The Commissar and the Cannon

Following on from last week's hobby labours i continued my work my 3 WIP armies, and managed to produced some finished products which i would like to share with you today. First up is the colonel Commissar himself, Ibram Gaunt (once again i apologise for the faint black bars in these images, i do have a proper camera now but it lacks a SD card):

                              

Personally speaking i feel this is the best single model i have painted, after i finished this model i sat back and thought that there was no way i could do it better and am very pleased with the finished result, he will make a fine commander for the Tanith.

But Gaunt wasn't the only Ghost i finished today. Before i started on him i did a practice model to see if i got the colour scheme right, and here is that model:

In the books the battle dress of the Ghosts is described as "Mat Black" which isnt a lot to go on. But once more i was happy with how tis model turned out and it should make for a good overall theme for the army.

And finally on the Ghosts front i finished assembling 3 more models, Milo (the Senior Command Sqaud's Banner Bearer), "Mad" Larkin (one of the army's snipers) and a Ghost with a Shotgun:

So thats the Ghosts for now but that wasn't all i did today. No doubt many of you have seen the hideous Khorne Skullcannon model. Its a model that looks out of place on a WHFB battlefield and looks pretty ugly in general. Well i decided that for my Skullcannon i would try to make it fit in with the WHFB aesthetic and this was what i came up with:

Removing all the "Car" elements of the model was the main aim and having it pulled by a Juggernaut seemed like the best way to do this as well as removing all the pipes that dotted the model. I hope to have it painted by tomorrow night as it is a centerpiece model.

Thats all for today, hopefully you liked the models showcased here. One final note before i go, i played my first game of 40k on Thursday and overall i enjoyed it, it was a kill team game so it was not a "Full" game but it was fun none the less, so far 7th ed 40k is looking pretty good. Until next time.
