Great to see all of you guys and your gangs finally join the posting!! Welcome to dakka

Hey Migs, yeah this is everyone except the Tau influenced Roggue Trader. He´s got some nice models as well, amongst them some FW tau, and an ANCIENT imperial assain type guy, gooood stuff.

Still working on several things here, but not picture-worthy just yet.

Have to add a big welcome to even more members of your group! Good to see more gangs around Dakka ^_-.

Thanks, I feel very welcome. ^^

Xanthos, when will you tell us what the next step in the story is? Don't we have about two players in each country at the moment? Let's keep going!

That´s a good thought, I´ve actually been speaking with some of our other players, and they have said the same thing.
So expect fluff mails including the next scenario as soon as I get the time to finish it.
I need to change it slightly, since you will be without arbitrators.
As far as my modeling goes, everything is on hold at the moment, due to school+work. :S

Right, Wasn´t going to post this yet, but since it may be a week at least until any more happens to it, here´s where the repressor stands now. I´ve done some GS work on the hull extension, and I´ve added firing slits, a bit different in design than the FW ones, so what do you think?

I´m thinking that this way, they remain closed until they´re needed, and then you slide them open, fire and close again. There is a lot of GS work to do yet, of course.

Great work Xanthos.

I really like the firing-slits that you have made. It's really beginning to look like a tank/transport worthy of the mighty Inquisition.

What kind of colours have you thought about, for this wonderful piece of Tech?

Keep 'em coming!!

Thanks a lot, we tries, we tries.

I just wanted to do something a bit more WW1-esque, a bit more gothic than the FW original.

I´ve been thinking greys, keeping it in a color scheme that is similar to my land speeder transport. That way they´ll work together, or alone.

So light grey base, dark grey detail work, and probably a lot of funny little detail work.

Maybe some of those good old yellow and black warning stripes as well.
I'm really looking forward to get to see it when it is completely done.

Hey all, it´s update time in =I=Munda land once more!

I´ve been extremely busy through January, but due to a weeks holiday I now present the finished Inquisitor Sigismund, with servoskull companion and everything!

I ended up doing some weird white lightning effects on his sword. I´m not entirely happy with how it looks in these pics, but it´s time to move on to new things.

Amongst these new things are a few additions to the Navy Armsmen. A breaching crew, consisting of three guys so far, to support my first void born character in ship-to-ship combat.
The first of these guys is finished as far as modeling goes, will start on the paint tonight. He´s the breacher, so he´s wielding a chainfist, with a built in handflamer unit. His job is to create openings for the team, and flushthem with flames before they enter.

He´s not carrying any other weapons just now, since he is more of a worker than a soldier. His colors will be classic construction yellows and greys.

Ah well, enough of me waxing lyrical, here are the piccies!

I like the breach guy, his body armor is the regular IG armor but that piece below the breast, what is that, did you build that or rip it off a kit or something?

It makes the armor look more like storm trooper armor..

That´s actually grey stuff, put it on there to break away from the look of the original armor.

I got some paint on him yesterday, will put pictures up later.

next up are the two guys that are next through the breach, a heavy flamer guy and a guy with a shotgun.

Okay then, I got some painting done yesterday and today. Here is the breacher guy as he stands now. I´ve gone with an industrial theme for him, so lots of yellow and such. He still needs weathering, paint chips, scorch marks and markings on the armored bits, but main painting is pretty much done.

I also took the chance to try a method I´ve never used before, and went for a reflection on his visor, in graded blues and browns. I feel that it came out okay, but it´s something I still need to work on.

Pictures for the masses!

I love the helmet

Lovely work - the new guy reminds me of a G.I.JOE character in a nice way. I like the visor effect too, but maybe the reflection should look more urban??

Hey, thanks migs, he does seem a bit "G.I. Joe!", now that you mention it. He will be properly dunked in the full horror of weathering and chipping, to bring him into the 40k universe though.

As for the visor, I realised even as I was doing it, that the motif was somewhat idyllic. I may go back and change it for something darker and possibly add more reds to the air part, but it was great fun to do.

For the record, it´s a gradual lightening of vallejo black brown, to skull white for the ground, and vallejo ultramarine to skull white for the sky part.
About seven steps for each part, on a bit that´s basically as large as a shoulder pad. Good fun!

Edit: Thanks for the compliment Aunshova. The helmet really is the biggest experimental bit with this guy. That and some pretty fiddly GS work.

Oooo.

Um not sure on the yellow but still good!

cool mask, turned out very well, but yeah the yellow...

SWEET GOOGLY MOOGLY! While I'm not a fan of the yellow and red like that, his visor is frickin' amazing!

That looks ace! Have you thought about using a gloss varnish on the visor? It might just give it a bit more kick to it!

Hey all, thanks for the positive comments! Seems that people mostly like the visor, and are iffy on the yellow. Well I´ve been working on the yellow today, and it´s gotten alot better I feel.

I can tell you that the visor was an absolute blast to paint, and I definately want to do more stuff like that. The progressive lightening is way easier than it looks, and the vallejo colors lend them selves well to the technique since they seem to be slower drying than GW.

I´ve also been hard at work putting final touches on the next two guys for the gang, and I feel that I´m close to finished with their modeling work.

No pictures tonight, the bleeping cable has gone awol and I´m too tired to search for it right now.. Hopefully it shall reappear in the light of day.

Yellow is a tricky one to go with. I think the shade in the picture you have posted doesn't fit with the rest of your group or their tone and style. It is very reminiscent of a GI Joe character.

In order to get it to work with the tones and shades of the rest of the group I think you either need to lighten it to an almost white yellow, or darken it down (possibly mixing in some charadon granite and a little light grey). Either of those should produce a more "gritty" and realistic tone.

Gotta agree with all the others, the visor looks wicked.

Why is he squating on a broken wall?

Keep up the good work.

Cheers,

Dante

I think it's the remainder of a door he just blew up

Hey everyone, thanks for all the kind words about the visor. Good to see that hard work pays off. The yellow is indeed tricky. This guy will be the only one in the group with the yellow, but I´ve been working on getting him grittier and more 40K´ish. Still needs something, but I think he´s getting there...

If he ends up being too far from the style of the group he may end up being a civilian contractor for fluffyness. We´ll see.

@CMDante: He´s not actually astride it, he´s stepping through it, after cutting a hole in it.

In other news, the next two guys are now almost done as far as modeling is concerned, the shotgun guy just needs some shells on the side of the gun, and the flamer operator needs to get his helmet and airsupply attached.

And also, I have located the cable for my camera, yay! So piccies are here!

Xan - you are the master of the Kroot Shoulder Pad! Love the new models. Can't wait to see with with some paint on 'em!

That visor is tight- awesome work!

These are great conversions , you've just given me tons of ideas to steal!

Thanks a lot for the kind words guys.

@Death by Monkeys: Painting will begin tonight, if I can get them primed..

@Karmaiko: Glad you like it

@Shattered Soul: Thanks a lot! Steal away, and show us what you make of it

Well i take back what i said about the yellow now!

Love your naval armsmen, bit of a pet project of mine - I may have to steal some of your ideas. Dejligt!
