From JohnP - 28mm Burch's Bluff Legio Custodes Caladius (50 pts)

It's been quite a while since my last post. My apologies. I recently completed a commission for a good friend of mine. We're heading to Adepticon in a little less than a month, and I've got to get another one of these painted up for him as a commission! Yikes! Commission work pretty much sank my ability to focus on AHPC, unfortunately, but I've learned a great deal from the experience. Hopefully I can get a few more things in before the competition concludes. Comments and criticisms are welcome.

I'd like to saunter over to Burch's Bluff, because this here Caladius Tank is the workhorse of the Legio Custodes vanguard armies. It served admirably when the Wolf King and his sons scoured Prospero with the aid of the silent sisters and the Legio Custodes. It continues to earn glorious reputation in battle some 10,000 years later.

Comments and feedback are always welcome. Thanks for looking!

Awesome looking tank here!  The model is great and has a very sci-fi almost Buck Rodgers pulp look to me.  I also love the effective use of the unit colours in the front panels against the gold of the rest of the model.  Also the gun heat effects at the end of the barrel are top notch.  I wish you guys luck at Adepticon!

from JPaul - Salamanders Impulsor (20 pts)

I got a little bit of commission work for a close friend of mine. This is an Impulsor from Warhammer 40,000 (28mm). Conveniently, he's a fellow Salamanders player, so it's at least within my creative wheelhouse. This is a rare case where I had to precisely color match someone else's scheme. Luckily, my buddy sent me a pile of his paints to ease the process. The base isn't done, but that's actually by design! That the one step he still wants to do, and I'm a-okay with that. I love the look of a good base, but I am not a huge fan of painting them. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

For a point of reference, I thought I'd include one of the Intercessors I painted for my own Salamanders just to highlight the subtle differences in our schemes. I think I'll probably use the Impulsor's black moving forward, but I'm a bit more fond of my vibrant green. It's less modern-military, which I actually like for an absurd sci-fi game.

Lovely figs! Neat and crisp with a nice weathered look - I'm sure your mate will love it!

from JohnP: Necron Overlord (10 Points)

For my first official post as part of the Analogue Hobbies Painting Contest, I'd like to introduce Phaeron Ozymandias, my Necron Overlord. I started a new Necrons army just before the start of the new year, but a combination of the holidays and sick kids prevented me from getting a lot done. I've kicked it into gear now, though. Expect more in the near future!

From DaveD, - Welcome along to the challenge John. Its a little beauty of a first entry . Love the work on greens. So its 5 points for the basic , with a an opening gamibit bonus of another 5 for the fine effort - just cause i can!
