Customizing

My Baharroth, Swooping Hawks, and wings came today! There are no photos of Baharroth yet because he was being very disagreeable. (I almost detached him from the metal part that sticks into the base and had to repair with Green Stuff. Now he's drying.) I managed to put the wings onto my Wraithlord with some Green Stuff and am trying to make them look a bit like the ones on the Swooping Hawks.




Swooping Hawks!




One wing on.




Both wings on.










Ew, dirty Space Marine.


I've put more Green Stuff on the wings to make them look more attached. I'm just waiting for it to dry to add some gem-like bits like the ones that are on the Swooping Hawks to make it look more like it belongs. I'll take some more pictures once that's done.

The Beginning!

Back in 2005 my then boyfriend started playing Warhammer 40k. I thought it was ridiculous to pay money for little dudes that came unpainted and unassembled. "I will never pay out that kind of money for something I have to put together myself!" I thought.


So now, six years later, more of my friends are playing and having a good time building and painting together. Last week I bought the first few pieces of my army.





Here is one squad of Dire Avengers. I bought two, but haven't started putting together the second squad yet.





Exarch






The Exarch from another angle. Sorry for the blurriness.






Not very exciting, since they're metal models, but here are my Farseer and Warlock Bodyguard.





My unfinished, blurry Wraithlord. I know he's not very dynamic; he was the first model I put together. He is unfinished because I am waiting for pegasus wings to come in. I'm going with a Swooping Hawk look for my army theme, and it was suggested to me to put the wings on his back to go along with it.





My partially assembled Fire Prism, waiting for a base coat.


With the pegasus wings for my Wraithlord, I am currently waiting for my Swooping Hawks and Baharroth to come in, which should be this week.


I haven't completely planned out my colour scheme yet, but I'm thinking of a blue-grey theme with dark red highlights. I have a lowly Space Marine I'm practicing on ;)
