Work on the desk

I have realised that my lack of recent progress is due to painting too many similar models and colour schemes. After painting a Nurgle Rhino and Plague Marine squad I've found it hard to start on the other Plague Marine squad and I've still got some bikers to do yet also. As far as the Crimson Fists go, I've made a start on the Sternguard sergeant but even with the Crimson Fists I need a break to avoid boredom.

I ordered Lucius the Eternal and a Slaanesh lord from GW and made my Noise Marine Champion and Noise Marine with Blastmaster out of them (I already have the Slaanesh weapons pack). Using a few other bits, including some MKV legs from Forgeworld, I made a 3rd Noise Marine. Now if you remember my chaos army list you will have known that I don't have any SOnic Weapons in my squad apart from the Doom Siren. Whilst that is true, I couldn't pass up using those awesome weapons and who knows, I might use them one day.



I recently watched all 3 Lord of the Rings films again after not seeing them for some years. Natuarally this made me want all the miniatures! I used to have some back when the films first came out but sold them. I regret that now but after looking through GWs website and almost dying from how expensive these are, I looked on eBay and managed to pick up loads of unpainted minis for a fraction of the price.

My first piece is Sauron.



I have plenty of other ideas for LOTR dioramas which I hope to make sometime in the future. In the meantime I have these guys to give me something different to paint.
