I feel like you should have cut the rubble out from his feet and had him going up the step on the base. Seems kinda weird now. "I know this is the only pile of junk in front of me, but the floor is lava, so better step on it"

Did think about that but those bases don't look right from the back. He's in an underground mine so am comfy with rubble on a metal base. Still have to prime and paint all the rubble mind

That's Cassius done. Nice fig to paint. Not the best of the set but pretty sweet sculpt nonetheless

Looks great Jan! Nicely done

Cheers fella. Need to
Decide which one is next

I stand corrected, base looks great.

Cheers Whaley. You did have a good point though and the more I looked the odder it got so I added in a whole pile more rubble to blend int the block he's standing out. Think it looks ok the now

Tons of great stuff lately jan, those terminators came out really well. You did an exceptional job on Cassius' face as well.

Added rubble ties the base into his pet rock well. Looks good.

Cheers muchly fellas. Skin n faces still my weak spot. Need to work on that.

I like the skintone you gave Cassius. I definitely think you're skintones are improving!

You're making me wish I had Space Hulk, Jan! I've got a friend who has an extra one that I might try to buy off him, but I'm not sure he wants to part with it.

If you get a chance to buy one. Do it. You won't regret it. You can pick up a copy on eBay reasonably these days. Just make sure it's 4th ed

I second that about getting 4th ed. it's a faff to get the extra board pieces as we've discovered.

Superb jobs on the terminators and Deathwatch. I think you're making me more nervous with each one about trying to paint my own!!

Was up at 4am this morning due to my beautiful wife's remarkable impression of a badly maintained freight train done through the medium of snoring - so I thought I'd have a bash at getting a colour scheme together for and paint up one of the stealers cultists from DW:O. Think he turned out nicely enough. As these fellas work in an underground mine, went for a more used and grubby look. Nice and quick figs to paint thankfully so got him done in a couple of hours all told.

Lol! I hope your wife doesn't visit your blogs on here

Great job with the GS Cultist. He certainly looks very industrial with that paint scheme. Will you be getting any of the new stuff outside of Overkill then? Or just sticking to the 40 or so cultists from the game? (Do you have the game or just the models?I forgot). Overkill is well worth playing IMO. First mission is a touch unfair to the Cultists as the Deathwatch get a fair number of re-rolls to shoot stuff. After Mission I though... Good luck! lol.

I have the boxed set. Great great buy that was. Mind you all the GW boxed set are pretty awesome value. I'll get a few extra bits for both the bug squad and the DW eventually. Vehicles most likely. Love the blackstar flyer and the Goliath is a sweet bit of kit too. Will hopefully get around to playing some DW:O
at some point but definitely putting in a LoS house rule - lol

Cultist looks good. Is that an orange or brown you went for with the clothing?

Dirty faded orange

Looks good

The last space hulk termie. Brother Califragalistic! Made a start on him. Tabard came out nicely. Will probably be working on the blues on stream tomoro. Getting loads done these days it seems. Yay!!

That's a really cool figure, can't wait to see him finished. FINISH HIM!!
Sorry, I got excited

Cheers Tom. Gonna try and get all his blues done tomoro. Spent today building and DW character and the Genestealer Magus (not that's a very cool fig) and arsing around with computer trying to sort twitch out. Urgghhhh computers!!!

Made a start on the lib termie's blues live on stream tonight. Hopefully get the blues finished tomoro

Blimey, I have missed a lot Jan. Cassius and the cultist look great, and an excellent start on the Libby as well. I have never really looked at that mini in detail before so thank you for the close up shots.

No worries T. Cheers. Been getting a fair bit done recently and coming soon..........

Ooo what are these funky beasts?!

The DW:O cultists looks wicked by the way, that grubbed up orange space suit works really well.

EDC

They are Casket, Silence, Dirge and Ghast - Guildball players from the morticians guild. I have another three in the cabinet yet to paint as well. Something a wee bit different. Will be starting them next week on stream.

Bit of progress while streaming this morning. Finished up the libbie's blue armour though I may add a filter into the recesses later and got the dread's gold done n'all.

Lovely job on the Deathwatch dread .

Cheers AoV. Still a bit to do yet

Sexy stuff

Those already look good, and they're not even done. Looking forward to the finished product!

What's your twitch name, I'm sure you've told us but I must have missed it. If like to check out you wip in progress

Psst! - it's JanuineVision. (Thought I'd chime in as Jan hasn't done so yet )

Got it in one TP

Just worth noting Jan- your last video was muted pretty heavily due to that music copyright bs...
Otherwise though, bloody mad painting skills mate!

Yeah - the dread is coming along beautifully. Nice work on the cultist as well, and an interesting quandry when I get to them - to paint them in something like the traditional purples, or something a bit more realistic like safety orange, perhaps with flouros.

Cheers folks. Yeah the copyright thing Is a nuisance as I need tunes or some noise when I paint. Was listening to classy 80/90s movie soundtracks while streaming and trying my best to NOT sing along. No one needs that!!! Will be live again tudeday or Wednesday at the latest. If you click follow it notifies you when I go live.

Primus is coming along. Still need to finish up on his weapons and a few other things.

Oooh. I like where that Primus is going.

