Righto Kitchy I need to know the bits for that model NOW! looks totally awesome, great pose and very nasty feel to him! the SoH helmet works really well too! job bloody well done captain foist!

Lmao! Cheers pal

Bits are as follows

Emperors children palatine blade torso and kakophoni shoulder pad (on his right side)
Thousand suns shoulder pad (narthecium side)
The narthecium is from legion apothecary set
The lightning claw is from the vanguard vets set
And the helmet is, as you say, a sons of horus mk4 variant.
No prizes for guessing where the back pack came from!

I've been working on his paint scheme over the weekend; green armour (I've used Stracken green, though not sure of it yet) and eshin grey wings. The trim will be gold. It's always gotta be gold

And a little back story...

This allies force will consist of dante, the sanguinary priest and a squad of sanguinary guard. Possibly a dreadnought too. And a definite storm raven.

Long n short of it is that the chapter master of the "Jaded Angels" got bored, and decided he was off hunting with his elite warriors. They stumbled across my Sons of Orar force, embattled against a well equipped Tau force.

Chapter Master Balthazar Vladkali and his elite sanguinary hunting party descended on wings of ruby fire and did SMITE the vile Tau xenos scum, breaking the back of the STATIONARY COWARDS, forcing them to fight on 2 fronts: 1 of methodical close range fire fights, the other of short, bloody melee!

Got a little carried away towards the... beginning... there though you don't mind indulging me do you nerdy

Oh heavens no Captain Foist! I shall be more than happy to indulge your poetic musings on any given day! ;-)

So, you got any paint on him yet? I'm interested to see how this comes together! those parts are perfect for kitbashing and now I feel i must go and smooze the Nerdwench to squeeze some extra spondoolie from her to enable me to purchase some FW goodies..... just for cutting up!

Not much, a single coat of straken and the wings have been shaded, here's a quick pic

Oh, btw, I got the bits through ebay, I think the seller was eggheadminiatures. Not cheap at about £30 though a massive saving compared to buying all the kits!

That is one NASTY gut punch bro! :-O

Lol, I always thought of him as looking at the next kill, saying "you're fething next, scum"

In true kitch fashion I've started another model instead of finishing what's been part done for months on end

A gift for Papa Kitch as his cron dynasties slightly lacking in the hq dept atm... please excuse the camera flash, and yeah I've tidied him up a little since this pic was taken

Ladies, gentlemen and everyone in between, I give you - my first ever properly completed model!

There's a couple of bits I wish I could have done better; more effective lightning on the blade, make the orb stand out more, make the eyes stand out more, though for now I'm pretty chuffed with myself

Swirly balls of death! good to see you get brush on agin Kitchy!

Ha - cheers love Must admit this guy was fun to paint in his simplicity

I treated myself to a few ebay purchases the other day, and am slightly obsessed with this model already...!

He's going to be the Grand Chaplain to my Jade Angels. Where's his crozius you say? Good question. The Chapter has rebelled against the imperium, though a few remain loyal, such as this guy. During their flee from rebellion, the Grand Chaplain was attacked by other members of his order. In the ensuing melee his crozius was broken, the shards remain on the lone Storm Raven that they used to escape.

Future models for these guys include a counts as Dante, Techmarine, Honour or Sanguinary Guard and a Dreadnought, possibly a librarian variant. They'll be allied to my Sons of Orar and whilst they may not be points efficient, I'll fething enjoy myself along the way

Edit - add picture

(I seriously wish these pics would upload the right way round, sorry about that).

Ps, he'll have a sanguinary guard jet pack as per the apothecary.

I dont know why, but his helmet is looing real swell!

Cheers, it's one of the Death Guard helmets from FW - I've started painting him and the apothecary recently and will hopefully post pictures on Monday

Pictures as promised - please excuse the poor quality, pretty crappy lighting

Very nice looking paint job the candels are great and the claws are looking evil can't wait to see it in action disembowelling I tyranid prime

It'll happen soon pal, though feeling the need to dust off my de first

Need to get the new rule book first mind, especially if it helps my de to be more effective as I'm hoping!

I will not excuse your poor lighting! but I will express my joy that you're back painting and getting excited about 7th :-) looking good, I also think you've done a really good job on those candles on the pack! I think the mini's may need a little ink wash or two though? but that could just be the flash?

You're absolutely right pal, I don't think I'd washed them in those pictures

Just on with some immortals for my dad and will get right back to these guys asap.

Hints on the apothecaries armour are more than welcome!

Hints on apoth armour eh! make a wash from a light grey or blue and was the armour with it then use white to mix into the wash until you use pure white to either egde highlight or smooth the entire panel colour out, just my 2c's :-)

Legend, I was gonna black line it though don't have a steady enough hand

Updated apothecary

I went with black lining in the end as I just couldn't face painting any more white!

Just waiting for the agrellan earth to dry before finishing the base off, head has yet to be glued on and maybe a little more tidying up. Tried blending the lightning claw as I did on my libby and failed so not sure what to do there. Shading required on the eagle and cables too, with some smaller details still to do

Got to hand it to you kitch looks great the eagle details are killer but a fancy paint job won't save you from my broodlord

Coming along noice! I reckon one shade lighter as a highlight on the robes then a wash in green and they'll be stellar! wash that gold in agrax then re apply gold to the edges then a little silver mixed in and you'll be amazed :-)

Cheers lads :0

I'll give that a shot tonight if I can Nerdy, pics to follow

Cool, I await your progress Sir Kitchington from Kitchington Manor! push yourself dude! you know what would be great fun? a Skype Paint date!!

Sorry for the delayed reply mate - busy evenings! Skype paint date sounds like a great idea, I just need to find that damned webcam now lol!

Made some progress on the apothecary and started planning my Chapter Master as a reward. Coz, you know, I don't have enough outstanding

An update on my apothecary to test my new camera
