Sicarian Infiltrators

I am somewhat excited about the new Kill Team manual and plan to do some Kill Teams patrols during the narrative event at the NOVA open. I plan to use my Sicarian Vanguards and Rangers in the Kill Team but I will add a few Sicarian Infiltrators. I just finished a squad.



Sicarian Infiltrator – Front View

I haven’t really finished him. I need to paint in the lights on his scope but it is good enough for now. Actually, I am not really fond of these models. They are awkward on their oversized horse feet. They are also brittle and will quickly break.

Second Sicarian Infiltrator

For my Kill Squad, I need only one of the four Infiltrators in this squad. The kill team will have two infiltrators but the other will be the Princeps. This one will probably not be picked because he is too hunched over and is missing his long whip antenna.

Building Games Workshop Models – New and Old




Sicarian Infiltrator and Space Marine Bike Tires

While I was building the Skitarri Sicarian Infiltrators, I was also building Space Marine Scout Bikers. These are really two different type models. The Infiltrators are new GW models; the bikes are old style models. The new GW models are detailed, precise, fussy, and the parts fit tightly together. The old models are easier to assemble but need more brute force to finish. The new instruction booklets are more detailed than the old instructions but need to be followed closely since the new models fit together only one way.

I used a clamp to hold the bike tires together while the glue dried. Notice the seam where the left and right side of the tires join.



Clamped Bike Tire

I filed down the seam to even it up.



Filed Tire with Files

Now imagine what would happen if I put the clamps on and tried to file down this model.



Unfinished Princeps

In building both at the same time, I was really impressed with how different these models are. I am less inclined to modify the new models but they are more finished to begin with and need less customizing than the older models.

Getting a Head in Life


Since in the 8th edition, scouts are probably the most point effective troops available for Space Marines and Dark Angels, I decided to make another scout squad. A problem is that I really don’t like the Games Workshop scout heads. So I ordered some new heads from Puppets War in Poland. I ordered four sets of heads, the guerilla heads (old version), the mercenary heads, the patrol cap heads, and the officer heads. The order took some time. I finally emailed them and asked about the order because I had waited a couple weeks with no notice of them mailing my product. They responded that they made each order a special order and were just getting ready to ship the heads.

Finally, the heads arrived and I was glad I ordered them. While the guerrilla heads (old version) are okay, the others are great. Still, I will use the guerrilla heads on my scouts because I like their boonies caps.

The other three sets are wonderful. I have started painting them and mounting them on my models. I paint the heads separately from the rest of the model.



The Patrol Cap Heads

I really like how these models painted up. The heads are made from resin (the material that GW calls finecast). Resin has its problems. Resin models are often distorted so flat surfaces become round and round surfaces twisted. The casting requires lots of lead lines so that there is a lot of bling to cut away on each model. Finally, the mold line are terrible and require a lot of scraping to remove.

On the other hand, however, resin loves paint and paint loves resin. I am not sure why but I think that the sharp edges on a resin model pick up paint much better than either metal or the standard modeling plastic. So the details on a resin head really pop.

Because the heads are so small, the disadvantages of resin is negligible and the mold lines and the bling are easily cut away. In fact, I think all models should have a plastic body and a resin head.



The Mercenary Heads

I love these mercenary heads. Again, the resin loves paint and these heads have lots of personality. I used these heads on my last squad of Hellblasters.



The Officers Heads

I also love these heads. Note the details including the cigar on the left head, the beards, and the insignia on the caps. I used one head on my primaris ancient and the other three on my Dawneagle Jetbike Shield Captains.



Guerrilla Heads (Old Style)

These last heads are less exciting. I have not yet mounted them but will on a scout squad I just built. We’ll see what they look like when they are mounted.

Looking at these heads, it almost appears that the artist who sculptured these heads had a creative leap from okay average heads in the old style to really inspired and dynamic new heads. I will definitely order more heads from Puppets War in spite of the wait. I love the new heads.

I found the best way to paint these heads was to mount them on an old Styrofoam block that I had. I simply pushed each head into the Styrofoam so that each sat in a little depression. I would then spray paint them and then later paint them with little or no movement. Otherwise, especially with spray paint, the heads are so small that they go flying when I try to paint them.

