In which Lemmy stops formatting posts from Pixelfed in the same way that it always has before.

He's the classic metal version. I think I got him from eBay decades ago and only was ready to paint him up now that he's been pushed out.

I've also got a metal Corbulo that I think was from the same second hand lot. I'll probably get to him when the new Sanguinary Priest drops.

Edit: spelling

Lol, more that seeing the new guy reminded me thati had Chaplain-with-Ball-Gag at home. It's a timeless look, apparently!

Good suggestion. If I do a "real" one I think a transfer or two could help that.

A bit slapchop.

I primed it Army Painter black, grey and grey/blue dry brush to make the edges stand out, heavier dry brush plus white dry brush on places to be red or gold.

Reds: Flesh Tearer contrast then another dry brush of Evil Suns Scarlet

Gold: Garaghaks Sewer, Army Painter Greedy Gold

Bone: Reaper Ion Soot (grey), Sepia Wash

Rounded out with: Sir Coates Silver, Guilliman Flesh, Magos Purple, Prismatic Bolt Speed Paint, Army Painter Strong Tone

They were mainly a color test, but I'm pretty tickled with the results.

It's the Relic Envoy from GW's Cities of Sigmar, but where he is meant to be holding a sheathed sword I swapped in an AdMech rifle.

The setting is grimdark WWI with demons and plenty of crusades influence so adding guns and gas masks to AoS minis seems to work well.

If anything, the blindfold is just an aesthetic because I wasn't sure how to do empty eye sockets:

"These devotees of the Church blind themselves ritually as a devotion to God and use only their faith to strike the enemies of the Church. During the Siege of St. Lux stories were told of a sniper priest killing a target 3 miles away"

Not yet, but she's such a fun character that I jumped at the chance to paint her.

Turns out that finger is where the ursus claw fires from all along.

 

Someone asked about how the backdrop book looked with epic scale minis so I did a fun little photo shoot. I only have the one rhino at that scale and only the one bit of terrain to pose it on.

These books and some new ones are on Kickstarter for another day or so:

Aeldari Rangers

Testing out a new Lemmy client instead of cross-posting right from PixelFed.

One of my goals for this year is to finish more of the projects I left in various states previously. Since I am about to do some Aeldari Kill Teams I grabbed the Rangers off the shelf where they had been assembled, primed, and only got as far as the yellow earlier.

After these guys I started to do combo bone/black weapons because it seemed to dull this way. I might retouch the faces later, "rosy" ended up just "pinky".

Fun dynamic poses and it feels nice to finish them up after a long delay.

They will need some toxic slime on the bases to really sell it.

C&C welcome!

 

Finished the last piece for the new Necron combat patrol right before picking up Leviathan.

On to some Tyranids next!
