Going to use this post as a trial post and do something different and post from my phone as it does take decent pictures.
So I painted up sgt chronus yesterday and I wanted to get him posted up on here before I forget. The mounted version will be going on a Vindecator as soon as I get it all painted. It is the next item up for paint so maybe by the end of tomorrow.
So despite having a sinus infection... I have been rather productive today. I just finished up this Librarian for the Ultramarines project that the Studio is working on. Soon... (I hope) we will have a completed 2nd Company
Originally I bought this chaplain for when I was planning a Salamanders army. Which it is still in the works... its just a ways off at the moment. SO... I decided to paint this piece up as a gift for a certain Ultramarine army that I have been working on for a while now. 
So still working on the Sternguard models... I am now sitting at 3 out of 3 and averaging roughly 5 hours per model.
Now to the music part... I am taking a cue from one of the blogs that I follow called The Phantom Project and picking a song that kind of inspired things this week. I would post a link to a video but I have yet to find a video of this song but I do suggest everyone check it out... and that is "Watch It Burn" by Disciple. 
So... I was sitting here the other night after finishing Lord Toxis and I was trying to figure out what I wanted to paint next since I am without big projects just a bunch of small half done ones right now, and that got me thinking about the stuff I had sitting on the shelf that are like half finished projects. So I went digging and I found some Sternguard that I need to get painted up as Ultramarines. And since I want these guys to look top notch I decided that I was going to do something that is completely out of character for me and my painting style. I am going to paint them one at a time instead of assembly line like I normally do. That way I can focus on the details of each figure and I can completely immerse myself in the painting of the figure. It helps with the relaxation that painting gives me.
And this is the last of the Terminators that I have to paint for 2nd company. And this might be the last bit of blue that I am going to be painting for a while. I have finalized a deal on a really large Commission that I mentioned a few posts ago. The official start date on the project is April 15th but I am going to be getting a small head start on some things for the project. I am really looking forward to it because there is a rather large Forge World model on the list of things to paint for it.
Now the fade on the lightning claws everyone keeps asking me about is actually very simple and is actually not a drybrush job. I started out with a really dark red and with really thin coats (thinned with Windsor & Newton Flow Improver) of progressively lighter shades up through orange to yellow at the very tips.
So I got these guys finished up the other night... I have just been really busy and forgot to get them posted up here. This is one of the last units of terminators that I had to paint up for the 2nd Company. I can honestly say that I am glad that the 2nd company is starting to come to an end. I am waiting to place an order with Forge World for Resin doors for all the tank on the list, but almost all of the troops are finished.
