Warhammer World Photobomb pt4. Dark Angel Exhibition

The Exhibition on display was the artwork for the Dark Angel Codex, lucky me. This was actually quite shocking about just how much artwork is created for a Codex. I think there's a lot more original art going into these 6th Edition dexes now which may not be immediately obvious but does justify the price ins ome ways.

The artwork is mostly A2ish in size, which when you consider these character pictures are shrunk to around A6 that's a lot of effort for something that only takes up a fraction of a page.

They also had the original Black and White versions which were presumably re-coloured in Photoshop or for all I know they may have been preliminary drawings and the artists recreated it in colour.

Again, B&W and Colour version

Massive reflections aside this picture of the Ravenwing is what I'll be using for inspiration for mine. I'vev already expressed my concern over the white wings on the Ravenwing, making them more the Magpiewing. However the darkness in these pictures makes them that much more brooding. Lets hope I can pull it off without them just looking undercoated...

My mate Liam's Painted Tracked Warbike available from Zinge Industries.

My mate Liam has been adding his not un-prodigious painting skills to his friend Kit's custom wargaming accessories site - Zinge Industries. He's just completed painting this tracked warbike that'll no doubt be available soon.

Obviously they're suitable for those games that involve alternate WWII battles - DUST Tactics for instance. Equally though they may be exactly what your looking for in an armored Ork bike?

Some cool object source lighting coming from the front viewport and headlamp.

The view from the back.

The naked resin sculpt.

Don't know what this will retail at but worth keeping an eye on the website for it's release amongst checking out the other cool items. I particularly like the often overlooked ladders and hatches.

Warhammer World Photobomb pt3. Adeptus Astartes

Last time I visited the Exhibition Hall I split up all the Space Marines pic sinto chapters, now I thought I'd dump them altogether. So here we have the Dark Vengeance figures.

Ultramarines, Marneus Calgar and his pimp-wagon.

That's that Salamander Captain that was wounded and crawling across the battlefield in a White Dwarf report Nids versus Marines and Legion of the Damned.

Marble effect on a Dark Talon wing, because stone cladding is an absolute must for vehicles that need to fly, quality though!

How it's painted - Full sized Chaos Space Marine Helmet

We left Liam's life-sized Chaos Space Marine at the point of being primed and painted, so lets continue:

The lights go on, but is anybody home.

And here are the Chaos Space Marines that inspired the design, from 28mm scale to 1:1!
