Captain Wes Cogdal, owner/artist Stiff Neck Studio, has completed Contemptor Dreadnought. It is making a long trip from Okinawa, Japan, to Virginia to be here in time for the NOVA Open Charitable Foundation Silent Auction – which will take place during the NOVA Open Tabletop Wargaming Convention in Washington, D.C., from August 28-31, 2014.
This Ultramarine army (Blood & Honor: The Defense of Macragge) update is from artist John Stiening. This is a follow up on the Repainting of a Dave Taylor Masterpiece: Dave had the idea to update this quintessential piece from his Ultramarines force, blending both of our current styles. In this combined effort, John’s task was color modulation, grime streaking, and dust. The goal is to update the model to the blue recipe used in the NOVACF force, and then hand the model off to Dave to work his detail magic.

This Tyranid army (Scythes of Behemoth) updates are from artist Sean Fulton. He gets us up close and personal with a Venomthrope tentacle! Sean adds, “Been a busy week with FPM [Figure Painter Magazine], but I managed to get an article out on the venomthrope for this issue’s release. I have been able to put together the bulk of the scheme for the limbs which will be part of another article promoting NOCF via the venomthrope paint job. I still need to do the final layer or two of highlighting (particularly on the arm/hand itself), but I am quite close to finishing up this limb. As always, I am open to suggestions/critiques!

This Ultramarine army (Blood & Honor: The Defense of Macragge) update is from artist Dave Taylor:
ANNOUNCING A BLOOD & HONOR SURPRISE!
The first two years Dave Taylor worked on charity army projects, he added something unexpected to each army towards the end – waiting to surprise the community with a Taylor Special. For the NOCF Battle of Macragge Project this year, it’s no different. Are you ready for this? In Dave’s own words:
“Many years ago, I built a Land Raider for my Ultramarines, and mounted a Tyranid Carnifex carcass on top, kind of like a trophy from the Tyranid Invasion – the very same invasion we are “replicating” with our two Macragge armies this year. I’ve spoken with John Stiening (fellow Blood & Honor artist), and he is willing to help me update the paint job on the Land Raider to match his brilliant style of painting – after which I’ll finish off the little details on it. This tank was part of the Ultramarine army that inspired John to build and paint his own Ultramarine army, which became the paint scheme template for this charity army we are working on. Being able to donate this Land Raider, painted by John and I, will be a nice little “full-circle” narrative, too.”
Dave actually asked if the NOCF would mind. Anyone? We said “Absolutely” and cannot wait to show off the transformation when John and Dave are finished. Thanks to both of these amazing artists for this bonus piece!

This massive bundle could easily make multiple different Armies, and at rough glance depending on which book you use to field, is easily over 3000 points of options. Boxes off the shelf would easily run over $500, and that is without the 2 months of dedication artist Steve McCuen (CGR Painters West) put into its creation. Need not be present to win this Late War army.

This Ultramarine army (Blood & Honor: The Defense of Macragge) update is from artist Neil Szabo. Neil had shared some of his thoughts with us:
“I started the process with John’s awesome Ultramarine’s Blue armour and air brushed that on. Then I began to fill in details like faces and eyes first. I like to start with the faces firs as that is where a person’s attention is naturally drawn to on a model anyway. Next I moved on the doing the leather gold and metal. The gold and leather turned out quite well and I’m rather pleased with how simple they were too. The remainder of the details like lenses, ropes and insignia were done next. In the future I’ll be working on the fatigues and cloaks, but first I want to paint up the lovely bases from Mr Justin so that I can decide what color tones to use on the scouts cloaks 
The last step will be to revisit the armour for final highlights and weathering.”
