Starter Kits

See below my recent exploits. I worked on two starter kits I had lying around.
These boxes are a great way to get acquainted with the 40K Universe.

Assault on Black Reach (2014)
This was my first encounter with the space marines. Somehow it took some years to paint this kit. I already had so many units to paint that I just went for the default units, which you can build from more parts and position to your wishes.
I did not go for the Ultramarine look, but went for the Imperial Fists, i just like to paint units in such a way that a lot of detail is visible. Even though these guys have relatively simple stances, when properly painted they look awesome.


Dark Vengeance (2015)
This kit was surprisingly detailed and great fun to paint.
I went for a look that conveyed they are old and battered but still menacing and combat ready.

Dark Angel Terminators

The hobby is alive and kicking. Currently I am painting the Dark Angels squadron to complete the space marine force from this great starter kit.
Unfortunately i am still waiting for the right airbrush colour to arrive... meanwhile I worked details, like this sergeant´s face.


Still painting


This hobby can grind to a halt and suddenly come back full force.
Last year i had few shorts bursts of activity mostly related to my main force: the Tau.

Tau
Last year I finished some kroot, a pathfinder team and a Riptide. I went for a camouflaged look, matching my Tau vehicles.
