Yes DKoK towed guns from Forgeworld.
Beautiful models some of my favorite,these things are sharp.
I am saving all the shells I have along with the crates and try to make some sort of a ammo cart,maybe an excuse for a Trojan

Awesome Blog! The tanks look great, but the Valks truly blew me away. Ace work on the camo and weathering (I'll definitely be looking to steal some ideas from here!).. The whole story playing out with the Valk disgorging it's passengers is beautifully set out.

Laney

Here is the work I did on the cannon today.
Painted,Camo'd,and filtered.
Tomarrow I will finish weathering them.

its looking great! i like the tally marks too

holy sheit E! thats like $300 of FW

$250
I got a discount and it came with no crew

OMG! but understandible, i bought a bit of gear from them, and for a very little bit it cost me 80$+

Here is how I look at it,alot of the money I used for this army,came from a whole lot of models I sold over the years.
So I paid for a good deal of this stuff a long time ago,I just recycle armies.
If GW ever makes decent Zombies that look like corpse cart offal,just wait til you see what I can do with Father Nurgle.
But look with barrel inserts I now have an Earthshaker battery too.
I weathered up quite a bit tonight,would like to do some chipping and rusting tomarrow,dust up the wheels.

That's true, and by the way they look awesome

Here are the cannon finished except for a tiny bit of metallic work and soot

Your work rate and results continue to astound! Keep up the good work.

Oh man, that is exciting, I can't wait to see them finished. I hope that you convert some proper 'Merican big, brawny and sweaty artillery crew to crew the guns and fire them all day long

After reading this I really feel like starting a painting blog for my FW Arkurian Pattern Stormblade that is ready to be painted.

they look great!

Always looking great love the army

Here is a group shot with them totally completed

The Drawer of Shooty Death

AH! That is no way for someone as good a painter as you to store their miniatures! Tisk tisk!

They are ok for now,I do not dig through.
I am waiting for more boxes to come in a work.
I get the foam you guys pay money for for free(its just pink),and I can use the larger ckt boxes to store them

I made good progress on the Command squad Medic and the new Fleet Officer

I love the medic, and the Ltd. edition thunderbolt pilot is great too

^

Here is the finished Command Churgeon and New Fleet Officer
This one fits much,much better with the theme.
And this is one of my Top 3 sculpts of All Time.

damn i just love that pilot model!

One of my top 3 Faves ever

^definatly, now i just need to see that enforcer in person to see if that goes along with it

Agreed that is another model I have to figure how to shoehorn in.

Nothing crazy for this weekend.
Bought a Deathstrike kit and I am very,very disapointed in the Big Bertha Missile.
A 1:48 V2 is too big and the kit does not leave me much to work with,might be able to extend it an inch or so,but big whoop.
Does anyone know of a good after market missile?
Anyhow I finished another squad to fill the masses

A saturn V rocket?

That is actually a damn good idea,thanks
Definitely not 1:35 though

Eisenhorn wrote:That is actually a damn good idea,thanks
Definitely not 1:35 though

No, more like 1:702

Just bid on a 1:72 V2 rocket 8-9 inches long perfect
"Thats what she said" :p

Shakes head* good for you! That sounds perfect

Worked on Special Weapon squad members.
Three Plasma,Two Melta,Two lasgunners,One Demo charge.
Along with the snipers I made earlier I can set this squad up anyway I choose.
Still need some fine tuning(highlights,plasma) but mostly done

Looks great, cant wait for highlights

Ok been quiet a few days,but I've been buzy
I finished a bunch of special weapons and another squads worth of troops

I like the purple for the plasma guns. The poses are also fun. Why didn't you go with the normal loyalist blue for plasma weaponry?

They are sweet, Is this another army for sale?

No time soon at all this will be my goto IG force until something totally new comes out say like Ad-Mech.
I do at some point soon plan to make a Cadian,Vallhallan,and Steel Legion tanks for sale just for the heck of it.

I went with purple because I find it matches the green better.
Might end up doing Pact and WE in a few months again when ADB's WE book comes out.

Ooh! Great. I can't wait for more pact. Yours were stunning! It inspired the ones that I currently have a blog on- if you wanted to check it out

Your renegades are cool too,make sure you make your World Eater Straken
Here is the next project in early stages the basic build finished,later I will superdetail them a bit with stowage maybe a first aid kit,maybe some camo netting for the roll cage.
I am rolling the possibilites in my head ATM


Let's see if anyone notices what I did looking at this pic,it's fixed now

I don't think I've ever noticed that there are one wheel and two wheel versions of the Tauros. They are such cool models!

Did you goof on the installation of one HK missle launchers?

Yup
Thank God for the #17 flat blade,was able to shear it off like detail and reattach properly
Wanted to show you guys the Army in Progress shots





I also have the "Jeeps" ready for the winter camo.
Happily there is only room for one decal.

Oh wow! That army sure is growing, I like how your calling them jeeps!

i just love those jeeps!

Ok I have the smaller Jeep well underway.
I made one big mistake,when building these you want to make the base first so you can use the loose tire to make tracks in the dirt/snow
anyone have a spare tire ?

I wish

Here is what I was able to finish tonight.
Just about finished,just a few small details to pick out.
The camo netting works really well for this model when used sparingly

I like how the grenades look like 12ga. shells, it gives the model some extra character

I am in love with this thread, all these beautiful models, and your painting style. You are too awesome. I would LOVE for my army to look like yours does.

Outstanding work.

Got the second one under way

Man, your army is a gem! Your stuff gets better and better,

That's a great looking base for that Valkyrie, though I cringe and how unsafe that dispersion pattern is. I'd have gak a brick if somebody told me to stay underneath a helo when we disembarked, lol.

