Description It seems that I put up some ok, but not great, artwork here. Then, occasionally, I strike gold with something I am really satisfied with. I think this is one of those few paintings I really like.

It was extremely hard to find a good gold for the armour, as I wanted all of the colours to be quite warm. It took a lot of trial and error. I started off quite simple and it just kind of built up from there. The fur on his shoulder was a happy accident. I'm not quite satisfied with the sword, however, but maybe I'm just niggling at it too much.

Somewhat based on Warhammer 40,000 Grey Knights, but very loosely.

One final thing: Guess what book I got the name from.

Macharius is actually the name of the Lord Solar Macharius, who conquered hundreds of worlds, and you can even get his model in the Collector's Section of Games Workshop.

Pretty cool.


Awesome picture!

Seen the new IG codex yet?

Go go Emaris psykers! I just might have to make some Traitor Guard for my Chaos Army.

Ohhhhhhh yes! My local Games Workshop had a preview of the codex, but the main thing I'm excited about is the new artillery and leman russ variants. I was disappointed that they got rid of the regimental doctrines, becuase I wanted to give them carapace armour, mechanized transports, grenadiers and rough riders, so I was a bit disappointed with the changes.
But the new psyker, commissar lord and regimental advisors will be of big use to me in an apocalypse battle.

And a leman russ with a 20 shot strength 6 chain gun is just freaking awesome.

But I'll still blow'em to bits with my Chaos and Tau.

You won't be saying that when you see my combined army.

I currently have two - a Chaos Fellblade and a Chaos "Fellstorm" (Stormlord with BS4), gave it the mini volcano cannon. So fun to just run them around the field of battle and blast things out of the way. >_>