Cheers AoV. Carrying on with the colour scheme I did for the stealers in Space Hulk but adding a few more fleshy tones in for the later generation hybrids. The closer to purestrain they are, the paler and more spectral thier skin. Am liking this new stealer stuff. Might even pick up a goliath at some point. Like I dont alreay have enough of a backlog in the cabinet - lol

You might want to have a wee look at this and then click on the link to watch the video.....plastic Sis......... surely not

Jesus christ this stream is the funniest thing I've ever seen

The Warhammer TV stream?

No your stream dude

Oh, over on twitch Eepppp. I swear a lot. Lol
I'll be on again today later this afternoon our time.

I never imagined you as a swearer, like you were the only irishman that didn't swear due to your adopted south korean pleasantry.

I was surprised and happy about it, I will subscribe if I figure out how twitch works

You ever use hangouts on the facebook groups? It's surprisingly helpful

Never use the hangouts. Twitch is easy bough once you get he hang of it. You follow a stream by clicking on the heart.
And yes. I swear A LOT especially when painting lol

The hangouts are good as you're kind of streaming together

Kinda the same with streams well.... only the streamer is on camera mind. Everyone else is just there in the chat feed

Primus is looking rad!

Cheers Tom. Hope To get him finished up later on today

That Primus paint scheme is gorgeous. Love the bone on brown with black/gold.

Cheers fella. Continuation of the scheme I came up with fro the Space Hulk 'stealers. So far so good

Primus is looking good, really like the blue for the inside of his cloak.

EDC

Dude I like that model! the skin tone is great and I love the way he looks like he's wearing a leather outfit or similar (at this stage anyway) the blue is a good colour choice, you should freehand a bunch of little Cultist icons as a pattern on there :-)

Cheers Nerdy. Really happy How the skin came out. Skin is not my strong point at all. Turquoise for the lining against the brown leather outside seemed right. I did a big cult symbol on the inside also in turquoise and then fit the legs which totally covered most of it up!!! Doh!! Just finished the leather coat now and well happy with it. Kinda dark worn beaten leather with orange brown highlights to look like wear and tear.

I really need to watch one of your streams

Hey there lecacty. I'm back on again later today about 4pm Seoul time. Think that's middle of the night stateside though lol.
Here's what I got done on the leather coat yesterday

Very authentic look to that, top notch stuff! All I reckon it could use is a few thin, sharp lines here and there to look like scuff marks.

Aye. Coat still has a few more bits to go. Darker filter and then I give it a few scuffs and grazes to look a bit more worn.

I agree with Para here. I assume these guys will be pretty ragged being genies and all, and leather gets pretty scratched up if not taken care of.

yup - totally. I'm rocking along with the fluff on this. These fellas are coming from a mining colony so their gear is gonna be scavanged, repurposed, well used et al. Most of the cultists troops are wearing old miner hazard gear like boilers suits and the like - well worn and torn. The primus and the magus well be a little less raggedy due to their positions but still....not exactly hive spire elites! On the primus I'll glaze in some deeper shadows and then add so more scuffs and scratches using a medium/high tone. Wanted to get the genral colour and worn highlights done first. The inside lining is still quite bright and the bloody cultist symbol I painted inside is near totally covered by his legs (doh) but I tone that brightness down some and dusty it all up with some weathering powder to match the base. Realy liking these cultists - considering ordering one of the goliaths too Either that of the admech starter box or a blackstar....hmmmmm

GC dude looks great, the leather coat looks like real leather and his GS arms look fantastic. Love what you did with his sword.

Cheers I_F. Got the coat pretty much finished this evening. Final details n weathering tomor and ell be ready for basing.

Great work so far on that Primus. The leather of the coat looks really nice.

Cheers Az. Coat pretty much done now. Hopefully get him totally finished tomoro. Feeling a bit gak today so nonpainting this evening

Primus finally done. Librarian is hot on his heels to be finished next

Splendid stuff!

Out of interest, how easy do you reckon it'd be to take the arms off that model? I feel he'd make the basis for an awesome Inquisitor with different head/arms.

Looks top notch there Jan. As I've said before I absolutely love the way you did that sword. He truly looks like he's spent too much time down in the mines. Well done.

Cheers lads.
@para - totally doable. The head is separate, the claw attaches at the elbow and the pair of arms could be sawed straight off at the armour line. Very easy conversion

Good to know! Might have to grab one at some point!

Cracking job on the Primus, I really like the natural colour scheme on the chitinous armour plates on the arm. Is he suffering from albinism or are you suggesting that he has not fully developed his Xenos nature?

My genestealers are even paler with a black olive carapace. The later generations are paler than humans but still have a little more 'colour' to them than the purestrains. I like the idea of almost albino like purestrians living in the dark on the hulks as they float through space and the warp for feth knows how long.

 Paradigm wrote:

Unfortunately, he's not sold separately. The Magus, Patriarch, Primus and Familiars are all on the same sprue. You may have to find one on eBay.

They are pretty easy to find on eBay, usually £6-8 odd.

Cool reasoning behind the colouration Jan, starved of natural light and living in the depths.

