congratulations the black suits the model. and nice details, how you going to paint the base?

I am going to put him on a 40mm, and I am thinking of making look like marble flooring, or something of that sort. I am going to make a small display base for the whole warband, so that will be another factor I will deal with.

Hi

Really impressive sword. I am jealous of your black armour....very nice. The face in the hood looks great too.

The only thing I would change is the colour of the shuiken pistol, to me it looks like an extension of his arm...not a xenos weapon.

Anyway I am excited to see what you have in store for the rest of the warband.

Thanks for sharing

Peter

I am happy to hear another compliment on the sword, it is the only part of the model I am not pleased with. I feel I could have made the blending a lot smoother. But I will put it to rest. I agree with the pistol comment. I am going to be painting the Eldar in a Ulthwe scheme so I painted the pistol that way. That now seemed a bad idea, I should have reversed the colors. made the gun bone with a black barrel. I might change it, that is an easy fix.

As for the rest of the warband, .... I will have pics up soon. I am almost finished with the Quarter master so that should be up in a couple days.

I dig the inquisitor.

I just finished my Veteran Guard Quarter Master. This is the first of the henchmen for my warband. Like the Inquisitor, I haven't done the base yet. I have decided to paint the bases with the display base to keep all of them coherent. I will transfer all the models to the completed bases when I finish the display base. I am going to touch up the Inquisitor a bit (I want to add a few more details to him) then it is on to the other henchmen !!! ......








I hope you all like the pics, I will post more soon .....

I was right to be excited.

That is effective. I really like him, the colours really are spot on. The back pack it very interesting...nice use of the grenade launcher ammo drum but for the life of me I cannot work out what you've used for the top half.

As for the Inquisitors gun....it is an easy fix

Keep it up I'm enjoying this.

Oh btw what is the Eldar henchman's motivation for working with your Inquisitor?

Peter

The painted pics are great. This is excelent stuff. I think the guardmans knife is beautiful.

Thats some lovely painting there!

Might i suggest a gloss (with varnish or PVA or something) of the visor? It should reinforce the effect a bit more.

Behind th Mask wrote:Thank you for that compliment !!! I am a little disappointed on how the sword came out, but I am a perfectionist so nothing is ever good enough in my eyes. You just put that subject to rest for me, so thank you.

If you want the Etches to look less then why not try a blue wash over?

Also Amazing model my friend, looks great in all aspects.

Wow , i can see you have a distintice style, to your work, the blacks are very black and the colours still pop, your painting si wonderfully detailed, without being ,washy, if get what i mean. the style reminds me of a cartoon almost quite graphical, and VERY clean!!
and the design is great also, loving the sci fi visor, . jealous of your painting skills ;-(

Very, very nice work!
I love the guardsman, he just screams "packrat" to me - like he picks up and keeps damn near everything, because it might be useful in future

Keep up the amazing work!

S_p

sweet gs, makes the most beautiful stuff....
carry on like that

i have to admit i went into this thread not expecting much.... Holy Hell was i wrong! that is some of the most amazing greenstuffing i have ever seen! and the painting is awesome it looks like they were pulled straight out of a comic book! A+ keep it up!

Thanks for all of the feedback guys .... it keeps me motivated .

PDH: The top half of the pack is green stuff, I just sculpted it on. As for the motivation for the Eldar, I don't have all the details worked out yet, but I am going back to the Eye of Terror campaign for this one. I was thinking that during the Ulthwe assistance to the Imperium, this Inquisitor worked closely with the seer councils. One Farseer felt that he showed an unusually high psychic potential for a human, also the Inquisitor showed a great curiosity in the Eldar tactics and technology. The Farseer then dispatched a Warlock to assist this inquisitor and help him reach his psychic potential (at least that is what the Inquisitor thinks, who knows what the Eldar Farseer really has in mind. For all we know the Farseer could be influencing the Inquisitors every thought, and is using him to carry out his own agenda without having to lose his valuable resources). That's just a quick rundown, I will work on the greater details here and there and update on this thread.

Grimm: Thanks man, I am pleased with it too.

Vitruvian: Thank you for pointing that out.... I love adding small details like that, I can't believe I missed that one, I will add that tonight.

Syanticraven: That might work, I will ponder that for a bit.

neil101: I do tend to have a cartoony/comic book style. Thanks for diggin it, ... the visor is actually a Kroot shoulder pad. I thought it would add a little flavor to the model.

Space_Potato: That's exactly what I was going for, thanks for reassuring me.

kingjayko: Thanks sir, .. will do ...

R3DM0H4WK: Thanks for the excellent grade!! I'll try to keep things lookin' good.

You've got such skill. You're painting on both the inquisitor and guardsman is superb. I can't wait to see the eldar painted.

Thanks Good Green, ... I am starting the Warlock next. I just touched up the Inquisitor a bit so hopefully I'll get the Warlock started tonight.

I want to see more - they are smooth

Those are looking pretty incredible. The first inquisitor looks amazing, from the color scheme to the pose to the details, just everything. The quartermaster's looking great too. For whatever reason, I'm really digging the way you did the =I= on his pauldron. On top of how good everything is, of course.

weety: There are more to come sir

Zefig: Thank you and I am more than pleased with it too. It came out better than expected.

Here are the touch ups to the first two models. I added a gloss to the Quartermaster and I changed the color of the shuriken pistol to make it stand out. I also added a nice little detail to the hood with some Eldar runes, I really l think it livens the model up. The warlock is primed and ready to paint, hopefully I'll have some pics up by this weekend. Thanks for tuning in guys, keep up the responses.

I like the runes! Funnily enough the one at the very top of the head, in the middle, looks like the Chinese character (also used in Japanese) 中, which means middle.
Your colours come out really vibrantly but they're never garish, which is a good achievement.

The Inquisitor looks even better now: Shuriken pistol stands out and the runes on his hood give it that pop.

As for the Quarter Masters back pack....it looks like you bought it....so I applaud your skills with the gs.

Peter

PDH: Thank you for the comment on the pistol, I think he does look better now. I also thought "since I'm doing the gun, I might as well try the hood effect I was thinking of" so again, thank you for the suggestion, it looks loads better.

Jackanory: That is absolutely fantastic. The irony couldn't have been scripted better. I chose that rune because it just seemed to fit there, like that was where it needed to go. I got a real kick out of the fact that it means "middle" in both Chinese and Japanese, thank you for that.

I also have to give credit to Zain60, I adorned his hood with Eldar runes from your suggestion, .... hope you like it.

This is pretty impressive!
i'll keep watching this, closely ^^

Very nice stuff. I can't wait to see them based up. They both look very characterful.

your models are amazingg!!

Sage, Vinsal, Tobber: Thank you for the compliments, I will try not to dissapoint.

Wow.. definitely a unique painting style! I like it! I also agree with breaking up the black by coloring the shuriken pistol a different color.

And absolutely fantastic freehand- any tips?

I like them. Very classic feel. Don't skimp on basing though - setting the scene makes all the difference.

I think that using black to tie together the group, instead of a color, might grow into a nice theme.

Your Runes are great, that must of taken some time?
