Charlo's WIP Thread - ZOAT!

Recommended Posts

Been busy with life/ lacking motivation/ planning my Heresy Death Guard but today I took some time to focus back on my Angels and started:

 

THE NINE HAND FLAMER VANGUARD VETERAN SQUAD!

I tried to get a few of the major armour marks in there and also tried to avoid mixing them where appropriate so here is a little gallery for each:

 

Mk3 Artificer Sergeant:

Bitz are from:

  • FW Mk3 Armour
  • Blood Angels Tac Squad
  • Death Company
  • FW Legionary Hand Flamers
  • Black Templar Upgrade Sprue
  • MaxiMini Silver Wing Jump Packs
  • FW Space Marine Character Upgrade Kit
  • Sanguinary Guard

I made some hand flamers out of bits and Angelus bolters that I think looked quite cool and to add some more variety :smile.:

I like the angelus pattern hand flamers, but I think you should remove the drum mag and put the tank (or an additional tank) in its place. Maybe just put some half-spheres on the ends of the magazine and hide the visible casings with GS.

Aye could work better, Will see. Thanks for the input though!

Gentlemen... I come to you with something special this evening.

 

I have raided my collection of bits and I have finally achieved the vision of my Chapter Master: Charlo Hades.

 

On the tabletop he counts as Dante, but I feel even his rules may not be enough....

Not putting a jump pack on him yet... As he shall be Seth this weekend.

 

What head do we think ladies and gents?

 

He will be gold, but I think the Deathmask doesn't quite mesh as well with the brutality and scale of him....

If you can get hold of it, I personally think the head from Ivanus Enkomi would look great on him. Failing that, I would go with the death mask.

 

I don't know what it is about that third-party head you have on him, but the proportions feel just... off, at least to me. I like the direction it takes, but that specific head just looks a little odd to me (though it would, of course, look better with paint.)

 

In the end, though, it's your model. It's not my place to tell you what you can and cannot do with the Chapter Master of your own chapter, but you asked for opinions on the head, so I presented mine for you.

== ETL UPDATE 1: Building & Prep ==

 

 

Pretty much everything is ready to be sprayed! I've been chopping, clipping and gluing for the past few hours. Grav weapons are in place and I even made up a combi-grav! Totally realised that I had some winged front plates from the RW sprue I could've used on these bikes too after gluing though... May go back and update them, might keep them as they are so the different squads have personality... Who knows?

 

http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah177/nevscorner/20160522_171645_zpsh2e38isa.jpg

http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah177/nevscorner/20160522_171726_zps2663lihk.jpg

 

Managed to eliminate all of the bare heads to an appropriate level too, except Calistarius as I couldn't bring myself to get rid of his detail. I did however manage to lop a metal biker Chaplain's head off and actually take the helmet that is on his bike and put it where it should be, on his head! Also gave him a Power-Fist:

 

http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah177/nevscorner/20160522_171835_zpsaspwu5oo.jpg

 

But I did give Calistarius a Combi-Plas:

 

http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah177/nevscorner/20160522_172007_zpsqjdmsfyj.jpg

 

And got rid of the buck-toothed-cubby-faced librarian with a Deathmask. Also custom Gallian's staff and Stormshield! This guy will be rolling Bio.

Seems like I need to order 3 Multi-Melta for my speeders too as my bits box has failed me... - but not an issue! The "Javelins" are also ready for some spray. I just need some hunter killer missiles for them - any suggestions?

 

With a little bit of luck the weather will hold until this evening and I'll be able to lay down the black on these guys.

Sooooo as you may or may not know, I didn't get much further than the above with my vow ;) oops!

 

But I'm back on the paint and doing some Skitarii as a change.

 

I bought a box of Skitarii the week they came out aaaaaand... Now finally I have almost finished painting them!
 
Very happy with the scheme overall, just need a new turquoise to finish the Arc/ Plasma/ Taser effects and to put the backpacks on.
 
Oh - and I officially love clear bases.
 
Enjoy the little video... It's Kingsman in the background - about to start one of the best scenes of all time...
 
 
Colours are:
 
Mephiston Red cloaks > Nuln Oil
Leadbelcher metals > Nuln Oil
Averland sunset > Reikland Flesh
Tinbitz > Agrax
 
White and blue glows are Altdorf blue with lahmian medium and whitescar!
 
It's pretty much all base paints with washes. I was going to go bright then decided I couldn't be bothered and they're better with a dirty look anyhow.

Oxide seems to work really well with the Mcragge Blue/ White/ Lahmean Medium/ Altdorf Guard Blue base layer I had to make a nice crisp Arc/ Plasma effect!


 


It covers the blue but leaves some white showing through on the raised areas.


 


Colour rounds off their overall palette nicely :happy.:

Little bit of an image dump to update this old thing... What I've been doing over the past couple months:

 

TALONS OF THE EMPEROR:

 

There is more than just bikes and Sisters, but Photobucket is a douchenozzle. All hail Imgur!

PRIMARIS TEST MINI 

 

My FLGC had an event requiring one Primaris each so I painted this guy up pretty quickly. Got two more to do for my RTS Vow too!

It was a bit of an experiment but very easy!

 

  1. Undercoat with Leadbelcher Spray can
  2. Highlight with Retributor Armour Spray can - a few light bursts from the top
  3. Cover the mini in old-school GW Red Ink (unsure of modern day equivalent...)
  4. Cover mini in Nuln Oil Gloss

The gloss wash is really awesome. Pools in all the right places and leaves a great sheen everywhere else.