Think of it as a snapshot in time,the Valk is there for all of 5 seconds.
Kind of dragging the ramp along the ground,the pilot is that good

Wow, amazing work on the 'Jeeps'! looks fantastic!

Here is the second just about finished

amazing! the wear is perfect, and i love the netting

I have the last one done.
Here is a shot of the three of them together.
The last thing I need to do is add weathering powder to the tires.

PLease find these people and take some photos of your army on this board: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/443805.page

That blog + this blog = win!!

That board is great,terrain is a skill I just have no room to master.
I can't make a building like that guy,but I am still very proud of my Bastion.
The people at FW say they are working on new Realm of Battle inserts,perhaps a trench one(which I want badly)
I have a crazy idea for when they do.
Sit the RoB board ontop of a 6x4 Zone mortaliz set,perhaps make some brackets or something.
That way you have a battlefield with an underground complex.
But have it where I can use the Mortalis set by itself too if I wanted to do Spack Hulk.

I made great progress on the tank treads Got 4 completed and also have the nuke tanks ready too.
I used the camo netting I got to add some pizzaz to the standard Leman Russes.

Started work on the platoon Banner bearer
Used Archer transfer for the flag and FW transfer for the Aquilla

Oh wow thats really bright! I like how its going to "pop"

wow, lol thats EXACTLY how i was going to do my flag (USA flag with aquilla in the blue) well.... at least mine are not the same colored as you

Here is the nearly finished banner bearer

Got my Nuke today(1:72 V2 rocket) and promptly built and attached.
I would like to scratchbuld some sort of support arm to hold the rocket on.

That's fething sexy. What's the rocket from?

1:72 scale German V2 rocket

What has happened to the bottom of it...?

Whadda ya mean Monkey?
The flight stand?You want it?

No, the base of the rocket, it looks like it has been chewed up in some way...

Nah that is just how it is?
Just needs a little paint.

You could scratch some of these?
http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200344937_200344937

In my dreams,they do have that aftermarket though.
I went the simple rout and scratched an arm racket halfway up as seen here

I like the radiation thingie, it gives the tank a spot of bright


Here: http://www.amazon.com/Photo-Etch-Seatbelts-USAF-EDU73004/dp/B001BCC734

So great looking keep it up !

Great find remember things like that for a tank you want 1:48 scale,sometimes 1:35
Only the missile for this tank is 1:72 and I found out the hard way
Bought the 1:48 first good thing these kits are $15-20

here's some in 1/48 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lionroar-PE-1-48-RAF-Seat-Belts-004-/350489285339?_trksid=p4340.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DSIC.NPJS%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUA%26otn%3D5%26pmod%3D350150400831%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D8256555392346590767

That is an awesome find,will buy some for sure.
But I found the exact thing
http://www.accurate-armour.com/ShowProduct.cfm?manufacturer=0&category=4&subcategory=279&product=2226
And I was not happy with everything being one color,this is not a Catachan army these are Mericans
So I repainted the missile,a big improvement.
Time to weather it.

^ this missile job is much better than the last, quite the MOAB you have sir

And weathered

where did you get that little skull decal from the side of the missile?

That is quite the missile you got there! And I really love all of your Merica stuff in general.

Dust Tactics axis/allies decal sheet

ahh, well it works really well with the piece

"justus extremis" indeed!
"Tactical" Nuke inbound, everybody is fething dead....

Epic thread so far, consider me subbed! Personally I never bother with weathering (reason one is that it's difficult, so kudos to you for mastering it, and secondly I play Tau... And in my mind they are neatfreaks! )

Yeah the Tau would be crazy enough to dedicate a force field to repel dust

I like the new rocket a bit better, good choice~

Soldier: "Shas'O, we have a light coating of dust on the hammerhead!"
Commander: "NOOOES, and the Ethereal will be here in few minutes! Cadre, retreat, we cannot let our leader see our shame!!!"
Soldiers: "Quick, find the buckets and polish!!"

I had a FW techie that I cut in half ages ago to use as a tank commander.
I long since sold the tank he drove but I kept the driver knowing someday I would use him again.
The new Necron Lord gave me the perfect bit to make the Magos mobile once more.
Added tons of bits to him,this is one buzy model.

A very cool idea! Even better considering you managed to salvage a model you cut in half

I have finished Justus Extremis with a touch of camo net.



Finished the Banner Bearer


And have an Engineseer well under way



And started basecoating the Magos

^that is AWSOME!!! the magos is sooo cool!

More progress on the Mechanicus.
Found a small one that went with the skullz archmagos.
I want to do a Runtbot kind of thing with him.
I want to base him on a 60mm with an Imperial Robot.
But I have no robot,yet

Magos Parker is coming along even better than I hoped,as I am not the best sculptor.
But the robes I think are ok

The robes are great, they look perfectly frayed and tattered around the edge and they sit really well on him, it looks like the legs are moving beneath them, top notch sculpt.

A little diversion to keep the batteries fresh
After reading Emperor's Gift I felt compeled to whip up a Grey Knight Termie.
I used Alclad Chrome to give it a Holy Shine you cannot get with a brush.
Great care is needed to paint the details,you cannot fix a screwup on the chrome.

So much of this thread is just top notch.

The chrome on the Grey Knight is perfect (I might look into that), but the enginseer and magos are the winners for me.

I'll definitely pop in and see how things are going more regularly.

Laney

Epic! I think you should make a detatchment!

I have enough for an small basic army
Sprue of termies,Srupe of PA,and Inquisition out the wazooo
I just might.

Niiiiiiiiice. I have some GKs I could send your way.

