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.