Still got another 11 of these buggers to do from space hulk and how ever many from overkill. Still you get the idea

Crackin' Genestealers there, Jan

Cheers AoV. Still got a lot of them to go but looking forward to having the whole boxed set finished ......eventually

They'll look amazing in a game of Space Hulk mate. The colour scheme reminds me of the lurkers from the The Descent.

Nice. Have already played a couple of missions with TPDC via FaceTime. Really happy how the termies and stealers looked on board. The darker schemes really fit in well with the board sections and the whole ambience of the game.

Lovely genestealers.

EDC

Genestealers look great as usual Jan. love your choice in colour scheme. I like the blue underside on the Primus as a spot colour and the metal work looks fantastic as we have come to expect from you!

Cheers a million guys. The above genestealers were done a while ago but thankfully I remembered to put the recipes into the app I use so the rest are following suit. I've only done the two cultists but enjoyed them much more than I expected. The DW:O boxed set really has turned out to one of GWs crowning releases. Think I'll do the mining laser fella next or maybe an abherrant.....

Awesome looking genestealers jan!

I like the one thats smashing up through the floor the most.

It has been an odd odd crappy couple of weeks. Have been lurking about but not many updates. Haven't really got a massive amount of stuff done. Between streaming on twitch, my hdd giving up game and seemingly now being dead plus RL, things have been a bit nutty. Anyways here's where we're at.
Tentative start on Ghast from the morticians, finally did something with the free slaughterpreist - he's now an ex-chrono gladiator cum Argo-flaggelant inquistional brute with electro whips. And built an onager with magnetized weapon loadouts. Just need to get some painting done. Will be streaming on twitch later today so hopefully make Some Progress on some stuff

Sorry to hear things have been a bit crazy Jan. Hopefully they pick up for ya soon. One the model front these three all look very interesting and fun. Can't wait to see what you do with them.

Love the conversion on the Khorne SLAUGHTERBLADE dude, exceptional and inspiring work.

Hope your painting mojo picks up Jan, you have a rarified talent.

Hopefully the hecticness has died down now and you will be able to get back into your usual swing, the stealers are astounding, I can't tell you how much I love all these muted natural colours on these guys. Sorry if you have already mentioned this, but which app do you use for your paint recipes? And do you have the one for these guys and their flesh to hand? I'd love to imitate it!

Cheeers folks. Hopefully get back into it soon. Still feeling a bit mush so will see how it goes.
The app I use is called PaintMyMinis. Really handy once you get the hang of it.
I try and put a tut on those stealers up at some point soon

Finally getting out of the funk and getting sone paint down. Got a chunk done on stream last night.

Nice to hear you're getting out of the funk. The DW stuff is looking great the alway you've approached the power armour in the above pic is just on another level.

Love the Slaughter priest conversion too, probably one if the best I've seen.

EDC

Cheers EDC. Painting on stream y'day afternoon was first time felt really good painting in a week or two so twas nice to get that buzz going again. very happy with how the balck armour is coming out. The back leg looks even better, its not quite so grey grey looking IRL - photos is a bit overexposed. Still you get the idea. may need one more glaze to make it super-smooth!
hoping to get the slaughterarcoflagelant painted up this weekend as he's my entry for the month comp....fingers crossed - lol

Getting there eh! Happy with how the face turned out for Soreluck! Cuppa coffee makes
A Pretty god background for it. Lol. Going live in a few minutes on twitch so hopefully get this fella finished up on stream. Hopefully. Depend on how many bday beers i have while painting

Love the scrollwork on the Venerable Dread, Soreluck (!!) is getting there too. Of all the brilliant miniatures in Overkill I still think he is my favourite.

Wow! Super impressed by that bit of scroll.

Cheers folks. I love doing the scrolls. Nearly finished sourlocks on stream. Tomoro he will be done!!!

So much awesomeness coming from that Dread. Fantastic work.

Looks like your faces have come on leaps and bounds, Jan. 잘한다!

Cheers Bottle. Pretty happy with that one. He's just about finished now. Photos soon

And done. Got Sourpuss here finished up live this morning. Damn but I love this DW sculpts

real nice work there jan! They are definitely super cool sculpts. Loving the overall grit and dust of it all, as well as the muted purple wax purity seals. Always great work dude,

Cheers
BB

Cheers BB. Hopefully get the dread finished up and it's onto the converted slaughterpriest next

Great work on both the dread and the DW IH model. I checked out part of your stream the other day and found it a little hard due to the muted audio track (and music a bit loud in the mix when not muted) but I was happy to hear how much you swear when at home.

Lol. Cheers Az. Yeah, still sorting out audio levels n that. Twitch mutes most music due to copywrite issues et al. Thx to my hdd throughly dying on me, all my own music is gone so having to use YouTube stuff for now.

You'd be a sour puss too if 90% of your body was replaced with bionics lol. Sorrlock gets hit by a Dark Eldar haemonculus weapon prior to joining the Deathwatch.

Great stuff as usual Januine!

Cheers AoV. Aye - Soreluck's fluff story was a bit of a gem. Fun fig to paint too. Gryx will be next but only after I've cleared what's on my desk now. Dunecrawler, Inq brute, morticians, librarian, DW ven dread et al!!! I'll get there ......eventually!!!

