Greetings Terrans, how goes it? It has been nearly a month since my last post, which is rubbish, but the good news is that this post is a two-fer, and is the conclusion of me painting the Blackstone Fortress set! It may have taken me 5 years, but I’m still calling it a win.

First up is the burny-choppy zealot, ‘Pious Vorne’:

The bonkers 40K Grimdark has been turned up to 11 for Vorne, but she’s a nice mini to paint for all that, with just the right amount of detail. I really didn’t try too hard with the painting, just a basic base & drybrush, followed by a good amount of gunge.

Next up is UR-025:

I didn’t have as much fun painting this guy as I hoped – the whole ‘man of iron’ fluff has so much potential, but this mini is just a bit bland. Also, it is shite to photograph. Anyway, I painted him up with a bunch of different colours, like he had been patching himself up with parts salvaged from fallen comrades… I don’t know if that comes across or not, but I ran out of fucks to give on him, so this is how he stays.

And that’s it folks – BS Fortress done! Here’s a final cheeky shot of all the characters to draw a line under the whole thing:

So that’s all for this post – I’ll be dipping back into the Silver Tower next for some Orctober fun next, so catch you all soon!
