Brother Sanvael Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Due to losing a "work in progress" figure case containing some half finished models, I needed some motivation to replace them. So I finally decided to stop lurking on here and actually sign myself up to the LPC. Of the two Sanguinary priests I needed to replace, one uses parts from the command sprue and death company box while the other is the standard metal marine apothecary. Now I dislike the old metal model, but I'm out of apothecary arms for now, so he'll do until I can build a replacement. http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n621/Sinaath_Sanvael/BandC%20LPC/IMG_0151.jpg This one I prefer much more, and he matches the other Sanguinary Priest I have built. http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n621/Sinaath_Sanvael/BandC%20LPC/IMG_0150.jpg http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n621/Sinaath_Sanvael/BandC%20LPC/IMG_0149.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zincite Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Very nice, the second one has a very heroic feel to him. And though the first is rather old, he has a look to him that suggests he's just stood up from extracting the Gene-Seed from a fallen battle brother. Or whatever you Blood Angels do. Just noticed that the Black figure Isn't just a Astoroth model... It looks awesome!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Sanvael Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 I've been a bit slack in posting the WIP shots, the mini's are completed but I'll put up the progress shots first http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n621/Sinaath_Sanvael/BandC%20LPC/IMG_0156.jpg The red was done first using an airbrush coat of Mechrite red over a black undercoat, followed by another airbrush of 1:1 Mechrite and Blood red, Recesses were done with a watered down scorched/chaos black mix, then an edge highlight first of pure blood red then of blazing orange. Finally a wash of thinned baal red to bring everything together http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n621/Sinaath_Sanvael/BandC%20LPC/IMG_0155.jpg I painted the drop pod in two halves, just for ease of handling. http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n621/Sinaath_Sanvael/BandC%20LPC/IMG_0157.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Sanvael Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Vow complete. The first of the two Sanguinary Priests. http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n621/Sinaath_Sanvael/BandC%20LPC/IMG_0194.jpg The second priest, I still don't like the model, but it will do for now. http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n621/Sinaath_Sanvael/BandC%20LPC/IMG_0190.jpg So that completes the set, and heres a picture of all three. http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n621/Sinaath_Sanvael/BandC%20LPC/IMG_0197.jpg And finally, the completed Drop Pod. Apologies for the yellow light in the photo, it's making a mess of the red. http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n621/Sinaath_Sanvael/BandC%20LPC/IMG_0184.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Nugz Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Looking good so far, how many models in total are you painting for the challenge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonidus Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Great painjobs! I especially like the old-school apothecary model and your power weapons look awesome btw! Whats your recipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Styphus Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 It's amazing how big a difference 23 minutes can be... I'm digging that oldschool metal apothecary. I'm sorry you don't like it though. The aquilla on his sword needs highlights. The one in the center has them, and the other's swords didn't seem to get as much attention.

onipunk Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 For some reason I love that old-school apothecary... you've made me want to make a Sanguinary Priest out of one now :) Good job, that red looks fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ragnarok Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Gorgeous models! Love the ratio of red to white and the power swords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehfull Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Hello ! Nice models ! Can you say wich colors do you use for the power swords ? I think about hawk turquoise but I'm not sure... Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Sanvael Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 The power weapons are done using the 'eavy metal masterclass method for Space Wolves. That is, after a base of regal blue, hawk turquoise lines were added, followed by a glaze of hawk turquoise over the whole weapon. Succesive higlights are added using bleached bone and after each higlight, a glaze of the same mixture is applied to the whole model. Anyway this is the army as it stands http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n621/Sinaath_Sanvael/Blood%20Angels/IMG_0200.jpg The HQ choice is the Sanguinor, from the white dwarf pictures he looked very 2 dimensional, but once built he is actually very dynamic in appearance http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n621/Sinaath_Sanvael/Blood%20Angels/IMG_0204.jpg Death Company in a drop pod, I've enjoyed using this unit as a distraction while everyone else gets closer, drop 10 frothing loons into the heart of the enemy and let them do whatever they like. http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n621/Sinaath_Sanvael/Blood%20Angels/IMG_0205.jpg Backbone of the force is the two assault squads http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n621/Sinaath_Sanvael/Blood%20Angels/IMG_0201.jpg http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n621/Sinaath_Sanvael/Blood%20Angels/IMG_0202.jpg And finally, because the models are just so damned nice, the army is rounded out by a squad of Sanguinary Guard http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n621/Sinaath_Sanvael/Blood%20Angels/IMG_0203.jpg It's now time for me to go back over all the little details I've managed to miss, add transfers and just some small tidying up to do, and then on to the next project.
