I have finished Justus Extremis with a touch of camo net.



Finished the Banner Bearer


And have an Engineseer well under way



And started basecoating the Magos

^that is AWSOME!!! the magos is sooo cool!

More progress on the Mechanicus.
Found a small one that went with the skullz archmagos.
I want to do a Runtbot kind of thing with him.
I want to base him on a 60mm with an Imperial Robot.
But I have no robot,yet

Magos Parker is coming along even better than I hoped,as I am not the best sculptor.
But the robes I think are ok

The robes are great, they look perfectly frayed and tattered around the edge and they sit really well on him, it looks like the legs are moving beneath them, top notch sculpt.

A little diversion to keep the batteries fresh
After reading Emperor's Gift I felt compeled to whip up a Grey Knight Termie.
I used Alclad Chrome to give it a Holy Shine you cannot get with a brush.
Great care is needed to paint the details,you cannot fix a screwup on the chrome.

So much of this thread is just top notch.

The chrome on the Grey Knight is perfect (I might look into that), but the enginseer and magos are the winners for me.

I'll definitely pop in and see how things are going more regularly.

Laney

Epic! I think you should make a detatchment!

I have enough for an small basic army
Sprue of termies,Srupe of PA,and Inquisition out the wazooo
I just might.

Niiiiiiiiice. I have some GKs I could send your way.

PM me we can talk
I decided to at least do 5 of them.
Techmarine and Librarian those who read Emperors gift will know who they are

those greykights looks great! i really like the brown on the books!

The Librarian is just about done,just a couple odds and ends.
The Techmarine is well underway and I have prepped the armor on the Sword Champion and Nemisis Knight

I think you've convinced me to get some alclad. Those look great.

Some more shots of the Techmarine and Sword Champion a little further on





Automatically Appended Next Post:
The Librarian is just about finished.Sword Champion getting there
Now I have to think about basing them

Well I have three finished and based

Librarian with Lyrics to Iron Madien




Nemisis Knight One





Techmarine

Beautiful, I think the libby's eyes need more black though

I'll look into it
I have the next few finished,yep boys and girls making this a bare minimum army,maybe more if I go Inquisitor for HQ.
I have been wanting to do inquisition for a long time.
Bought I bought 5 more Termies and Capt Stern




And Brother Capt Stern

Wow! I am loving the GKs! Is the eagle on stern's shoulder shield thing a transfer?

Nice work! Where can you get this Alclad ?

Not a transfer,an hours worth of freehand,thanks for the complement.

You can get Alclad2 online and at hobby shops the kind that have ww2 models,trains.
I highly recommend hitting your local hobby shop it is where you find really cool stuff to use for wh40k

If you noticed the title has changed,Not really much left to do for the Lancers,I have tons of Elyisans left over.
Maybe I can parlay them into something else,do more Serpartists,trade em for Krieg or Steel Legion maybe.
I am burnt out on the Guard right now,though I do have a few more tanks left in me,
Might be a good time to whip up a Cadian winter one for all the Hostile Environment players and plop it on E-bay.
But as you can see I have been painting Grey Knights ever since I read Empror's Gift.
And like usual an tiny 5 man Termie project blew up into a Full-On Army.
Since the Knights field Inquisitor's and I have always,always wanted to do them.
Now this will be a Termie Armie,might whip up PA Interceptors to capture objectives(Are they good for that?)
I bought my 3rd box of Termies today going for two 10 man Termie Squads
Next week I pick up the StormRaven to shuttle the boys around the board,already have the Dred to go with it.
I decided to Pick up a Termie Librarian and convert him into a Knight with the old one becoming a Justicar/Knight with Warding Stave
This was a subtle conversion that I did by adding a GK Stormbolter and changing the books into Chapter Badges by add sword pieces carefully

I was in love with the very first tank, and then to see you take it to the next level with every step of the way and then ending on CHROME grey knights?! You're a madman sir! I am very interested in the weathering though. Is it a hard process with a lot of thought or a bit of taking a sponge and slashing it about randomly til you're happy and repeating with the rust effects too?

I'm not much of a reader but is there a post in here that details how you get the weathering that way or even every tool/paint/etc used? I'd love to try it some day.

Again, amazing work.

Great Freehand! And I love the new title

I would buy some Elysians from you if you're up for selling them in about a month or so. I need to get moved in to my summer internship and get my first paycheck, but I'd buy a squad or two and possibly one of the vehicles you have left over.

Send me a PM and we can talk.

I finished up the Librarian before work today





edit Looking at it know I am not too thrilled with the shield will probally swap out for the fancy detailed one,I do not like how it has no gold trim

Looks great will, especially the base!~

Thanks,the new gold drybrush paint drybrushed over black
makes for a great starting point for dirty bronze.
Streak on watered down Vallejo verdi-gris glaze and Chardon granite and it is good to go.
Looks very good for CoD tiles as you can see
I finished my Lord Draigo today and have the dred finished enough to show off

that =][= dreadnaught is really cool!

Ok looking at the last picks of Draigo his banner was a bit dull,I added a bit Nuln Oil to make it pop.
Nuln Oil is a funny word sounds like what Sisters of Battle use not to squeak.
I also finished the Foxy Boxy dread and lastly the Librarians new Heraldry much more classy

Its crazy that all of a sudden, when you add that last little thing your models go "BAM"
