You should do a Pre-Heresy Lucius and count him as a Chaplain. It is only fitting from his desire for close combat. Linates of Hate I think reflects that quite a bit.

 

Get that other squad painted, that way you will have a legal army. :tu:

Wow, these guys are awesome. Tarvitz is amazing.

 

Where did you get that head from that you used on Sgt Demetrius?

 

That would be the Blood Angels Baal Predator driver head, I have about 5 kicking about somewhere.

Thanks for the comments all!

 

The purple on the armour is done thus:

1)A couple of thined coats of Hormagaunt puple on all armour areas,except for the recesses.

2)1 part hormagaunt purple/2 parts Warlock puple/1 part water all over the previous layer.

3)Add white to the previous mix for first stage highlights.

4)Add more white for second stage highlights.

Always keep your paint thin with water to get a smooth finish.

 

As Dam13n said,Sergeant Demetrius's head is from the Blood Angles Baal predator.

 

As for Lucius,i had in mind of using Ultramarines honour guard rules and models for Tarvitz's command squad and Lucius could be the Chapter champion but its a nice idea to use him as Chaplain too.

 

 

Cheers! :devil:

Here is the tutorial on how to paint the armour:

 

Step 1)

After the black undecoat the model gets a couple of thinned coats of Hormagaunt Purple.Taking care not to paint inside the recesses would be good but not necessary.

Step 2)

A coat of 1 part Hormagaunt Purple/2 parts Warlock Purple was painted over the previous one.Again,remember to thin your paint to get a smooth finish.Don't worry to much about covering parts other than the armour or the recesses,it will be taken care off in the next stage.

Step 3)

1 part Chaos Black/2 parts water are painted in the recesses,where the armour plates join,etc.Also all non purple areas are painted Chaos Black.

Step 4)

A mix of 1 part Hormagaunt Purple/2 parts Warlock Purple/1 part White is used as the first stage highlights.

Step 5)

A mix of 1 part Hormagaunt Purple/2 parts Warlock Purple/2 parts White is used as the second stage highlights.I use Vallejo white,but Skull White can also be used.

Step 6)

Brazen Brass and Boltgun metal are used for the metalic areas.Boltgun metal parts get a Black ink wash and a light overbrush of Chainmail.

Step 7)

Watered down Vallejo Brass is painted over the gold areas,then an equal parts Vallejo Brass and Mithril Silver highlight over it and finally a Gryphonne Sepia glaze over that.The eyes are painted Mordian Blue and highlighted by a 50-50 Mordian Blue and White.A single dot of White is added on the back of each eye.Squad number is painted with white and the Legion icon using the above tutorial.

Thats it then,hope it helps someone... ^_^ I didn't mention anything about the base because bases vary from army to army.If there are 2 things to remember,its 1)Always keep your paint thin and 2)Practise makes perfect.

 

 

Cheers!
