Best comment ever! Hahahaha true story though!


S.

...and you even added the lace cuffs

Absolutely stunning, IzeColt! He's a true individual! Can't wait to see him painted

He looks great , his face is so full of character.. like a judge with his powdered wig.. The baneblade rapier sword does look like a good match ...

Cheers! I've already started painting him. Done with the face and the wig, pretty nice pace in my case

Painting WIPs to follow soon'ish...

Probably the best model representation of concept art I've seen. Brilliant stuff with a amazing 40k vibe that is often missing in the official models, funny enough.

Thanks Hindenburg!

Ok, I have to admit, I'm on a spree here. As promised, here's couple of WIP shot from Cassar's current status. You can find couple of more angles on Spiky Rat Pack blog, if you're interested....

Is that a little beauty spot there on his lip, IzeColt? He is shaping up to be everything I expected, mate. Brilliant!

Yeah KrautScientist, that is! This Cassar person is a pretty pervert little bastard, isn't him?

You know, the really great thing about the character concept is how it manages to combine a rather foppish look with this element of subtle danger. He has this slightly unhinged look about him that tells you that this guy is indeed quite dangerous. I love it

Haha! Great description! That sounds Cassar is like a vampire or something I'll try to add some more edge to him with couple of tricks...

The conversions and the painting are great....I think you've really captured the "essence" of the art work, and that's very hard to do in my opinion. Great job! Very gritty, very surreal

Oh man... Cassar makes foppish look bad-ass. Seriously great, envy-inducing GS work. That hair and neck frill are absolutely fantastic, izeColt! And the paint job is equally good- so different!

-Remi

that face is painted really well!

He's really coming along! Love the cuffs, and the nonchalant pose - looks like the type to take anything in his stride. His face scares me - a heady mix of contempt and anger

Cheers Crimthaan, HF Izanagi, Rogue Wolves and Scarper!

Finally, here he is, the head of my INQ28 gang, Inquisitor Marius Cassar...




Inquisitor Marius Cassar and the inglorious Rogues Malus.

For more images, check out our blog Spiky Rat Pack! Hope you like the outcome

And now it's time to move on to the next phase of the Punk Moth project, the caterpillar....

That is one fine miniature there, the hair is Fantastic and the paint pallet is muted but works perfectly

He is simply spectacular, IzeColt! As expected I am sooo jealous right now

The whole retinue together also looks fantastic. I guess it's okki's move now to try and outdo that, huh?

these models are amazing! it really provides the gothic style of 40k

Simply stunning Ize.. you surpassed the rifle man in my affections .. the colours are so warm and rich ..just sublime mate..

izeColt has done some incredible work here, I am a huge fan of his work.

Subscribed!!!! your work inspires me to get of dakka and finish my IG army.

Well, your siamese twins are no slouch either. I have high hopes for them, mate

That said, you are quite right that IzeColt's work is simply stunning, especially the uncanny transition from artwork to model.

Wow... just simply... wow.

Were any parts non-GW in the making of these toys? If not (or even if so!), this deserves to be on the GW website with an accompanying article- your models and the original sketches. It's Blanche, it's grimdark to a T, it's masterfully done, it's izeColt.

-Remi

Superb work! Both your modeling and painting are ridiculously well done. I will be watching with great interest!

Holy cow they turned brilliant!

Thank you all or your kind words! It is wonderful to hear that so many of you have been following the progress of this small group.

I can't stress this enough, KrautScientist, but your work has also had a major impact on my side of the Punk Moth project. It's pure magic what you've done with your Inquisitor posse, not to mention the amazing fluff! Consider me a fan

What comes to Mikko's work, I can barely wait to see his Twinz ready. That is one bad-ass mini on the way! To be frank, I'm quite scared to even think of what his Inquisitor will be like. I've heard couple of pretty interesting stories so far, but I'm sure Mikko has couple of tricks in his sleeves that he'll use to blow up the pot. Seriously, I can't wait to see his stage one to be ready.

Mikko's vigor enthusiasm has given a lot of strenght for me to carry on abd finish what I've started doing. It hasn't been an exception in this case either...

All the bits used in these models are from the range of Games Workshop. It is my admiration to Blanche's art that has worked as a basis for my creativity. I won't hide the fact that I, for sure, try to imitate Blanche's work... in a way. That might be one of the reasons why my stuff is what it is...

Just to repeat myself...

Ize he looks superb. The colour of the sword is brilliant. The shoulder mounted weapon looks ace.

The group shot....what a money shot. Brilliant sums it up. I think you could probably quite happily give him a couple more retinue members.....perhaps an interrogator.

Looking forward to Okki's group and the scenery next. Great project and cool symbol for it...nice and rusty.

Cheers PDH!

We seriously thought about making cloth badges from the new Punk Moth logo, along with bigger Spiky Rat Pack back badge that we would then stitch to old rag-tagged denim vests bought from the flee market

Wow its amazing what is in fashion around the world!

Consider me humbled then, that I have managed to inspire someone who is much more of an artist than me

I am also really looking forward to the "Twinz". And you are right: If that's one of the henchmen, what on earth will the Inquisitor look like?

Oh, and I totally second PDH's suggestion to add more retinue members, if only to see more conversion goodness from you You seem to have quite a lot of archetypes covered, but what about a Mechanicus Priest? Or an arco-flagellant? Some kind of heavy Crusader-type would also be interesting (and a great pretext for adding yet more gothic madness).
