The idea behind painting a little bit every day is supposed to get you to churn through projects, and finish loads of things. The reality is my painting desk is covered in half-finished WIPs - but that just means sometimes I get the joy of spending a painting session solely on the fun finishing touches! This is not one of those days. This is a Blocking In Colours day. The more I paint, the more I find this - that which used to be the most tedious part - my favourite bit. No stress, no fuss, just blocking in colours and making progress. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #gamesworkshop #warhammer30k #horusheresy #horusheresy2point0 #blackshields30k #blackshields #endrydhaar #rivenhound #knighterrant #hobbystreak #hobbystreakday436 (at Wakefield) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn5bL7wteAg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Knocked together an old friend, today! A long time ago, before I made an Instagram and was just knocking around online, I absolutely hyperfixated on Endryd Haar, the Riven Hound, and the characters of Josh Reynolds' Blackshield novels. In fact, my username in quite a lot of places is still RivenHound (with a scattering of Deakons and Ordo Scriptuses here and there). Hell, if I recall correctly, the only reason I'm not RivenHound on IG was because it was already taken! Regardless, I've spent a long time imagining how I would make my own version of Haar. When Watch Captain Artemis came out in plastic, I bought him specifically for this conversion - but here we are, years later, and the model was half built and lost in a pile of half-forgotten projects. Finally built, loosely based on the artwork from the Short Story and Audio book covers. He's going to have pride of place in my display case when he's finished. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #gamesworkshop #warhammer30k #horusheresy #horusheresy2point0 #blackshields30k #blackshields #endrydhaar #rivenhound #knighterrant #hobbystreak #hobbystreakday429 (at Wakefield) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnkRl-vtI5b/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
