Cypher



One of my absolute favorite Warhammer 40k characters! I desperately want to build a squad of fallen angels to accompany this "true hero"...

Alpha Legion Veterans


These are the first models I painted during my time in Chile (2.5 years ago). At the same time, they are almost the last models of my evil Alpha Legion.  Sorry for the bad pics, but they were my first miniature pics ever... :-)

Plague bearers



Death Guard - Nurgle Marines - Unit 1









I imagine the Death Guard still wearing their old pre-heresy armors (or at least  parts of it) with some chaotic modifications. Thus, I chose the light grey as major color. And if you look very carefully you can even spot some rests of the old markings. 
I wanted to accomplish an cold and acid  industrial look, so I didn't sculpt any demonic mutations, but a bit of plague boils...

Hope you like the unit...

Necrons - Description

My inspiration for this army are the Terminator movies, especially in the second movie (I think) where one can see the metallic machines looking like skeleton warriors walking over and crushing the skulls of humans.
So my Necrons should walk on the bones of human kind and they have to be metallic with glowing red eyes like in the movies.
 I combined this with  my vision of the Necrons: They can only rest for thousands of years without any suffering if they are build of superior materials which do not corrode. To accomplish this exotic metallic look, I tried to use some blue colors in the metallics. So they should not look somehow rusty or used, aka no weathering.
I really like the green glow of the weaponry but not these green sticks supplemented by GW though.
