Here's a trial list:

He's done.

Works like a charm ... placed on a decorated 60mm base. No problems with LOS or model size on the table, and he looks cooler (IMHO) than a Dreadnought model.

I'm converting an Eden Miniatures Grey Daimyo into a Lamenters Furioso Librarian.

Here's a quick shot of the unpainted conversion next to an AOBR Dreadnought.

A power-armored Chaplain for the Lamenters Space Marines.

I tried some new techniques for the gold -- a basecoat of Tin Bitz, black wash, Shining Gold highlights, sepia wash, and a a gloss coat on top.

I decided to try a test miniature of another Blood Angels successor chapter, the Blood Drinkers.

These guys are red with yellow trim.

First, the start: Army Painter Colour Primer on one of my AOBR Marines.

The Cor Semper Fidele after washes, drybrushes, and weathering powder.

Front of the "Always-Faithful Heart"

New techniques:

• Sponged on Charadon Granite, which works great for paint chips and general damage.
• Forgeworld Black Soot weathering powder around the exhausts. Better results than a black wash.
• Forgeworld Light Earth powder on the tracks, mixed with turpentine substitute ("white spirit"). Good for general mud.

In progress: the Razorback Cor Semper Fidele "Always-Faithful Heart", for the Lamenters Chapter Space Marines.

Standard basecoat: Army Painter Daemonic Yellow over a thin coat of white primer. In this state they're pretty much a Schoolbus of Death.

I've done some detail work. Masking those larger checkerboards is tedious, but produces a clean look with a little clean-up on the edges. The door is one of my custom Lamenters Chapter designs, engraved and cut on an Epilog laser machine at TechShop.

Lamenters Assault Marine.

Here's the test model for some Assault Marines (guys with jetpacks). I used more highlighting and tried to be careful about the areas of sepia wash over yellow.

Note: photos are about 250% enlargements (the figure is 30mm tall).
