Ok, I must know how you created that magos! He's beautiful!

Thanks guys, the inquisitor is soon finished too.
I try to make the bases to reflect it taking place inside an imperial city or Hive or something, evoking a mini-diorama feel to it.

@TheDraconicLord: You take the IG Engineseer and hack off it's left arm at the shoulder and the right one at the elbow.

Then you GS up the face into a visor-plate. The left arm is a bionic one from a servitor, the right forearm and stave comes from the skaven model Ikkit Claw. The stave top comes from the Empire wizards kit.

Then you cut off the light-thingy on the backpack and add a second servoarm, I used one from the SM missile launcher backpack.

Inspiring stuff. Now I want to pick up my 28mm =][= project again. Thanks a lot...

Magos-Explorator is beautifully painted.

Really looking forward to seeing so much more here.

Nice appetizer. Looking forward to what is hopefully an insane 9 or 12 course dinner

I would really like to see more WIP shots of your stuff, STC_LogisEngine. Your end products are phenomenal, I'd just also like to see how you got to your end product. The inquisitor and the gunslinger were a great start, but that Tech Magos looks like he's cobbled together from a variety of sources. More angles, more photos! Keep up the great work.

Gods, thank you! He looks so beautiful, I loved painting the IG Engineseer but you upped that miniature to 11 with your modifications!

A lovely series of conversions - I will definitely be keeping tabs on this blog. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks guys, the comments are highly appreciated.

I will try to snap more wip and pip photos in the future.

Currently I am about 50% done with the Inquisitor in robes and at about the same amount of progress on an old daemonhunter- inquisitor that I never finished painting, but have picked up again.
The Magos was really fun to paint since the colourscales was slightly out of my wheelhouse so to speak, they came out a tad flat in the photos, not as deep and rich (especially the bronze) as they are in normal light.
I have a friend who is a professional photo-artist and illustrator, once this all is done and the accompanying terrain has been built and painted (yes, we are eyeing the new FW city and industrial tiles quite heavily) I'll have to bribe her with some beer and rum and have her snap some better pics in her studio. But it's a while until then.

And yes, Migsula & Alpharius,. there is both insanity and Legion lurking behind a corner.. You both would love to see what is hiding out on my paintingstation.

Alas, not yet. Not just yet.

Awesome stuff, as I expected. I can see this just getting better and better. Subbed.

Of course it will get better! Who do you take me for?!

Inspirational! Consider yourself subscribed!

PS: hälsningar från Göteborg ;-)

That magus is beautiful. I love the relationship between the staff and the eye-piece.

Well, it took a while but i am finally satisfied with the first Inquisitor.

I hope you like him, it's lonely being a radical and he can sure use the love.









Enjoy!

CnC is as always highly appreciated.

Nice work!! Love the base. Good color for purity seal too

Understated, atmospheric, grimdark... awesome. The basing really brings out his character, too.

Very nice mate, very very nice

My fav bit (apart from the striking limited palette) os the depth of the cowl, did you cut the face out? Or just paint it black?

Very nice indeed. The basing has some especially nice rust effects. And the subtle tones on the inquisitor himself make the whole thing very believable. Excellent work all round.

Beautiful! The saturated brown of the leather book against the neutral brown grey of the cloak is so nice.

I wish i had more time to post.

He looks brilliant. Really like the colour scheme. You have definitely hit the radical nail on the head.

Just perfekt. I like the "face". Give him a very dark and mysterious appearance. Did you just paint the face black or did you drill it out or something else?

^What Logan said! That guy looks feeeeirce man! Great stuff

Cheers guys.

Since you had multiple questions of the cowl : the face has been cut away and the cowl hollowed out a bit so that light will not strike the black inner surfaces in 'normal' circumstances and thus give the sense of depth.

I am really satisfied with using a limited palette for this guy, the magos is quite colourful and so is the puritan inquisitor I am working on atm, lots of red and gold. Nice to have something that breaks with the others and also it's fun to paint somthing in a new way, test your limits a bit and all that.

Currently I am alternating my attentions between an inquisitor, the vindicare assassin and the.. 'speshul-project' currently under the title "ze Alpharius (Mod) -shocker". The gunslinger henchman is primed and will get a lick of paint once I can decide on the palette, I am for some insane reason contemplating to give him an orange jumpsuit at the moment but we'll see.

On the modelling side we have a second magos who is soon finished and a.. *dun-dun-duuuuun!* Eversor assassin who needs a base cranked out before he meets the primer.

Stay tuned for more madness.

Brilliant! Spot on paint job for the conversion and narrative.

The empty chest is screaming for a neat freehand gothic word of choice though

True that Migs. How about ''Axios" perhaps?

Beautiful

Great palette choice, fits the model perfectly.

AX=][=OS

Looking good!

Great idea Sheep

Hehe, not the worst idea Sheep, I might take it.

I am rebuilding my dreadknight,.. for like the 5th time.. Also, scratch-building Volkite weaponry was not the best idea, standard shell-cannon would have been much easier.
