Quick update this time around. Finished working on my two minis which were both an excuse to work on something non-blue for a while. First up is my Warhammer Fantasy/Age of Sigmar (if I ever decide to play either) Chaos Nurgle Champion
.

| This guy is one of the older metal OOP Champion minis with a plastic chaos warriors head from my bitz box (ebay purchase that was missing the original helmeted head). He has so many little details which were fun to paint, the rotting decapitated head was my favourite part :S |
I've mainly stuck to painting predominately 40K minis, but after looking at some of the recent releases for Age of Sigmar and the Total War Warhammer game's arrival, I had a sudden itch to paint something fantasy and came across this guy on Ebay. I've magnetised his head socket to allow me to switch in his bare head in the unlikely event that should I actually play some fantasy then I can easily switch his head out to represent him on his last wound (not sure how many he would have to begin with, but you never know). With this guy done, I'm actually tempted to try and put together a warband for the upcoming campaign event that GW is going to be hosting soon.
Next up we have something less filthy but no less armoured. A Blood Angel for my Horus Heresy Red Marked army.
This guy was made from some random parts I had lying around (eg. old space marine banner top, White Dwarf subscription mini's chainsword arm, Betrayal at Calth and Tactical squad parts) and is meant to represent a volunteer from the Blood Angels Legion present at Ultramar that joins Aeonid Thiel's Red Marked. At some point he will be accompanied by either more of his Legion brethern or act as an assault squad leader for the Ultramarines. Additionally this guy was also based on my friend Myk of Little Plastic Castle.
Having already been painting red helmets I felt that it would be just as easy to paint a marine in red armour. Using the older foundation paint Merchite Red, I think I've managed to achieve a convincing colour for this Blood Angel. The winged skull ornament on his right shoulder guard is also a little nod to the awesome Blood Quest comic series, which was my first introduction to the Blood Angels and still has a special place in my heart.
