Nice paint job!

Simply epic!

Stunning paintjob, and great work getting the terminator legs to look less like terminator legs

Thanks guys, glad you liked it.

I got another techpriest and an inquisitorial acolyte on the paintingbench right now, got to get my butt off the wagon and lay down the finishing touches on the Vindicare assassin I converted a long time ago, I mean.. it is 70% done, just needs a final hichlight of the black and the leather stuff needs doing.. 20 mins tops..

awespme

Well, I am home nursing a nasty cold. Not much more to do than drinking hot tea and paint.


So: Inquisitorial Acolyte (interrogator) with chainsword, boltpistol, shotgun and power armor.
I thought I'd go in a different direction here, going with a deep green as the main hue, I am a bit unsure what to do with the cloth though, cream would stand out quite a lot against the green on the sleeves and loincloth but it would be very similar to the purityseals. The same with red, I think it would clash too much. The detail will be mostly picked out in gold, I was thinking a few inquisitorial rosettes and some vines with leaves as free-hand here and there, should off-set the green quite nicely. Suggestions are welcome.

Amazing blue/green there! I think a cream would work well enough, as would a deep red.

I second cream robes, they would contrast well with the armor. How does he go for scale vs a marine or a guardsmen?

Love the Unseen Observer Lovely build and a great colour scheme to complement it, plus an interesting base. Good job!

Acolyte looks good so far. I don't see cream cloth being an issue - squiggles and an extra wash or two on the purity seals should be enough to differentiate them.
For something a bit different though you could maybe try a very rich, dark purple.

Wow there's a lot more in this log then there is over on Ammobunker.

I'm a fan of what you have going on here. Your models are great, and the bases are superb.

I like the walker you have and I can't wait to see it finished.

What about a darker purple for the cloth? He is looking good so far.

Thanks guys!

@Archer: The legs and torso are from the BA Death Company kit, so he is about the size of a "regular" marine, so.. just a few mm's taller than a guardsman, using scout arms and head brings down the bulk a bit.

@Fireangel: Yeah, I'll try to keep the thread in the ammobunker more on point, the stuff here on Dakka is more of a "stream of thought"-thing, thus all the dead ends, stop-starts and remodeling.

I'll look into the purple idea. Might pan out.

Those marines are awesome! Love the colors and poses.

Such bases, anything could happen!

IT LIVES!!!!

Very intriguing, I'm excited to see what goes on them you tease.

Wow those are cool bases.

Wow, all the blogs are being resurrected. Those bases look great. Can't wait to see what comes of them.

Tease Not giving us any clues?

Brilliant stuff is he mean't to look like an Alpha Legion Initiate?

Easy makes the the sauce, no saucy spoilers... yet.

First you throw some paint (would be easier if I remembered that I was out of yellow and didn't have to improvise with ochre) on the undercarrige...




Then on the hood and plop it down. Finished! (more or less...)

Oh wow did you really just cut the base out to put that in there?

Very nice! Happy to see you're returning to this project.

Wow, great idea. That idea will be stolen.

I have to say though, your background is very distracting. I think I spent as much time looking at the images under the base then the base itself.

Looking very nice. Really great idea on those bases to be multi part. Got to obviously now match the same level as awesome on the base as the base itself is.

Hehe, well it's not that hard, just cut it up, build up some kind of floor
with styrene sheet and full the void with stuff.

As for matching a model with the base... Well, let's just say that I feel
confident that I have outdone myself and kicked things up a notch with
this project.
I have finished the large surfaces on the model in question and well..
I did have a small "wow - I really pulled it off" - moment.. I don't have those very often.
