Thanks for the tips Cam, I used to put brown under gold, hadn't thought of using yellow and especially not purple! makes sense tho.

Thanks Meer_Cat.

Been working on my Word Bearers terminators, just finished the black shading and adding the non-red metallics before I can add a few washes and start putting decals on. I forgot about the power weapons ... which might be better painted as plain metal, I would paint them green to match their eye lenses or a blue but I think a plain metal might be better.



Also I thought people may like to see what those mortar team bases look like, so here:



all my latest genswick are ready to paint so hopefully I'll be getting started on those ones the above is finished.

Word Bearer Terminators are progressing nicely. I'm using the decals that came with the betrayal at calth box set and with a sharp blade -and sharper eyes- they are working nicely on these models.



With luck I'll get the decals sealed over and sponge chipping tonight, then I'll be able to get them all sealed with gloss tomorrow, the heavy weapon options are magnetised, because why not. Really like these models, one thing I messed up was sticking the top bit of the armour down, my superglue must be on the way out as i'm getting that white deposit around where it's used, shame as I've still got half the bottle.

Another day, another army. Inquisition this time...

For fun I've been throwing together a bunch of 41 Power Level armies, to try out different factions to see what I can make, so I thought I might try and make a small force from bits, un-used or unfinished models that I already have, the list is highly un-competitive and has virtually no decent ranged firepower apart from a single chimera, but would be fun in a zone mortalis scenario.

the list is something like:

Inquisitor: Inferno pistol & force sword
Primaris Psyker: stave
4 Acolytes: power maul, flamer
6 Acolytes: 4 bolters, 2 plasmaguns
6 Acolytes: BP + power sword, 2 meltaguns, 3 bolters
6 Acolytes: flamer, 2 bolters, meltagun, plasma pistol
4 Death Cult Assassins
3 Arco-flagellants (yay I have to make one more!)
5 Scions: plasma pistol, 2 hot-shot volley guns
chimera: heavy flamer + heavy bolter (party bus)

Models I've gathered so far:

models left to make:


A few bits left to make, and I should have the last bits that I need to finish them soonish, just lots of greenstuff to use after.

Nice work matey !
Interested to see what you do with the inquisitor force as coincidently I am glueing odds and sods and randomness together with the same idea !

It's good fun isn't it!

Thought I'd try thinking up a paint scheme for the troopers in the Inquisition force; since I've had them around fro so long I figured it was a bout time to dream up a set of colours to try painting them up with.



Metallic armour, just to be different. quartered red and bone, both colours that have been used extensively with the existing models. I'm not sure about the sash ... I think if there was a touch of green to the blue it would look better, I was using a colour pallet but seems I messed up, but this is just a test so its a bit rushed. Still I like the red and bone so I think I'll keep that, as for the armour it was either that or a gloss black, but I'm fed up of shading black so much since I already have 2 armies that use a sizeable amount of black shading. The mask, shoes belts etc will probably be done in a brown leather... or maybe black. With a lime green spot colour on lens and wrist screen bits.

Link to the palette that I'm sort of going for: http://paletton.com/#uid=35B0u0kvunZhStBqBsoF0jWQ6eP

I'll try and get the army (apart from the psyker) on matching bases.

After gloss varnishing those terminators I realised I'd forgotten one, crucial, step ... the airbrushing of dirt around the lower leg armour. Damn. Since I'd already started getting oil on them I'll have to wait for that to dry and have been matt varnished to do it. Usually the correct order would be to have finished the decals & sponge weathering, then to apply the dirt layer, seal everything with gloss and then oil over, giving depth to recesses and visible streaks etc. Oh well, see how this goes and try and remember next time.

Nice work.
I like the light blue. Although maybe not for the whole army, just for special members to make them stand out (for ease of spotting by snipers).

Maybe a darker colour/tone for the rank 'n' file troops.

Mortar squad is done as much as I can be bothered to do atm.



There is only 2 maybe 3 models with sashes like that. It was just a test model anyway so I'll probably paint over it red.

Thank you all.

Had a bit of a painting session on the inquisitorial group. Usually when I paint models in batches I do much smaller ones than this.



