The Final Five

 

Good news!

I’ve finally received three of the last five models in my Clean Slate Challenge, and as you can see I’ve already painted my Dark Angel Librarian, from the Dark Vengeance box set.

For those of you following my blog you’ll know I’ve frustratingly been stuck waiting for the weather to improve, so I could get the last five models base coated. These are the Dark Angel Librarian, a Classic Dark Angel Commander, a converted Space Marine Standard Bearer , a classic Space Marine Commander and my converted Cthulhu model.

I just received the Dark Angel Librarian, and I painted him already, and I’m half way through painting the Classic Dark Angel Commander, and converted Space Marine Standard Bearer. I should have these two finished by then end of the week.

hopefully I will have the last two models shortly, and I think we may have this challenge finished in a fortnight.

It feels really good to be in the home straight.

Dark Vengeance: Interrogator Chaplain

 

This model was an absolute pleasure to paint.

My friend Jim gave me the Dark Angel models from the Dark Vengeance box set, and part of that was the limited edition Chaplain.

All the models from this set are so nicely modelled that it’s great to paint them.

I went fro a simple paint scheme and I think he turned out really well.

The smoke wasn’t hard to paint, and I was a bit worried about painting it, but I decided to go for simple white/grey smoke  rather than something crazy.

Again a very enjoyable model to paint.

Thanks Jim!

We had a little Christmas get together this weekend, and we had a small gift giving thing amongst friends.

Well I thought we were friends!

My ‘friend’ Jim has given me the Dark Angel models from the Dark Vengeance Box set as a Christmas present  what a g*t!

He single-handedly undone all the good work I’ve done on my clean slate challenge!

I got :

5 Terminators

3 Ravenwing Bikes

10 tactical marines

1 Librarian

I Space Marine Commander

I Interrogator Chaplain

Yes, best of all it was the Limited Edition set with the Chaplain in, because  I needed another Chaplain; this is my seventh Chaplain.

The models of course are  amazing, if you have not seen the models from the Dark Vengeance box set let me tell you they are some of the best plastic models I have ever seen.

And I could not buy them myself because of my challenge, how frustrating.

Thanks Jim 🙂

P.s. I just did some maths and I have painted 18 models so far; Jim just gave me 21 new models. That means after two months I’m 3 models down from from where I started from!
