First model WIP: Commander-Chaplain Bruce Willis Shepard Furious McChargingTon haven't-thought-of-a-name-yet, recently promoted to leadership of the strike force after his old captain got killed in an attack that also blew off half his armor (and face). He's armed with an ancient relic axe, because croziuses aren't choppy enough, and a power fist with built-in underslung melta (Reclusiarch with pfist, infernus pistol).





I used Huron Blackheart's torso and axe arm, along with Death Company bits for everything else and heavy green stuffing (especially on the waist join, and the melta mount/tube-feed). I got the idea to use a chainsword engine for the mount off one of Ron's projects at From The Warp - right now I'm just waiting on some washes I ordered from Secret Weapon (www.secretweaponminiatures.com, also where I got the base from) so I can wash/weather down the yellow plating, and then start doing all the highlights/details/battle damage.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436027/4021848.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436027/4021848.page GMT




First time I've tried to do paint damage/wear, might not be that great but I think it turned out ok.



I'm pretty proud of the underslug melta conversion and how I got it to look, in the end.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436027/4026098.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436027/4026098.page GMT id maybe water it down a little bro cant wait to see more though i love the warp look on them ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436027/4026153.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436027/4026153.page GMT
He's going to lead up a squad of 6 Death Company, 5 with power weapons and 1 with another fist - riding in a Stormraven with a DC dread (that I plan on converting up from the Forge World Ironclad with dual chainfists). Lots of opportunity for squad characterization and making every model tell its own story.

Only a very minor comment on the paint job, the parchment of the purity seals looks a bit too white, maybe needs a Devlan Mud wash or something?

Otherwise excellent stuff, can't wait to see more.

Either way, looks good!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436027/4026699.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436027/4026699.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436027/4026861.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436027/4026861.page GMT
For now, here's a shot of the Commander-Chaplain and two of the Death Company.



And a single shot of him in a much more menacing pose.



I changed out his melta-fist for a pointing one after I realized you couldn't take both a pfist and infernus pistol as wargear options. :( And I swapped the axe haft for one from the Sanguinary Guard kit - all in all, I like the way he looks now much more.



(bad picture, I know) My death company are all going to have helmet ornamentation similar to iron haloes - there're a few in the Sang Guard kit, but I really wanted to use a beakie helmet, so I ended up chopping up a servo-skull and splicing some bits together. I really like the way it looks.

I love doing the freehand, too - the check marks on the armor/left shoulder, as well as tally marks/writing on purity seals and other areas. To tie the entire squad together, they all have the same squad marking somewhere on their armor (a red stripe/pad with two diagonal white stripes), as well as my army's strikeforce symbol of a winged heart..



And some models pending paintjobs! From left to right, a jump librarian, another death company guy, and a veteran assault sergeant.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436027/4244122.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/436027/4244122.page GMT
