ExoCowboy's Painting Adventures

[ExoCowboy]

Hello all!

I am new on this forum, but have been painting miniatures for over 15 years. Running different painting logs have helped me to stay motivated about finishing things, so I hope coming here also helps me to get more stuff done.

Here is my current project, making a small chaos knight from a defiler. Still WIP with both converting and painting, but coming up quite nicely.

I am trying to collect my stuff to my own website also, www.exocowboy.net, where you can see my older stuff.

Shoulder plates of my freeblade knight "Hound of Justice". Lots of nice areas for freehand.

He is Seth, the Hound of Justice, the XVIII of the Retributors

Almost done, still shoulder shield and other stubber required.

I don't know why, but until I saw your knight, I'd never considered havign the weapon arms that way around...I just always would have put the chainblade on the left arm. I like it, can give me some variety in the bunch of knights I'm planning.

As promised, I finished my first Salamanders dreadnought. Weapons converted by my friend Barzano.

He is a Freeblade called "Vulture King".

I'm really digging the free hand and the short barrel on the battle cannon. Looks so brutal.

I finished a Storm Talon for my Salamanders. Added some spacers between the hull and wings and changed the places of the weapons. A little bit dark pics, should get better ones some day.

Got me an Avatars of War Dark Elf Princess and converted her to have flayed one claws for hands. Waiting for the new Dark Eldar book, she will be a lord for my new army.

I really like this conversion. Its slight but very effective.

Some better pics of Storm Talon and first Tactical Squad finished also. Meltas all the way!

It is always a good time to start a new army! So I started to raid my bits and pieces, and started some more Dark Eldar to do. My Dark Elf Corsairs ended up losing their heads and arms, and got some old school Dark Eldar bits for the return. Sorry for the yellowy pics, but you get the idea:

Some redoing going on with my Ultramarines. My old captain got a facelift and was turned into Lord Agemman of the 1st company.