PM me we can talk
I decided to at least do 5 of them.
Techmarine and Librarian those who read Emperors gift will know who they are

those greykights looks great! i really like the brown on the books!

The Librarian is just about done,just a couple odds and ends.
The Techmarine is well underway and I have prepped the armor on the Sword Champion and Nemisis Knight

I think you've convinced me to get some alclad. Those look great.

Some more shots of the Techmarine and Sword Champion a little further on





Automatically Appended Next Post:
The Librarian is just about finished.Sword Champion getting there
Now I have to think about basing them

Well I have three finished and based

Librarian with Lyrics to Iron Madien




Nemisis Knight One





Techmarine

Beautiful, I think the libby's eyes need more black though

I'll look into it
I have the next few finished,yep boys and girls making this a bare minimum army,maybe more if I go Inquisitor for HQ.
I have been wanting to do inquisition for a long time.
Bought I bought 5 more Termies and Capt Stern




And Brother Capt Stern

Wow! I am loving the GKs! Is the eagle on stern's shoulder shield thing a transfer?

Nice work! Where can you get this Alclad ?

Not a transfer,an hours worth of freehand,thanks for the complement.

You can get Alclad2 online and at hobby shops the kind that have ww2 models,trains.
I highly recommend hitting your local hobby shop it is where you find really cool stuff to use for wh40k

If you noticed the title has changed,Not really much left to do for the Lancers,I have tons of Elyisans left over.
Maybe I can parlay them into something else,do more Serpartists,trade em for Krieg or Steel Legion maybe.
I am burnt out on the Guard right now,though I do have a few more tanks left in me,
Might be a good time to whip up a Cadian winter one for all the Hostile Environment players and plop it on E-bay.
But as you can see I have been painting Grey Knights ever since I read Empror's Gift.
And like usual an tiny 5 man Termie project blew up into a Full-On Army.
Since the Knights field Inquisitor's and I have always,always wanted to do them.
Now this will be a Termie Armie,might whip up PA Interceptors to capture objectives(Are they good for that?)
I bought my 3rd box of Termies today going for two 10 man Termie Squads
Next week I pick up the StormRaven to shuttle the boys around the board,already have the Dred to go with it.
I decided to Pick up a Termie Librarian and convert him into a Knight with the old one becoming a Justicar/Knight with Warding Stave
This was a subtle conversion that I did by adding a GK Stormbolter and changing the books into Chapter Badges by add sword pieces carefully

I was in love with the very first tank, and then to see you take it to the next level with every step of the way and then ending on CHROME grey knights?! You're a madman sir! I am very interested in the weathering though. Is it a hard process with a lot of thought or a bit of taking a sponge and slashing it about randomly til you're happy and repeating with the rust effects too?

I'm not much of a reader but is there a post in here that details how you get the weathering that way or even every tool/paint/etc used? I'd love to try it some day.

Again, amazing work.

Great Freehand! And I love the new title

I would buy some Elysians from you if you're up for selling them in about a month or so. I need to get moved in to my summer internship and get my first paycheck, but I'd buy a squad or two and possibly one of the vehicles you have left over.

Send me a PM and we can talk.

I finished up the Librarian before work today





edit Looking at it know I am not too thrilled with the shield will probally swap out for the fancy detailed one,I do not like how it has no gold trim

Looks great will, especially the base!~

Thanks,the new gold drybrush paint drybrushed over black
makes for a great starting point for dirty bronze.
Streak on watered down Vallejo verdi-gris glaze and Chardon granite and it is good to go.
Looks very good for CoD tiles as you can see
I finished my Lord Draigo today and have the dred finished enough to show off

that =][= dreadnaught is really cool!

Ok looking at the last picks of Draigo his banner was a bit dull,I added a bit Nuln Oil to make it pop.
Nuln Oil is a funny word sounds like what Sisters of Battle use not to squeak.
I also finished the Foxy Boxy dread and lastly the Librarians new Heraldry much more classy

Its crazy that all of a sudden, when you add that last little thing your models go "BAM"

Ain't that the truth
Here is Inquisitor Lok painted to match my army

Here is Lok's Servo Skull and Cortez with the Gold complete

Little more progress on Cotex

I finished up Cortez today I also ordered a cool cheapo airbrush set for $75

where did you get that airbrush set from?

This store on E-bay,Funhobby

Here are my models for the book Characters from Left to Right
Justicar Gallo,Malchadiel,Dumenidon,Hyperion




I did Sothis later but switched it up by moving the auspex
Sothis now has the swords since he was described as being tutored by Dumenidon
And Malchadiel has the Psycannon for gaming purposes ( I feel better fits his tech nature to have him wield a relic like a psycannon)

awesome!

Last night it was bothering me that Malchadiel has a Psycannon and not twin swords.
Enter the Clones.
I used the exact same bits to make a twin falchon version of Malchadiel
John Woo Hyperion coming very soon


I masked with the smallest tamiya tape and protected the mini with Silly Putty( The worlds best flexible masking material)



Well my first go with airbrush blades had mixed sucess,just need practice is all,did'nt help the airbrush spit water on the blade right at the crucial point.
I used Praxi White drypaint to kind of pull it back togther.
I am having problems getting the reflection right on the falchon though.
Gotta few spares of those that I will practice with.

It looks great, but Im sure it takes practice

Second batch of blades came out much better,getting the hang on it.
Even for the Falchion too.
I used an old Metal Kngiht I had to be Brotherhood Champion.
The metal ones had cooler bolters /w belt feeds.

