40(+) Days of 40K - Chaplain

 

Chaplain of the Tangermarines Space Marine Chapter. 

40(+) days of 40K - Khorne Berserker

 

Khorne Berserker of the World Eaters Chaos Space Marine Legion. 

40(+) Days of 40K - Primaris Eliminator

Going back and filling in some of the prompts I missed. Day 29 was "Primaris", so I decided to do a Primaris Eliminator.

Primaris Eliminator of the Tangermarines Space Marine Chapter. 

40(+) Days of 40K - Servo Skull

 Back to these, for the moment. 

I didn't do any "challenge drawings" the last two days. Kind of took a break. Back at it now, though. 

Servo-Skull

A Servo-Skull is a cybernatic floating drone made of electronics, machinery, anti-gravity field generators... and the skull and brain of a deceased citizen of the Imperium - so they may continue their duty to the Emperor even after their body has passed. 

40 Days of 40K - Noise Marines

 I've been less committed to this challenge the last few days, but I wasn't going to miss doing a NOISE MARINE!!

J'Frer of the Soroibus Tortus Noise Marine band

Another illustration based on a miniature of my own... 

Soroibus Tortus - from left to right; J'Frer, Marcus, D'Snydr, Ajax, and Fingur. They are part of a small detachment of Emperor's Choldren led by Deamon Prince Garfongdong. 

40(+) Days of 40K - sort of...

 I needed to do something different, so I started on this last night. All the drawings for these challenges I've been working on have been in these little 8"x8" watercolur sketchbooks, which are fun... but I don't LOVE working that small.. and I needed to do something different. 

I prepared a handful of watercolour sheets, taping them down to boards a few weeks (months!?) back, so they'd be ready for any moment I felt the urge to use them... 

That urge struck last night while watching RuPaul's Drag Race with Amanda. 

Still 40K inspired, but not really following any of the prompts from the 40 Days of 40K Challenge. I'm not even sure what I was thinking...? Is this a ganger in the underhive? Is it a member of a Rogue Trader's crew preparing for boarding action?! I don't know. Just a dude with a bolter and a chainsword (and his faithful servo skull companion) ready for action.

40 Days of 40K - Dreadnought

 Day 27 - Dreadnought

Hey, anybody else remember when Wraithlords were just called "Eldar Dreadnoughts"...? I do.. so that's the Dreadnought you're gettin gfrom me today!

Wraithlord Melynaearian

(Again, based on one of my own minis!)

40 Days of 40K - Grey Knight

 #22 - Grey Knight

Brother Patrick - Grey Knight Purgator with Psilencer.

Based on this miniature from my own small force of Grey Knights. 

40 Days of 40K - Crisis Suit

 #23 - Crisis Suit

Getting a little out of order, as I haven't quite finished #22 - Grey Knights. Perhaps later today. Tomorrow, I might jump ahead to #27 - just so the days match up with the prompt number, and just catch up with 24-26 when I can... 

T'au Crisis Suit.

I was originally going to do a Crisis Suit when the T'au prompt came up a week or so ago, but then looked ahead and realized it showed up as a prompt of its own. 

40 Days of 40K - Terminator

 

The prompt was just "Terminator", so I chose to do a CHAOS Terminator of the Emperor's Children chapter. 

I forgot to add a few more spikes... 

49 Days of 40K - Kroot

This would be half way... but there are 50 pages in the sketchbook I've been doing them in, so... I've added 10 more to my list. You can see the full list in the pages, here:

40 Days of 40K Challenge 

For today, though... 

Kroot! Xenos Mercenaries often found in the employ of the T'au. 

40 Days of 40K - Chaos Cultist

 Day19 - Chaos Cultist 

This particular cultist is a devotee of Slaanesh, the dark god of excess and indulgence. 

Next up should be today's Critters on Bicycles, followed by a couple more 40 Days of 40K - Kroot and Terminator. 

40 Days of 40K - Krieg

Day 18 - Death Korps of Krieg

Death Korps of Krieg Trooper

40Days of 40K - Custodes

Day 17 - Custodes

Not going to lie, I kind of prefer the old school, Rogue Trader era Adeptus Custodes.

You know, the ones that guarded the Emperor on his Golden Throne and never, EVER LEFT HOLY TERRA and stalked around the throne room in leather pants, black capes, bare chests, and conical helmets, like some weird BDSM enthusiasts with an Eldar kink…?

Does he look a little like he’s LARPing 300 (the movie)...?

40 Days of 40K - Grot

 Day 16(-ish)...?

Grot Tank Commander 

40 Days of 40K - Votann Warrior

 Day 15 - Votann Warrior

The Votann - the name for the SPACE DWARVES newly re-introduced to the universe of Warhammer 40,000 (previously called "Squats"). This drawing is based more on one of the older Squats I had back in the day, rocking a giant plasma gun that was almost as big as he was... 

40 Days of 40K - Harlequin

 Day 14 - Harlequin

Harlequin Death Jester

The Harlequins are some of the oldest Warhammer 40,000 miniatures I still have with their original paint job. Purchased and painted in the late 80s, they've been rebased a few times, but were well painted enough that I just can't strip and repaint them - as I've done with most of the other miniatures I still own from that era! 

40K - Harlequins - on Tim's Miniature Wargaming Blog

I seem to be doing these a bit faster than just ONE per day. If I managed two per day, I could be caught up by Sunday... 

40 Days of 40K - Chaos Daemon

 Day 13. 

Daemonette of Slaanesh

40 Days of 40K - Necron

 Day 12

Necron Deathmark. 

40 Days of 40K - Genestealer Cultist

 Day 11

Genestealer Cultist.
