Ezreal the blind with acolytes

Very nice!

Everything is looking fantastic.

Great batch of models.

=I= Inquisitor Sardinius Maul =I=

Inquisitor Sardinius Maul has been reported to be a daemon hunter with a sadistic streak who is fond of turning his victims into arco-flagellants and taking their hands to add to his belt. He has many internal cybernetic augmentations to his body to help him beat on daemons with his enormous war hammer.

(He currently doesn't have a head as well...)

I've started making some Arco-Flagellants



And done a bit more work on Chains, the daemonhost

These are all fantastic. The clamps on the daemonhost's head, as well as hands, add a great touch of dehumanization that we all the Inquisition for--

Wow - some really inspirational work here.

Thanks for sharing.

Great stuff, the arco-flagellants are a cool idea.

Loving the brutality of this crew Really dig the direction on the arcos and the host, but iMaul is a proper beast, which IMO is pretty rare with inquisitor builds these years. Too much subtlety going around for my tastes

Thanks guys!

I'm currently figuring out how to paint them and would really appreciate some advice.

I want the troups to look like these guys.

It's like this horribly beautiful intense brown-green.

Here's progress so far.



I think I'm slowly getting there. Although it is a faff to do because it involves lots of mixing paint.

Basecoat = Airbrush with 3:2 Vallejo camo green:GW steel legion brown
Highlight = Airbrush with 3:2 Vallejo camo green:GW zandri dust
Shade = Airbrush with 1:1:1 Vallejo camo green:GW castellan green:GW

I can't really find anything here that gives a similar sort of brown-green, any ideas? Ideally, I'd prefer a vallejo colour given the dropper bottles and that they don't change their paint line every other year...

Instead, I've tried to use the brown ink as a glaze to introduce more of the brown colour from the concept images.

Left figure - no washes
Middle figure - one glaze GW brown ink (old) 1:1 with Vallejo glaze medium, one wash GW nuln oil
RIght figure - two glazes GW brown ink (old) 1:1 with Vallejo glaze medium, one wash GW nuln oil

I have to say I'm very impressed with the nuln oil wash

I prefer the colour on the middle figure the most, but the highlights and low lights still aren't 'popping' like they do in this image. The double glaze just looks a bit messy and too dark.



So I think i need to put an extra highlight and shade in there before I do the wash. I think it's because I did zenithal highlights with an airbrush which flattens the top when viewed from above.

I was thinking edge highlight = 3:2 Vallejo camo green:GW Screaming skull
And I might just use diluted black for the darkest shadows on the shade as it's already pretty dark.
THEN doing the washes, but this might dampen the highlights too much and I don't know if I'll be able to re do them because of the colour shift caused by the glaze...

But, I'd LOVE a simpler option if any one has any ideas.

Are the Ordo Chronos a reference to CamTim?

Looking from the photos of your models, I think you need to start with a darker brown as the base- a burnt umber type of paint- and build the color from there, rather than starting with a lighter brown.

Otherwise, I think the base color you have right now would be really good for the highlights.

Thanks for the input guys,

I think a darker base would be a good idea, I think I went too heavy on the highlight and low light and the basecoat doesn't really come through. I was hoping I wouldn't have to highlight them with a brush but I think it would be worthwhile doing that and shading them too.

I've bought some vallejo US olive drab, and dark yellow in the hope that I won't have to mix my colours.

If that doesn't work I think I'll just mix a fair bit and put it in dropper bottles so that I have the same colour across the army and don't have to mix it everytime.

But I will leave them for the time being as I've begun painting SARDINIUS
