Had a lot of fun trying my hand at recreating some of that classic John Blanche style using the Masterclass sets from @thearmypainter.bsky.social - the one 'outside' paint I allowed myself was Plate Mail Metal for highlights. Not sure I quite hit Blanchitsu heights, but that was a great exercise!
cheers!
Missed opportunity really
Couldn't fit all of the Knights in for this pic and there's more yet to be built, but the Black Baron of House Vyroni and his entourage of knights and Automata is taking shape 😀
Went to see The Beekeeper of Aleppo play last weekend. If it comes to a theatre near you, I highly recommend going. Thought provoking, funny, devastatingly sad, but an important insight into the plight of refugees. One of those things you can't stop thinking about afterwards.
First of 4 Vultarax Stratos-Automata for my Knights and Automta army
These days I use a mix of paint brands. Currently got roughly 70 Citadel paints that are unopened, but have clearly gone to crap/rock solid. All the other brands of paint are fine. Including my 20+ year old Citadel paints in the old pots. Ugh.
By all the gods, change the pots, not the name. 🤣
More Thanatars... lots more Automata to do next and then more Knights.

More Automata done and more to do
Work in progress. Thanatar Siege Automata for Legions Imperialis. Once these 2 test minis are done, I’ve got another 6 to do and then have to fight the temptation to not buy lots more 😜
Last night I built 1 each of the Legions Imperialis Domitar and Arlatax. Nice result once built, but so very frustrating to build. Whoever though it was a good idea to make totally unnecessarily separate components that are about 3mm wide needs to be catapulted into a gas giant.
Little Castellax Automata done last night.
The kastelan was missing bits because there were a few parts of it I used in previous builds, like the front shin armour became bicep armour for my dorn tankhead, the knee pads became elbow pads for my northstar armiger, and quite a few kastelan pieces went into my akira bike
And some more Knight Atrapos.
Test scheme for Automata in a Knight Household Aegis Cohort.

That wraps up this project. Really pleased with how they turned out: need to find more uses for resin in the future 🫧

A space marine in Iron Hands livery with a power tetsubo
Been a while since the realironhand did any Iron Hands so here's Caanok Var. The projection bit from the RH servo skull pinged off the sprue never to be seen again 😆 oh well!

Crap photo cos light in the gaming room is awful, but 3k of Alpha Legion & Sons of Horus with knight support for tomorrows game vs Dark Mechanicum
Work in progress, ran out of time tonight. Tidy up and weathering tomorrow night.
Got a lot more buildings to paint, but it’s getting there
Work continues on adding to our Legions Imperialis terrain.
I think I got to use my Iron Snakes of Ithaka Leviathan once before GW moved them to legends. 🤪 Will get used as a Brutalis one day I guess (not playing 40k at the mo).
