I'm guessing White Scar and Blood Angel? Either way, the poses are great

Exactly my thoughts. Are you going to do II and X! too?

I think he meant which company/chapter they're from (eg. Nassir Amit's, Salicar's or Raldoran's Blood Angels).

 

I initially thought the White Scar was another member of the Rout (must've been the fur and the knifes) till everyone it pointed otherwise. They both look really cool.

[Daemon2027]

The Night Lord looks brilliant dude.

[Dosjetka]

The White Scar looks a bit busy as he has a lot going on down his front. The Blood Angels (?) looks good though :tu:

[DuskRaider]

A Legionnaire of the XIVth cares not what his armour is, only that his Botler fires  and his blade is sharpened.

[hushrong]

Oh that Night Lord is awesome. The speed and quality you are churning out is fantastic. I am also looking forward to the newcomers. I am especially excited about the prospect of a blood angel. What did you use to make the "crown" on that second marine?

[KrautScientist]

This is possibly my favourite Heresy-related thread right now because every single model is just fantastic. I also really enjoy your ticking off all the legions in turn at the moment :) Please give us a picture of the finished ensemble so far as soon as possible, alright? ;)

[Athrawes]

I'm really looking forward to seeing the Blood Angel, but the Scar should be very exciting too! As for the Lightning Bearers, the base color is relatively Simple, Start with a base of Tamiya Grey (which is analogous to Administratum grey), give the model a light wash of nuln. Repaint the armor panels with administratum grey in 3-4 thinned layers, leaving the shade in the recesses. Edge highlight with 50/50 administratum and white. Final highlight on most prominent raised surfaced of white.

[dogfender]

Keep up the great work! Very inspiring stuff.

I am sure I'm not the only one who would enjoy some tutorials.

[sockwithaticket]

I know I'm a bit late the party, but that Night Lord!! Whenever I see such a perfect example I have to report to the Chaplain for a task of purification.

[Kizzdougs]

The Blood Angel is finished! I've taken some step by step pics of the paint job. I'll put them up in a separate post.

I've also made a start on the White Scar

Looking forward to it!

Hope you like the results, bro.

Spot on! Hope you like how they turned out.

 

 

I'm guessing White Scar and Blood Angel? Either way, the poses are great

I second this, nice conversion with the Scar's knifes.

 

Thanks, bro! I was looking through my spare SW bits for some appropriate kit for the WS and the knives looked perfect.

I'm going to paint up one of Athrawes' Lightning Bearers as the II Legion, but I'll probably leave the XI Legion spot blank.

 

I think he meant which company/chapter they're from (eg. Nassir Amit's, Salicar's or Raldoran's Blood Angels).

 

I initially thought the White Scar was another member of the Rout (must've been the fur and the knifes) till everyone it pointed otherwise. They both look really cool.

Yeah, he could easily be a member of the Rout. The only real clue to him being a WS was that I've already painted a SW test mini.

 

The Night Lord looks brilliant dude.

Thanks, dude! I'm really happy with how he turned out in the end.

 

The White Scar looks a bit busy as he has a lot going on down his front. The Blood Angels (?) looks good though

Yeah, he is definitely well equipped. Hopefully it looks a bit better once he is painted.

 

A Legionnaire of the XIVth cares not what his armour is, only that his Botler fires  and his blade is sharpened.

Hahaha, and that makes it even more difficult to decide build a characterful mini...

 

Oh that Night Lord is awesome. The speed and quality you are churning out is fantastic. I am also looking forward to the newcomers. I am especially excited about the prospect of a blood angel. What did you use to make the "crown" on that second marine?

Thanks, mate! The Blood Angel's 'crown' is from one of the new Stormcast Eternal minis (a Paladin Retributor to be exact).

 

This is possibly my favourite Heresy-related thread right now because every single model is just fantastic. I also really enjoy your ticking off all the legions in turn at the moment Please give us a picture of the finished ensemble so far as soon as possible, alright?

Thanks, bro! Glad you're enjoying the thread at the moment. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up the momentum.

Sounds good, bro! I'm planing to paint up a Veteran Tactical equivalent, so any suggestions concerning veteran/honour markings etc. would be appreciated. I'll definitely need to do some Lightning Bearer research.

 

Keep up the great work! Very inspiring stuff.
I am sure I'm not the only one who would enjoy some tutorials.

Thanks, mate! I've actually taken step by step pics of the Blood Angle, so I'll post them up with some written instructions.

Thanks for looking ;)

[Kizzdougs]

I've had a few people ask me for tutorials/recipes etc. so I decided to take some step by step pics of the BA. I've put them is spoiler brackets because there are quite a few of them...

 

 

 

After starting with a Chaos Black spray undercoat, I gave the armour a couple of thinned down coats of Khorne Red until I had achieved consistent coverage.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3937_zps6615cksh.jpg

 

Next up I gave the armour a wash with a mix of Drakenhof Nighshade and Tamiya Acrylic Paint Thinner at about 1/1. 

