Great job on the finished captain, cloak really helps adding another point of interest and optimized shield looks very cool.

Lovely job, really like the cloak and gem work.

The cloak is a nice touch. The Imperials look very cool together.

Very nice work on the Captain and he slots right in with your painted minis. Interesting size comparisons going on there for sure.

The Custodes turned out pretty well in the end. I’m pleased you keep the blue gem, it’s cool, even gives him a bit of a frosty look with the sword. The striking bit for me with the last pic though, is that the sisters of silence seem to be taller than. the old marines.

Is the cape freehanded ?

Thank you Viterbi, there was some indecision about putting the cloak on him but glad I did.

Thank you TH, I am trying for a small unified force of UM and some imperial agents, not sure if it will do well on the tabletop but for a narrative game it could work.

Yeah it is surprising how much larger the sisters are when next to the old marines. Even the custodes seems a bit small standing next to the MW lt.

I would love to say yes, but... it is part of the cape. And a bugger to paint, .

I am having a bit of painter burn out will sift thru what there is built and see what strikes my fancy.

Thank you for looking.

Something Eldar perhaps?

@Gitz took a look thru the pile of grey Eldar but nothing jumped out at me. Came across Kharne though and the heretic in my said, “Yeah that’s the ticket!” I’ve entered him in the monthly painting challenge hoping to stay motivated.

Thanks for looking.

Ohhh, well, if that leads to more heresy then so be it.

Cool, Kharne is a great choice. Will he have much pre-heresy armour showing through or be full on khorne red?

Looking forward to seeing Kharn painted up!

Day late and a dollar short, as they say. Love the Custodes captain; he looks fantastic. Looking forward to seeing paint on Kharn.

. I figured you would approve.

I am going full on red, was tempted to paint him in the heresy era armour but since I’ve not had a lot of time to paint lately red is quicker.

. Thank you Warboss appreciate the kind words. Kharne is getting a bit more paint.

Here is round 2 of the paint splatter. Really need to look into other metallics my GWs seem to seperate rather quickly and don’t cover well.

I have some alcohol-based metallics that are outstanding (best gold I've ever seen), but they are a PITA to work with.

Well on his way to killing, maiming and burning. Blue tassels are a nice touch.

Looking good Yorkright, nice and evil

Very nice work so far! The touch of blue is an excellent compliment to the red and gold.

Love the progress on Kharn, there's a lot of pent-up energy in that mini

Thank you all! Life’s been busy so have not had much time for painting or dakka. Here is an updated picture of Kharn, pretty happy how he’s coming along.

yeah that is a snazy kharn.

Really good and I love the contrasting colours, they really pop

Oh, nice! Kharne looks really good.

Love that! Really nice work on Kharn Yorkright. You nailed him.

Yorkright,

Yes, GW metallic colors do separate and make for poor coverage. I shake mine really well after doing a stir with a coffee stirrer the handle the issue.

My two cents,

CB

Good progress Yorkright, and regarding metallics, the Vallejo Metal Color line is superb and you can mix your own metallics from them.

. Thank you Captain Brown. Though I do shake them well never thought about a stir stick.

. Thank you TH. I’ve got some Vallejo air paints will try them out.

Added a tuft to the base and am calling him done. Again thanks for the input and the kind words.

Wow! Kharn came out fantastic! The red and gold came out real nice and the spot of blue finishes him off nicely!

You nailed Kharn in all his glory Yorkright, stunning work.
