ThomKovacs Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Very cool, twin bolt pistols is awesome - though I think I prefer the dread marine too ;) I'm not sure but the boots look a bit wide? Edit: I hope you dont mind me posting a quick pic Karitas? I grabbed a magnetized marine with a dual bolt pistol combo - now if only I had the skill to GS some of those dreadlocks... http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3368/3474383378_1c07a82b85.jpg?v=1240690492 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166135-call-of-the-aobr-box/page/2/#findComment-1967228 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karitas Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 I don't mind remotely Thom ;) he's also very cool. And game wise, while he wont get to fire twice, he'll still get a second CC attack i think. The boots are a bit wide, leson learned there, i need to shave the "donor" foot down more before i start, It's certainly an interesting approach, and i like the "medeival" quality of the legs, in my mind its old, cheap power armour let's see what i can do to another poor victim :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166135-call-of-the-aobr-box/page/2/#findComment-1967253 Share on other sites More sharing options...

glsn Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 For mystics and sages you might want to look at the new imperial guard advisors. THe Astropath would make a good mystic, and the Master of Ordnance could be used as a sage.

Karitas Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 Thanks Grand Master, but i really am still learning. it's tricky stuff to work with tbh, too soft most of the time, too stockiy at first, hard to smooth, and these large res photos show every mistake, so you're very kind and i thanks you :huh: Glsn, i did look at those guys, and the sanctined psykers, and all the available retinues. i arrived at using a pair of these guys for sages http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Ordo%20Xenos/servitor1.jpg I agree that astropath would make a good mystic, i'm not planning on using one yet though. shame i dont still have the old Rogue trader "Rogue psyker" as he would have been ace :) Today i've made my first ever attempt at a coat, i know now i shoud have pared down the pads on the arms, and maybe even the whole arm, also there are details to add like piping and a few mistakes to touch up/redo like the odd little hole from pulling and the left heel where i "thumbed" it before it had set. anyway, comments appreciated, nay required :) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/Karitas/DSC_4177.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/Karitas/DSC_4178.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/Karitas/DSC_4175.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/Karitas/DSC_4179-1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166135-call-of-the-aobr-box/page/2/#findComment-1967865 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karitas Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 Ready yourselves, i have been modelling but as it wasnt on the coi i got guilty and stoped updating as much this thread ;) so this evening i present you with two updates, ish. Karitas' COI Update May 10th A little progress at last. I've been distracted by the notion of a DH army, and in the mood to build rather than paint, the labours of which can be seen here for those inclined to view ;) The result of this is a AOBR box worth of marines assembled and unpainted. so today i decided to crack on and paint my Dread, never done one of this model of dread before (last one i painted was pewter and had a face on it ;) ) it's a good model, and though it's not my best work it'll do for the table top http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/Karitas/DSC_4203.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/Karitas/DSC_4204.jpg the requisite light to take proper photos still eludes me. god forbid i might have to build a light box. hopefully now i can move on to the terminator squad and make some headway there. Karitas' not at all related to the COI Update May 10th for those disinclined to clik the linky to my blog above, here are some of the guys in various stages of WiP for my inquisitorial posse. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/Karitas/DSC_4186.jpg An elite inquisitor with a "psycannon". needs all GS doing, still blu taked to see if i like him :( [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/Karitas/DSC_4187.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/Karitas/DSC_4189.jpg another elite =][=, this one with "incinerator", again not GSed just tacked http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/Karitas/DSC_4190.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/Karitas/DSC_4195.jpg My =][= Lord, with a powersword and a LC, i think i like the LC more. again still tacked. all three of these guys will get cloaks or coats and the two elites still need shoulderpads etc. so you see i havent been totally idle. i've also got some FW servitors and servos skulls built, but nothing has happened to them yet that you cant see on FW's website so no pics :) cheers everyone, and as always comments well received.

Muller Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I just gotta say that I love your GS work so far... I really with I knew how to GS like that... :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/166135-call-of-the-aobr-box/page/2/#findComment-1984457 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vedrial Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I just wanted to give you some encouragement. I'm still in the planning stages of building an Inquisitor Lord with full retinue, and your work is inspiring me. I'm really seeing just how much potential the Inquisitor offers to show off unique and individual models to make an army so much more exciting. Thanks!!! I'll be looking forward to more updates on the blog!!

Florida Gator Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I'm sorry but i just gotta say your greenstuffing skills are amazing and you came up with some conversions i would never even think of.

Karitas Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 Wow threadomancy and it wasnt me! :P Thanks guys, I thought in light of this new attention I'd repost some stuff from the =][= forums, so apologies to those who have seen this, but i know lots of people don't delve beyond this forum, I didnt use to. I've been busy since my last post in the WiP forums, partly shame at failing my call, partly other distractions, but I've pretty much finished the build on this army now, just the Daemonhosts and two chimeras to go ( then ofc my orcs to sort, and an IG detachment to build etc etc) So here is the current state of my Lord http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/Karitas/DSC_4307.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/Karitas/DSC_4308.jpg actually he's primed now, but that's all. I'll paint him last, He's my reward for doing all the troops. speaking of which, my first squad look kinda like this http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/Karitas/DSC_4335.jpg I've painted one or two other guys like .... This Elite =][= http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/Karitas/DSC_4337.jpg and this Assasin http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/Karitas/DSC_4316.jpg And some there are two more squads in "green" states thus - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/Karitas/DSC_4299.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/Karitas/DSC_4300.jpg Thats my plasma Squad, I thought theyd better look like nutters :) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/Karitas/DSC_4295.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/Karitas/DSC_4296.jpg and this lot are my versatile Professional soldiers :) another Elite =][= http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/Karitas/DSC_4290.jpg I've built two of the chimeras too, but we all know what those look like, I'll post those once they are painted. Theres a lot more pictures of each model on My Blog if you're interested, and once I get paint on I'll be sure to post here if there's still interest in a Call failure's work. what can I say, I just got sucked in by these guys. I'm quite happy with them so far, but i'm anxious as to how theyll play against MEQ.
