Khorne Bloodreaver

Finished painting a Khorne Bloodreaver last week and I have another in progress. World Eaters space marines were among the first 40k models I ever painted. Always fun painting red.

Here are some magnetic paint handles I recently made. Rather than just glue a magnet to a cork, I designed a holder in Fusion 360. The idea is that this larger, flat surface offers a more stable attachment with the base than a bare magnet atop a cork. The magnet is only 0.5mm below the surface of the holder, creating a strong connection.

The square base shown in the photo is what I call a “reference base.” I use it to orient the polarity of the holder’s magnet. I simply place it below the resin part while I glue the magnet in place. Every magnet I’ve used in the hobby has been oriented using that same square base, guaranteeing that I’ve always used the same polarity.

I used a 10x2mm magnet in the holder. I often use a 8x2mm magnet in my bases.

Still painting my Seraphon Stegadon. I finished the Skystreak Bow and one of the two platforms. Most of the colors are fairly neutral with details in gold, red, and turquoise. There are a few spots that deserve a little touch-up, but I think I'll just move forward. I have one more platform to go and then I can move on to the dinos.
