Brother Tancred Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Hi guys, been thinking about re-doing my DA army for a while and after going through some of my collection I found some terminators and land speeders so thought I'd revisit the boys in green. Hope to have some guys painted up soon but here is my chaplain I've had on my painting desk for some time. http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/oo73/CallumM27/DSCN0421.jpg http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/oo73/CallumM27/DSCN0423.jpg http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/oo73/CallumM27/DSCN0424.jpg Thanks for looking and any advice on painting or collecting would be welcome :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adeptus-Alaska Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Awesome chaplain. I just love this two-hand crozius craze right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DucAvieux Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 That's a great model, it has a lot of character. The paintjob, especially on the fabrics, is marvelous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EPK Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Well done! Great pose! Will you be painting the base - I think it needs a splash of color. Maybe just some dry brushing of grays (if you want it to stay dark). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Tancred Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 Thanks everyone for all the comments, Well done! Great pose! Will you be painting the base - I think it needs a splash of color. Maybe just some dry brushing of grays (if you want it to stay dark). yeah I plan to paint the base a muddy brown so that the model isn't too grey and flat. I plan to have some Deathwing terminators and tactical marines painted soon so more to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Tancred Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Just finished building my first tactical squad of the army (I plan to build another one shortly with all plasma :) ) http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/oo73/CallumM27/DSCN0448.jpg And here are the terminators and dreadnoughts I've found, how I let myself get so many and not do anything with them I can't say but they'll be Deathwing now <_< http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/oo73/CallumM27/DSCN0446.jpg At the moment there is from left to right: Squad 1: Powersword/storm bolter Cyclone missile/storm bolter/powerfist 2 chainfist/storm bolter powerfist/storm bolter Squad 2: 4 powerfist/storm bolter powerfist/heavy flamer Squad 3: 3 thunderhammer/storm shield 2 lightning claws Squad 4: Powersword/storm bolter powerfist/assault cannon 2 chainfist/storm bolter powerfist/storm bolter I'm debating whether to try and cut some of the arms off of the powerfist guys to build more TH/SS and LCS to mix the squads up a bit. More to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Tancred Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 First update for the ETL vow: http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/oo73/CallumM27/DSCN0449.jpg http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/oo73/CallumM27/DSCN0451.jpg http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/oo73/CallumM27/DSCN0452.jpg http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/oo73/CallumM27/DSCN0450.jpg http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/oo73/CallumM27/DSCN0453.jpg Just need to undercoat the rest of it and start painting ;) Cheers, Brother Tancred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Brother Tancred, very cool vow, looking forward to some more images, however, if that chaplain is anything to go by, these guys are going to be fantastic. That dude is awesome and very fierce lookin', like he's found a couple of Fallen he's been looking for and now someone's getting their battle plate torn wide open! Keep us updated! Edit: BTW, yay for drilled out bolter bores! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Tancred Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 Cheers for the comment Bryan, I really enjoyed painting the model and it ultimately was the reason I started this army. Here is a quick update on the squad sergeant: http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/oo73/CallumM27/DSCN0455.jpg http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/oo73/CallumM27/DSCN0456.jpg http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/oo73/CallumM27/DSCN0457.jpg Still needs a little more work on the base and touch ups but almost complete.

Brother Tancred Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hi folks, been a couple of weeks but managed to do a little more on the tactical squad http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/oo73/CallumM27/DSCN0461.jpg http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/oo73/CallumM27/DSCN0462.jpg I also decided to start a deathwing terminator: http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/oo73/CallumM27/DSCN0465.jpg I was really unsure about painting him cream but now that I have, I like it. Really stands out in the army and makes a nice change from painting green ;) Cheers for looking and more to come, Brother Tancred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I don't know how I missed this :) Looking fantastic so far. My only comment would be that the plasma cannoner's face looks a little bland and the termies partchment on his rh shoulder has been washed a little heavily but it might be the photos. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isiah Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Brother Tancred you have an incredibly smooooooooth clean painting style. Models are looking excellent – lovin' the squad sergeant particularly – but all have bags of character. Cheers I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I really like the scheme you have for your DW SS, nice contrasts and tie in with the shoulder shield. Nice dark green on the PAS too. Cool little force. stobz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sviar Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I was really unsure about painting him cream but now that I have, I like it. Really stands out in the army and makes a nice change from painting green :P @ Brother Tancred, may I ask what colour you used for the Terminator. By the way these are some very good looking minis.

Brother Tancred Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Thanks for all the positive comments guys, really encouraging :D I was really unsure about painting him cream but now that I have, I like it. Really stands out in the army and makes a nice change from painting green :P @ Brother Tancred, may I ask what colour you used for the Terminator. By the way these are some very good looking minis. Sviar Of course mate, I've used the old foundation paint dheneb stone as the base as I have a couple of pots still. I then wash the recessed areas with agrax earthshade to create depth. I touch up any pooled areas of wash with dheneb stone again and finish by mixing some white to the base colour for a highlight, about 3:1 dheneb stone:skull white. Though if you can't get any of the old paint GWs paint converter suggest Rakarth Flesh as a good substitute to dheneb stone. Hope this helps, I'll try and get some more pictures up tonight when I have a chance to paint :D Cheers, Brother Tancred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
