Veterans of the Vostroyan 7th (and their stolen ride)

Well, I figure before the new shiny toy arrives, I should show that some of the "Meat and Potatoes" (as my old friend Pat is wont to say) of the army is completed, in the form of a shiny veteran squad. well, when I say completed...

Vostroyan 7th, Blue Squad
"for Mother Rus-I mean, Vostrya!"

Standard veteran squad, here with an autocannon converted from the stock HB (simply done by adding an autocannon barrel to the bolter) and a re-purposed flamer now running as a meltagun. Shortly, I will be removing said autocannon and adding in two more meltaguns to make Blue Squad a pure meltavet squad.
The Chimera is stolen, as the white stripes and funky blue uplink denote it as belonging to the CCS, or it will do, when they are finished...

Up next, a CCS and a Valkyrie, now off to paint them!
Thanks for reading, and if you have any comments, id love to hear them.

The Emperor of Mankind

Yeah, the title is right, this post is about the one, the only, The Emperor, Him.

Not the ridiculously overpriced (and generally a crappy knock-off) one you can find on ebay for something around £70, but one I picked up, with my Custodes, for a much more reasonable price, and a far far nicer model (IMHO).

Well, he is finished. I wanted to go all out on this, try my absolute best and do things I have never managed to pull off before. I wanted to wet-blend the sword and do a proper freehand scroll on the cloak as the two main things, the rest I just wanted to do well...

And, well, you be the judge

Easy Highlighting

Its not often I do a tutorial, but this one idea popped into my head, I tried it and it was so simple and easy, I figured I should share it!
What follows is an easy way to give yourself a guide on where and how highlights could be applied.
