Orcs...thousands of 'em sir!

I know! First up will be Da Tor Bus, which is the base for the Valkyrie. I'm going to need the orc animosity set though

Sepulturum early WIP:

Great looking group graven. Is that your sculpting work or just the cloth bits painted?

Models as they came, plus some purity seals etc, not really any gs work. Thanks chief!

A tor bus? What about a slick ride with a sexy orkette on the hood.....wait those don't exist, carry on . Your piece is excellent, such great attention to detail on creatures that have no attention to detail.

That's very quotable mate

A further WIP - next, flesh tones

I won't get anything else done today, stag do with all the fellow geek gang. Brewery tour followed by Bavarian lunch, beer, possibly cake, more beer at stag's local, Brazilian bbq, and ladies doing the dancing.

I'm looking forward to it, although I'm going to try not to get wrecked! The brewery, WEST, is one of my favourites, which is dangerous. I want enjoy the chat and grub. Not really that fussed about dancing girls, tbh. Irrespective of whether you believe it's demeaning and/or exploitative or just harmless titillation, don't see the point in paying for seeing things jiggling up and down; there's this thing called the internet, and frankly mrs g is pretty darn smokin' (not biased or anything, me). However, I know it's part of the whole deal so, we'll see.

And in answer to both of the above, there's always this:

Mrs G looking good there!

funny man

Good time was had, and not too hungover so finished off the inquisitor and retinue. I'll let the pics do the talking!

Cyber mastiff




Nomad



Interrogator



Scrivener



Sergeant



And Inquisitor Jaxsan himself:




And together:

They looks spectacularly good, really love the vibe they have.

Great looking stuff! I really like the dirty earthy paint job you went for and the characters are wonderful. That Scrivener is possible one of my favourite models! Count me subbed!

Very nice! Look great together as a group

My one criticism would be that the purity seal parchment on the nomad could have been a tad lighter, blends in too much with his outfit at the moment.

Very nice graven. Might the cyber-mastiff benefit from some decidedly more mechanical looking paint jobs on the mechanical parts?

Thanks mate! I don't know about spectacular but I am happy with how they've turned out.

Thanks, and welcome aboard! I wanted a different set of colours to my usual, but one that would still hang together, so I stuck with military uniform colours throughout. And yeah, I've been looking for a use for Lexmechanic, and he really fitted the bill as my scrivener.

I'm really pleased with how the hang together. Limited pallet in rotation, basically. I'll fix that purity seal, good call.

Thanks mate. Clearly I have dulled down the metals too much!

Fixed? (phone pic, sorry):



Really looking forward to playing Inquisition Wars on Wednesday, although I'll need to actually sit down and reread the rules, having only had a couple of games of 6th when it first released! *sigh* ah well. Hopefully it'll be fun, and not too beardy.

Next up will be some SoB, although I'm going to order the Orc Animosity set to start the Valk's base off. So it might be the Valk that gets done next instead! Thoughts, chaps?

Cheers,
and thanks for continuing C&C,
graven

They look really cool, its amazing how they have come on from the WIP pics.

Fixed

Extra contrast helps

Thoughts?.....I think I like flutterbyes, pretty clouds and girl's squishy bits........does that help?

As to whether valk base or SoBs next...depends on if you have the animosity orcs when you next sit down at your modelling desk.......

Fixed.

Great looking band there

You are a funny, filthy man. Orcs are getting ordered tomorrow though.

Thanks mate, I really love that process of seeing things through. Also, I'm aware that my style is pretty idiosyncratic!

So, my decision is to try to rescue and upgrade the Valkyrie; here's early work:

There's going to lots of gap filling, and I can't get at the bolters readily to drill out the barrels. Still, I reckon I can get a (re)prime on it pretty soon.

Noooooooo! It's greeeeeeeeen! Green ones go fasta!

Only for colour blind orks, surely? my old scheme for the cydonian 9th was dark green, but based on the guys I've drafted for the Retinue it might be a more English Uniform green-Brown. I think though tbh I'll keep it in keeping with the avenger. One of my other friends, Mabrothrax, has offered me yet more kasrkin so there's a real chance of a proper Veteran detachment of Inquisitorial stormtroopers /guard allies. We'll see what the new codex brings...

Love the inquisition squad. The Inquisitor is my favorite. I think you should call the scrivener ' Ramos'. the list he's carrying is the things he has left to paint for WM by Adepticon.

Cheap shot. Couldn't resist! Not sorry!

The bright green plane hurts my eyes. So not working for me! Let see what happens after it is "Gravenized"!

Love the green. At least it's not grey or brown.

Very nice inquisitorial retinue!

I must say the nomad's gun looks far better than the last time I saw it .
You really did a great job on the whole squad.

@SL you are a bad man
@gits *sigh*

Servitor/Skulls for guns

Thanks hyena! Glad you approve of him!

Come over for next years Adepticon and say that to my face! Besides I thought you Brits were a funny people.

Tbbbfffttttttttttt.

The cyber mastiff looks terrifying. Gritty and creepy. That valkyrie is really quite green, but I like what you've done with the servo skulls so far.

Right back at you

Thanks matey. Remember the Valk's going to be broadly the same paint scheme as the Avenger.

On the subject of the cyber-mastiff, I'm swithering between counts-as Arco-Flagellant or DCA. It's I3 vs I6, A4 vs A2, CCWs/PWs, FNP vs Uncanny/5+. I think I & A feels fluffier as the DCA, Power Weapons don't really fit; I could go either way on FNP vs Uncanny/5+. Remember this 100 pt kill team on Inquisitorial retinues, and I'm really interested in which "feels" more appropriate as a counts-as. Your thoughts?

Thanks muckers,
graven

It's a valk of the purest green Percy

Arco-flag seems a better fit to me.

Hey I know the schmuck that painted that Valk!
