Hello people! Today's post will not be too long as holidays are kicking in and I am going away tomorrow.
However, this will actually be my first post that involves something painted while i have been writing for the space wolves blog. Without too much delay, i'll get right down to the good bits. The pictures, silly!

| Front Right Angle. Badass Mace! |
The Saga of Ormyr Ishjarte started on a cold winters day here in norway, I was going to band practice(yeah, i used to play in a band, but not anymore). I found myself waiting for the other guys for once, so i decided to go by a café for a cup of coffee since my hands were getting all cold, and musicians can't have cold hands.

| Rear Right Angle. I really like how he sits down on his knee as if tracking something. |
I started thinking about my other hobbies while waiting, and naturally WH40K was the one that was coming 2nd place after music, so this is what i came up with while browsing my bitz box in my mind.

| Rear Left Angle. I think this is where the rust and chipping was the best. |
The funny thing was that i was gonna take my time with this guy, but there never really seemed to come a time where i could sit down and just paint to my best standards, so instead i wanted to try out some new effects on this guy for a future project i want to do. That was to transfer my vehicle chipping and rust effects style to a regular marine. Previously i've only done it on the rhino/vindicator chassis.

| Front Left Angle. I like how the six sided mace turned out, although it is a bit overkill. But overkill is underrated! |
Now, as a last few words, this project ended up being a speedpainting competition with myself. How fast could i do a model with a decent standard that i would be pleased with showing other friends and fellow gamers. This was the result, and to be honest, i am quite pleased with it.
The whole process took me 2 1/2 hours to finish.
So what do you guys think? Is it a cool model? Does it Suck? Anything you guys think i should have done differently? Keep 'em coming, cuz feedback and your opinions is what motivates me to write more :)
