The new front plates look great on the repressors and the Ex. On the sentinels, they looked good with the checkers, but they look even better with just simple squad markings. So can we look forward to seeing them in action anytime soon? Do you guys have anymore battle reports on the way? Keep up the good work.

oo i really love the look of these, and i love how the decals arnt bright they seem like they are worn on

I'm glad the miliput worked well for you for the front plates for your rhinos. I often use it for cloaks and more often to sculpt with but that said I'm very old school

how is the consistancy of muliput?

When first mixed it's about as pliable as green stuff but hardens faster not to mention some of the bonuses is its cheaper and water slide too so you can sculpt smooth gentle curves faster but will keep a harder edge than green stuff.

really nice!

nice wok on that 2nd repressor mate.

Thanks - Panic's been away in Swedenland for a while, and now it's Xmas, so I doubt we'll see much until the new year. Besides, I'm in a weird position where I've dismantles all the vehicles for repainting and only reassembled the completed ones. I might need to get a few more put together before I can field a decent force again!

BACK AGAIN!

Ok, so after a little diversion by my Slaanesh Chaos Marines, I'm back onto the Arbites and doing a bit of converting. Now that everyone has had a few months to digest the new Sisters rules, it seems that some pretty decent builds have emerged, and I've been thinking of how to best use the Arbites as SoB. I have a prospective army list at - http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/434407.page

So, this part of the project will be to get the SoB list ready for action, so I've been busy painting up all the boltgun models I own. I've also put a 'to do' list on the first post which I can update.

First, some extra Proctors converted to have boltguns. I'm going to need a fair few of these, so I have some works-in-progress as well. Should give me enough to command five squads...




And then the rest of my boltgun Arbites - this gives me 18 Bolter guys - enough for the two Battle Sisters squads and the two Dominion squads.



I've also started on the characters. I need a counts-as Kyrinov and a counts-as Jacobus, so I'm making two 'Judges' in the studious/robes style. This is the WIP on Kyrinov. The base model is a Redemptor Priest from Necromunda with GS robes added to mask a lot of the cut-off weapons. The headdress is from the Dark Angel kit, and the macehead from an old WHFB Chaos Warrior, with the hand/staff from Fabius Bile and a GS power cable.



Still need to smooth out a lot of this when it dries, and add some arbites-style boots....

Looks good, but isn't that DA icon totally smooth on the back? what are you going to do with that?

"I AM THE LAW!"

Nice looking It is hard to get some variety in the proctor models. For a good bolter armed proctor try the Telon scout guy from SM. I have used a few in my army.

Like this guy, he is the squad leader for my retributors.

Must be a different Icon you're thinking of - this one is detailed on the back. I'm hoping to finish off the GS on him this evening...

Ah yes I was thinking of a different one. There's a tank icon that's pretty similar, carry on then!

Carry on I certainly have! And here's the update this evening.

Kyrinov is now finished - I did a bit more work on the headdress, building up the wreaths and adding a skull to the centre, and then gave him a big ol' medallion, which is going to be his Rosarius. I carved a stylised imperial 'I' into it. He's now finished and ready for painting.



I can't really spraypaint this late at night though, so in the meantime, I assembled the last two Heavy 'Bolter' troops for the Retributor Squad and pulled four semi-painted bodies for the Meltaguns, which should arrive tomorrow.



I also started on the next Judge, the count-as Jacobus. He's made from the other Redemptor Priest - the running one - and I've removed his hand flamer and put in a Combat Shotgun. I've also assembled an 'icon' out of bits of the Flagellant frame.

AMAZING! your LOD is intense and I am in awe. Keep up the amazing work. Im really excited to see how this army ends up.

the sculpted face is very nice, looks just like the normal ones which is great!

Thanks guys. Got a few more things finished this morning. The Judge/Priest/Kyrinov conversion is done. He'll be Kyrinov in a Sob army, and probably a Priest in an IG/GK one..



And then the four meltagun models were completed and repainted - giving me two complete Dominion squads.

Nice looking Dominions. Are you still going with the list you posted in the other thread? If so what are you using for Immolators?

Mr. S Baldrick wrote:Nice looking Dominions. Are you still going with the list you posted in the other thread? If so what are you using for Immolators?

Thanks! I'm building that list for now, though I eventually intend to have lots more options. The Immolators are the FW Immolator kit (slightly less 'priestly') with the SoB gunners replaced with Arbites. I have the models but haven't started on them yet!!

Great conversion (I especially like the WIP shots!), but I think the paint could use a bit more love. He is quite...white at the moment

Keep up the good work!

Yeah, I'm not too sure about him either. The white becomes kind of overpowering. Here's the deal.

- I want him in a bright colour, which ties into the rest of the army. Something ideally I have used on the rest of the army.
- I don't want him dark blue, as it's the main colour for everything else.
- My 'detectives' will have black coats, so not black ideally.
- I use tan and brown in the army, but those are mostly functional colours - leather, trechcoats etc.

- He has to look impressive, like a 'Judge' for this army, but then able to be a regular priest in a different army.
- I kinda had the idea of giving my Inquisitor 'Judges' red overcoats, and in that configuration these guys will be Priests, so they can't be red too.

What do people reckon? :/

Cool stuff here , nice use of icons on the helms.

The white robes could be broken up with red tassels , like on the earlier pic maybe ?

In my home state the Judges of our high court wear red robes, where the rest of the court has black. So it does happen sometimes that higher judges look a little different from the rest.

Thanks guys - I had a bit of a rethink, and as suggested I'm trying out a deeper red, paired with the white tassles. There are two more tassles now compared to the original model, because I had to hide various Redemtion bits...

When I do the more 'military commander' Judges for the IG/GK versions of the armies, maybe THEY could be the ones with white overcoats, since they'll have more black/blue armour to balance it out...

This has just been washed - will get the highlights done later tonight and post pics in the morning - I wonder if I'm going to have to darken the helmet red to bring it into line...

Cool work on these. They're really cool.

yep much better ;-)

That looks much cooler. Are you going to post some pics of the Immolators?

Mr. S Baldrick wrote:That looks much cooler. Are you going to post some pics of the Immolators?

I haven't done the Immolators yet! But when I do, I will post pics...

Here's the new robes on the Judge. I darkened the helmet just slightly to bring it together....

The red on that judge is really beautiful, love it! Any chance of sharing what colour you mixed in to get that baroque style highlight?

This blog gets better and better =] looking forwards to more.
