I’ve managed to get some paint on the assault lance for my Battletech game on Thursday. Still need to do some lighter highlights as they turned out a little darker than I had hoped and I’m going to attempt to freehand some unit markings.
There is no official model for the Ursarax from Forgeworld yet so I’m working on building some custom ones. I’m going for a darker theme for a bunch of conversions for the Mechanicum to represent them toying around with things the Imperium might not normally allow, but not yet joining Horus in his rebellion. This will give me the option to play on either side in the 30k events.
The models are built off of Vampire Counts Crypt Horrors
I’ve managed to put the purple down on the knight and have started on the gold trim. I’m really pleased how it’s coming together. I need to finish the gold up and then go back and cleanup over spray on the metals. Also decide how I want to wash the metals and I’d I want to add a third metal color accent or not.
I did a quick color test for the Knight Acheron tonight. I knew I wanted to do a purple for the armor plates, but I wasn’t sure on the trim color. I am likely to go with the bright brass as the silver doesn’t contrast very well with the main metal internals.
Did some assembly work on the knight. Such a beautiful model and it went together really well. There is a missing piece that I am waiting on Forgeworld to send, but it’s a great kit to put together. Now to figure out the paint scheme to use.
I have managed to make a lot of progress on the Triaros. I love this model the more I work on it. Such a unique style and it fits the Mechanicum theme perfectly. Still need to do a lot of detail work and washes. Not sure if I’m gonna weather this one or not.

I’ve gotten a lot of work done on a squad of 5x Terminators. Really happy with how they are turning out and I like the basing. I still need to get the custom shoulder pads, and have the weathering and some detail work to get.
Here are a few WIP shots of my first vehicle for the Sons of Medusa. I wanted to test the vehicle color scheme so that I could easily reproduce it on the rest of the army. I’m really pleased so far, except for the blacks. The grey edge highlight is sloppy and does’t feel right for the model. I’ll try and figure out how to do it better. I also still have some detail work and washing/blacklining to work on, but I think the color combination is nice.
I painted up a tac marine up real quick tonight to see if my plan for painting would work. The picture doesn’t show it very well and there is a little bit of sloppy work from rushing it, but I’m really pleased with the result. I will change a few things, but the overall plan should work out.
I promise I’m still here. Went through a bit of a hobby slump, but I’ve started painting again and here’s my work in progress for the general for my Lizardmen.