And finally onto the Inq brute. Ajax the strangler in a past life before he was turned into a chrono gladiator and then later further mutilated and lobotomised by the admech at the insistence of ordo machinum inquisition Danse. Hopefully get some good progress done on him later today on stream

Man your metals look so nice. If you don't mind my asking how did you achieve the look of his left arm and shoulder guard?

Cheers man. Three layers of drybrushing over black basecoat. Warplock bronze, followed by a more patchy one of gehenna' gold and finally a light drybrush of runefang. Once that's all totally dry - nice wash of nuln oil. That's basically it. I add in more stains, highlights, effects etc later on after everything else is done.

Amazing work on the DW guy's face. Exemplary work.

Really stoked to see how the brute turns out.

EDC

Awesome stuff! The brute is really cool, I hadn't seen that model before.

He's a conversion of the free slaughterpriest fig that came with the new white dwarf. Not really into AoS so decided to give him a lick of the grimdark

Finally got a start proper on Ajax. Armour tones put down and will be working on his skin on stream later today. Liking this guy a lot

That blue-grey armour looks great on him. Wonderful effect you have going.

I have to echo Inevitable_Faith on this one. That armor and fleshtone are a great pairing. The model looks superb so far.

Yep, that conversion is awesome mate!

Cheers folks glad you like big bad Ajax712. The more I work on him and as his backstory grows as I put paint down.......kinda beginning to feel sorry for the big lunk........even though he was a sumpborn serial killer!!!! Anywho, very very quiet on stream tonight but got a fair bit more done on Ajax. Worked on his skin for the most part and then made a start on the armour trim.

Amazing work Jan. I love what you did for his skin and the redness around his scars just cranks the quality up to 11.

Cheers I_F

Wasn't happy with the green gold trim to the armour so totally reworked it this evening. Made a start on his leathers too. Ajax712 is coming together

He does look better as he is now. On repeated glances the green was becoming distracting.

Cheers TP. Much happier with him now. Green just wasn't right for him

Good call on the green. The way he is now mutes him a but the whole model ties together much better now in my opinion.

Think he needs some Blood for the Blood God on that big claw

Decent bit done on Ajax on stream today. The boy has a base!! Getting there. Final details and a bit of weathering live tomorrow. Loved making, converting, painting and giving this guy a story.

He is incredible Januine. You should be very proud. I have said it numerous times but this is by far the best Slaughterpriest conversion I have ever seen. It needs to be sent in to White Dwarf

Definitely Blanchitsu material here. Nice work Jan! Get him in WD!

Cheers TP. I'll post him in the go Flickr group eventually. Finished figs are beginning to back up now waiting to be photo'd. Need to get my thumb :/

He looks amazing dude. That base is phenomenal. The white mask hanging off his back stands out as out of place but in a good way. It's like "That doesn't seem like something he would carry around? Why does he have it? What purpose does it serve?" it builds character through mystery, I like it.

It looks like WD are abandoning the Flickr group. Everything seems to be coming from Instagram. I've yet to decide if I am going to switch

Awesome stuff as always Jan, inspired conversion on the slaughterdude

Cheers fella. Proper photos later today......hopefully

And he's done! Well, I finished him up on twitch on Sunday but just got around to doing photos today despite being loaded with the flu (thx Mrs Jan ><
Anywho.......Here he is - Ajax712 - from vicious ganger/serial killer in the slums of Hive Cantarq to the bloodpits of the Red Spire and now a modified flesh tank in the service of the most Holy Inquisition under the direction of Inquisitor Valen Saint-Saëns, Ajax has never known much peace and probably never will

Very cool. One would be hard pressed to not believe that this wasn't how the model was intended to be all along.

Cheers muchly Whaley! Really enjoyed converting and painting this one. Now what else can I cut up and jam together..??!!

I'd love to see the Gorechosen box all converted like this guy. Keep the weapons in the same realm and you got a really cool, unique version of it. Like the Inquisitor that "recruited" Ajax decided that was a good spot to pick up others from.
https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Gorechosen-ENG

Very very tempting..........

To be honest, you could probably adapt the game itself into underhive gladiator pit fighting.

Ajax is looking mean!

Hey wow! I saw this on the eavier metal FB group! It's really impressive!

Plus Admech/Inquisitor/Heretek stuff is always right up my alley.

Good job!

That's what I'm saying. Just think, you will have a complete, stand alone game done in just a few more models.

Absolutely flawless conversion and painting Jan. I agree with the above that I'm hard pressed to imagine that this isn't the model as sculpted by GW. Great job, it's very inspiring.

Thank you all so much. This was a jump back into converting as I have done any since.....the arch magos I made a good while ago. Really enjoyed the whole thing on this bad boy. Lotta fun

Oh - I'm in the final 3 with Eldrad Ulthran over on the BoW best mini competion thing. Have a wee look and throw some scorted down if you can

https://4screens.net/e/581dfd16aaf5af0100bccd2d

And in the most scenic piece, I have two entries - The Nurse (or 'Creature' as they bizarely named her >< and also my Larkin vignette

https://4screens.net/e/580b1b8bfd0e4d010043469d

you need to give a score to each piece to carry on to the next one. Takes a few minutes but apparently is pretty deadlocked at the mo

Went and did some voting Jan. I scored all your entries as 1. They score by golf rules right? lowest wins? Anyways, glad I could do my part, thanks for bringing this to our attention, lots for good work in there.