I have the alternates for Hyperion and Malchadiel


I also picked up Crowe

Here are the finished models

So After working on the Brotherhood Champion for like for four hours today,I finish him and I am very happy with the results.
Then this Build magically appears,Needless to say this is the new Champ

Ok so the Brotherhood Champion got a total rework from the metal body.
But I am so much more happy with this Champion,looks like what I picture Janus to look like.
I have a good handle on NMM powerblades now.
This might be a good Pre-Heresy Style for the Original 8 or super fancy Purifyers
Templar Tabards,DA hooded Helms,Knight body.
I also reworked the base,using a choice terrain bit that was waiting for the right model.

Finished the Brotherhood Champion tonight

I love the Brotherhood champion, he's very subdued on his base, but he also pops!

I must say that is one very impressive Imperial Guard army . Those tank conversion are amazing . I really like the weld lines a lot and that tool you made very smart.

Banged out the Stormraven today,just need to add a couple of transfers and some light weathering.
I added a Knight chest and pad for the pilot,the gold Aegis looks good through the cockpit.
Never happy with a stock model I scribed out the flaps and positioned them down.
Which is accurate for a aircraft on the deck or coming in low for a attack run.
I fiend for the day they make plastic Thunderbolts.




I also finished of this Termie Justicar with Thrice Blessed Daemonhammer and Psycannon






Automatically Appended Next Post:
Finished off the Stormraven,a good job I could of done better.
The transfers I wanted to use broke and I had no spares,so I had to made do with what I used.
I did not preshade the aircraft either,but that aside I still have a good looking model

Even though it looked cool as hell,I replaced the Psycannon with a standard stormbolter.
Now he is the perfect model for Grand Master Mordrak
Guess I HAVE to make me some Ghost Knights now



Automatically Appended Next Post:
Ok like I said with this weapon swap I now have my model for Grand Master Mordrak.

And the first Ghost Knight,still have to do the blade.
I like the idea of Ghost knight being like Spectral Black Knights.
I made a dark metalic mix with boltgun and black and then gave the model a wash of Nuin Oil.
I drybrushed the text first silver,then white and hit that with Waywater Green glaze.

A little tip when it comes to airbrushing the blades I have yet to see anyone add.
When masking the blade with tape,once taped spary with matt varnish.
This prevents seepage under the tape.
When you move the tape for the second side of the blade,spray again with varnish before highlighting.

I tried to skip this step today with bad results and had to redo blade on this Apothecary



I also finished two more Ghost Knights except for the blades






I also started work on the Brotherhood Banner and two more standard Halberd Knights





Automatically Appended Next Post:
Today I finished the Three Ghost Knights,I will make two more at a later date.
But there is Grand Master Mordrak and his Ghostly Bodyguard





I also finished the Terminator Apothecary

I finished the Brotherhood Banner Bearer.


Then whille on the can reading the Grey Knight codex I saw the Ghost Knights get to upgrade a guy with a banner too
This one I got to freehandmI gave it a Legion of the Damed esque feel to it.
Are they related somehow to the Damned,spurned on by the same insane devotion that follows after death?
I used the name Mortain for the banner as that was the planet the Squad died on.

I finished the last Ghost Knight this afternoon,Twin Falchons.
That brings the unit to it's legal maximum.I will make at least two more at a later date for Mordrak's special rule that lets him add more knight each time he is wounded.

WOW!!! Sweet ghost knights they are just so wow

Finished the next unit everyone's favorite Highlander Knight Justicar Thrawn






The first fatal wound

That is absolutely fantastic! Love the bloodied up helmet on the the ground! where did you get that head from?

Both came from the Termie kit

I just finished this Paladin too.
I have about 5 knights to do,should go pretty quick they are all chromed and bladed,just need to pick out details,ect.
I am putting the Paladins on bases with Vertical elements,like the HQ's
The standard Knights will have flat bases.
Just ordered the parts for a most excellent Dreadknight Relic Coontemptor
Stay Tuned






2nd Paladin(4th if you count the first two from the very beginning)


[IMG]http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc52/Esinhorn/013-17.jpg[/IMG

Got one final one done before midnight,that's three today,not too shabby

Wow! You sure are rocking it!

Then finished him by 4am,time for bed me thinks

im looking for silly putty but i cant find it. will regular blue tack or postertack work??

on your airbrush, its a good little setup to start with, but if you want a consistent pressure you really want a compressor with a tank

Might be a US only thing.
It is a small kids toy,try a toy store or me I found it in the dollar store in the cheap toy. Section,seen them at the phamacy too.
Just look where the small store keep cheap ass kids toys.

I know what you mean about the setup,one day soon.

I redid a bunch of blades from the first batch,that were just steel.
I made a tute out of one,that I will post in a few days.
In the meantime I saw a cool army that is using both Knights and Deathwatch.
That gave me the idea to add one as part of an Inquisitors retinue.
Since I am only doing one why not Brother Capatian Artemis,that spins off onto a second idea.
Bringing as many 54mm Inquisitor models into 28mm scale,I have Hector Rex already on the way and he is a dead ringer for Witchhunter Tyrus which is how I am going to paint him as.
Brother Captain Artemis




I also made a Deathwatch Iron Snake,just cause
Not sure about him as is,even though wrist Stormbolter makes every sense for DW
I think it makes him look too Grey Knightish wih the spear.

Here is the first of my Inquisitor 40k downsizes.
Brother Captain Artemis
I redid him a bit from last night,better now

I tweaked Artemis a little more,used a decal for the skull and added wings like you see on the studio model,infact it is now as close to the studio model as I can make it.

I also made a Knight Melta gunner

LR looking good!
Love the weathering on the tracks man.

