Scythes of the Emperor - Contemptor - Nearly finished

So here we are another miniature nears completion, this is pretty much done barring some tufts and insignia.  Decided to go with a red helmet (Fnar) as the black one just seemed to sink into his mightily tubby yellow majesty.  So behold the photos of none other than "Tubbs" the Contemptor.

A couple of spots need another coat of matt varnish but otherwise this is as good as done awaiting its finishing touches.

Scythes of the Emperor - Contemptor - Part 1

Now I wasn't going to have Dreadnoughts (and a few other things) for fluff reasons, however I had to find another hundred points for the aforementioned tournament and had one knocking around (as you do).  Like the Speeders I got the base finished and not much further but here he is anyway "Tubs" the Contemptor.

I have actually made a bit more progress on this fellow but as I intend to get some painting done on him tomorrow before work I figure that a snapshot can wait a little longer (such a tease).

Scythes of the Emperor - Landspeeder Typhoons - Part 1

To cut back on painting I decided to "convert" some Forgeworld Tempests into Typhoons to save painting the crew.  However these got put way back due to a missing component but all the bits are here now.  While I was waiting I did get as far as sorting out the bases as seen below.

Also quickly bunged a "Typhoon" on top of one so people could get a rough idea.

Scythes of the Emperor - Predator

As promised photos are indeed inbound, photobucket appears to have fixed itself (who can understand the vagueries of the machine spirit) so its time to get on with the show.  I was trying to get this army finished for a one day tournament at my local GW (incidentally our team sucked and took home the wooden spoon, oops), however the plans of mice and men go oft awry and I failed.  However it does mean I managed more progress over that time than I would have, this includes getting the this predator up to the same standard as the previously featured Las-Plas Razorback.

Pics are very ropey as I took them just next to the window for light but I think you get the general idea.

Awaiting the Tech Priests

Ok I'll admit it, I may or may not have managed to lock myself out of my photobucket account. There are new photos awaiting publishing so just as soon as I get the account sorted out I'll be coming in your eyes with more hobby goodness. Fingers crossed it won't be long. TTFN

Scythes of the Emperor - Las Plas Razorback

Well I was going to try and do a bit more of a step by step bit of blogging for this one but things have changed.  I have a one day tournament on Feb 4th that requires everything to be painted and as the tickets only went on sale four weeks before the event i'm going to have to pull my finger out.

So the photos jump from this

To these ones

So it's mostly finished barring a few touch up's, transfers and a base.  I'm going to be leaving the transfers and baseing til I have the predator I'm about to start work on up to the same standard and do them both together.

So with a bit of luck, hard work and fitting things around work and man-whoreing I should have the army virtually complete by the beginning of February.  So hang onto your hat's folks, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

Scythes of the Emperor - Scout Bikers - Finished

Well as far as finished ever gets for me, so these guys still need a rim job (fnar) and their iconography (as well as needing a dust). These have been finished a little while but work is always crazy over the festive period and I think i'm finally sober enough to start posting again. The photos aren't great quality but wanted to get something to show i'm still alive.