Most of the red is finished, missed some purity seals but I could paint those green. Moving onto the cream clothing & parchments next, then work on the metallics, flesh and blacks. I've also done about half the bases with the others needing assorted rubble sticking on.

Seems the yellow on my greenstuff has developed a "skin" probably because of being stored in a container with the blue part for a year hardly touched.


Airbrush is out of action until I buy a new compressor, so there is a pile of models that will have to remain untouched until I get around to forking out for a new one (which is why I'm painting the above models since their scheme doesn't use it, unlike the 'Fists and 'Bearers).

The shopping list grows...

The assassins are coming along. I'm trying to get them finished first



The rest of the troops are coming along as well. Roughly all of them are at about this level:



I've given the metal surfaces a wash to darken them, I wasn't happy with the way the base layer turned out so I'm hoping that another layer on top of this (sparing the recesses) will make up for that, then I can shade up through the metallics to nice & shiny.

Indeed she is Whalemusic, the look will become more pronounced once i'm done highlighting the black on the models.

I suck at shading metallic silver.

Assassins are done-ish, nearly done with the first 4 bodyguard acolytes.




There is one or two bits on the assassins that I'm not happy with or need to be painted in another colour, but I'll leave that until I'm done with the other models.




I might change the colour on the armour trims, the black isn't highlighted on them as I might paint bronze over it. there are some other bits as well that I'm leaving for the time being until I've picked what to paint them. I might go for a different shade of blue to counter the stone shade, as I've got the green to counter the red. The plasmagun may change to that blue along with some black ribbons that are around the knees of some of the models plus bits I've missed.

Next 5 are on my desk awaiting paint, so I'm getting started on the red scorpions, I've built and undercoated a razorback and dreadnought, there's 10 tactical marines and a drop pod to build next, think I've sorted out what units that I'll be using.

Thanks all.

Thanks graven, I don't think its silly, the bases are the bits that I enjoy most! So much so I'm currently making a batch of 104 more.

@ Big H: well its a bit of both, but 99% the lighting, just silver paint layered in a rubbish approximation of how they would be painted with NMM.

@ Desubot: It's a few layers of various mixes of 4 colours, which are: VMA metallic gungrey & steel, VMC Black and Vallejo metallic medium. The black being applied as light glazes at a few points.


Just spent 2 hours highlighting black on 5 models ... ugh ... not quite done then 6 more after that. Painting these lot to a high quality has kinda gone out the window with the shiny metallic attempt.

Actually got some painting done on the HH armies.

OK so it's only 4 heavy bolters for my Fists and the apothecary for the Word Bearers. But I've been finding the idea of painting such large areas of black a little daunting for a while, until I just sat down for a few evenings and just forced my way through it, actually I complain about black but the white on the apothecary was probably more tedious.

Anyway so these 5 models are at the pre-chipping stage, having just got the decals on them now.


Looking at them now the hands on the heavy bolters really need a bit more paint, they look awful compared to the airbrushed yellow, that said all the yellow looks flat and messy atm.



In addition to the above I've had a bash at making a graviton chainfist for my contemptors...


... I'm planning on making a pair of these to go with all my other contemptor weapons to give me a range of weapons to arm my 3 contemptors two of which are yellow, the other red. All the weapons are magnetised and will be painted black, since it matches both legions. I'd like to get on to finishing painting those 3 after I get the word bearer veteran squad that is on my desk painted up.

BTW: You see those little cylindrical things sticking out of the grav gun bits, well they are cast on the tinyest little bit of flimsy resin, and like nothing more than to break off as soon as you look away, like the one in the bottom of the image. I may just remove them and either pin them back on or make my own with brass rod/tube.

Other than that I'm getting started on the build stage of my small red scorpion force, Its basically:

captain
5 sternguard in drop pod
5 tacticals in razorback
dreadnought
5 assault marines

I've got all of that bar the assault marines but I'll leave those until last, if assembling the drop pod doesn't kill me first. Have to say I do like the new tactical marine box, nice detailing.


Hope you are all well.