Time for another imagedump

I have the last Grey Knight Termie I have finished




A Culexus Assassin




And the next in my 28mm Inquisitor model series
This one was easy because they make the models for them
Severina and Servora Devout

Just noticed how good the mirror effect is on your blades are.
Arbrush? Could you please give us a tutorial? I want to know how to do that...

The assassins are looking good. I've always loved the 'I'll poke you to death' assassin...

Yes it is airbrushed
I have all the pics for the tute,just need to write it up.

I finished the paintjob on Damien 1427
This model is the closest they make.
I just need to whip up a quickie base

^that model is so cool! what is it??

It used to be part of Cotez's retinue.

I started work on 54mm Bounty Hunter Proxie using the Inquistor with Inferno Pistol model.
He'll make a great Interragator when finished

I also got my Relic Contemptor,great model with Two Grey Knight style shields molded right on.
This is going to be my DreadKnight Stand-In as I HATE the real model.
The Contemptor has a very Humanoid look to it so I feel it works well.
I used the DreadKnight Swordhand to replace the Right power claw(after pic I removed claw bracket and fixed in place with g/s).
I have two more arms on the way and powerclaw which I have a Heavy Psycannon to mount onto and the assault cannon.
I also have a brass etch sprue on the way soon that I will bling him up with
Still a bit more to go on him

I don't suppose there's any chance that the contemptor dreadknight could be done in the winter camo scheme with weathering and weld lines?

pretty please with sugar and cherries.

Yeah boy,this model cost me $50 back in the day,but I am glad I bought it.
He is part of a Black Library Limited Edition model.
They were great mini dioramas of pretty damn good quality.
Would be awesome for them to do it again(hint,hint if your watching S.)
Inquisitor Silias Hand in progress.
And I traded for his Retinue a few weeks ago,so expect a few cool retro Necromunda Redemptionists soon too.

Finished Silas Hand this morning.
I tweeked him just a bit,the original belt buckle was like a standard Space Marine.
I overlaid it with a bit cut out of a grey knight chest bit,to make him look more like he did in Daemonifuge,also added a couple of purity seals on the shoulders

Worked on these two today Kal Jericho and a Squat with autogun I am using as a Jokero stand-in.Very Fluffy I think.

I finished the Witchunter this afternoon.
Figuring Witchunters are anti-psyker I did not give him a force blade.
What he has is a cold iron power blade that is just as deadly to psykers and creatures of the Warp.

The finished Witchhumter Tyrus

That Daemonhunter has a very nice hat. I'm quite jealous.

Was it part of the actual model or is it greenstuffed on?

Actual model it is on the GW site as Inquistor with Inferno pistol

Got the next batch of henchmen fresh off the brushes.
Gotta say the Inquisition is by far my favorite 40k thing to do.
You get to use all the great older models that are full of character.
First is my Slick Devlin stand in for my 28mm Inquitior models
The old scum model



And the first Zealot


This one is in progress

More Zealots in progress



And the next of my scaled down Inquisitor models
The Untouchable Sergeant Dorian Black





And I was able to work on the Sister Hospitaler

Started working on a Ayantani Priest from the Sabbat Worlds.

I finished the Priest

Got these two finished the Redeemer and Malekev.
I had Malekev already pretty much done he just needed touch-ups and highlights.
The Redeemer I worked on yesterday.

Just came up with that off the top of my head just now.
Either way another one down.

I got creative tonight.
My Blood Pact are down one Ogryn.
But the Inquisitor now has serious muscle.
I used the dredknight gatling bit,Dragonforge cable,and 22 guage wire to make a gattling laser on his wrist.
Replaced the Khorne etch with Inquisition ones to finish it off

ok the =][= ogryn is awsome!

Got the Ogryn finished up and based.
TBH the base was already done,I just tweeked it a bit.
Infact I am going to have to whip up a batch of a dozen or so bases really soon for all these guys I finished last week.

Got a package today the left arms for the Contemptor.
The Psycannon did not fit so the assault cannon will counts as Psylencer
I also got this Arbite model that closely matches the 54mm one.
All it took was a head swap and I now have Godwyn Fishig
The Echer juve is going to be Kara Swole

Wow you update your blog quickly! RESPECT

I really love the Redemptionists.

And where did you get the helmet for this guy?
Or are the goggles sculpted?

Scuplted it is from the FW cadian vet upgrade.

This one I made out of the BT cenobyte servator,added a hood and his is now I bionic cultist with relic ,maybe even banner bearer,whaaaaaaaat would a Inquisitors retinue need a banner bearer for...... I can't say )




And lastly I always hated the Daemonhost model,but I recently realised I never looked at it with an eye to converting it,once I did a gem in the rough popped out.
Cherubael

the cultist carrying that stone post, and the arbite both look really cool!

This is 40k we are talking about, so let me answer that in the appropriate manner:

Ask not: "Why add a banner bearer to an Inquisitor's retinue?" Rather ask: "Why not?"

Great work so far, keep it up!

The Deamonhost is coming out badass,I cannot believe I never saw this model hiding inside that crappy stock one.
Once I figured out to use the Zombie hand instead of that stupid looking lobster hand,the model just flowed.
Scale down the horns,add a shackle which also nicely hides the join,and use hex and round rod for the bolt for the zombie hand.
Kind of looks like Evil Jesus now.

And the finished Cherubael,looks like Eisenhorn finally figured out a way to shut him up.
I added thinned red glaze around the shackles to make like they are burning the skin.

