't be doing any more on him until Forgotten Heroes later in the year. As the Rebel box is now all constructed, I've started the Imperial box, first up was Vader, where I'm actually going to have his light sabre retracted, and got the first 5 Stormtroopers constructed.


That's all for today, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

Cheers Dave