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3938_zpsfnp5m8rk.jpg

 

Once the wash had dried I sponged the armour with Blood Red (modern equivalent: Evil Sunz Scarlet). As you can see I was fairly liberal with the sponge. I also removed the right arm to make the sponging easier.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3939_zpsxorylnfw.jpg

 

I then neatened up the armour using a mix of Abbadon Black and water, at about 1/2. I use this technique of 'black lining' on most of my mini. It helps to add some definition and really makes the mini 'pop' from a distance. As you can see I painted the mix into all of the cracks between the armour plates and also into any battle damage that I had added.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3941_zpshputao8m.jpg

 

After the 'black lining' I used Abbadon Black to paint all of the areas that weren't going to be red. I could have just painted the other colours straight over the top, but using a black base coat usually produces better results.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3942_zpsceuypetl.jpg

 

At this stage I painted the Legion symbol on the shoulder pad using Abbadon Black. I've got plenty of DA decals lying around (who doesn't?), but I struggle with decals on the curved surfaces of power armour shoulder pads, so I generally find it easier to freehand many Legion symbols/squad markings etc. When freehanding basic symbols such as the BA icon, the trick is to water down your paints and go back afterwards with the original base colour (a mix of Khorne and Blood Red in this case) the neaten up any mistakes.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3943_zpsvugq7yii.jpg

 

Next I gave all of the parts that I wanted to be gold a coat of Retributor Gold. This is the new GW 'base' gold and gives much better coverage than the usual GW metallics.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3944_zpszdnwan23.jpg

 

I then painted all of the steel coloured areas with Ironbreaker.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3945_zpsblmcwxwg.jpg

 

These areas were then given a wash of Nuln Oil.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3946_zpsbe874fkv.jpg

 

Once the Nuln Oil was dry I washed the gold areas with Agrax Earthshade.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3947_zpskxc0zi4s.jpg

 

I then move onto the chainsword. I started by making sure the it had a solid base coat of Abbadon Black. Once I had a good base of black to work on I painted the yellow stripes with Iyanden Darksun (modern equivalent: Overland Sunset). These stripes don't need to be particularly neat because they'll be fix up afterwards.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3948_zpsv7rlein5.jpg

 

As mentioned the stripes were neatened up with some Abbadon Black. Usually I would put more effort into making sure the stripes were as perfect as possible, but because I knew that the chainsword would be weathered I was happy to leave them a little messier than usual.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3950_zpsbeiu6yyd.jpg

 

Next up I used some Runefang Steel to highlight all of the gold areas. This isn't essential, but I always do it because like the 'black lining' it helps to make the mini 'pop.'

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3951_zpsztxtifhj.jpg

 

With the gold finished it was time to move onto the weathering. For this stage I used a sponge to apply some Abbadon Black to strategic areas. As you can see the sponging at this stage was more precise and carefully placed than the original sponging of the armour.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3952_zpsrw8xaugd.jpg

 

The black areas (holster, pteruges and bolter casing) were highlighted with Mechanicus Standard Grey.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3953_zpsml2eudet.jpg

 

On to the eyes.

I started by painting the eyes with Snot Green (modern equivalent: Warpstone Glow).

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3954_zpsavulk8ww.jpg

 

I then added some white to the green, about 1/1.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3955_zpsfuix2qua.jpg

 

The 'glow' below the eye lenses was painted with some watered down Snot Green.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3956_zpsfvjjjdri.jpg

 

I then added some blood to the chainsword. I used a mix of Abbadon Black and Tamiya Clear Red, about 1/5 (thanks to poom for the recipe ).

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3957_zps5phu6th0.jpg

 

The Base:

 

I started with a mix of Rhinox Hide and Troll Slayer Orange, about 1/1.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3959_zpsewgwwhfm.jpg

 

I then added some white to the mix and dry brushed it on. Again, I was a lot less careful than I would usually be because I knew that the weathering powder would cover any imperfections.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3960_zpsjwbdopay.jpg

 

Some more white was added for the final dry brush.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3961_zpstfukqyb3.jpg

 

 

The legionnaire was mounted on the base using some super glue. This is the finished product minus weathering powder.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN3962_zpska2bna38.jpg

 

And the final product. Ready to hurl the traitors from the walls of the Emperor's Palace. I've used FW Aged Rust on the base and the warrior's lower legs etc. I also used some Black Soot on the vent of the power pack.

Looks great dude! How did you manage that cool red?

Beautiful Blood Angel and great job on the tutorial; I'm sure I'm not the only one who will find it useful.

[GrandMagnus]

Awesome blood angel, I just love the battle damage you add to these.

[Augustus b'Raass]

That red is so beautiful. Kizz, you're the hottest guy on this forum right now, and putting us all to shame. ;)

 

That tut is killer, btw. Please could you do this for all of them?

[Black_out]

Man, it kills me to say this but I think the Blood Angel is my favorite out of all the test minis you've painted up. He looks amazing kizz!

[Blindhamster]

Love the affect you achieved with the BA scheme, very different and very nice!

[Thrillhouse]

Great tutorial! Will give it a try at some point!

 

Also a great insight in how you paint.

[KrautScientist]

Kizz, you're the hottest guy on this forum right now, and putting us all to shame.

 

This perfectly sums up my own thoughts on the matter.

 

The Angel is, once again, fantastic. My favourite part is how you've managed to include weathering and battle damage, yet make the red so rich and deep. Speaking of which, thank you so much for the tutorial! I'll need a new recipe for my World Eaters, as my old approach relies on some OOP weapons, and your tutorial will really prove invaluable, I guess :)

[Kobrakei]

That Blood Angel is fantastic. Very rich and vibrant red. 

 

The White Scar has my attention really though. That white is looking crazy crisp. It's nice to see one that has a bit more of the tribal aspects to him.

[Knight of the Raven]

It's so nice to see hazard stripes on someone else than an Iron Warrior. No, seriously, the IVth Legion comes off as a bunch of flanderized shark jumpers sometimes.

[jimbo13]

Wicked belated comment about your Wolf good sir. I see him and think of the History Channel Series: Vikings. It's the axe, not too garish. 

 

Liking the Blood Angel. The hazard Stripes are funny, As if a giant chain saw sword wasn't a good enough reason to stay away...

 

Looking forward to the white Scar though. How do you get the ridiculously beautiful white? So smooth
