@Gits - If only I was that good at sculpting I would have put a beard on right now. Sadly its tennis shoes, a big chain blade and mummy wrappings over the head

@LDP - This was exactly what I was expecting you never fail to disappoint my man!

Update: metals all finished up not long to go now

**evildrcheese**

Wicked stuff as ever. The rifles on the acolytes looks awesome with the writing.

That ape model is great, where's it from?

EDC

**Knightley**

Good question bud, I got the model from Graven when I brought some models from him, so I'll leave it up to him to answer that one

Update: next three done

Counts as preist

Counts as Jokaero

Counts as Assassin

**Gitsplitta**

Love the piercing blue eyes on Dr. Zeus & the job overall on the assassin. Very nice fig. The Sister Repentia (?) is just too wierd. No negative comment on your painting Knightley, it's just bizarre.

**ZergSmasher**

Nice looking figs! I think in this latest batch I like Zaius the best! All these guys would mean even more to me if I knew anything about the Inquisition codex. Beautiful models, though!

**Spacewolverine**

Love the way Jokaero count as came out. The Repentia came out so good! I think the Assassin looks like a Japanese anime character, he came out very good, just not my cup of tea for the model.

**Mad..**

Nice work Knightley, some interesting models and paint jobs bring them all to life nicely.

**inmygravenimage**

Great use of the rebreather on the back of the Not-Librarian jokaero. Not sure where I got it from, tbh :(

**Knightley**

@Gits - Thanks dude, I guess every henchmen squad needs that one model where you go.. hmmm... not quite sure

@ZG - True, I get the same feeling when I look at Dark Eldar or even some Ork models, If I knew more It would mean so much more

@SW - Cheers, It's good to get feedback such as this

@Mad - Thank you!

@Graven - Gah, here I was hoping you could remember, was it from an old D&D style game?

Update: Last of the Coteaz warband under way!

**lipsdapips**

Great work on the latest batch! Those skin tones look to have come out really well, must look absolutely stellar in person!

**Knightley**

They do look pretty cool, need to get you over for a game before xmas, dates are tough at the moment, heaps on the weekends.

Update: washes white and blacks all done

**Knightley**

Update: Reds and flames done!

**Spacewolverine**

Love the way the flames turned out Knightley, look very real!

**KernelTerror**

Very nicely done, although you might want to tell your veteran to not stand so close to the flamer servant. That dude is a gigantic fire hazard !
Really loving the servant's cloth too !

**ZergSmasher**

Is that flaming guy a conversion, or is that how the sculpt looks? Either way he's pretty cool (or hot...

).

**lipsdapips**

Sounds good. I could be keen for a couple smallish games (1000-1500?) with fully painted forces on a fully painted table if you're able?

I've been meaning to try my hands at a batrep for a good while now.
Great work on the models by the way. Those flames look rich and sinister and the reds are good as ever.

**evildrcheese**

Excellent work on the Priest, Jokaero and assassin.

Good progress on the next batch too. What role is the flamer dude filling on the tabletop?

EDC

**Knightley**

@SW - Thanks, just three colours and some mixing was all that was required

@KT - Cheers, I've been trying a new method of painting black, up close it looks terrible, but at arms length its not bad

@ZG - He's a metal model from around 2005 if I recall correctly, I got him from a mate who had a large box of guys just sitting there doing nothing.

@LDP - Right'o I'll send you a text when I remember

if I forget just send me a poke

@EDC - Thank you! the flamer dude is a flamer acolyte I think, but I could use him as a priest in a pinch.

Update: Models done

Acolyte with chainsword + Plasma pistol

Flamer Acolyte

Coteaz group shot

**KernelTerror**

Brilliant ! One done, two to got then !

**Bash the Bosh**

Great work Knightley. The white on the veterans is fantastic. A nice contrast to the black. Lots of thin layers, or good quality paint?

**Mad..**

That is a cool warband!

Impressive

**evildrcheese**

Really cool warband. Great work Knightly!

EDC

**inmygravenimage**

Stunning work mate, a coherent and brilliant whole.

**Knightley**

@KT - Yep, technically I've completed two full squads and two left to go

@Bash - Combination of both, I used the airbrush to put down white onto the armour to make it smooth and uniform, I then put washes in the recesses and tidied it up with white on a brush. It's a change from how I used to do it when I would cover the entire model in wash then paint 4-5 coats of white back over the top.

@Mad - Thanks dude, I put the two squad next to each other and they look amazing

@EDC - Cheers man!

@Graven - I couldn't have done it without you buddy, some of these models have come from you and it gave me the inspiration to flesh them out as a whole.

Update: On to the next retinue for Valeria first group started

**Spacewolverine**

They did come out quite nice Knightley, look very good together.

That next batch looks promising! Excited to see them done. Really like the use of the fire warrior. I can only imagine you, Raid the Bitz bin!!!!

**Cleatus**

Love the Flamer Acolyte.

**Knightley**

@SW - Haha yes, I did this as a middle finger to my mate who started a tau army. No one is free from the Inquisition

@Cleatus - Thanks!

Update: Blacks and reds done

**Mad..**

A tau fire warrior? Did it bring some marker lights

Looking good thus far.

**Knightley**

Cheers dude, yeah he's brought all the toys with him

for the greater good an' all

Update: almost done

**evildrcheese**

Looking good Knightly.