Loves the colors, that blue and green really pop. And that skin is looking top shelf. Great job.

Mucho thx all Hopeing painting live again in a couple of hours......if I dont pass out from this stupid cold first!!!

Nice work on Ajax. I'm glad you decided against the green trim, it did look good, but I found it a bit reminiscent of Alpha Legion...

The finished article looks amazing though, love the base too.

EDC

Thx EDC. The seemed right in head and in theory but once down, it just bugged me. Wasn't the right look at all for who/what Ajax is.

And onto some classic Inq. An old metal acolyte. Love the fig but he just strikes me as a complete douche. That guy in the retinue that everybody hates and the inquisitor ends up offing himself!!

It's funny, I got the exact same impression from him as you do. He does seem like he'd be a self-entitled more pious than thou jerk. Great start on him so far though, he's looking good.

I know right?? The type of bullied little zealot that just feths everybody off!!!
Brazier done for now

Ypu can imagine him adjusting his goggles and saying "I think you'll find, Mr Inquisitor, that this is infact a xenos weapon of Eldar design..."

All the while the inquisitor is grinding his teeth.

Looking good so far, nice work on the fire.

EDC

Oh man EDC you're so right, he would be a total know-it-all little git that would just have to show it off anytime he could. He wouldn't even look at you while he talks, just stare at his book and scribble the odd thing down without making eye contact while he tells you stuff. Like he seriously doesn't have time for you and you're bothering him from important imperial business.

On a serious note: that fire looks awesome Jan, once again very impressed by the way you paint flames. The greyish not-black way you did his overcoat is amazing and the choice of not-so-white robes is very well considered.

As the inquisitor quietly pulls his bolt pistol out !!!
Cheers EDC. Gonna try something a little different and glaze those highlighted parts on his right side to show a little glow from the pyrolance brazier too

That blue is grand.

Blue??? On the slaughterpriest?

My wife tells me I must have meant grey, on the acolyte, it is awesome. Also, I apparently can't tell blue and grey apart

Ah coolio - cheers Heretic Tom. It started out as a black broiwn but highlighted it up like that with grey as I'm gonna apply some glazes to give some osl glow from the brazier.....hopefully!

I know its already been said, but that brazier is fantastic - seen lots of them painted but never one that was convincingly realistic - maybe its the black or something but yours is great.

Lovely stuff as always Jan

Many thx MerkBerk - love doing those flames. thats the second one i've ever done. first one was on the salamanders deathwatch guy. fun to do. going live in a mo on twitch to finish him up

And he's done

I liked him better before the osl, but I'm not an osl fan in general. Like do they only fight in dimly lit areas?

Wanted to try something different. Bit of an experiment as I rarely do any Osl effects. Really happy how he turned out but it wouldn't be something I'd do too much of or on too many figs. Don't think the underhives are that well lit usually

Underhives sure, but every gaming table I've played on has been an open field or cityscape. It would be rough to game with a ceiling I suppose.

Lol. True that. But then again I don't game. This retinue I'm working on now are more from the Inqumunda sphere than that of the battlefield though

Fantastic job as always Jan. I'm not always an OSL fan but I feel you made the right call here, the grimdark of the necromunda range very much benefit from OSL to add more colour to their usually dreary palette (especially if you go with the John Blanche style of painting).

He looks great and definitely looks up to the task of annoying everyone around him until his squad-mates perceive him as the mutant that must be purged.

Cheers I_F. I'm really happy with how he turned out. With him done we're onto another old school metal fella. A lexmechanic this time. I just love the sculpt of the face on this one. So much character

Is that an official GW model? I've never seen it before. If it is I must say that is probably one of the most realistic face sculpts they've ever done, I'm very impressed. You've done a great job painting it too. I remember seeing these guys in the artwork back when I first started playing and thinking "oh man what a gakky life, I don't think I could exist like that". Really makes me sad thinkin about those guys.

On a side note, is it just me or is he secretly flipping everyone off? Looks like he's got a bit of rebelliousness to him after all.

He's a GW fig alright - from back in the day. Another dakkite very kindly sent him to me. He's actually one of my favourite sculpts GW has done. He may be a simple wee fig but I think the pose and the face really show the character and life of these guys better than a lot of the bigger grander figures. Love him. Should get him finished up this weekend

Is he flipping us the bird? I see it too Faith, even before I read your comment.

The look on his face........he's flipping the bird. Right at that sanctimonious emperor bothering acolyte!!!

I'm glad i'm not the only one to notice it!

"Why yes Lord I can type out that entire textbook for you. You need it in 10 minutes? Of course, let me just start by hitting this. Button. Right. Here."

Bhawhahahahaha!!!

Great work with the acolyte and servitor

I will join the crowd, fantastic work sir, really fabulous. So many of the older models had real character.

Cheers again folks. Really am enjoying doing these older character figs for a wee change. Had a fun 3hr stream this morning and got some stuff done. Lexmechanic Ko'joh is just about done and finally got a base started on for the DW Ven Dread that's about ready. Yay for fundays Sundays

Been a while since I checked out the threads. Gorgeous sftuff man, very grimdark and beautifully painted. I'm a big fan!

