Ok, some minor updates, but this will be it for awhile;

First up: greater daemon with noise marine escort:








This is after a drybrush of tallern flesh, then some dead flesh for the wings. The marines got a couple washes of leviathan purple. the black bits will be gold or silver. I'm going for the jeweled look on the giant can opener she is wielding (yup, it's a she - one of our friends noted that the bloated belly made her look pregnant...)

Next, the daemon prince, Mr. Tentacle:

Next, Objectives. Still trying to figure out exactly how to do a crater, so I haven't started on that crashed talon of foreboding yet. However, a typical "lost commander" objective marker:





...And the APC with the thrown track:







The only thing left building-wise is to put some teeth on the thrown track. It was fun adding the open hatches and details. I added some muddy tread-marks in putty for the track that was still on - it might be a little hard to see in the pic. This will probably be the blitz, as it's a relatively bigger, rectangle base.

looking good Matt. I have to say though, why would a daemon need an escort? Also, the pink daemon looks a bit too, I dunno, cute. It doesn't seem to really jump out and look sinister, more like Lotsahugs from Toy Story 3.

I can see the Rhino tracks, cool touch

Looking really great

Demon Prince stand is an infantry stand, so technically, it should have 3+ models on it...

ah, good point. Besides, perhaps they'll help to stop him getting distracted with killing/ torturing stuff to do what he's supposed to (if that doesn't involve killing/ torturing stuff that is)?

Love the details on the stranded APC, great work.

Hi captPiett,

Your blog really is impressive! So much, in fact, that after I'm done writing this reply I'm going to the painting station

I have a question about a couple of your models; can I contact you via PM?

ahh. missed this last time.

crater. take PVA glue and tissue paper. make gooey, sticky mess. place on flat surface and poke. leave to dry. paint.

Matt's away for a month or so and I'm not sure if he's going to have regular access to the internet. Feel free to post your questions though, I might be able to answer them having painted with him most Mondays.