I was able to finsh Untouchable Sergeant Dorian Black





And the first of the Inquisitorial Stormtroopers

Because you asked for it,more cultists
Love when I post a pic and then see a few spots that I missied

Today after thumbing through the new rulebook,I notice how important terrain is going to be.
I heard this before I bought the rulebook,that is why when I did I also picked up a Defense Line for this army.
Still needs to be weathered,more gold work but the bulk of the work done.
I added a few pieces of brass etch to personalize it to this army.

Well the next model is probally going to be so adored,the it will be in the pocket of the suit I wear i thye coffin.
The new Cyber-Mastiff but as you can see I have had one for about 8 years now


And the 40k version







And another two cultists

Wow, thanks for that information! That's REALLY useful to know! I already liked the model, but this makes it even more of a must-buy

As always, great job on the models!. My only nitpick would be the pouches on the troopers: They look a bit unfinished and could use some extra wash and painted details. Apart from that, though, great work all around!

Very true,never did go back over the pouches that is just basecoat,gotta hightlight that.

Yeah When I got the box of Redemptionists I was soo stoked I bought a second box.
The fact I can use bare heads to make even more Acolytes,had me very surprised always thought they were solid models like the old redemptions.
Robes/Body,Head,Hands.
They would make superb Chaos cultists,yoou guys might as well get a jump on them.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
I finished the last two cultists I am doing for a little while.
One with a bolter



And Voorhees

I needed a change of pace,felt like doing 6th edition terrain.
I picked up a Blastscape and Statue
The Blastscape is neat,This will probally be My Mysterious Terrain.
Never know what is hiding in that Rhino shell could be a unexploded ordinace could be a Psychneuein hive,never know.
The the trees can also count as Mysterious,so a Blastscape can have two different rules possibly.
I went with the Dark Angels as the unfortunate victim for a couple of reasons.
Black is nice and neutral,with the Black Armor Red Chapter badge this could possibly remains of the Fallen
I used a fallen marine to add some bling,totally goes with this model.
Which also makes it a cool objective for Hunt the Fallen
The backstory to this piece is they took a hit and the Captain ate it.
A couple of Brothers got out but had to leave fast(as if they were being chased)
And took the relic banner off of the Captains backpack.
They also emptied a crate for ammo

I think it looks really cool, my only complaint (if it needed one) is that why is the rhino all rusted but the guy is only barley rusted?

The trees need to be a slightly different colour to the ground and the sign...

Rogue Wolves wrote:I think it looks really cool, my only complaint (if it needed one) is that why is the rhino all rusted but the guy is only barley rusted?

I can answer that actually because I did put thought and reason behind it
The rhinos paint burned off in the hit so it was bare metal.
The Captain was killed and was drug out by a survivor,he was dinged to hell but the paint on his armor did not burn off.
The survivor grabbed the banner off the Captains standard grabbed some ammo from the crate and made like a tree and got the hell out of there.

The ground is a bit darker IRL,So the trees contrast more.
I loved the burnt out trees on the cover so I recreated it.
Then I improved on it by using ash white weathering powder as, ash

Ok time for the next piece of stat bonus scenery the Imperial Statuary.

ok the whole rust thing does make sense, and im liking the look of the statue alot!

Also finished the Cracked Aquilla in a rose colored marble and the fallen window

Scratch-built a tank trap today


And added some brass to these 3rd party dragons teeth to make them pretty mush identical to the OOP Forge World ones.
Might have to stick one in the replicator.

Gotta love Star Trek technology
And these use Hydrocal so they are concrete as you get without going to Home Depot
Who needs OOP Forge World,not I

Here they are all painted up

Well I just sprung for a Realm of Battle board.Gonna give this gaming thing a whirl.
And the stuff they were using at the FLGS weas just an eyesore.
You know the Ultramarine blue drybrushed Manufactorm that kind of thing.
So I will be making high standard terrain,Hopefully I am able to hold the walls together with Rare-Earth Magnets for ease of transport
But today I built the Skyshield,which may be getting LED's which would rock.
I also built "The Tower" an Inquisitorial Bastion and a Listening Post Bunker.
The LP will get twin antenne to go with the dish to make the roof buzy.

Ok it is starting to get out of hand here
I finished more Imperial and Chaos dragons teeth.
If you want some of your own shoot me a PM

Some great pieces in this thread.

Love the =I= bunker and the tank traps.

So for probally the 10th time I lost the auction for the old oop Cities of Death Battlemat.
So I decided to handpaint one on canvas as a distraction when I get burnt on my army(instead of starting a new army like always )
I bought a large 36x48 canvas(will eventually have to get a second to make 6x4)
and primed it with grey gesso.
Now like the Mayor I have to become a cityplanner and figure out the layout but I will be using a pic of the GW one as reference.
I plan to use the airbrush and template to paint the outlines were the buildings go.
I will get nice crisp lines that way,but will also be using artists pens and perhaps markers too.
So here is the canvas getting primed up



Well I have the flight deck of the SkyShield well under way.
Keeping the rust mainly on the diamond pattern tread.
I like the idea of adding LED's though that would be a first for me,if I do that I will have to put this off a week.
Might just and start working on the legs now.

Thats a great Idea, If you need inspiration check it out here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/60292695@N04/

Calidus Temple answers the call

Its been a while since I checked out your thread and the awesomeness is epic. I especially like the Contemptor with the sword. Terrain is pretty sweet too. Keep it up sir.

Worked on the Skyshield stanchon leg until I was happy.
I used the hairspray technique using Tamya Hull Red base, a layer of AK chipping fluid,then Vallejo Dark Grey.
Once dry I used water and a flat brush to remove the paint.
I then gave the bolts a wash with AK's Rust Wash and used dust effects and rust wash for light streaks.

