Eldar
Eldar aspect warrior. Red on green.
Had these five Eldar in my paint queue.
I was blessed with an Onslaught box, and these guys got cleared like everything else. Even the Star Wars Storm Troopers, although they are the easiest of the bunch to paint.
Changed my mind since the Eldar were so close to being done.
Eldar is not my thing, but I disliked the mono paint jobs, and wanted to show how much better they could be. Am not a pro painter, but I hope some pro painters will take up the scheme.
Gray rattle can. I removed most of the spirit stones. In my world the Eldar do not care about Slanessh.
The green base color.
The Red on the dry brushed gray.
Rear side view work in progress.
Head added, and done.
The sister.
The brother.
The leader. The only one with a helmet. :). Not a Space Mrine leader.
My Primaris Sgt
Primaris Space Marine Sgt/Lt/Captain of my own Chapter.
Added more color to my Primaris Sgt based on the experience I got from doing my OG (first sons in the GW system).
I like the yellow on the chain sword, and the red gun housing.
The 3d printed storm bolter, a friend did for me.
Not sure what you all feel is correct regarding the size of Space Marines.
I like the poses of the new guys. Looking forward to the Assault Termis.
I was blessed with an Onslaught box, and that cleared everything from my painting queue.
My painting queue had Star Wars Storm Troopers, man they go together without glue. So nice.
These are the new hard plastic Troopers.
Eldar aspect warriors. I got one of 10 done.
My OG and Primaris guys. Which I have been alternating working on to post. Initially though that was not my intent. I was just going to do my OG.
Each week I am just filled with joy to be able to share with the people in the hobby, because I know you understand the fun of painting little army men.
Brings back memories, right? Little green army men with only five poses?
Anyway, next week I will have another update, hope it will be the Judicar from the Onslaught box.
What a nice pose.
My Sgt for my Primaris. Captain when playing Space Hulk. The best game GW ever made.
Made his helmet darker blue, rather than white of a leader. My Chapter. My Rules.
Better look at the skull back pack. Only now saw the red on the black of the gun brush stroke. Learning a lot about what looks good to post.
Using blue tape to protect the skulls on the back pack from stray brush strokes.
Protecting the rest while I fix the helmet.
OG with Plasma gun.
The latest addition to my OG space marines.
I am thinking though with Crux coming out I am going to be side tracked.
Man, I got to tell you how happy I am that I started this website.
If not for posting pics of my efforts, I would not have discovered that my Space Marines could look a lot better.
I recommend that you do also. The dark Prussian blue on a black rattle can primer, is just way too black at three feet.
Although I was going to do green eye lens, the laurel on some I think would have been to much green.
So, I went with red lens.
Adding the color changed my plan for the remainder, and the Primaris I got going also as a break from that dark blue scheme.
On my work bench I got a Storm cast and an eldar guardian.
The main reason for the eldar, so not my army, I did not like the paint jobs I saw online, and thought man they could look so much better.
One of the promises I made to my self about this site. The miniatures would be complete. Painted. No grey. Now its moving toward the three-color gaming quality. I can understand now why.
Anyway, the only photos will be the done guys, and then an in-progress time lapse or different stages photos.
The only thing I see might through a wrench into my posting timeline of my OG Space marines is the Crux Terminatus box which should be out on Black Friday 2025. Like a fantic I am trying to justify buying two boxes.
Knowing full well that in three months the 5-man squad box will be on sale.
Like you though, how I can I pass up Primaris size Assault terminators.
Although I started the web site as way to get my OG space marines painted.
I am enjoying posting hobby related items, and life related items.
The main page will change to show my other life interest, but my main hobby is miniatures.
So, content wise posting about miniature painting and gaming will be more often.
Hope you check back once a week.
Thanks again for spending your time here.
Latest of my OG Space Marines.
I am going to need to get some 3d printed shoulder pads, so the look can be the same across all my Space marines. First sons (OG) 30K, and Primaris.
I am going to need to 3d print more of those Back Packs also.
