Sorry I thought I had posted here already, must have forgotten. I like what you are doing, I'm a fan of the imaginative backpacks especially.

I think I would ditch the name 'Keith Kenny' though, it sounds more like a 1970s British comedian than a grizzled 40k soldier. I like that you have sculpted a beard on, but I think there is too much on the upper lip and not enough on the chin. I would add more over the mouth area to make it bushier, like a special forces beard.

Thanks Bruticus and Manus!

Probably the 80s action movies are where I took inspiration ...

I have to say that the name sounds good if You put the "Pest Control" in the middle
about the beard, You're right, looking at It tonight I see what You mean, moar is better.
Next time I have GS around for some other project I'll add a bit of menhair to Keith

What about the other two crew members, any suggestion?

Edit cause I missed Manus comment

You sir have a nice bits box and the vision to use it! I dig projects like this where every model is so full of character, looking forward to the next post.

Thanks and welcome aboard for the ride!

The bitz I'm using are, sadly, all I have atm, waiting for a truckload to arrive from a user on Dakka and a friend of mine promised me a big fellow to play with (Ogre, don't think wrongly here )

Looking forward to seeing more, subscribed! Keep it up!

cool little thing you got going on Selv i like the catachan is ace. really like what your doing with them.

The Catachan is my favorite mini of yours so far! Now I'm seriously considering starting my own warband, and it's your fault too.

Don't blame me, INQ28 is not my fault
Thanks

On a side note, something went really bad priming Duff, now I should strip It, but don't have anything to do It with...
I think i'll just try to give It a nice paintjob...

Cables on Crona are added and It's ready to take the primer, but I'm a bit scared now

EDIT: I gust scraped off the primer and part of the mini, I'll post pics of Duff 1.2 soon, It changed a bit, but I saved the savable with a ton of GS, let's say that It was a nice sculpting exercise

So what happened with the priming then, did it melt the plastic or blob paint ?

Never scrape the model use a striping agent (although most will react badly with GS) so where are the pics then ?

I now know that the primer has to be take off with some stuff I don't have, so.... i scraped, plastic was melted and bubbles of primer everywhere...

Here is the result of the GS work on Duuf after the disaster (already re-primed)


I started to paint Him as well

Keith got a moar beard



And Crona got his cables (made with GS and a comb, Thanks Dr. H ) and the little Backstory



=][= Crona Mexy “Il Re” =][= (The King)

The bazar was a mess, all the doors were shut and the vendors on the main plaza were trying to save what was left of their belongings.
“What happened here?” Asked, to one of the merchants, Alice “Gazza Ladra” De Menabrès.
“ A big guy, drugged, or drunk, just destroyed everything, bastard!”
“Alone?”
“Yes, He was raging and screaming about his family, got a push from one of the Boss guards..
Then was just crushing and fighting, four of the guards got hands on him, two died.” Showing what was left of a couple of muscled men.
“Where is him now?”
“They got him in the Pit Canteen, down the road, I think that They're waiting the Boss to kill him” he smiled.
She entered alone.
The Pit Canteen wasn't crowded, just a few guards and a big guy tide with chains to a column in the middle of the room.
When Alice entered the guards started to say nasty things on what they would have done to her, Alice was used to It and just killed the five of them with no remorse.
After freeing the man, the Boss came in, a Mutie with a nasty case of putrescence on his face.
He shoot straight at the big guy , but Crona was already on him with the Power Fist and that was the end of the Boss.
“You can do better than going around destroying everything on your path.”
“Who are You Young Lady? Thanks for saving me from this scum”
“I'm a woman that need someone like You on my ship”
“What kind of ship my Lady”
“A pirate ship, and call me Captain! Now, let's go”
“Yes Captain!”

I should stop lurking then, shouldn't I?!

I'm liking the chaps so far.
Duuf doesn't look too worse-for-wear after his "accident". Any rough patches can always be made to look like battle damage/weathering.

Keith looks good (nice beard). Kind of looks like he could do with many gold chains about his neck rather than those teeth (maybe make them golden teeth?).

Nice cables on Crona

Looking forward to seeing more...

Great use of cultists!

Looking awesome! I cant wait to see them painted!

Agreed.
The beard really suits Keith. Where did you get his legs? Fire warrior?

Thanks to You as well, the legs are from Maxmini actually, great stuff

Time to upload the pics of a painted mini on this Thread.
After the "accident" with the primer and the sculpting process, the paint started to get on Duuf, let me know what You think







There are a few touch ups to do, especially on the bottom back of the long coat, but I'm pretty pleased with the result.
Base is in progress

The face plate looks brilliant, good work.
And I like the color of the jacket.
Great start.

Definitely potential there, and its good to see you are someone who puts paint on his models Sometimes we start these projects just to build them, but the poor models, they weep for the paint!

Kudos, looking forward to seeing more

wow... how did I miss out on that thread?... great looking models Sel! fluff needs more time to read tho ... comes next^^

Now that is looking cool. Love the colours.

Painted all ready dam you're moving fast have to agree nice choice to the coat colour has an almost dark regal green tinge to it and the beige inside nice finish.

The cabling has an almost copper feel to them was that intentional works well with the coat

Like the face visor nice detail of the light reflection and the brassy part of the helmet looks great as well.

Have to say had a little chuckle though I was watching the discovery channel and a program called "Sons of guns" was on, they were trying to market a gun to woman and the body work was painted white.

Now you have had the praise now for the picky points gun barrel needs some black wash or a touch up, the white is showing through on the muzzle and it is distracting the eye , also around the hand holding the rifle (might just be the photo) but a white stripe is running along his hand which looks odd.

Last some touch up around the feet meets coat ,they are kind of blending together definition is needed to clarify where one part ends and the other begins but overall looks great .

Thanks a lot, the coat is this color because the Magpies have a greenish-blue color on the wings, even if they look black and white

I'll never leave my minis without paint anymore, I'm really enjoying the color mayhem lately

Take your time Vik, It took me ages to catch up on your thread (thruth is It was already more than 400 pages at the time )

The cables are actually painted with very thinned Dwarf Bronze on white undercoat, Intentional as It can be
I see all the points you're talking about to get this figure a bit better, thanks for the feedback

I'm building now the base for Duuf, big plans for It, stay tuned

Take your time Vik, It took me ages to catch up on your thread (thruth is It was already more than 400 pages at the time

understood^^

Hi guys, It's an hard decision I have to make and I need your help

I did the base on Duuf, but I can't decide if It's better to make him go Up (like a sniper taking position), or Down (like a guy that is going in a rush to help someone)

Please help me

Nice base. I would say UP. Don't know why, just feels better to me.

Agree with up.

Up I think. Nice base, love the idea.

Three Up, not bad.
Come on people I need your feedback, maybe with a reason on why should He go Up or down

Hi! Long time no see.

Sniper is looking good - the glass visor is my favorite bit on the mini (as is the smooth blending on his robe). I quite like the UP position, and I'd keep the same angle/lean forward you have from the pics. He has a "determined" look to his steps going up, but not in a hurry... as no sniper should ever be.

Hi Izanagi, truly long time