My Realm of Battle board came in,off to the side for now until I plan it proper.
I am thinking the Ash Waste sceme for the GW site but with patchy snow.
Something nice gritty and cold for deadly cityfight battles.
I am selling the Inquisitor Tower,The primer roughcoated it and I also wanted it taller.
So consider ths practice and I will be selling a primed Grey Knight Bastion.
I could of made it work but like I said this ended up being a test run.
But I did get an awesome Listening Post out of it.
I finished the SkyShield landing pad,took me a couple of days but I am very happy with it.
No LED's for now,maybe at a later datemwhen I am out of models but right now I am flush with plastic to paint.
I added exhust char where Valks and Stormtalons exhausts usually are.










I also have been converting away behind the scenes.

Rust,Streaking and Winter streaking grime applied with a fine brush in vertical lines coming off of where you would expect to see run-off
I then used a large flat brush damp with thinner and started to steak it downward.
Next will be the pinwash.

the blood effects on the machete of the assasin is great!

Ok so today I finished off the Cathedral,All I have to do is paint and wash the skulls on the front annex,but in all I am very pleased with the results.
Use AK streaking fluid or Red/brown dark brown,and OD enamel paint paint thin vertical lines and blend in with downway strokes with a flat brush dampen with thinner.
I finished it off with dusting the bottom with MIG concrete weathering powder fixed with pigment fixer.

Wow it looks great! very realistic

So last night after work I find this waiting at the door
The FW Realm of Battle tile,so today I will finally start on the madness that is a Realm of Battle board and you know the motto always start with the shinest shiney you have

So when you first look at the board you might be disapointed with the ground texture,relax.
It is a base,you can paint it if you want but it is really meant to be flocked and hit with modeling sand.
I use a mix I buy at the railroad hobby shop 2 one quart containers of fine and medium ballast and a bag of small talus.
I mixed them all up in a spare container for a nice ground mix.
I used the Original Tacky Glue a old housepaint brush and a cup of water to help spread the glue and the ground mix
I broke the board up into six imaginary sections and layed the glue down then dipped the edge of the brush in water and spread the glue.
Once spread I added the ground mix and pressed it down lightly with my hand.
Then I would turn the piece over remove the excess sand and start on the next section.
You will want to lay the glue down in this way so it does not start to dry before you add the sand.

Once I had the board covered I used Scenic Spray Cement and coated the whole board generously but not letting it pool.

I then used a damp paper towel to remove glue and sand on detail I did not want it.
Afterward make sure to flush the sprayer with warm soapy water so you can reuse the sprayer(do this as soon as you are finished with it do not let dry at all)
Next it will get a black primer coat then the painting begins

I have the ground work painted up.
First I primed the whole thing black then I used Army Painter Leather Brown spray to dust over the black to turn it dark brown




I then drybrushed it using a house trin brush and various earth and grey tones

I hate you for owning one of those.

Don't hate the playa ,hate the game

When I can with high money items,I like to add a little something.
I left the tile alone for the most part,but this piece caught my eye,the security camera.
Now I happen to have just the right size for a AK product called realistic lenses.
I used the 3mm optic colored lense
Takeing a #17 flat blade I removed the molded in lense cutting it flush.
Using tacky glue I replaced it with the AK lense.
That along with some more rust work and I can put this tile to bed and start on the next,a very cool idea using an expansion tile and moonscape craters.












I did this in less than a day
I am Billy the "Paintbrush Kid" :lol:


Automatically Appended Next Post:
One down eight to go
For the second tile I started with one of my two expansion tiles.
My board will always always be for 40k,so I wanted a few themed tiles.
This one was simple take a few moonscape craters and plastic glue them down on the flat expnsion tile.
Instant barrage tile.
I layed the groundwork same as last time,think PVA glue,sand,watered down PVA applied with spray bottle.
I should have this one finished tommarrow before I have to go to work at 4pm.
Drying as we speak,shame PVA takes forever and a day to dry.

I also started the second expansion tile,this one is straight out of the Battle for Macragge set.
I finally used this great wreck scenery added a few cable,wires,and extra dodads around the wreck to well make it more wrecky.
I even added an extra Maruader gears I had,looks cool as hell I cannot wait for it to dry

This, right here, is what the RoB boards are all about. People complain about them, but they're designed for people to just go to town on them. Cut 'em up, rip 'em apart, glue things on 'em, personalize them and make them your own. Can't wait for the first Batrep featuring these babies!

I wholeheartly agree,any stock model is an anthema to me.
But funny enough I am more willing to mess around with the expansion tiles first,I need to take a good look at the standard set,make sure I do not mess up the hills.

I think I am going to leave the main 6 tiles relatively unchanged,the will be a crater or two.

What my thing will be is,to keep pumping out expansion tiles like this afterwards.

I would like to get a trench section going,a lake,city street,railroad tracks.
Ya know I am torn to pay a large fee for FW trenches or just wait for them to put out a trench tile.

Speaking of which regarding the Masterclass books,they have great tutorials that use parts you can not even buy.

I finished the crater tile this afternoon.
I used enamels to filter the rocks along with weathering powder to get that realistic apperance.
Then I added soot blast in the center craters in a star pattern and the same with the white ashes around the craters.
Two down six to go,well thats a bold face lie.
I just bought two more expansion tiles
I really like the idea or a minefield tile and the other who knows I think I'll put that up for a while.
I really want to make a trench tile,but if I was a betting man
I'd say even money that is the next special tile they make and trenches on Ebay are astronomical

Alrighty I have the next one almost finished just have to work the crater.

Seems hunting the Fallen is more important than Geneseed

noooo i love that model.. and he had to go an die! It looks great! and i must ask, where is that model from? I see it everywhere and love the look of it, but never asked...

