The chaplain looks fantastic Graven, I really like the way you did the crozius it has a nice warm depth compared to the cold of the armour.

Ah, I see you lot are as conflicted on the wings as I! What I think I'm going to do is add some marbling to them.
@ GiraffeX: yay! So glad you mentioned the crozius, I was convinced that it was a mistake so that is a relief for it to get a "Like", as it were.

I have found most of a box of DC in bits in the old glory box, so expect some builds to follow (although they won't be jumpers at this stage, as that would mean finding a box of sanguinary guard to dissect).
November madness continues with much cake and #1's birthday. I'll post when and what I can!

That's coming along very nicely graven. The gold and chains really work well with the green of the jade. Skull on the jump pack is very cool too. Happy Birthday wishes to #1!

Agreed with GIts on all...
the Skull definitely makes the back of the model pop more, nice work. Marbling on the wings eh? Looking forward to it...
Happy Birthday #1!

All I mean by that is adding some lighter veins, though I'm not sure whether that really shows up in the photos. Speaking of which:
Not really sure on what a decent DC build is, especially as allies. Any ideas? I'm also wondering whether to use gk teleporter packs as these Blink

Hmmm, think i can see some lighter areas on the feathers (am i right?), but if im honest i would highlight it up even further. I know im the one that posted the marble pic, but that effectively is 'highlighted' (naturally) all the way up to white and the contrast is so beautiful to me....Dont get me wrong though, the wings look excellent, and the subtle variations of the deep green sing to me (im sleep deprived, dont judge me....  ) Saying that, i really like where you have gone with the PF, looking lighter than even the highlighted areas really makes it look good, like it gets lighter the more it gets used... EDIT: cant comment on list building im afraid, might be a thread for WH40k Tactics i guess....sorry.

It is indeed mostly the feathers that have had attention; maybe better pics, done in the light box, will help. I shall try to rectify.

The censer? i cant see anything wrong with it, it looks great! Could do with being a bit shinier (ironic considering the photo-shine problems with the rest of the armour.... ) but the colour is spot on...
No problem my friend

Chappy looks sweet, but only noticed the extra work on the wings as you'd mentioned it - I'm guessing that's just a pic issue though.

There's always room in the baggae allotment for miniatures. And if not, plenty of us can host a game and provide a spare army or two for folks on their holidays.
If you're ever in Scotland, come see us at Glasgow Gaming Group. Give us enough notice and someone wil bring in an army for you.

Thanks for the kind words rm2020 -good to cya again!

@dee:rasp:
@briancj - make it over here, you'll be sure of game and a half, sunshine
Nothing to report on the p&m front. Zip. Nada. Ze-ro. Birthday week for #1, plus other cakes to pay for their Xmas, plus crazy workload, makes graven a dull boy. Although I've been up to something in the dcm forum, but hey, that's like secret stuff
Technically, I suppose, I have been building - avengers Lego from us, Kreo Optimus vs Megatron from my folks, with the lil dude. My bro-in-law also got him a nerf longshot, which is bigger than he is
And there was cake:
Not sure why it's upside-down...
And bonus points if you can guess what this one will be by the weekend:
It's, like, a cake that's still on sprue...
