Captain Semper

Recommended Posts

@ Jasp: I'm amazed by this avalanche of creativity man! wow! You start a new mini-project on an almost weekly basis! And those Volkites look just fanastic - such nice minis... Let's see them in the colors of the DG soon! Remember, if you complete 6 units by the end of the period, you'll be eligible for the title of the Champion too! :)

 

Yeah I found some inspiration after being at a mental block for a couple of months.

 

But who knows I should have the second 7 man squad done by tomorrow and have the 3rd squad basecoated by tomorrow

So I sat down today once id sobered up (Epic night..) and made some headway with my toys, the Characters are all done (Though I may touch up the Chaplain a bit now...)

And a rear shot of them all, i do love the Master of Signal, even if I did steal his arm :D So many toys! Very happy with the Librarian too, pose came out as I envisaged after a bit of chopping, the Chaplain im less 100% on but I may tweak him...

Ok things look good...

 

@ Jasp: Really like your take on the DG - it's great how people interpret the torn and worn imagery of the DG - it's similar to the different takes on the SoH sea green. You gotta love this hobby! :lol: I'm marking you as complete - any chance on doing the bases?

 

@ Durfast: Don't worry about the pistol - he knows how to use it. ;) As a matter of fact this is my preferred pose: the minute he strikes with the sword! :lol:

 

@ Noserenda: Well, you did finish another three models - that makes you eligible for the title of Centurion and Chaplain! If/when you finish the Sicaran you'll have you six units and will be eligible for the title of Champion as well! ;)

 

Keep going guys!

 

Updated to this point!

@ Durfast: These look fantastic! I reaaaaaaaally want to do a SoH force but I'm so intimidated by the color scheme... biggrin.png

@ Jasp: Say Jasp, what are going to do for the Volkites? Are you going to color the coils in a bright color? That'll be a nice contrast to the worn look of the squad... And maybe add a little black and gold on the nozzle... I'll be damned if I understand the physics of these weaopons... laugh.png

+++ TRANSMISSION STARTS

REMINDER:

ALMOST 10 STANDARD TERRAN DAYS REMAINING TO CLAIM THE TITLE OF THE CHAPLAIN (DEC 15 IS THE DEADLINE).

THOUGHT OF THE DAY: ONLY IN DEATH DOES DUTY END

TRANSMISSION ENDS+++

Well after a long break due to RL and being distracted by 2 gorgeous contemptors (both built & painted) I've based my Praetor (despite him being painted 3-4 weeks ago) and almost finished the Cataphractii Command Squad, just highlights and bases to be done :) I won't be getting that Chaplain award but should still be able to make basic :)

Back in the saddle after a ridiculously hectic week and a half! Congratulations to those who have completed their vows already. There are some absolutely gorgeous paint jobs in this thread, and I am honoured to be counted amongst your number. poom, I am completely jealous of your white, mate. That Lightning looks stunning.

@ StruManChu: Your Champion sure looks great - add the (obligatory) splatter and you have yourself a true WE Consul! Not martking this as complete yet, I want to see the promised blood first! (Ok, you caught me, I'm reallly Khorne under the robes laugh.png). Good luck with the Contemptor!

Hopefully this update will sate your thirst, brother!

Presenting my completed and blood-splattered Champion of the XII Legion!

I'm really pleased with the way the blood splatter went on. It's just straight Tamiya Clear Red, which fortunately managed to not end up on the cream couch or the wooden floor that I was flicking it very near to. whistlingW.gif

But that's not all! I've been steadily working on some other bits and pieces, which I'm delighted to show you now!

My first of three Contemptors. He's not too far off done, just gotta finish off a few bits and give him his head, and then he'll be done.

Great idea SMC. Just a thought, and quite a hard one to pull off, but what if he is reaching to take the standard from the hands of his mortally wounded successor, who has fallen at his feet?

I really love this idea. As you say though, quite hard to pull off. I had a go while I was putting it together, and I couldn't make any of my existing bits work. The only thing I have that might work is one of the casualties from Angron's base, but I kinda want to save him for Angron.

As the deadline of the 15th approaches and Christmas steals all my money, I'm not going to be able to do it at this point, I don't think, but it's definitely something I want to seriously try later on. Thanks for the (utterly brilliant!) thought, Durfast! Your Reavers are brilliant, too.

To try and break up the constant painting of white that I've been doing pretty much since late August/early September, I had a crack at my Predator...

I've probably gone a little way further than I meant to on this, and I'm not 100% sold on the yellow. What do you guys think?

@ SMC: the Centurion is really impressive and the splatter worked out very well indeed. He sure does not care whence the blood flows! There is great progeress on the other two items too - keep going!

@ Durfast: They look fantastic - a big fan of the helmets if not of the sculpting of helmetless face... However you've done a great job for it, the whole squad is just supercool! I could mark it complete but I will wait for you to say so...

 

@ Russ Brother: The event ends on January 15, 2014. So you got until then. :)

I am so so envious of the ability you guys have to take such great pictures. Great work everyone.

 

My update as it is as follows!

 

Semper if you can update my entry, I'll have the Praetor, Tacticals + Drop Pod, and a Contemptor now as well.

 

I did clean up the Praetor a bit, and Lightning has been added. A theme carried across the Tacticals as well, both units are just needing basing and the ever possible touch ups.

 

Crop Praetor

 
I painted the Sergeant with both a Skull mask, and black (well what I call black) left shoulder to indicate his place in the unit.
 

Crop Tac Leader

 
The 10 Tacticals.
 

Crop Tacticals

 
An example of some of the lightning. As I mentioned I just cant seem to do the quality pictures, but I'll work on it. :]
 

Crop Top

 
My Apothecary Primus Medicae with Heavy Chainsword (Counts as Corbulo when running in 40K)

Seeker Strike Leader, my sons Avatar on the table.

Contemptor with Heavy Flamer, Meltagun, and in 40K, Blood Talons.

I mean it when I say I hate them, I'll get around to adding another 4 to the squad but they were horrible to manipulate into place, removing flash was impossible without causing damage to the connections and they are brittle.

 

They look great but I couldn't do another squad