Cheers very much Meph

The Lexmechanic is looking great, as always I love how you do your metals. That base is awesome, the Dread will look great on it.

Thx very much I_F. Base was piss easy to do but turned out pretty snazzy. Suits the big guy nicely.

Finally got around to photographing some stuff I finished recently(ish) and making my usual wee collages for them. 2 more lads join the swelling ranks of the Deathwatch - Ortan Cassius and Ennox Sorrlock....Come on down!!!





And of course someone for them to root out in from the dark and PURGE!!!!

Cassius is, as I believe the kids would not say, "bangin". Is it just the angle or are the eyes on the skull on his bolt pistol arm not coloured in?

The Primus' greatcoat is sublime, the blends, highlights and weathering are all exemplary.

As for your signature, are you a Doctor in your spare time ?

Both look amazing Jan. You've performed magic with the weathering on their legs and bases. I gotta ask how you did the eyes for your GSC guy? Their so black but still have some life in them, that's a look I've been trying to emulate for my Dark Eldar.

Lol. No. definitely not a doctor! I'm a teacher.
The eyes on the primus were just painted in black, speck of white and the some 'ardcoat

Beautiful paint jobs here Jan. Cassius and the Primus are the best of the bunch for me

Thanks AoV. Disappointed how Ennox photographed as he is one of my favourites (it's the tech priest in me ) and a fetch lot better IRL. ah well.

Ah thanks for confirming is for me Jan. I figured it was black and white with a gloss, that's what i'm missing. I think I may go and apply a little bit of ardcoat to my succubus tonight. Thanks man.

All good - always happy to help

Great stream this evening. Got this finished up. Just need to print a base fir him and he's done. Excise the shoddy photo!!

He looks great Jan. I really love the style in which you did his script.

I've been watching the thread but I haven't chimed in for a while. Some great stuff happening here-I especially like the Inquisition pieces. Very characterful models!

Cheers lads. Doing the Inq models one at a time inbetween all the other stuff on the desk. Really fun quick and easy figs to do along the way. DW dread is now done and based so photos of him soon. Finally started on the onager and next up for the Inq we move from metal to resin with a inqusitors personal Astropath

Excellent updates Januine.

They are all top notch!

Cheers,

CB

Nice work. I like the little splashes of blue amongst the black, grey and browns on all of them.

Thanks very much folks.

Awesome stuff Jan.

Love the source light on the douche inquisitorial henchman

Cheers Joe. Was away this weekend so no much done. Hopefully get back into the swing with Inq, DW and admech stuff

Lovely work, Jan. I really like the peach/orange tint of the lower lip and hadn't considered using that sort of colour before.

Have you thought of doing a full Blanchitsu/Ironsleet warband before?

Cheer Bottle. Oh I'm working on it!! Doing some of the old GW Inq metals and FW resins first, will make and add some of my own conversions down the line hopefully

Great stuff per usual jan!

Thanks Ustrello - my desk is a fething warzone at the mo - working on too many models n figs at the same time!!! Hopefully some new WiP snaps soon

You literally explained my work station its mostly paint pots at the moment

lol. Thankfully a while ago I transfered all my paints in dropper bottles and bought some racks. Otherwise.......................oh man, I dont even want to think about it!!!
Streaming seems to leave the desk in a mess as well as I'm not as tidy as trying to work faster and keep pulling stuff out but not putting it back

Awesome Sunday morning stream!!! Gryt is nearly done.

He looks amazing Jan, I love the way the yellow on his shoulder pad came out.

Cheers I_F. That yellow.....ohhhhh. That yellow. Took a while. Lol. Something 54mm coming next week

Nice work Jan, loving what you've done with the genestrealer cultist dude.

EDC

Cheers EDC. yeah - really need to do some more of those cultists. sweet figs. lot on the painting table at the mo. about to start an Inq54 model which is lush but bloody big!!

Oh and here's a coupla little fellas

Great work Jan. Love the way you painted up the bases. That rusted look is fantastic.

Cheeeers I_F

Cruncky crappy photo of the finished Gryt and his bits until I get the proper ones done

Your work is amazing, just wanted to slip in before the usual round of applause, bit difficult to just keep saying brilliant all the time, but it is.

Great work Jan, he looks fantastic.

*Usual round of applause*

EDC

mucho thanks you lovely buggers!!!!! Can't tell you how much fun I've had paintign these DW figs - oh - I just did - lol!!! Thx again

True Gryt, as great as ever. The servo skull and homing beacon have gotten a a far better paint job than they deserve as well.

So DW:O wise what have you got left to paint?

Great work Jan! If you get around to playing Deathwatch Overkill, the Frag Cannon is a truly nasty bit of kit (or awesome depending which side you pick lol)/

Yeah, your Gryt is on point

Cheers folks. @Thraxas - still have the White Scar, the Blood Raven, the other Ultra and the *cough cough spit* Space Wolf to do on the DW side and ALL the figs on the 'stealer side except the Primus and one 4th gen cultist!!!!

Lovely work on the Deathwatch Fist and his little mates there. Is he one of the ones from Overkill?

Yes. Same goes for the servo skull and teleport beacon.

Beginning to see some results with Eisenhorn. Awesome 5am stream this morning saw the leather coat and a few other bits getting tackled.

