Yet more WIP Red Corsairs

Evening readers,

Small update time again, slowly chugging away on the corsairs. Here are the next 2 in their WiP stage:

Idea for these Pair are that they will be sword brothers formerly of the Swords of Surthur chapter(Home brew but I had to get some viking themed stuff in somewhere) that turned their backs on the imperium together.

That is the rough idea for their fluff, I shall refine it when I post them both up when they are painted.

Started converting the 5th marine now who shall likely be a former member of the raptors chapter.

In other hobby news the sedition wars kickstarter is going incredibly well, glad to see them getting the amount of support and I'm now really looking forward to getting the game. Currently contemplating whether to increase my pledge in order to get the new optional character modelClick on the image below for a link to the kickstarter page:

Also I shall be entering the Hasslefree Miniatures sculpting competition that is running from July through to September. You have to use their new female armature as the basis with 3 categories to choose from, I have my plans for this but I shall keep them secret for now ;)

Corsair number 2

Afternoon Readers,

Been a while sinc ethe last update however work has been keeping me busy, however I have found the time to finish painting the second corsair:

Again hes come out rather well and despite the red being mixed separately from the red i used on the champion it seems to match it pretty much perfectly.

The third corsair is nearly finished GS wise, its just the finer details that are making him take longer with corsair number 4 in the early stages of conversion.

In other hobby related news I finally cracked and invested in Studio Mcveys sedition wars boxed game on kickstarter, the amount of stuff you get was just to good a deal to pass up and its always good to support one of the smaller wargaming companies :)

I plan to try and improve my painting so as I can do the models justice when they arrive, which is set for sometime in November. Might even have a crack at making 3D fully modelled versions of the card tiles that come with it too..............but thats for the future ;)

Red Corsair Champion finished

Good afternoon readers,

As promised I have been working on the champion over the last 2 days and bar  a few touch ups I've spotted on the pictures.

So I present Reinholt the fallen Templar:

Rather pleased with how he has turned out, looks so much better than even my improved word bearers. The tyrants claw was a bit of a pain to paint but no where near as hard as I thought it was going to be.

A thank you goes out to Mr Feral for suggesting the turquoise for the power weapon :)

Well im back at work tomorrow though I should get chance to start painting the next corsair over the weekend.

More Corsair WiPs

Evening Readers,

Well it appears summer has actually hit us here in England, 1 week so far of high temperatures with it due to continue. We all know that this is the "summer" and after these few weeks of sun we will revert to the more traditional British summer of Rain.

The temperatures combined with work have slowed down my progress on the corsairs, however  I do have a few WiP shots, first up a paint in progress picture of the squad leader:

Rather happy with him so far but there is a log of work yet to be done. He is my first use of the newer GW paints too with his armour being based arounf a 50/50 mix of khorne and mephiston Red. I am impressed with them seem to flow a lot better than the older foundation paints.

Next up are some WiP of the next 2 corsairs one is far my advanced than the other:

I've got 2 days off now so hope to get the painted guy finished off and get these 2 fully converted.

As ever let me know what you think, now I'm off to watch Iron Sky...........
