Onslaught-Judicar and Eradicatos

The Onslaught box which you could buy here in the U.S. for $40.00 come with the same miniatures as Space Marines: Honoured of the Chapter which you would need to buy for the GW site for $170.00.

The Judiciar done, and I added the other two Eradicators for a group shot.

Judicar from the Onslaught box.

Back side view of the cloak.

Nice shoulder pad and gun hostler on this mini.

Group shot.

The weapons of the Eradicators in the onslaught box is different then if you buy eradicators box.

I try to make my painting simple. Much of the difference is done by Dry brushing white and grey primer over black.

Comparing with the done miniature at the start of this post.

Its such a nice miniature.

This all the miniatures in the box. I have 4 done. I got side tracked with some New Blood bowl Orc lineman.

Hope you come back to see this and those done.

Better view of the miniatures.

Onslaught-Eradicator Sgt.

The Onslaught box which you could buy here in the U.S. for $40.00 come with the same miniatures as Space Marines: Honoured of the Chapter which you would need to buy for the GW site for $170.00.

I started working on the Judiciar, but added the Eradicators to the painting Queue.

My Eradicator Sgt. I am using a new android phone with a higher MP camera. the difference is kinda startling. Being a lazy painter much of the difference in tone is white drybrush on some gray drybrush over black rattle can. Then dark prussian blue from Vallejo.

The top facing parts all got a 50/50 mix of dark prussian blue and intense blue.

The pistol holster and pouch are contrast paints. Sand Golem and Satchel brown. The hoses are Black templar and Basilicanum Grey 50/50.

Tried several times to get a good head shot. This was the best of the lot. New camera phone. I also used a wash 50/50 of Dark tone (Army painter) and Agrax Earthshade (GW) only in the lines.

A better photo of the sgt.

I hope you start off the New Year getting I miniature painted. Does not matter if its Sci Fi, Fantasy, or Historical. One a month is better than none a month. Three a month is even better. Four a month I thinking is pushing it. If you are like me and work for a living, and this is your hobby.

Remember, this is your hobby. Do not be overwhelmed by what you see on social media, by the quality or the perfectness.

Latest OG 12-14-25

Before the end of the year I wanted to get one OG guy done. Stopped on my Dawn of War Onslaught priest, and got back to the main reason for posting.

Learning from my other postings. I added red and green for color.

Not a big fan of real bright plasma guns.

These old white metal bodies had no chest eagles, which was the reason I bought them. Now with the plastic I do not care I just shave them off. Dremel white metal with a mask was a hassle.

A table top view. Noticed that the silver edge on the power sword is not showing up on the photo. Sometimes I wonder if getting up and viewing the miniature as if you were playing would stop unnecessary painting steps?

Eldar

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

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.

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.
