Great Unclean One

 This was, as I figured, very fun and very disgusting to paint. Overall the painting took me about 6 hours to do, with about 2 of that being detailing all the infections across his body.
I based his skin in Castellen Green, washed with Sepia and highlighted with Skarsnik Green. For the infections I based in Genestealer Purple and then went over with Blood for the Blood God technical paint. For the tears in the skin, I based in Rakarth Flesh and washed with Carroburg Crimson.
The bell is based with Fulgurite Copper, washed in Sepia and highlighted with Leadbelcher.

 The tentacles coming out of his arm are also done in Genestealer Purple as the base and then gone over with Blood for the Blood God, leaving it that almost gut-wrenching red and it will stay shiny.

I enjoyed the tentacle arm enough that I built him with it, but still wanted the offhand weapon, so I found a spot on his side where the piece fit fairly well, giving it a look that he hooked the weapon into his side.

Mechanicus Leman Russ and Great Unclean One WIP

After a suggestion from a friend, I decided to paint this Leman Russ as Mechanicus aligned that has been attached as added support to my Guard army. I did my Mechanicus split Orange-blue paint scheme, using Jokaero Orange and Caledor Sky as the base, followed by a wash of Nuln Oil and highlighting of Leadbelcher.

 As typical of my Mechanicus, the tank has their cog-toothed "K" on the left side. It is also currently equipped in Battletank load out, using a Battlecannon, Lascannon and sponson Plasma Cannons.

 I left all the gun barrels unglued, and the turret is magnetized, allowing me to set up any variant of the tank I want for any given battle.

On my upcoming painting list... This monstrosity that is the new Great Unclean One, equipped with the Doomsday Bell, which replenishes nearby friendly units every turn. This will be a very fun... and disgusting, project.

Techpriest Kalia

 I got this model from a friend and not sure where it came from company wise. Being a very 40k like engineer, I decided to make her a Imperial Guard attached techpriest from my mechanicus world of Kath.
Being from Kath, I painted her in the Kath colours. The blue is based in Caledor Sky, washed in Nuln Oil and highlighted in Lothern Blue. The Orange is based in Jokaero Orange, also washed in Nuln Oil, and Highlighted with Averland Sunset. The highlighting of the orange is still experimental, I don't work with orange often, and still haven't found way I like best to highlight it.

On the back of her cloak, is the cog-tooth lining of my Kath mechanicus and on the blue is their offical symbol, the cog-toothed "K".

Of course... As I post this I realize I forgot to do the base... Oops!

Bullgryns

 Its almost weird seeing these guys built and painted. This unit started as a birthday present from my Uncle several years ago. Due to other projects at the time, I didn't get around to them before my next birthday came around, when another box of 3 came in. At that point, I decided to wait until the following year, figuring I would get the final 3... To which... I did! A week ago I finally built the unit, and over the last couple days, got them fully painted.
The unit is actually broken into 3 groups using different coloured gas-masks so I can run them in units of 3 instead of the full group of 9.

I was entertained when I sat down to paint and noticed that the slabshields had warning stripes on the joints where the shields link up... I would think there would be bigger issues at hand if you were in a situation where those warning stripes would keep you from losing an arm to shields being linked...

The skin is based with Rakarth Flesh and washed with Sepia and highlighted with Rakarth Flesh. The metal bits are based with Leadbelcher, washed with Sepia and highlighted with Leadbelcher again.

The blue of the armour and shield is based in Caledor Sky, washed with Nuln Oil and lighlighted with Leadbelcher. The pants are also based with Caledor sky and washed with Nuln oil, but before the wash went on, I did camo stripes with white and Lothern Blue.

And, for my uncle... "OGRE PANTS!"

Watchmaster Odin.

 Watchmaster Odin, Commander of the Deathwatch in the Gol'reth sector.
Not really any different techniques from my other Deathwatch models, but certainly a fun one to paint. I did do a small conversion, using a Primaris Space Marine helmet instead of the helmetless option he came with.

Deathwatch.

 Been working on my Deathwatch the last few painting sessions.  The biker model came from the Kill Team Cassius kit, and came molded as a White Scar. Most of the model, and the rest of the Deathwatch, are based Abaddon Black and highlighted with a dry brushing of Rakarth Flesh. The black on the bike itself is highlighted with Leadbelcher. I also used Rakarth Flesh to base coat over the black before doing the white, which helped greatly. The bird flying along side him is painted in resemblance to a Bald Eagle, as one flew across my yard right before I went to paint the bird. 

 For this guy, I knew when building it I wanted him to have a shield and after later deciding on a lance as his weapon, went with the look of bracing for a charge. The power weapon effect I use these days I really like and is fairly easy to pull off. I based the blade in Runefang Steel and then washed in Drakenhof Nightshade, to give it the baseline metallic blue. After letting the wash dry I went over the blade with Soulstone Blue, which gave it the final look, which stays a shiny, slightly shimmery blue.

Sergeant Dracus for my Melee Kill team is from the Black Templars. The blade for him is a Xeno Phaseblade and has a very Necron feel. Necron energy weapons are commonly green, so I based in Warpstone Glow and highlighted with Skarsnik Green. For the inscriptions on the shield, I based in Leadbelcher and applied a fairly heavy wash of Nuln Oil to darken between the letters, and then dry brushed Leadbelcher again to brighten the letters back up.

Kill Team: Dracus is almost complete, I have a few more models to paint up to add in, a Terminator, Vanguard Vet with jump pack, and another veteran with a power lance.
