Hi folks,
I finished my Reclusiarch. Started him a while ago but today was his big day.
Gotta love this model. He is so epic I refused to do conversions on him.

Comments are highly appreciated, as allways.








FAMILY PORTRAIT ^^

That chaplain was one of the most badass model GW have ever produced and that model definitely does it justice

He certainly is. I really enjoyed painting him although he's metal.

Nicley done, although I always love seeing the the knight helmet marine in the AOBR set.

Really cool looking chaplain

Are you referring to the Chaplain?
Because I do not know which guy out of the AoBR set you think of....

The first picture on your blog, 1st page.

Oh... stupid me. ^^
I will finish him tomorrow if you like and post the result.
I was a little bit lazy concerning the tactical squad, because I do not field them so often.

Thanks, also I know BA do not usually field tacticals due to more BA players focusing on assault oriented units, so do not feel the rush of completting(spell?) it.

that is a beautiful chaplain. I agree with all the comments about the model It is my belief that it is actually the best one they have ever produced.

As to your painting it is impressive! I love the alternating colour on the shin armour (grieves?). I note you said that you do not feel up to painting more advanced techniques. Take it from a painter recently in a similar position - you have no need to worry, so go for it! We'll all support you and the satisfaction is immense!

@Phantom
Indeed... Tacticals aren't really that popular with BA, but hey... Today a five man squad of tacticals won me a game. To be more specific. It was the Sergeant. He was alone on turn six. Survived the shooting of two Assault Cannons, making 5 armour saves, just to run into 3" range of the objective in my turn. Crawling there on his knees the last inches to be exact. ^^
It was really epic. I have to consider giving him another purity seal for this deed of duty.

@Taffiarti
Thanks for your cheering. I might give it a try. Although I think I will implement it on my Dark Eldar and not on my BA, just for coherency in the painting.

Congrats, also how did the Chaplain do?

Phantom wrote:Congrats, also how did the Chaplain do?

I haven't fielded him to be honest.
The terminators are not very useful in low points games.


AND....

Here is the tactical marine:

Hi guys,
Todays upload is my recently finished Sanguinary Priest and his buddy... the leader of my DC. Of course... There is no such thing as a leader of a squad of DC, rulewise. But I like the idea that a bunch of crazy nuts is lead into field by a even bigger maniac, refusing to die in several battles. ^^

Btw. The priest was a royal pain to paint. I really suck at painting this bone colour on the flat parts of the armour. Took me ages to get it right without major streaks from the brush, but I'm still not happy.

Another sidenote. The priest is one rare model in my growing army with no major conversion done. Besides the little chalice on his backpack. Fluff wise he carries a chalice with him but I do not like the idea or holding a oversized chalice in his hand like Corbulo. It is just silly to go to war with a cup in your hand.

Last thing to say. The banner will get a free hand motif if once I will acquire enough skill to do one.

Enjoy...
And do not hold back any comments or critic...


PRIEST:











DC LEADER:









... and his unfinished Brethren waiting for some more paint.



Yeahh.... I suck at painting faces too. If you have a close look you can see that the eyes of the DC guy look kinda weird. I'm really glad that he is wearing a hood. ^^

Some work in progress....

I converted and started painting my Librarian a while ago.
I replaced the dumb looking book with a hand and gave him a cool little banner.





And because I got bored painting my soldiers today I built me a regular Reclusiarch without TDA so I do not have to proxy him all the time with the TDA Reclusiarch... Which is kinda funny though. ^^

And last but definetly not least. One of my favorite miniatures GW has yet created.
The TDA Librarian with a minor conversion.

Ever worried about your Stormshield being too small?
Do not worry no more!









Yes. It looks very much like being a Templars shield, but it's just plain awesome. I had to have it on this guy!

Can you imagine him going with the TDA Reclusiarch, the Assault Terminators and a TDA Priest in a Landraider?
I definetly can. And he will smack some faces. ^^

Great work man, I also noticed the bolter conversion on the AOBR marine and I thank you for taking time to paint it. I was also wondering where did you get the shoulder pad on the power fist for your DC leader.

I'm really happy that you noticed it. I used the spare bolters of my Death Company to give my tacticals a little bit of Blood Angel flavour. ^^

I had to lie if I was saying that I know exactly where I got this bit from.

A.) It was part of a vehicle kit

B.) It bought it with a lot of other stuff from a bitz-store

I'm more tending towards variant A but I can't remember for the life of me. ^^

Btw. Any suggestions concerning which one I'm going to paint next? ^^

Today I managed to paint up this little guy.
It was time to build me a PA Reclusiarch. I proxied him the last few games with my TDA guy. This was not a real good solution for obvious reasons.

I bulit him a few days ago with bits I once ordered for him and today I managed to completely paint him.

Hope you like it.

Looks great man... keep up the good work.

Exalted!

Awesome use of parts! Loving the Space Hulk terms!

Did you use power armour parts for your scout? Looks great!

I love how you pose your minis and how fast you pump each one after another

May I ask how did you convert the space hulks left arms

I myself am trying to do just so and fail doing so

Wow. This is awesome, all of it.
I'm Subscribed.

@Emperors_Champion:
Yes. I used power armour parts for the scout sergeant. I left away the shoulder pads to make him look more "scouty".

@Looks Infected:
Just have a look at my other thread. The one for the converted Termis. I posted pictures there. If you have further questions then feel free to ask.

These are absolutely lovely. I've got a Death Company Dread still unassembled and you've given me some great inspiration. I'm a big fan of the use of green on the Reclusiarch - it looks fantastic and contrasts really well. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.

Go for the DC. And send me your results when you're done. They get not as much love as they deserve, in general.

Quick update:
One of my Attack bikes is finished!

That's one awesome attack bike. I love the weathering and that nice rich gold.

Great work dude! Good mix of kits and cool posing and conversions all wrapped up with a great paintjob, keep it up!

iirc, the bit is from the DA ravenwing sprue, full of cool goodies!

Hi guys,
Had another free day for painting so i finished up this Librarian.
I love this miniature and did only a minor conversion for gaming reasons (storm shield).

I messed up his glowing eyes. Will fix that later but I ran out of time.
How do you like him?

That' looks great! The eyes do need fixing up as you say, but otherwise he is very nicely done! I like that storm shield. Is it a Scibor one?

Yah... I know...
I ran out of time and just slapped some sloppy dots of paint into his face. I regret it cause now I have to fix it, but I'll manage that. ^^

The shield is from Scibor. The Templar shield set. It comes with this big one and two smaller ones. I wasn't sure about it at first, because some people might think it looks too "templerish", but you can do a lot with the right paintjob.

^I knew that shield was from Scibor.They have some great stuff there! The shield doesn't look too "tempelerish" at all. I use the Scibor Spartan shields for my Ultramarines army! They're great.
