One-eye Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Many thanks for the comments ! The second one received a base : Only 3 to go to finish the squad ! I hope I'll be able to keep that pace (and finish Oberon, & complete the chaplain challenge^^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marius Perdo Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Love the posing on the experienced one. Looks like he is using hand singles to order his combat squad to hold poistion. Although I am assuming he is the guy leading the second combat squad. I wondered when the FW bolters would make an appearance :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disruptor_fe404 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Love Oberon. That is all. Actually, no, that's not all. Good to see you're back in the saddle on this too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L30n1d4s Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Exceptional work. I particularly appreciate that you have made your chapter so unique, yet still done in such a quality manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yellow Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Looking good man, Any updates on Captain Kay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-eye Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 Many thanks for the comments ! @ Marius : he is actually telling the squad to hold position (I mean it was the desired effect^^). But he's not the combat squad leader, it's the unhelmeted one. @ Lamenter : been away from home for 2 weeks, there's no updates unfortunately . And my priority is now the chaplain kitbash, to be on time with Grotsmasha deadline. I began today with selecting legs from the death cie (I really like them and I feel that the parchment loin cloth is mandatory for chaplains). I picked a templar incesory, trimed the drop gem & put the purity seal in its place. 1st stage completed ^^ Sorry for the bad pictures, but it's not that important for conversions. Stay tuned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Angel Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Everything looks perfect as usual. Where did you get the vets shoulder pad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-eye Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 Thanks war Angel. Are you speaking of the marine with the "hold on hand" ? His shoulder pad is from anvil industry. They look like the company champ shoulder, but smaller. A bit more work on the chaplain. After a long hesitation, I chose one of the Raven guard vet torso : chapter symbol + bird skull will make it for a Phoenix Knight chaplain. I cut a skull shoulder pad from an old (late 90's) metal chaos termie. Old figures are smaller and it seems it won't be oversized. I also cut the PF from the commander sprue to fit with the skull shoulder. What a Crozius doesn't manage to crush will fall under the powerfist might ! And the right arm of the DV chaplain is finally selected. I filled the gap between PF and shoulder with a skull trophy ; a bit of greenstuff to attach it to the shoulder, a purity seal and it's ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vourne Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Beautiful thread, One-eye. Your models are gorgeous. One of the best DIY chapters I've ever seen. I love the chapter banner and command squad, and I can't wait to see Oberon once he's finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Nice looking chaplain. Are you going for a bare head or the traditional skull helmet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathwing70 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 that pose is going to turn out awesome, I can already imagine it.. like "hey you! *points with Crozius* I'm going to smack you with my fist!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One-eye Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 @ War Angel : indeed ! that's the main reason why I'm not painting Captain Oberon ! @ Vourne & ChicoDaSatanic : thanks guys, it's men like you that keep me motivated @ Anaziel : I will go for a skull helmet. I feel they are too emblematic of chaplains to keep them aside. I have 2 possibilities, will show you soon. @ Deathwing70 : you nailed it. it's exactly what I'm looking for ! A few updates. The DV chaplain shoulder pad has also a skull in it, which makes competition with the one on the other side. And it's too small btw. So I kept only the hand & found a new arm + shoulder (with chapter symbol). For the Crozius head, I'm hesitating between a classic one (eagle) or a DW knight mace. I'm leaning towards the mace, looks more like a weapon & is more original. But the eagle shouts "bow to the Emperor or kiss my fist" What do you guys prefer ??

Deathwing70 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I'm gonna go with the Crozius... ehm I mean Eagle head (see I don't even consider the spiked ball a Crozius). But I like the classic stuff. To me there are 3 things that 'make' a Chaplain: 1 - the Crozius, he carries it everywhere, it's his badge of office. As you say, the mace/ball looks more like a weapon. I can't imagine him carrying it around preaching to the marines at the lunch table... unless he cooked maybe... 2 - a Rosarius, I'm guessing the bird skull can be just that. 3 - skulls! The head of the Crozius does allow for a little more customization though I'm not really up to knowledge of other Phoenixguard / Ravenguard bits out there that might fit.

One-eye Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 I finished the job ! Let me introduce you Kael Jaqen, Ashes Priest of the Phoenix Knights, member of the high council of the 2nd expeditionary fleet. First I followed your inputs and chose the crozius Second, I wanted to achieve an original head, even if the DV chaplain one was a really good alternative. So it's built on Khârn's, bunny ears and hanging decorations removed. I then cut in half a banner top decoration to give the punisher style helmet small wings, to match Phoenix K. visual and give it a small gallic touch . The backpack is an old Azrael metal one with a DK staff top. I've magnetised the backpack to give him a Jetpack if needed (and Korvy's is just great for that, thanks Marius ) More views soon on Grotsmasha's thread.
