Overall, they're fun to paint, but a serious pain given how difficult it is to paint black, as well as the sheer amount of "stuff" is on each model (purity seals, icons, etc.)

Blood Angels Death Company!
Just got my hands on the new Death Company box and immediately got to painting. I have also included here a Death Company Dreadnought I did a few weeks back.

Tervigon Conversion
Here is a recent project: a converted Tervigon.
I've seen a lot of people doing them out of a Trygon and Carnifex but I've never been a fan of spending $100 on a single conversion. That being said this is a simple one using left over Trygon parts with a Carnifex base. I did, however, use some Greenstuff to widen the actual body, thus giving it a more caterpillar/serpantine form.

Tyranids!!!!
The start of my overly ambitious Tyranid army. It is a variation of the Blue Crab/Desert Rose scheme I found here: http://www.necrotales.com/necroTutorials/tut_painting_tyranids_01.php
Not sure what to do with the Tyrant, got him before the new codex came out under the assumption "they'll always be useful". Now I find him a bit to costly... But I have him, so oh well!
Prototype Blood Angels
Here we have some early concept ideas for future Blood Angels (this was some two years back) featuring first Angels Encarmine (bottom), who where eventually scrapped, to my Marrow Suckers/Unnamed force seen below.
Basically I wanted some concept of "zombie marines" without them being actual zombies. Hence the battle damage resembling torn flesh rather than armor damage. This was also the first time I experimented with the blowing eye effect, which I continue to use to this day.

Plastic Grey Knights (Part 4)
Lastly, here are some painted Terminators, including a Brother-Captain Stern.
Plastic Grey Knights (Part 3)
And here we have some of the actual Metal Grey Knight models. Nothing much to say here, just posting them to compare to the plastic variety seen below.
Plastic Grey Knights (Part 2)
Here we have some of the custom Grey Knights all painted up. The lucky ones who got a back banner would be the unit Justicars. All in all, I tried to give each Knight an individual feel, right down to posing and the fact that each of them have a unique name on their shoulder pad.
The painting was overly easy, just a lot of detail to cover.
The armor is Boltgun, given a watered down Azual Blue wash, the gold is Shining Gold (which by the way is the only one I will use), and the red is Malachite Red (basecoat, another great color from GW).
