The World Eaters are finished so far. Just not too sure about the blood on the swords. I'm really not used to paint blood, I don't think it looks good unless it's done really, really well, it doesn't fit with how I like Chaos Space Marines or Space Marines to look like and I hate messing up perfectly fine paintjobs (like on the chainsword casings) after they're finished. The client asked for a "little" blood on the weapons. Ha-ha. What do you think happens when you swing a chainsaw at someone? Right, you get LOTS of blood ALL over the chainsaw. Anyhow, I hope it looks alright.
As for other stuff, I currently am trying to wrap up the current commissions, so...
...oh right, my internet connection is jerking around the past few days and it's AMAZINGLY annoying. It usually goes all well but sometimes, it just won't work for five minutes. Really, really upsetting. So I have to just kill some time...hrm...oh hey, I changed a tire today. That was pretty manly. What else...I got a furniture beetle in my window frame. Threw some poison at it two days ago but I can still hear it munching my wooden window frame. Should be dead soon tough, otherwise I'll have to throw more poison at it. So, what have you been do...
Ah, the internet connection works again, so here:

I really understand why some people refuse to paint vehicles. It's pretty tedious. I like that red globe thing in the middle. Has a "
attack its weak point for massive damage"-feel to it so I painted it in a red, glowy fashion.
What about Space Hulk, I hear you ask. Taking a break from it, but I will try to finish it soon to have that done. As for these DKoK testminis...argh. I fear those. I have yet to find the fun in painitng them, I have to figure out a proper way to paint them and I just hate the overally feel of uncertainty about them. It's a total break from how I usually paint, I mean I haven't painted "realistic-looking" miniatures in years
Anyway, enough of that bloggery. Hope you like the colourful pictures.

) I tried to give it some more definition by adding final highlights. The idea was not only to have the armour plates more well-defined but also to tone down the orange highlights by using a fleshy colour for finishing highlights. That's a little trick I tend to do on red armour.
