Just a little WIP of one of my Incursors. Really happy with how the squads shaping up. The Phobos marines have really grown on me, it's a shame the Flesh Tearer's aren't particularly sneaky though haha!

[Vermintide]

Outstanding!

 

I've always really liked the Phobos look, my only objection is I think the Incursors/Infiltrators both have a little too much clutter with all those optics and antenna.

Yeah I agree, they could be a little smaller, more subdued for sure. I wasn't a fan of the big bulky scope on the Incursor carbine which is why I used the Infiltrator ones, but it just added more!

Incredible paint jobs.

[Warhead01]

Your painting is just amazing. I love all the flesh tones, eyes and teeth. I need to work much much harder now. The crazy eyed bearded terminator is just killer!

Chaplain Orsin, newly assigned to the Flesh Tearers 2nd Company post-Devastation of Baal by High Chaplain Apollus himself.

 

Finished up my Indomitus Chaplain last night after about a week or so of a painting. Chuffed with how he came out, and really nice to sit down and enjoy painting a single model and not working my way through a squad batch painting. First time using some of the Scale 75 metallic range and was really impressed with them. I had to do the head swap because as cool as the bare head is on the original model, a chaplain should always have a skull helm in my eyes. It's such an iconic feature of them. Plus it means I can use that head somewhere else!

 

I've really got back into the groove painting wise and have already got the next project on my desk, some more assault intercessors to bulk my two squads out, and then a small squad of six Hellblasters to give me some sort of ranged bite. I've worked out a 1000 point list too and would like to get some peoples opinions on it at some point, I'll post it at a later date. It mainly just encompasses what I have painted but would be nice to get advice on warlord traits, relics etc. I haven't played a game of 40k since 3rd Edition so I'm still very much learning tabletop wise.

 

I also realised I never posted any finished squad pics of my Terminators or Incursors so I'll get those up at some point too.

 

Oh, and before I forget, I treated myself to a little something, this should be next after the Intercessors and Hellblasters...

There really is something in your clean way of painting, brother The Chaplain came out excellent. I really like the purple cloth - it adds to the sinister feel any Chaplain should have. Totally agree on the skull-helmet. And oh, those small aquilas!! But I think i like the iron soles of his boot the most - superb touch!

Hah! The metallic soles is just something I've always done without really thinking about it, but a fair few people comment on it. I find it just gives a nice little bit of separation and picks the feet out a little. 

 

Thanks for the kind words dude!

Amazing work. The handle of the crozius, the scrolls, everything looks fantastic. Clean highlights and the colors are working together perfectly.

How do you do the script on your purity seals?  I love the tiny details like the aquilas and stamps.

Thanks man!

 

The little stamps, skulls and aquilla's are actually off the Indomitus transfer sheet I think, they're tiny so you really have to hunt for them. As long as you apply them right and then shade the area after they settle in quite well.

 

The tiny bits of gothic lettering are off a transfer sheet a guy here on B&CS was selling a while back. I'm not sure if they're still in stock though.

Nice work on the chappie! Painting looks very crisp and the glowing eyes really completes the overall model!

 

Just wondering what colour do you use for painting the handle? Seems like the same one that GW uses but I can't for the life of me find the colour reference anywhere! 

[Doghouse]

Really nice work, easily one of my favourite projects on the board.

Thanks man! Your firstborn marines look amazing so that's some high praise!

So the recipe for the Crozius handle from memory was:

Basecoat VMA Gory Red (Or Khorne Red)
Recess line the handle with Flesh Tearers Red/Black Templar contrast about 70/30.
Tidy up the diamond faces with the base coat.
Highlight every diamond edge with Wazdakka (This took forever)
Highlight the top halves of each diamond with Evil Sunz Scarlett.
Dot highlight of Wild Rider Red on each top point of the diamonds.

Cheers dude, hopefully I'll have some more up soon!

Thanks! Really appreciate the detailed explanation and the diamond edging work you've done really shows! Definitely worth the time and effort you put into it.

Excellent work on the Chaplain. Where'd you get the fanged skull helm?

Thanks Bjorn! It's actually just a head swap from the Blood Angels jump-pack chaplain.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Thank you for the information.
