After a long weekend in Sweden (’twas awesome) it’s back to the painting and since being back in sunny Scotland (it is actually sunny for once :/) I have now completed the Russ and Korvydave. Here they are;

The russ has not yet been named, so I’ve left the forward red sections unadorned so this can be added at a later date if necessary.
Well I may have got distracted by a certain Korvydae figure, now re-named Korvydave in honor of the owner, and I have to say he is just lovely. As always from Forge World character figures there is so much history and detail on the figure. And the face, oh the face, such a crisp casting gives such a great area to paint. Never before have I had so much fun painting a face (although he always reminds me of Robocop without the helmet

The russ is now at the stage of getting the details added, with the main hull finished off. And here it is;

Onto the next segment of the Death Korp army, which will be this lovely Leman Russ:

Looks like it will be in a similar colour scheme to the basilisk, so will be doing the main hull and battle damage this afternoon so keep your eyes peeled for an update 😀
The vendetta has had the last finishing touches applied, and is now good to go 😀

Added some more of the details to the vendetta today. There’s a few black panels with red stripes, which I think have ended up subtle, but good for linking the vendetta to the other units.

The cockpit just needs a few more details added, finishing off the pilots for a start. But I also think I need the rim of the cockpit a different colour or it just blends in.

Been working on the vendetta and battlesuit over the weekend. The main hull of the Vendetta is done, which to be honest is the bulk of the work. Still have the cockpit detailing, a couple of red/black sections to help tie it into the rest of the force, and the name, Cookie Cutter, stencilled across the nose (this will be accompanied by the image of the cookie monster).

I’ve only painted a wee bit more of the battlesuit, just finished off the blacks and painted any lenses. The next step is to add the sept markings and figure out if I want to add differently coloured sections to the armour??
XV8 Crisis Battlesuit
With the Pathfinders finished I’ve found myself with a lot of enthusiasm for Tau, so I got cracking into the battlesuit. So far I’ve only done the red and basecoated the black areas, but tbh that makes up almost half the painting involved.

I also got started on the Vendetta for the Death Korp commission and it certainly is a beast:

I now have a couple of jobs in the pipeline along with the Death Korp. First up is some seriously heavy firepower:
Death Korp Reinforcements
And after all of that I have something smaller to tackle in the form of Raven Guard Shadow Captain Korvydae:
