Looking nice mate - keep it up.

 

:)

[Augustus b'Raass]

Stunning. Just stunning. Can't wait to see them based and complete. 

[Kizzdougs]

Great stuff! We're all eagerly waiting to see what you paint next (please be Sharn, please).

[chaplain mortis]

@Pyromancer..thanks mate and hopefully they will look even better when based..cheers for replying

 

@DSS7..thanks so much for your kind words..cheers mate

 

@Atia..that comment made me chuckle..never really thought about them looking like clowns..but now I come to think of it, red, white and blue mix is very circus hehe..thanks for replying.

 

@November..thank you very much sir!

 

@Augustus...hope to have those termies based at the weekend..be nice to have them 100% done..thanks again for replying

 

@Kizzdougs..thanks again for replying. .and yep sharn is up on the painting block next..bit scared to paint him up lol

 

Right...here is an extremely W.I.P mock up of RAASS...legs are being changed for mkiv legs..left hand changed to hold a plasma pistol..lot of moldline cleaning. .not sure wether to add a combat weapon to the right arm, he has 2 chain blades as it is..

Im just hoping it all fits on the 40mm base as looking abit crowded at the moment.

 

Once again thanks for looking

Apothecary is on hold at the moment, the rite of war I want to use only allows one consul and have him already, might turn the apothecary into an objective marker on 60mm base..

 

In the meantime I have been working on building models for vow 3, which will include a second contemptor and a 3 man command squad

Knocked together the first 2 while waiting for brass etch and rod for the standard bearer.

The helmets are just place holders at the moment as want to try the new world eaters helmets or mkv with the studs shaved off..that way it reduces the "reavers" look of the models

 

Once again thanks for looking

[Augustus b'Raass]

Love 'm! I hope you didnt post anything that's been deleted by the recent errors ?!?!?!

[chaplain mortis]

So the ETL is finished! And what fun that was...didnt manage to get half the amount of Worldeaters done that I wanted....but it did open up the opportunity to start work on another legion...which in turn has made it harder to stick with one legion.

 

So after much consideration I have decided to just paint what I feel like and using the generic "ASTARTES" rules, fit them all into one army list...easier for helping me sleep at night haha..

 

Anyhoo..here is what I got up to in the ETL

Thanks for looking

[Iron Hands Fanatic]

Damn, theys some fine Iron Hands - awesome work

[Kizzdougs]

Brilliant Iron Hands! The weathering on the breacher shields is particularly impressive. I wish I knew how to weather like that... I guess I'll just have to stick with the clean and shiny III Legion.

[Augustus b'Raass]

Stunning IH mate. Very gritty looking - like they've churned through months of trenches. :tu:

[Chaeron]

Love the weathering - superbly cohesive.

[chaplain mortis]

Really wanted to try out an Alpha Legion scheme...wish they had decals out for them as would add a nice final touch!

 

Thanks for looking

[deathspectersgt7]

Good looking Iron Hands . What  happened to the Apothecary?

[Candleshoes]

Fantastic metal work on the Alpha Legionnaire!

[Telhdrat]

He's a bit brighter than what I'd imagine an Alhpa Legionaire to look like, but still looks great!

[chaplain mortis]

@Dss7...cheers mate..the iron hands got sold lol...as for the apothecary, still debating wether to have him and wounded marine as an objective marker.

 

@candleshoes...cheers mate..nothing special..just silver and nuln oil..cheers

 

@Telhdrat..thanks mate..yer bit brighter than the official scheme..was gonna have this as the "Mortis/Alpha" approved scheme..

 

Finally finished my praetor! Was a joy to paint and probably the best mini I have achieved.

[Chaeron]

He's glorious - too right, you can definitely be proud of him!

[Kizzdougs]

Awesome work Mortis!! I've been waiting to see this BAMF painted up. You should be really proud of the results you have achieved, a really inspiring piece.

The weathering/blood splattering is perfect! I really wish I could achieve the same effect.

Can't wait for some more

[Augustus b'Raass]

Wow! Lookimg like a winner,mortis! Great work :tu:

[daemonclaw]

why he certainly is a mucky pup

chainaxe clogged with gore ,i think he needs some WD40

great work bro and the backdrop sets it off nicely

[Telhdrat]

Perfect. That's the only way to describe him. Really awesome work, brother!

 

Is that Khârn's helmet he has?

[DietOfLiquor]

I love it when white gets pulled off well, and you sir hit it spot on. Terrific work!

[chaplain mortis]

@Chaeron...many thanks for such a positive comment..much appreciated and thanks for taking the time to respond.

 

@Kizzdougs...again, thanks for taking the time to reply with such comments...as a big fan of your painting it means alot...anytime you want any advice on weathering techniques, more than happy to help with what limited knowledge I have...though you do paint "clean" sooo well lol..cheers again

 

@Raass...where the hell you been brother? Haven't seen your name around for a few weeks..good to see you back! Thanks again for taking the time to look and comment and for all the suggestions and help with the build of capt sharn..mucho appreciated!

 

@Daemonclaw...many thanks for commenting mate...think its a bit late for a drop of oil on that chainaxe haha..and yer, quite happy so far using these new backdrops! Makes the pics a bit more snazzy haha...

 

@Telhdrat...many thanks brother for your positive reply..one day I will have an army to rival yours haha...yep that is kharns helmet! Great sculpt but I found a bit tricky trying to get the shading right on some of the helmet details. .hope your painting is going well?

 

@Diet of liquor....thanks so much for taking the time to look and to leave a great reply! Always helps to let one know your doing something right. ..thanks again mate!

 

Time to crack on with the command squad now...then I must get on with troops...loads more troops

[DietOfLiquor]

What can I say, your World Eaters are inspiring!

[Chickenleg]

Woow the kingslayer is brutal, very nice blood.