This is going to be good!

How are you finding painting the larger scale? Is it noticeably different?

Cheers Para. Putting a lot into this one and trying out a few new things to try and level up my painting. All the materials so far barring the nmm (my first attempt at it) trim to his inner coat, have been done with glazing. Works nicely for leather I think. This is my second 54mm model (first was The Nurse) and I really love the scale. There's a few differences - the bigger scale means any mistakes or sloppy technique shows up really glaringly and is harder to hide but it does allow for more character and effect to put in. The head/face is going to be interesting (read scary) to do as it has so much more detail and realism to it, even down to crows feet and wrinkles. I love the scale and the inq54 models I reckon are some of the best sculpts even to come out of GW. Eisenhorn is the first I have to do. After him I have 3 more of the range. I want more but they are costly buggers to find and buy these days. The rarer ones are going for over $100 each on eBay if you can find them :/

Awesome stuff dude, love the bases on drag dude and the servo skull.

Where they from? O are they made by you?

Cheers Joe. The bases are from the Tech Bases range from MicroArtsStudios. They make some of the best resin bases I've come across - huge range of different themes. I bought up enough to do the whole DW:O boxed set.

I have to say, the boots look great here.

Cheers Az. The 'work on new stuff' focus for this guy is improving how i paint leather. coming along

Gorgeous work Jan, really stunning so far. The picture quality from watching your stream vs. seeing it in photo is also very evident, the streams video doesn't quite capture the depth of tone that the photos do. You're doing a lovely job and I'm looking forward to watching you continue on stream, always makes for a very entertaining painting sessions.

Cheers I_F. I really need to sit down and feth about with the camera settign properly at some point. Especially from a colour point of view and that. As what I see on my screen is very differnt to what's in my hand at times. But anyway - glad you enjoyed. I'll (hopefully - mattress delivery withstanding o.O ) be back on stream again tomoro. 4pm Seoul time

Nice progress on Eisenhorn, I suspect this'll be something really special.

EDC

Cheers EDC - sure hope so - putting everything in it and a few new tricks besides!!!

Sos haven't been around much of late. Up to my proverbials with RL and streaming most days as well. Busy but happy!! Anywho - making some solid progress on Eisenhorn. Happy how the woolen texture of his great coat is working out and the brown leather inner coat as well finally made a start on a death jester too for a December giveaway. Phew!!!!

Damn that is nice looking so far! The cape is very nice so far

Nice progress on Eisenhorn, he's looking really cool.

EDC

Excellent work, Jan Will you be pinning Eisenhorn when you put him together? I always had issues with the Inquisitor models, as they had some pretty hefty bits.

I like your Death Jester's coat too

Great work Jan, love the move to the bigger scale but that Death Jester coat is beautiful.

How does streaming work? I have no real idea about it, do you know how many viewers you have, can you interact with them?

Cheers folks. Really am having a blast with Eisenhorn and yes there'll be a large pin when I join the upper and lower body pieces. Really need to when ur dealing with that much white metal. Heavy as.
@Thraxas - streaming is basically is me painting live with a webcam (well, 2 cams actually) there's a chat panel on the screen as well so viewers can chat away with each other and me via IM. I can see how many viewers there are and read the chat so i can answer questions and interact with viewers etc. pop by and have a look sometime. My channel is at www.twitch.tv/januinevision - if click ' follow' and notify there, you get a message whenever I go live. Simple

great work on all these models jan. i especially like the light blue cloak. im laughing my butt off right now because i saw on a model a page back or so, with a gem...and it made me realize, as ive just started painting some eldar, that ive been painting the gems on them upside down lol wondering why it felt strange since painting those gems is something i havent done in years....oh well, thanks for showing me the light Anyways, great stuff carry on

Bebop

Cheers bebop

He's coming along very nicely indeed! What techniques are you using for that texture on the coat?

Cheers Para. For once I coudlnt really find anything useful on the Intermacwebberies so I just made somethign up. Inbetween every 3 or 4 glazes of dark grey, I lightly sponge on 3 differnt shades grey from medium light to super light then glaze over again to smooth the texture in a little. I only really sponge onto the areas of big highlight as eventually all the darkker recessed areas with but glazed back to just about black. Happy how its coming out

Love that Eisenhower figure, can't wait to see him finished.

Cheers Tom - he's coming along. Still a fair ways to go but getting there

I'm just pumped it's almost Titan time. Have a bunch of them bouncing around Dakka, time to join in.

Ordered the magnets today!!!! Titan arrives in 8 days!!!!

WOOOO! Can not wait to see that! What is it, a Warhound?

Super excited as well, we will be titan buddies!

More marble on the Titan Jan? :p

And the Inq54 fig is coming along excellently!

marbble on the warhound titan...............hmmmmmm. maybe........hmmmmm

You know what they say, a titan is like a prime cut of hanu beef. The more marbling the better

lol - very good Bottle!!

T -6 days
In the interim, did a quick dry fit of the two main parts of Eisenhorn. Fella is coming together! Next up is all the freehand embroidery on the inner lining of his great coat.

Eisenhorn looks good so far! Also, are you losing any sleep over anticipation of getting your Titan?

