Little steps at the time

A friend of mine pointed out a different way of taking my pictures, so i have been messing around a bit with my camera and computer, but still i have gotten a little bit of painting progress in tonight on the Blood Angel marine thingy and a bit on my mournfang riders.
So without annoying you to long with stories about me taking pictures, here are the pictures.

Some more work on the painttable

Well, it has been some time, have been busy, but i got some painting done anyway, just did not take the time to take a lot of pictures.

After finnishing up on John his slayer, the obvious thing to do next was the runesmith dude, so i got him done this morning.

Pictures:






And a shot of both of them together:

As a comment to the Runesmith model, i enjoyed painting it, i think the sculpt is very nice.
Downside to it, this particular mini was a terrible cast, there where some really bad moldlines on it, and some of them i decided not to remove completely due to fear of damaging the mini beyond repair.
As for the colours, i had John deciding on most of them, i think i would have done some colours differently, but i think that comes down to taste and wishes of the owner of the mini.

On to the next project then.
Since i am changing my entire paintrange around to another brand i needed a figure to test the paints and extra stuff out, so i have been looking in my own scrapheap of miniatures and found a nice mini to try the paints on.
Normally i am not that into painting marines, the armour usually is very boring to paint, and in general, they all look so much a like, that the 2nd one in a batch already is nightmareish.
But as for the pose of this mini, and since i don't really care how it will turn out, i found a Blood Angel character (god knows where it came from tbh).
I am largely done with the armour atm, might add a little highlight and/or shade later, depending on how the entire mini looks due to the end.




And then, last but most certainly not least, and this is not my work, some of my girlfriends models, please keep in mind, these are the first mini's she ever painted and i personally think she did a great job with them.
Ignore the movement tray, its an old one, just to keep them together.