Battle from Macragge silly goose it is a theme.
I figure the Dark Angel squad caught wind on the Fallen while on the mission to save poor Varvus
Screw copy and Paste in the ear!
Sorry had to get that out of my system as I write this for the second time.
So Hey-ooo have the Macragge board finshied.

And finally these Hirst Arts molds arrived today,I call the the 40k bundle evey mold needed to make gothic structures.

the boards look great and nice buy on the hirst arts molds! i have a couple, and cant wait to see what you come up with

Gotta cast em first

Hey-ooo
Do not think with all the terrain I am doing I forgot the Inquisition.
While at my FLGS to pick up some scenery for the next tile,my special order came in.
The Finecast Inquisitor with Inferno pistol.
Wait a minute I hear you say,you already did him he is a few pages back.
Yes but not in Finecast which is a converters dream compared to metal.
Using him as the base I was finally able to recreate my Favorite character of all time,
Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn.
I tried to make him four times before all of them crappy,even though at the time I was happy with them.
I guess pratice makes perfect because I finally nailed it.
I used dragonforge small cable for his scalp wires which leads to the power unit on his back.
The head is from the Forge World Enforcer which has that great dead fish stare.
The staff headpiece is clipped from the Black Library Eisenhorn miniature as heretical as it sounds.
But that mini is awful,looks more like Mr.Burns going on a rampage through Springfield :lol:
Babarastater is the handle from the witchunter and the blade from the baneblade commander.

Seconded! That's an excellent Eisenhorn. He really looks the part This thread is getting better and better all the time. That skeletal shuttle pilot further up is sheer genius as well

I have started on the forrest tile(In truth now it is finished and basecoated,forgot to take pics :( )

I used a Celuclay/Ultracal mix to raise the ground level so the trees all blend in.
Funny thing I added deadfall while it was drying outside and a bird thought it was just what thier bedroom needed.
I came out to a bare patch where the stick was :lol:
Lemons into Lemonade I was able to model a large puddle

But the exiciting thing
My brother must of brought these in the doorway from outside but never told me.
He is funny like Rainman,would not stop calling and texting me avout mechwarrior online,but does not think to tell me I have GIANT BOXES outside <_<

My Zone Mortalis has arrived,that little speck on the floor is this guy


I am going to need a bigger brush :rolleyes:

Pic's not working, but I am guessing it looks smexy!

Ok I have the forrest tile finnaly sorted out.
I was origianlly using dead twigs as deadfall but once primed the two different type of wood just smacked you in the face.
Sooo I took a plastic tree half and made a cast of that.
I made 3 tree halfs and glued them tto the base.
Now the deadfall matches the trees,infact now I have fell trees which is what I wanted in the first place
If you look at the one fallen tree at the bottom you see the hole the bird made when he stole the first twig when it was drying.
That will be perfect for Water Effects
I have a total of 9 GW trees for this board a respectable forrest for any table.

Some progress shot on Eisenhotn

I finished up the forrest tile today,it came out fantastic




I have one more tile to make a special out of but I am not sure what to do.
Any suggestions on a themed tile?

I have the next tile finished,it is one of the vanilla flat tiles.
In truth the rest of the enitre board is at the point where it just needs a couple hours drybrushing except for the flat vanilla skull tile.
Still have to make that one,then like said I have one last flat tile to theme.
Might just throw it in the closet until new terrain comes out,who knows.
No one idea has bit me in the ass yet.
I also completed my modular hill set,two sets truth be told.
You need to buy two mod hill sets to get this hill.Otherwise you have to use it on the board edge.
This way I can set the board up as a valley,throw this in the middle and viola instant mountain terrain,perfect for the Hymilzayas
I added a little gold static grass to add a spot of color.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
I started on the first Mortalis tile to see how I will tackle this project.
The tiles come in a black resin so using straight black primer could leave alot of bare spots,plus I have all the concrete too.
So I used Tamiya Grey primer to lightly basecoat the tile,I then used Alclad Black Spray Primer on anything I am going to paint mettalic.
I then noticed usless I want to spend forever hand painting the floor I was going to have to make a mask for the conctete.
I used a piece of computer paper and a pencil to make a rubbing of the tile which I then cut out with sisciors,I plan to do this again then transfer the image onto cardstock for a more durable mask.
But as long as I do not flood it the paper shoud suffice it fit so snug I had to use my hobby knife to remove the mask

I have the Eisenhorn model pretty much in the bag now

The forrest board looks amazing! and Eisenhorn looks great too!

That Eisenhorn model is lovely: great conversion and a nice paintjob! The only thing I am not sold on is the green skull atop his staff, since the colour makes it look rather goofy and it detracts from what should be the real focus point of the model: the face. Is it supposed to be glowing? If so, you could add some more accents to emphasise the effect. Otherwise, I'd go for a different colour.

Apart from that, though, great job! Keep it up!

I hear ya Kraut thought the same myself,Redid it grey but do you have a better suggestion?
Here is the tile weathered up with the final paint sceme.
I used AK streaking grimes (Standard,Rust,Winter,Dark) and worked them into the biege walls.
I used AK Blue-Brown very thinned as a filter for the floor and thicker for all the rivets.
Then when the floor was dry I added a filter of Winter Grime over all the concrete on the floor.
This one took me two days but I think I can easily knock it down to one.
With 15 more to do,I better be fast.

Nicely done on the zone mortalis! I love the streaks going down the walls, nice work!

Awesome thread. Just been viewing it on my phone and have been blown away by what I've been seeing. Going to gave to give it a 'proper' viewing when I get near my computer.

Excellent work. Keep it up.