Primaris Ancient




Primaris Ancient with Astartes Banner – Front View

This Primaris Ancient uses one of the Puppets War Officer Heads. The body is from the 30 Years of Warhammer 40,000 Primaris Intercessor Veteran Sergeant kit with some other bits from other kits. The flag is made from green stuff. I am really pleased with this model.

First Scout Biker


Scout bikers are fun to make. For some reason, biker scouts now come with bigger oval bases so I was able to experiment making the bases with tire tracks and skulls. The first scout biker is carrying a shotgun. He has one of the Puppet War patrol cap heads with a big grin.




Biker Scout – Front View

This shows the holster for the shotgun. Since he is holding the shotgun, I had to carve out the shotgun handle out of its holster. The dirt on the tires and on the ground are my left over pastels grinds that I saved from a pastels class I took several years ago.

This shows the skulls on the base as well as the tire tracks.

The tire tracks are made by rolling the tires over some green stuff. The next picture shows the unpainted bases with the green stuff tracks.

I then painted on a gesso base coat mixed with ballast to cover up the green stuff except for the tracks. The gesso also helped bury the skulls to make them part of the landscape.

Making the Scout Biker Sergeant Arm


The Biker Sergeant was tricky. I had to work to get the Scout Biker sergeant’s pointing arm right. I used a pointing arm from a Primaris set but it turned out to be too big.

So I cut off the arm.

I then cut off the arm from the hand and kept the hand with the pointing finger.

Hellblasters




The Hellblaster Squad

I had fun making the last squad of hellblasters. I used the Puppet War mercenary heads and perhaps too dramatic use of OSL (object source lighting) from the plasma incinerators. These models are not subtle. My favorite is the sergeant with the pointing finger but I love them all.

He is a little cartoony but fun.

Five Other Hellblasters Reworked

I plan to employ my Hellblasters in a ten man squad so I have combined my five mercenary heads Hellblasters with the five other Hellblasters that I have already made and shown on this blog. Since I shared these models, however, I have redone the base and repainted the OSL (object source light from the plasma) to match my mercenary head models. These are the updated models.

Painting Shield Captains on Dawneagle Jetbikes



Three Shield Captains on Dawneagle Jetbikes


Adeptus Custodes Shield Captains are all the rage right now. I painted them gold but I kept their robes and uniforms in the camouflage to better match the rest of my army. I have never painted so much gold before and it presented several challenges. The first is that it took a number of coats to cover the surface of the model. Second, the gold needed to be shadowed if it was appear three dimensional.

After painting on the camouflage, I undercoated the shadow area of the metal portions of the models in Vallejo game color tin bits to dull and darken the shaded areas.




Shield Captain with Tin Bits Undercoat




Vallejo Model Color Gold, MSP Core Color Purple and Yellow


To paint the gold, I originally mixed the following colors, Vallejo Model Color Gold, MSP Core Color Purple, and MSP Core Color Yellow.




My Original Palette


I mixed the gold with the purple for shadow areas and with the yellow for highlights. It seemed to work if I painted several layers but later I mixed in Vallejo Model Color Silver with the Gold to create more defined highlight.

I had to paint it several times to get it the gold solid. Notice in the picture below, I am painting from the front to rear. Since I painted the gold over the front several time it is solid gold. Note those back plates on the hood that show the base color coming through. These need another layer of gold.

I actually built the model so I can replace the Salvo Launcher with the Hurricane Bolter. In this case, I didn’t use magnets. The parts fit so closely that they simply snap in and out.

This last shield captain was a little tricky to make. In the other models, the left hand is grapping the handle of the jetbike. I wanted one model with a pointing finger.

These pictures show painting and placing some of the details on the Shield Captains.

It is painting and styling that make each model unique. This is the Ravenwing Talonmaster although it is painted with a camouflage pattern rather than the traditional Ravenwing Black and White scheme. The heads are PuppetWar heads rather than the traditional 40K space marines.

Sammael in Sableclaw

For modeling, the difference between Sammael in Sableclaw and a Ravenwing Talonmaster is just a matter of styling. Although it seems to be missing in the newest Dark Angel Codex, the older codex give Sammael a special cloak called the Adamantine Mantle. The Sammael model on the jetbike, Corvex, has the Adamantine Mantle. It also shows Sammael with long hair. These are two of the styling details that I added to the model to indicate that it was Sammael in Sableclaw.




