Deathwing Librarian TO-DONE!!!

 

Hi folks,

I am laid up in bed at the moment with something fluey. In between marking school work and other odd admin tasks I have been tidying up the DreadTober blog in preparation for the challenge this year (more about that later).  I have been so busy with it that I forgot to post the final shots of my Librarian, which I finished on Saturday. 

Overall, I think he turned out quite nicely. The blue is a lot lighter than I originally envisioned, but I also like the shading and contrast that affords. The pose is a bit odd from front-on, in that you can't see the axe that I worked in so hard from the front!

I kitbashed him to carry a combi-plasma in his offhand. I think it looks pretty cool and provides some variety. Gaming-wise I think I prefer the stormbolter option, simply for the volume of fire it can dish out. Hopefully, this combi pings some wounds off and earns its place in the list 

I think I have one more project in me before DreadTober hits. I'm hoping to get my Vindicator done to finish off the first 1000 points of my list, and possibly get some pre-challenge construction done on my DreadTober project.

See you across the table,

Marc

Deathwing Librarian Progress

 

Hi folks,

Just a quick post today to share some progress I have made on my Deathwing Librarian. I have kitbashed him a bit to pay homage to the old 2nd Ed. figure, with the edition of a combi-plasma because I am a sucker for plasma.

I have been working in sub-assemblies because I simply could not figure out how to get to all the details any other way.

The blue of the armour is quite a bit lighter than I imagined it would be; I think I just got carried away pushing the contrast. 

I just have one more shoulder pad to go and I can assemble and finish basing him. I'll post the final product as soon as it's done, then get started on a Vindicator.

See you across the table,

Marc

2024/2025 To-Do List

 

Hi folks,

The start of the new hobby season snuck up on me and caught me off-guard this year. I am not going to do a review of the last 12 months, as I haven't done all that much; my hopes of blogging more frequently fell by the wayside pretty quick last year. Similarly, my plans to get stuck into my 2nd Edition Blood Angels never really eventuated. When Dr The Viking decided to take a break from blogging and the 2nd Edition Army Challenge changed management, I decided to double down on my Tyranids and finish them off instead. 

For my list this year, I would really like to consolidate some of the army projects I haven't quite managed to finish in previous years. There are a few odds and ends I have picked up for each of my 2nd Edition armies that I want to paint, particularly as I am playing more games of 2nd Edition at the moment than anything else. I also have a 10th Ed. Dark Angels army that is nearing completion, that could do with a concerted effort before the edition changes and more models get shunted off to Legends.  

Without further adieu, here is my new To-Do List as it currently stands, with some pics for fun:
