Now folks wanted to see the work done on the minis for the characters I have listed in my fluff, and here I have "Ogre" the big Melta gunner with his "back-up" melta. Next to what will be "Father Orlov" Painting the melta is what I need mostly for Ogre, and well, a bottle of vodka, some green stuff for the arm, as well a s beard and then paining the big priest. That is an eviscerator I made from a sentinel close combat weapon btw.
[/img]

Lamp on.
[/img]

Now the priests' back, showing some of the eviscerator and Ogre showing off his pride and joy!
[/img]


Holy Aquila(Rosarius) and spare Melta shown well, Meltas are big!
[/img]

AHHH!
cool minis! how will you paint the Orlov charcter? i pictured him as a standard catholic priest in black robes with a bit of golden detail...maybe a bit purple?
quite a fitting weapon the sentinel chainsaw! and it is doublebladed so to speak^^... will he be bald or with a hairdo?

and for "Ogre" i would suggest making a strap for holding that huge melta in place on his back.i would also consider giving ogre some sm shoulderpads as this would bulk him out further...

I smoothed away his hair, as he is Bald but with a beard! (I have plenty of Gray stuff) I had to chop the shield and mace the mini had, and will make the left arm look aggressive, and holding a bottle of battlefield "strovichnaya" made from a altered mortar shell^^ I have a nice set of images from the "Blood of Martyrs" for the colors of his vestments, his armor will be pretty flak armor-esque. The majority of the ecclessiarchal robes are white, that is a bit bland and doesn't really work well for battle, but red is Adeptusd Mechanicus or Redemptionistic, and he is by no means a redemptor with his drinking and liking of the ladies. I will likely use what I have to make his robes look like white linen, and make some sort of colorful edging.

Ogre has a left arm SM pad already. And again Gray stuff to the rescue! (strap for the weapon) ^^

Oh, and purity seals for the good father as well!^^

yeah purity seals all the way^^ i could also imagine a foliant resting on his other arm...hmmm as for the robes i guess then a very stained robe then...gruby as hell... i bet he is so faithful a servant that with all his sewrving for the emperor he forgot the use of soap alltogether...^^


is greystuff more expensive then greenstuff?
and the shoulderpad had escaped my look as it is in camo alredy and hwo expect that on a shoulderpad of Sm at all^^

Well, I will let you see for yourself what happens to him next.

Gray stuff in the amount I got it was 17bucks for large tubes of it from Gail Force 9

Gray stuff works well, here the strap and the beard are added, some arm armor and the "Bottle"
[/img]

Beard, purity seals and booze for the Father of battle
[/img]

Here you can see the power hoses, purity seals, and his hair and beard from a different angle
[/img]

And his holstered autopistol(think las pistol but with bullets)
[/img]

[/img]

This captures his beard and all his glory!
[/img]

Ogre is packing his second gun via a strap with buckle.
[/img]

Paint started Black primer for his armored form, and then a base of "Bleached bone"
[/img]

Now for some flesh tone basics.
[/img]

Hope these hold folks a while, my sculpting skills are rusty as you can see, but more practice will make for smaller and better buckles!

so firstly congrats for the nice and very fitting beard...he looks absolutly the part!

did you build the bottle from a mortar grenade? cool idea but to me it needs a bit more fleshed out in the lower part (loss of word here)
if you are aiming for a longnecked bottle you hit the nail...otherwise i would cut the neck a slight bit...but this is rather personal taste...
the autopistolholster is for my taste a bit to thick...but then i dont know how thick the grey stuff tends to be and if it can be spred thinner...with what tools do you work the material? i use currently dentist tools...(urgh^^) but they help a lot...in short time i hope to get me some color shaper tools...the ones with the soft silicone tip...this will provide my rise on the next level^^ of sculpting i hope^^

the strap could be thinner i give you that... but this could be mended a twofold...i guess the stuff is cured totally? then you could probably either file it down a treat to get it way slimmer...probably with a dremel to get speed ...
or you could poke small dents/holes in the material to make it look like a chain that is the strap...with a very small drillbit this might actully work... as i understand grey stuff is very strong after it is cured...

but all in all a very cool work you pulled off there...
this will go a long distance and as of orlov you will be very proud of him when finished^^


vik

Nice!
I'd prefer one the old hip flasks myself, but that's just me.
I'd imagine orlov as having grubby brown robes, much like friar tuck.

nope he will have gruby white robes^^ and for a big man like orlov the hipflask wouldn´t do... that be just one gulp...and then he would raid his next fellow guardsman for a second gulp...

BTW I like the camo on ogre.

Vik: Yeah, the size of the auto-pistol is ridiculously huge and clunky, and that makes the whole thing look like that.

My sculpt skills will improve with time. I can likely get some smaller size to the gray stuff once it is cured, otherwise when soft it tries to rip away..

Probably have to go back and eventually rond the bottom more, but it would make for a very stable bottle with such a flat bottom like that. And yes, I was shooting for a tall necked bottle!^^

Shrike: Ecclessiarchy robes are white, but you may notice some brown at the bottom with the next pics to come.

Thanks, that is the Khadrovian Hard armor camo.

looking forward to more pics!

More you shall have! Whitening up!

holy....that red is looking cool to the white^^
did you do something to olrov holster? it looks now a bit smoother... maybe the paintjob did that...paint can do wonderful things...

although i have to say i quite like the way you built up the blond hair/beard of him i have to say in your stories i pictured orlov as a blackhaired man...but i think you have now a nice twist of an angel there...angel gone bad^^... with a vengance^^

for ogres meltas i think the muzzle could do now with a verrrry dry drybrush action again over the muzzles sooted parts so to break up the dark effect just a tiny bit.... afer that then some washes and you will be perfect! for real! only a bit lessen the red of the "mag" of the melter...it is quite yelling now^^


by the way... what model was rlov in the first place? got a linky there for us?


cool work mate!, vik

Just making him in priestly colors is all. I smoothed the holster a bit then let the paint do the rest.

just goes to show that one never knows what one will find about a person or character!^^ Yeah, a dirty angel!

I will try some adds on for the melta to dull it down a bit.

Here we go, took time to find the cleric he was made from.
http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/Dark%20Heaven%20Legends/latest/03396

Thanks!

well he certainly looks the part of a migt be SM... that mini is full of character and you did a truly hard working job to get all that facehair off of him ...and i have to say this i quite the right mini for your vision!

also it has the right details like the book from the beginning...

in some days i wiull go for some nice reaper minis too, i got me
http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/Chronoscope/latest/50147

and
http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/Chronoscope/latest/50148

to be future commissars in my army... last one is something i would recommed to you if you want to make a female commissar on a budget... look for hordes of bits on your ebay.,..they do now a discount session that might end real soon...

Vik, you just gave me the mini i need for Kommissar Teona, add a commissar style hat and make that a bolt pistol hang a sword at her hip and Voila~!

or even better to not ruin her sexy hairdo just greenstuff a hat on the floor ...this and her drawing boltpistol action would make her look really cool^^

True, a fallen hat in the heat of the moment.

[/img]

Ready for Battlefield sermons!
[/img]

did you freehand the aquilla on orlov? really good work^^
will you now aply washes to him? a bit of devaln mud to blend the mud on the robes with the robves itself better? and a bit to dirty it all over^^

i don´t really know what color meltasstreams might have so for now i take your word for it to be blue^^ and i just realized now that you have used secend edition SM arms on ogre...left and right...didn´t see it before...the unpadded one looks really good and could be just the thing to use for DIY stormtroopers...now there is a thought....

and by the way... the good night shot jut revealed to me how good ogres shades are looking both thumbs up mate^^

Yep! freehanded the aquilla on the tabard and his left shoulder guard.^^ Devlan mud wash to make him grittier.

Yeah, tactical squad arms for Ogre and his pals. Represented Carapace Armor for the bunch!

That gun get's so bright he has to wear shades!

lol...sunburnt by melta... get your tanlines the very hard way^^

Yep, it's so "Rad"
It was also nice to make front page here as well with this thread.

Aquilla on the shoulder!(freehanded)
[/img]

the aquliia is here again quite nice, what is this on the former shield arm? writings? looks nice...

Actually, I used a knife to make another Aquilla, but it looks like as if it is so old that over time it has been fading, so it could be mistaken as writing in the pattern of another Aquilla. A relic of faith as it were!^^

using a knife for painting... now there is a thought...gives that extra edge i suppose^^

I still had old shield patterns, so Gray stuff and the knife allowed me to do some experiments!
[/img]

More of the front tabard, and he looks like he is searching for a fight too!
[/img]

sorry mate but i think i cant see what you did now...where should i look now to? might be speachinpediment of mine...

Oh yeah, his left forearm guard.

so you did now an inprint eagle? nice touch...could be just the new thing... and to say it your skill seems now to improve as you had to use a very tine amount of greystuff there...

by the way whats it called for real? is it the same as miliput or other?


by the way seeing orlov now under the microscope i have to say quite good eyes!

Just Gray stuff!

Thanks to my new "reading" glasses, or short range optical assistants!^^

LOL....there is a worldwide trend to get things and persons thsi assistant names, isn´t it?

True, as Orlov has his sermonizing assistants and his battle assistant, (Bottle,book, and eviscerator)
[/img]

[/img]

Nice!
I like the fact he has a giant chainsaw and is an alcoholic...not a good combination...
"99 XENOS AND TRAITORS ON THE WALL! 99 XENOS AND TRAITORS! YOU TAKE ONE DOWN, AND SCREW HIM AROUND, 98 XENOS AND TRAITORS ON THE WALL!"

May I introduce "Inspector General"=Lord Inquisitor of S.C.H.M.E.R.T.Z. Mikhail Illyavik Romanov.
[/img]
He has been the subject of an experimental program, wherein he has had some of the implants that a Space Marine would receive, but not the same hypno-doctrination. This program was made possible by special dispensation of the Dragons Errant Chapter Master Behamorr. This way they can have a fighting chance against some of the things they come across. He is equipped with Power Armor, a Bizon pattern Storm-bolter, a Force sword, and storm shield as well as frag and Krak grenades and a rosarius. He is Iron Willed, and can have access to Inquisitorial level psychic powers if chosen. Considering his penchant it is less likely for him to do so, He will be waiting to fight as he helps lead the Khadrovian Armies with his retinue.

the people demand moooaaaaarrrrr pics of this next to inquisitor kind of character!
on what mini is he based?
is that a chaos shield or elven?
cool idea to make your own stormbolter out of two regualr bolters... looks really to get a lot of respect from enemies and allies alike...tho one thing: the makarow is a very puny tho officer issue design...
can i make a suggestion? i would use the term bizon pattern...this would sound a lot cooler and it is too a russian design name...also a bit more up to tge design of the bolter in my book...
please make a pic with better lights as much of this fine mini is lost due to light...

hmmm i really begin to fall in love with reaper minis....seeing how cool an inquisitor loks like and now that my GS skills are developing i may get myself into doing one myself too...i stil have an emperors champion surplus.,..do you think this would work for an inquisititor as a base? headswap and some more...?
the pose of the officer i like... the swordarm i have not seen before...

the flash is really not becoming for the minis.... i thought his face was all done already only to see it wioth flash as only basecoated^^

and one big cheers goes out to your gold and other metal colors... this guy is really shiny... in a good way!

oh one further thing... he needs a powerpack and a cable to his sword in my opinion...

Reaper has so many generic minis that can be used!^^
You likely could do some GS+Headswap and make an Inq from such.

The officer came with my Bane blade model.

Yeah, see what moody lighting can hide? I will be making Mikhail with black hair though, it suits his facial expression I think.

Shining Gold+Burnished Gold, and Mithril silver

Oh the force sword needs no cable, it relies on his mind for the power! I have a old school banner poled back pack for him when he is done!

hmmm looking forward to see some freehand on that banner then^^

???

the force sword needs no cable, it relies on his mind for the power!

??? thats working that way?? never knew that...

yep give him jetblack hair... would be cool looking...almost emperor like^^ ups HERESY!!!!


ok officer in baneblade kit... well thats ridicioulsly out of my budget for about...the next millenia...

Well, I will have to cut and make a banner for the pole to paint!

Yeah, as long a wielder of a force weapon has not used a psychic power that turn, he can use the force weapon to deal damage if an unsaved wound occurs, they act like power weapons normally, but if the enemy has multi-wounds, any unsaved wound is a way in for him to pass LD check and remove all remaining wounds!

Black with some smallish blue high lights.

Yeah, it was 95USD for me!

ouch....the baneblade is a killer in more ways than one...

Viktor von Domm wrote:ouch....the baneblade is a killer in more ways than one...

Definitely a wallet killer, even with the plastic version being cheaper than the older resin kits!

speaking of...when do we see some love on the tanks again?

I will be working on my MBT-90D aka T-104 later on as it is wednesday and I will be down there to paint yet again!

Back tabard

Frontal assault

i´d go over the whole tabard with a bit of devlan mud or even ogryn flesh?...to blend the mudcrust and the cloth better together...

and then i have to say i dont know what you did but orlov now seems a bit to have a high bloodpressure...his face is a bit in a redder shade than looks healthy^^

i like the boots they look like good mudracked boots should look like^^

by the way... i shudder at how you treat your minis...

Either thast or Badab black? but another layer of Devlan mud may work, and well, Orlov is an angry Father when it comes to battle and imbibing booze.

Thanks about the boots.

You mean the new cron-recruits? they are unfinished so no worry about anything damage wise. Until they get to stage like Orlov or Mikhail, Then I worry about those paint jobs.

ah, this is understandable^^

so olrov is a professional yeller and thus he gets the big red head^^ now i understand that too^^

bizon?
when I read that I was hoping for a PP-19-style storm bolter...oh well...this is cool none the less!
LOVING ORLOV, really good work. No offence, but having ginger hair and being an alcoholic, he reminds me of the stereotypical scottish guy...he should be bodyguarded by vik's "fat bastard" ogryn...

I suppose a light coat of pallid flesh over the Dwarf flesh would help make him seem less choleric looking.

LOL! That would be a funny sight, but once you have befriended an Ogryn, they will do all they can to be a bodyguard/meatshield to protect their "little buddy"

Mikhail with black on the hair and a chestnut wash(Yes I still have a bit of that discontinued stuff left!)

Here with a modified shield. This way folks know what he is supposed to proxy as. S.C.H.M.E.R.T.Z.=Inquisition!
[/img]

His now golden gun!^^
[/img]

Mikhail and Orlov, what a team!
[/img]

that bit on his shield is it from a necro`n? it sure reminds me of something from their line...

chestnut wash? never heard of that one... i use fleshwash... which is also oop and i have now only a very limited suply left...i am in grave danger...^^

so he is the man with the golden gun...ok fire away your puns...

It is a modified "I" like the Inquisition has.

Hmm, well, I suppose I could assemble a circus like retinue for him! And make a Grot into a human of that size to play Knick-Knack. Ya know, shave the ears, color him in human colors, clothe him better, and have him bring a tray with a bottle of amasec on it.

BTW, more tankl pics as well.

I vote you steal my scout/veteran/henchmen idea if you have the money to fork out £42 for 10:

steel legion heads and scout bodies.
Or for a cheaper version go scout bodies and other IG/28mm respirator heads?

like the idea with a gobbo servant to get freshly poured amasec...whatever that might be... bet i wouldnt want to drink that...sounds a bit like something to clean with...

and some converted noobs or other orcs with a headswap as bodyguards...seen some good versions of that kidney here...

and i did understand what it should look like that "I"... just wanted to get a bit deeper in the processmaking of something cool looking...

Thanks Shrike! Pig Iron Heads on scout bodies would make unique troops.

LOL! Amasec is the 40k version of Cognac!^^ Distilled from wines.

Khadrovians hate Orks, that is why the Grot would be made more human.

Ah, that "I" is the housing for the electro-field for that storm shield!

i would still use the bulky bodies of orks with headswaps...maybe some flagelants...to give that dumb/mad look and so you would have bulky bodyguards on the cheap...lil greystuff work on them maybe some tabards as well and they would be good brusers for an inquisitor...

by the way... a bump in my steamy thread would be nice^^

pig iron militia heads + scout bodies (with shotguns) = inquisitorial henchmen/retinue.

Vik: you got bumped. And yeah, Orks may make good vat muscled up-grade bodyguards, with human heads, but they still look odd at the hips and legs section.

Shrike: Yep, they would look like privately raised militia for the Inquisitor.

looks rather open and comfy...not a GW shop, am i right?

It is a independent hobby store, I work as pothers are battling or doing their own work. The Nids were fighting Blood Angels (Guy in red shirt is Blood Angel/Red Cron player)

well that is nice to have a club near your place...i am not motorized and the next best thing would be a lousy shop where they put their noses high for 40k... only warmachine stuff happening... and the GW shop thats next to me is about a 3/4 hour worth of public traffic...i dont have to draw here a pic as to how i ever gonna get the airship (may god provide speed of its completion) to that store...

have you thought something special for his base? and likewise to orlov? well him he could do with a regular footsloggerbase but mikhail could do with something more top nothy i guess...did you use superglue or what to fix him on his base? could you pry him off of it?

cheers, vik

Yeah, Our local store is a 10minute walk down the road fro me. I put boxes in a duffel bag, or for some armies, I have a carrier case.

Orlov has a muddy base already so he is based.

Yep, Mikhail may get a more scenic basing done for him as he is a metal mini and I used super-glue for him, I can easily put him on another base with some sort of "scenery" ^^

i also would maybe use a termy base for him as i think he looks on his current base a bit crowded^^

and the tank behind him looks better an better^^

by the way... did you paint that inquisition "I" on his shield already? looks in the pic mightyly plastic for me...(as in grey)

I am thinking that base looks puny as well Vik.

Thanks about the tank!

I sculpted that with the Gray stuff

Oh yeah, my Internet was offline for a few as they love to do "repairs":at this hour!

you did the I all by your self? cool!

by the way a small update on my guys^^

since i dont do WOW anymore i never had any onlineprobs anymore^^

Oh the provider tends to love 2am repairs here.

Yep, made that "I" with my own two hands and a hobby knife to help out.^^

I will look, and the tank thread is feeling lonely as well.

well then you can slap your back from a distance from me in a frienldy benevolent way^^ cause it looks really good...

now the tricky part...how will you paint it as the shield is already golden...ummm tough nut...you could go silver...or you could do it purple as the small piece of tabard mikhail already has so to better tie in the shield to his own scheme...would look very food i suppose...

Well, with Storm shields I normally attempt to make some sort of "electrical" paint scheme to indicate it is lit up and active.

Three big fighters posed together^^
[/img]

[/img]

ohhhh... this sounds promising... electric discharges on the surface...hmmm still time to do some small surface work with greystuff? to create a not so even surface? you could do some really small line on the "I" then and after that then you pant the lightnings with a relief to support the style...

Well, actually, I was going to use different shades of lightblue to white for the "lightning" effect.^^

yeah i know that way... but i saw once how someone here made lightningbolts with GS... and a paperclip parts for support... looked realy stunning... was an cinematic effect for a libby...

Viktor von Domm wrote:yeah i know that way... but i saw once how someone here made lightningbolts with GS... and a paperclip parts for support... looked realy stunning... was an cinematic effect for a libby...

^^
nice work, shaso!

Thanks guys! I just hate making minis to a way that will not easily transport.

that is a fully understandable reason...tho i would do otherwise...as i am not wise^^

I tend to pack and travel my armies. It could always be needing repairs if it had fiddly bits to break off.

I have some models which NEVER break, and some that break every time I pick them up (it seems).

its always the quiet ones that crack first...

Viktor von Domm wrote:its always the quiet ones that crack first...

Vik, ALL models are quiet. I don't know what kind of pinnochio models you have, but mine don't talk.

Vik and his talking models!^^

gw recently relased in these parts an upgraded talking version of their kits... it is a bit unnerving to open a box of screaming like hell cadians but once you have completly put them together it is quite a nice talk once in a while with some of them... although those stupid sarges can only yell so it seems...


to bad for you that this is a special offer ot newer subscriptionists at the GW site...

LOL! Imagine this, My Tau speak only when spoken too, My Guard are always partying when not fighting, My Space Marines are always chanting some phrase or hymn when practicing, and my Orks,,,,,well, you can only guess!

My Necrons, now there is the most silent of the bunch, they just like to stare. Staring, staring staring, glaring.

which would be anoyingly to the fullest... a complete army full of staring lil soldiers...standing there on your desk and planning god knows what...

Well, Necrons, go figure right?

Mine would be:
orks- being ded killy an' sneaky.
DKoK- silent.
raven guard- stealthy and swimble (it's a word we use in my backstage crew class, meaning swift and nimble).

the only ones talking would be my conversions, lysander, libby, and SL.

You have been busy! So have I! More work on Mikhail and Orlov New base for Mikhail
[img]

[/img]

Dealing with something that won't stay asleep!
[img]

[/img]

Orlov is probably on eof my favorite IG 28mm base conversions I've seen.

He is one of the most colorful of characters I have made so far, I just wish could have found a pair of females for his shoulders, and then I would have done the pose for his "sermonizing"^^

that would be awesome...

here how about these to go for the slutty nuns?





i choose the unpainted mini pics as the painted are mostly a bit naughty...

I thought of those, but I don't think holy nuns would be half-naked on the floor, draped around his arms at least...
they look like orlov's backhanded them onto the floor...

they have lots of potential and shaso is getting better with greystuff...

true enough...
so are you!

Maybe clothe and perch the kneeling one on a shoulder.

tho i have to say your olrov might be a bit to small to support those two at once...

A bit too small?! This guy's giant!

well yes but even so...

Oh well, it's up to shaso anyways...
*yawn*
read ya later (not hear ya later, vik... )

Well, a similar looking model would be required, one standing more like he was weightlifting, and then perch the gals on his shoulders while the hands are gripping bottles.

There appears to be some kind of human in the background.

what a useful comment and so on topic as well...

No worries Vik. I have been loading a few more pics of the Inquisitor Mikhail and Father Orlov!

Sneaking around
[/img]

[/img]


An angle to show wash used on his new base(Mikhail that is)
[/img]

[/img]

we need a closeup of his stormshield asap^^

Close up!
[/img]

[/img]

[/img]

well this will leave a hell of an indentation when aplied to heretic head^^


coll paintjob...
will the bolter get a bit of wash? i´ve read (read only not done myself! so be careful) that golden might come up a treat if washed with green...if you feel experimental today^^

LOL! Yes it will,

I have found a base of shining gold with a chestnut wash and then a dry brush of burnished gold does nice as well.

this is waht i can easyly understand too...gives a warm look to the gold...

Exactly! That is why I do it.

nice work!

Thanks Shrike, I do like to make my "special" guys stand out more from the crowd!

Now the Inquisitor lord can be used once I have a copy of the Inquisitions latest books, but I still have the more appropriate Witchhunter codex for him and his retinue.

Sorry, the smart ass in me sometimes finds an outlet. I've been working on it for years.

I would have left proper feedback, but I was hoping my remark would somehow convey my opinion.

Needless to say, I like it all. The shield is good. I have liked flipping through the pages of this thread. It has been very entertaining; sorry for being a trifle unpleasant.

Micromegas: No harm done. Glad you like the work

all is well that ends well^^

LOL! yes, it does^^

Mikhail with more outfitting!
[/img]

[/img]

[/img]


[/img]

his front does look really good, exelent brushcontrol for those fiddly bits...
on the back the swordblade needs a bit of touchups tho...

really like Mikhail , the gold is great and so is his shield.

yep that gold tone is very warm looking...really nice shade!

Neil101: Thanks!

Vik: you know by now that these were not the only pics! What were you saying about the sword?
[/img]

[/img]

Now all he needs is not a mountain of paper to fight, but a swarm of gribblies!
[/img]

Flashed again
[/img]

Front, I will go over the eyes a bit more, but I am now fond of the Leonid Brezhnev style eyebrows, they add to the Menace!
[/img]

[/img]

i say if you can do a bit of slight texture on the hilt to add a bit of charcter to the sword... i take my last comment back as it is cool now^^

They look really good!

Thanks guys. I will try to do something, but that sword hilt is smooth by nature, Odd that.

exactly... do something about that^^ maybe a thin layer of greystuff?...you could even use some tiny dots of superglue on the hilt and latrer after fully cured paint that then...how does that sound?

Hmmm, possibly gray stuff, make it look like a wound over covering.

TBH I can't tell what's wrong with the sword...

The hilt has a smooth hand grip.

so are there any pics stuck in the warp that want/need to come out yet?

*shameless unimaginative bump right there^^*

need a little more work on Mikhail, and then I need to get a mini for Kommissar Teona Zvedvedov

that one keeps popping up...no idea where it's from...

the shown mini is the one female commissar from GW long OOP...

your other minis show much promise...the first link would be a nic addition to a russian themed army if converted a bit...

but since i have recently bought me my own female commissar from reaper minis i say this again:

http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/Chronoscope/latest/50148

cant get any better than her for zvedehov (sorry if misspelled^^)

If it were easy to find that old commissar cheap no worries, but more than likely, expensive!

Yeah, the female sgt has the great coat and could look commissarial, but Vik is right, the reaper mini is running high with a lot of nice details going for it. One sexy commissar, a hat landed near her feet, her pistol built up to be a las or bolt model, and a close combat weapon at her hip.

I agree, I like the reaper mini...

Tried reworking his eyes, but I need some more white to fix them but here is Mikhail

a lot of nice stuff! interessing!

again i am impressed from the lighning on the shield, but i cant really tell what you did now with mikhail^^...
i was just pondering the thought that it would be good to use a white sheet of paper or for that matter plasticard as a background so to catch more light and get a better focus on the mini...the last pics are focus wise ok but just a thought...

Yeah, worked on the eyes a bit but still need more to fix them. Next, the sword hilt.

Thanks Fantasybob

Make sure you post pics!

There will be pics of the hilt, his eyes, and if I can get the spy model, I will have pics of her as well..

*rubs hands together*

Likely Saturday or so, until then, the 'Crons still have pics to go

Junior Inquisitor Valentina(Blurry teaser)
[/img]

Getting clearer.
[/img]

Not yet
[/img]


Back and shield, I will sculpt an =I= on that shield. Maybe change her robes color.
[/img]


Her refractor field must have been on or something!
[/img]

Finally! a clear shot of her eyes.
[/img]

So, there is some restoration work to be done for Valentina. But mostly touch ups.

well now seeing her in all beutiful likenesses i would like to see her with a silver streak on her forehead? that would look cool...doens´t have to be actual silver more like white or blonde hair...that would be cool looking.
impressive look and if you add a bit of the purple you used for mikhail the two of them would blend together really well!
i love that gin by the way..., got it one day in a bits box and used it since then on some mini i am ashamed i forgot lol^^
nice eyebrows also, i dont like the trimed down look on modern women thse days... some of the women i see outside have eyebrows so thin ... sometimes even totally shaved of and painted on... urghhh...looks so artificial...so in other words count me as a fan of valentia^^ by the way... too a reaper model?

Nice suggestion, a little color mix for her hair. ^^
She'll be even sexier!

Yeah, purple outside with white lining for the robe part.

The model is in fact a Reaper Crusader mini sculpted by the talented Werner Klocke. I love the way he makes realistic and also beautiful women.

second that... she looks stunning while not bursting.... not so often seen in fem models...have you looked in thsi thread here:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/356698.page


some very good looking fully (well almost^^) clothed fem fatals in this thread to spice up anyones army ideas^^

Saw that thread, got some bookmarks from it already.

Yeah Werner is a damn good sculptor.

That model is just...wow...
that's a nice paintjob.
I fear the robe and shield are too similiar in colour, and though I'd normally say red robes, she already has red hair, so...dark green with lighter highlights and a black wash, kind of emerald-colour?

that but not shiny?
just my two cents/pence.

Vik was thinking purple robes like Mikhail.

or make her really pretty with pink and lil elephants...

Inquisition interrupting this post for a summary execution for speaking heretic suggestions:
*boltround through temple*
*body slumps*

argh....argh....arghhhhhhhhh........aaaaaarrr.......pffff...*silcence*

Thinking about it, that's probably a better idea...matching with her master's colour...yeah, do that.

No worries, she will be done in those colors to match his because she is one of "them" Although her armor is silver with gold highlights.(she has to earn that gold armor)

So, here are pics of Adept Justinian, You can tell what part of the Emperor's realms he is associated with.
[/img]

Back
[/img]


That side shot should really clinch it for folks.
[/img]

duh... he a special xeno lover? thats why he has the extra arm to better hug´em?

The extra arm, and the other gear on his back, all part of the beloved augments of the Adeptus Mechanicus! More so he can love a machine and become one with the Omnissiah of that techno-religion!

You really don't want him to hug you with that arm!

i bet he can be all cuddly to a radio or a toaster...ahhhh come here you lil `chine^^ *smmooch*

Viktor von Domm wrote:i bet he can be all cuddly to a radio or a toaster...ahhhh come here you lil `chine^^ *smmooch*

LOL! they do love their mechanicals!

Valentina and Justinian with a ride nearby.
[/img]

am i right that you havn´t really begun to paint the two of them up?

I will later as I desire matching her to Mikhail, and the blonde streak you suggested. Justinian will be all Adeptus Mechanicus in colorations.

shasolenzabi wrote:You can tell what part of the Emperor's realms he is associated with.

Duh, OBVIOUSLY!
Adeptus Custodes, right?
Seriously, nice work on him so far!

Painting today of he and Valentina, pics will follow.

unforntunatly it will ahve to wait till morning as the bedbugs ´ve bitten me quite hard now...so i call it a night for now^^

i´ll be awaiting updates eagerly

vik

Hmmm, Okay, here are the Crusader bodyguards for my Inquisitor class character. Yuri and Stefan. I sculpted a =I= on their shields
[/img]

Joined by Bartolomeaus, the Adept/warrior-scholar.
[/img]


Primered and Justinians with a fresh lick of red paint.
[/img]


And where is Valentina you ask? Here she is with the start of her new look!
[/img]

[/img]

She seems to have affected the camera crew!
[/img]

[/img]

[/img]

[/img]

yep see that blone streak shining through....

She seems to have affected the camera crew!

that made me lol quite loud^^

by the way she reminds me now of firestar...:



and even more fellas to join your crew....cool poses on the new guys...and the "I" seems like you really get the hang on doing sculpting work!

by the way yet again... seeing now those smoke lanchers... could it be that they are a bit in the fireingline of the side guns oon the turrets? for me it looks a bit that way...

Well, now that you mention it, she does seem to be fiery tressed afterall.

LOL! I just had to make that spot about her affect on the camera crews.

I zoom forwards, use the smoke launcher, next run, the thing is done and the weapons can shoot low as the launcher is detached.

just realized you really like smokelaunchers... seems every tank has them? do you order them seperatly?

These were spares I g\had laying around from the massive amount of leman kits that came in the Emperor's Fist tank box for the Apocalypse formation. paid 275 for 400dollars worth of kits at the time when Leman was 40usd a kit. now they are 50 a kit.

gosh you must have had too much money back then...but mind yu to really go ballistic and built lots of tanks would be nice for my taste too^^

I would dare say that with the total combined force of soldiers and tanks of my armies, all totaled, I have a miniature force that would make many small nations envious.

Tau/IG/SM/Ork vehicles. all the CSM/IG/SM/Tau/Orks troops I have.

do i see/read tau...and you never shown nuthin? to us?...shame on you mate!

I have a miniature force that would make many small nations nervous

fixed that for ya^^

Oh, it is a rather large collection, and I would have to get them all out of the box to show, they are also mostly earlier paint works. No worries, there will come a time when they get out to show off. Same for my Orks.

My CSM will shock most as they do not look anything like what you would expect.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
CSM Lord for my army. Model used was this

i recently saw some lizard slaneeshy CSM s with even a lizard dread to boot... wasn´t offended by them to say the least...
if i ever came across a offline shop that sold reaper minis in my `hood i would probably need to steal some serious money....as i would be packing heavy^^

Nice, but now, to get back on OP for Khadrovian Characters. I do want to make into Teona Zvedvedov

the mini even looks like you could just stuck the blade to the belt and doesn´t need to add a strap on her shoulders for extra support...... do you think the heels should be sculpted away for flat sensible boot? hmmm.... nawwww...

Gray stuff to add to the boot. The sword would work just attached tot he belt.

Sounds good to me!

She will have the boot-heels that one can use to break and grind small bones of the hand/foot/face under neath

kinky!^^

It matters not the feelings of the enemies of the Emperor! She just wants them to suffer for their crimes!

still kinky^^, also in close combat i guess you need every edge you can get^^...

imagine this:

kommissar: charge! you fould stinking underserving servants of the emperor!

IG: now there is no need for namecalling you know?

K: ?

IG: yeah you got me right....we have feelings too...*steps closer*

K: fumbles with bolt pistolholster...

IG: *gets even closer...*

K: well then feel this...*drives 9 inch high heel through the foot of said/sad IG....

IG: *slumps to ground and makes bubbling noises...*

LOL!

Nice mini! whit some work, this can be a perfect Commissar!

Exactly, although to avoid messing up her head, I will have the hat sculpted, and on the ground. Sword at her hip, and a modified pistol.