Sammael in Sableclaw – Right Front View

The head is from the old Warhammer Bretonnia® knight’s set. Games Workshop has discontinued the old Bretonnia knights but I bought a few bits for conversions and find them useful. I added two more details: 1) the book on the hood of the Sableclaw which is identical to the book on the hood of the Talonmaster, and 2) the winged Dark Angel Captain Helmet from the Dark Angels Upgrade Pack. The winged helmet is mounted on the side of the Sableclaw.

Something Different – Genestealer Cult

I really like Kill Team. Not only are the games easier and quicker than traditional 40K, it is easy to try out new armies. When I play for 2000 points, I pretty much have to stick to my old Space Marines since it would take so much time and investment to start a new 2000 point army from scratch. Even when I added a few Ad Mech models, I painted them the same as my space marines so that they would match my current army on the playing field.

For the 100 point Kill Team, however, one can easily put together a whole new army with a completely different paint scheme and play it. So which army should I start with? I like models that have reasonably human heads since I really enjoy painting them. But I also want something with a totally different feel. So I decided to paint up a genestealer cult. I already purchased the kill team starter kit which includes the neophyte hybrid squad. I am tired of camouflage and want a completely new color scheme. I decided to use orange and blue as my basic colors, orange for the uniforms and gunmetal blue for the guns and armor.




Gene stealer Cult Squad


This change is freeing, fun, and difficult. I had gotten into a comfortable old rut with my old paint scheme and knew which colors to paint with little thought. With this new scheme, I really had to think out my colors. Orange is a bright and difficult color but is fun. I bought a jar of Golden Cadmium Orange acrylic paint. Although reds and oranges are not color fast, cadmium reds and oranges will last. I tamed its brightness with a blue for light shadows and with a cobalt black for dark shadows.




My Workspace


Above is my workspace with my open wet palette. The mixtures of cadmium orange are on the left and the mixtures of the gunmetal blue on the right. Below the orange are some of the flesh tones. Other colors are throughout the palette. I use the lid of the wet palette in the upper right of the picture as a base for the washes.




My Workspace – Second View




Models in Progress


Because I need to be able to angle my brush when I paint faces, I paint heads separate from the rest of the body. This also gives me some flexibility especially since Games Workshop tends to include more heads than bodies in their kits. I paint up all or most of the heads and pick the ones I like best for the bodies. If I botch a head I don’t have to use it. I paint the rest of the model’s body already assembled so that the shadows and highlights are consistent on the model. After I glue on the head, I add any necessary shadows and colors to blend it into the body.


In the kit for the Neophyte Hybrids, there are two types of heads, one for the 4th generation who have reasonably normal human heads and one for the 3rd generation that are more Tyranid-like.

I was pleased with the results. The heads turned out okay. On the bodies, I was able to deal with the orange paint scheme although I was afraid at times that it would overwhelm the models.




Three Cultists




Four Cultists




Genestealer Cultists with Tyranid Genestealer


Note the camouflaged scouts in the background. I actually used the same left over pastel grinds on base for the scouts and on the bases for the cultist except I added green pigment to scouts. I added rust pigment, and a little violet pigment, and a little blue pigment to the bases of the Cultists.




Cultists and Scouts


The scouts look like they are jungle fighters, the cultists desert fighters.

Neophyte Hybrid with Autogun




Neophyte Hybrid with Autogun – Right Side View


In these models, I play with complementary colors, the blue in the band, the armor and the autogun verses the orange in the uniform. Although I bring in some other colors, I use a fairly limited palette. Still I use shades and highlights to make the colors, especially the bright orange, more realistic.

I like the big hands on these models. I also have big hands which my daughter has inherited. Sometimes when she feels bad that she didn’t get petite hands like some of her friends, I flex my hands and tell her, these are strangler’s hands. This makes her feel better because, like me, she knows a few people who should be strangled and with our hands, we have that option (assuming no pesky legal problems).

One thing about taking photographs of models, you can easily see errors that you don’t see otherwise. I painted the eyes fluorescent green but some of the green paints got on the skin under the eyes.

This model is only 5 points in Kill Team. There could be up to twenty cultist on a kill team although with upgrades, leaders, and specialist models, the average for a genestealer cult built around neophyte hybrids is about thirteen to fourteen models. Compare this to about four to five models on a Space Marine kill team or eight models on an Admech kill team.