Nah!!!! Did just order all the nessessary supplies for the build though. Just need to find the stuff for the base now

Yo dawg I heard you like coats so I gave you some coats to wear over your coats while you rock out in a coat.

All joking aside he's looking fantastic so far, very nice work Jan.

Cheers I_F - hes getting there!

Eisen~head!!!

wow he's looking great! love it

Cheers Guildenstern. Photos are a bit washed out but am really happy how its coming along. Rereading the books at the mo and getting right into to it. Lotta of hours down and a fair few more to go. Think he's taken me for about 25 hours so far. With all the freehand still to do and his force staff.....probably another 10 or so.....maybe - lol

Looking stunning bud, really beautiful work.

Cheers Cam

Outstanding work on the head. Great work.

EDC

Wow amazing job on the head and the subtle layer on the bottom lip is awesome

Thx Ustrello. Deleighted how it came out. Freehand next o.O

Fantastic detail work, love it!

Finally made a wee start on the coat's lining embroidery. Love me some freehand

Looking good. The freehand is coming along well, that model is another I really like and watching you work on him is really entertaining

How do you hold your hands steady enough to do all that tiny detail on that coat? That is my biggest hurdle in my own freehand skill.

He cheats the actual model is three feet tall!!

Wonderful work sir, inspiring as usual.

Merry Christmas

It is a real treat to see one of these old =][= models getting such a lovely paintjob.

Excellent work on the freehand on the cloak.

EDC

Many thx All. I really like freehand so nice new #1 brush and off I go. Have a wonderful Christmas everyone

You too mate - and Eisenhorn is coming along very bloody nicely!

Cheers very much Az

Eisenhorn's bits! Just need to finish up the shaft of the force staff

great work on the marbling!

Cheers Bebop. Bloody Ravenor and his green marble scroll tubes >< Next time Gideon, use cardboard tubes like the rest of us!!

Exquisite little details.

Cheers. CAses done.

Insane attention to detail even for you! I love it!

Cheers Para. This has been the awesome fun project. Reading along the Eisenhorn trilogy as I paint, picking up little details n fluff from the books to include in the paint job. Have spent an inordinate amount of time on ol' Gregor but damn it's been worth it.

Bringing stuff seen in the books to life would be pretty fun. Eisenhorn's bits look pretty good so far, so I've got high hopes for how the finished model will look when you're done.

Cheers Zerg. I've actually really like doing all the little bits of equipment. I just need to finish up the embroidery on the inside of his coat adn then it'll be assembly time Need to get him finished soon as I have a big commission coming in soon. Well, its just one figure but its an important one and paying handsomly so need to focus fully on it.

Really impressive Jan

Can't wait to see the finished thing.

Cheers Joe. He's getting there. Just finished the lining embroidery

Starting. To. Come. Together.

OK that's just STUNNING!! Beautiful work.

Looks awesome dude. Excellent work on the marbling.

EDC

Cheers muchly folks

Really awesome stuff so far, Jan. Love the embroidered pattern on the inside of the coat.

Stunning freehand. Just found your links to vids. Hoping to learn something, thans

Thx all. He's getting close now. Have attached most of his extra bits now. Wip photos are up over on my instagram (januinevision). Just hands and sword to do now. Oh and better start thinking about a base!!!

Busy as buggery these days but the paint has continued to flow and finally took a day to break out the lightbox and camera and get some snaps done of stuff I've finished. So get we go!

Finally got the Lexicanium from Space Hulk done


Which means that superfinally all the space hulk termies are done!!!



Deathwatch -Rodricus Grytt - this guy rocks. Wicked cannon and love that style of helm



From the death masque box - the venerable nihilus. Black shield deathwatch dread. Though I couldn't resist adding a few clues in as hints to his true and possible heritage



Of course a few handy bits to have around!



The inquisiton - a couple of oldies. First - one of my favourite GW figs of all time. The lexmechanic who I now count as an inquisitor's savant. Adore this mini which was a very kind gift from a great dakkite.



Possibly the most annoying look wee git ever to forced upon some unsuspecting inquisitor. This guy just screams 'kick me'!!!



More soon. Hope y'like em

Superb stuff, it's great seeing a whole lot together like that!

Amazing stuff Jan, it was a pleasure getting to watch you paint a lot of these guys too. I can't stop wondering who the lexmechanic is flipping off though, once I saw that finger, what has been seen cannot be unseen. To be honest he's probably flipping the bird to the Explicator. Great stuff dude, can't wait to see more.

Beautiful showcase there, Jan. I especially like the Fire Hawks Dreadnought who escaped the fate of his brethren and Grytt, who makes me want to shove the fantasy stuff I've been working on aside to work on my own Deathwatch.

Nice Jan! Seeing all the termies together they look so incredibly cool.

Cheers one and all. They were all so much fun to work on. Even that little gimp Réttu Tawt - his osl was a bit of an experiment after watching slowfuse do something similar with a KD model over on twitch.
I just love the expression on the lexmechanic - imho one of the most characterful figs from GW.
More stuff coming soon as I finish up the enginseer and the Titan crew plus Jetek Suburai (sp). Did a tutorial on blacks for him and the glaze I made worked so well I ended up bottling the excess. Lol

Haha, just noticed the shouty acolyte's name. Very good.
