Heresy Era Thousand Sons - Breacher Squad painted, and Shadowsword in progress

Rather productive of late, as my main entertainment center/general distraction has been in the shop. That means quite a bit of brush time! Trying to update the blog from my phone is proving to be thoroughly aggravating, so the next few posts are likely to be a little brief. First up, the Breacher Siege Squad got a lick of paint:

Pretty straightforward, but I'm not entirely happy with the gradient on the green gems now that I'm reviewing the pics. Definitely need to add a few more intermediate tones to them!

I've been slogging along on the Shadowsword for the Spireguard as well, got all the basic colors laid in, now it's time to start the interminable rivet painting step... Oof!

Heresy Era Thousand Sons - Breacher Siege Squad built

Just a quick hit today - With Magnus more or less complete (waiting on a nice day to get him sealed and snap some final pics), all that remains to finish off the army for the LVO are 20 shoulder pads for the tactical squad - unfortunately that too requires a nice day to get them primered. Since it's been cold and unpleasant that means more build time while I wait!

I've been needing more Troops choices for the Thousand Sons, so I dusted off some old models that I'd originally purchased for the Iron Hands way back when but never got around to building. A quick swap of heads (Maxmini) and shields (Scibor), and voila - Thousand Sons breachers!

We're supposed to have some warm-ish days coming up later in the week - finger crossed I can get a whole mess of priming and sealing done in one fell swoop!
