Paint and Runes

Here are some pictures of my work thus far. I tried to get good shots of a few models with rune work.


Here is a Rhino. Its still sporting the Dwarf Bronze Aquila from my old scheme. The scroll on the front is written in Angerthas Moria. The letters represent the name "Durin" who was one of the Seven Fathers of the Dwarves. This is where it gets really nerdy as I plan to name all my vehicles for Tolkien characters.

Here is another example of some of my rune work. This is a Black Reach Terminator. He correctly displays my current paint scheme of Regal Blue, Ultramarines Blue, and Boltgun Metal, though, he is still incomplete. The rune letters here represent the word "ruin".  The inspiration for this comes from the book The Return of the King when the great battering ram Grond is being described it is said that "on it spells of ruin lay".  Rune spells on weapons will be a reoccurring theme with my army.



Here is a shot of a Scout Sergeant. I just wanted to show off the urban camo styled cloak. From this cloak I decided that I'm going to do the pants and sleeves on my scout models in the same pattern. I haven't done so yet, so I have no idea if I will like the way it looks, but I will post pictures regardless.









This is just a brief look at the paint scheme and rune work. I will post more as I continue to paint and actually finish off some models. I'd love to hear your comments and critiques.

Thanks,
