Armies on Parade 2015

I just came back from Armies on parade 2015 in GW Oslo. Luckily I managed to complete the army in time. But I didn't have time to take pictures of the newest units before the competition. The army will be on display at the GW store for about a month, but I'll photograph the units individually when I collect it, and post them here. There were a lot of great entries this year, so I'm very happy that I got 3rd place. 

While you wait for some proper pictures of the army, you can check out the ones from the event, or see it live, if you happen to be at GW Oslo. 

Lord Inquisitor Hannibal Rex

The leader of my Imperial warband for Armies on Parade, Lord Inquisitor Hannibal Rex is complete. I finished painting him a couple of weeks agh, but didn't manage to get any proper photos of him before now.

Armies on Parade is only 5 days away! So you can expect more updates soon. There will at least be a post, containing the whole army and the display board, on saturday.

WIP: Painting the Kastelan Robots

I just started painting the robots. Using the hairspray weathering technique, I chipped away the black paint, showing the red underneath. The thought was to have the robots black, but really weathered. So I went with a strong contrast on the weathering, that also made them fit better into the rest of the army. Therefore I chose red, which is the main colour of the army. The red underneath can be the colour of the robots previous allegiance, or some weird form of rust or corrosion. I'm not yet sure what the red is supposed to be, but I like it so far!

WIP: Kastelan Robots

I made a couple of Kastelan Robots for my Armies on Parade army. A quick head swap with FW's Thallax Cohort made them more evil looking, which fits my army a lot better. I'm looking forwards to painting these guys.

Electro Priests

The Electro Priests are Painted! I'm quite happy with the way they turned out. 

The leader is based on FW's Renegade Militia psyker, wile the rest are based on fantasy Flagellants. I'm pleased that they fit so well together at a unit, the psyker doesn't stand out too much. If you have any questions about the painting or converting, feel free to ask!

Painting the Space Marines

I just started painting the Space Marines for my Armies on Parade entry. The rest of the army are mostly dirty white, black and grey, so the Marines really stand out. The fact that they are based on Stormcast Eternals also makes them a lot bigger than the human sized models. Hope you like them so far!

The Electro Priests are almost finished, so I'll post them in a couple of days.
