Hey guys!

Managed to get another Chaos Spawn done and a Dragon Warrior Chaos Space Marine painted up for the mercenary warband idea that I kicked off here.

The Spawn didn't take much time, but the Dragon Warrior took AAAAAAAAAAAAAGES because of all the grey highlights I had to do for his armours black trim. When I first started painting him, the dull black just looked horrible by itself. The highlights really make the model stand out.

Anyhoo, starting with the Spawn:

I wanted to make his arms look like neither of them really belonged to him. A metallic arm and an odd blue-green tinge on the other sorted that out pretty quickly.

Lots of blood, because why not!

The weird stains on this guy are due to my experiments with Gryphonne Sepia. No matter how I use that wash I never like the look of it...

Yeah, I experimented with this guy a bit wash-wise and colour scheme-wise.

Dragon Warriors are known to have a preference for Melta/Flamer weapons and "close quarters fire-fights", which I think I've portrayed in this model quite well.

I tried to keep to the image found on Lexicanum as much as possible, seen here. I really didn't want to do the scales all over his armour, as the grey highlights had already taken up a lot more time than I originally thought they would.

Lots of blood on the sword, tying in with the "Close quarter fire-fights" that these dudes specialise in.

I'm gonna be honest here, I just gave the backpack a heavy drybrush.

Scales on the shoulder pad, fitting in with their fluff.

Quite happy with this guy!

So that's what I've been getting up to recently!

I also have plans for 2015, in the form of a few units/models that I want to get finished for the year. These include:

• My three remaining Noise Marines.
• The models I got for Christmas.
• All of my vehicles.
• The remaining "Chaos Mercenary Squad".
• The rest of my Fallen Angels army.
• Highlighting/basing the 29-odd Night Lords that haven't been based/highlighted yet.
• The remaining nine Night Lords Chosen.

Happy new year folks!
