Crimson Tears, Deathwatch and Inq28 Updated - 05/02/23

[sockwithaticket]

Done most of another Devastator:




I've also contributed Captain Vequaniel of the 5th Company to the Great Baalite Bake Off event going on in the BA sub-forum:






Vairocanum - thanks,man. The above is a start, lord knows when I'll finish though... Hobby Butterfly Syndrom is a sickness!

[Vairocanum]

The heavy bolter guy looks great, will definitely be well worth the wait for the rest of the squad. Looking forward to seeing you work your magic on Captain Vequaniel!

[Biohazard]

Devastating looks great but I really can't wait to see that Capt take shape. I love the choice of helmet

[Midnightmare]

That is one well 'ard looking Captain, sock, not to be messed with! Great use of parts :tu:

[Quixus]

The captain indeed looks ded'ard. Where's the helmet from?

[sockwithaticket]

Vairocanum - Cheers. Have to wait for the ETL to make a start on the Captain, that's the whol idea behind The GBBO.

Bio - thanks, buddy. The temptation is always to work on the characters rather than the troops. It's a damned fine helmet, I wish we had more Mk. IV variants of it's ilk with that gladiatorial vibe (would be perfect for World Eaters!).

Midnight Runner - thank you. High praise from the king of BA-related, brutal looking character conversions.

Quixus - Chers, it's from the FW Thousand Sons head upgrade set

[sockwithaticket]

Ok, so the 2nd heavy bolter marine is done:


Cranked out a Crimson Tears version of the Sanguinor for the Great Baalite Bake Off too:


And now for something completely different:

He'll go by the name of Gerrit Jansen, which may give some of  you a clue as to what he'll turn out to be, depends how long you've paid attention to this thread.

Midnight Runner - thank you. High praise from the king of BA-related, brutal looking character conversions. I've been re-watching the series Southland recently which has cops and gang members squaring off quite a lot and I was trying to go for an inactive yet physically dominant pose.

Fantastic update buddy, the counts as Sanguinor is awesome, loving the weapon ;) I've looked at buying the TS heads a few times to convert into Berserker helmets, may still do that soon. :tu:

[Vairocanum]

Love your version of sanguinor, definitely more battle ready in comparison to the original. The paintjob on Jansen is looking stellar!

[NightHunters]

Can not wait to see the Sanguinor's blades with your edge highlight!

Great work fella!

[TheOneTrueZon]

Double sided swords are my most favorite thing ever. Well done!

[Thousand Eyes]

Wonderful version of Sanguinor there chief, bravo. Look forward to seeing some paint on him.

 

Is the other figure going to be a Knight Errant?

[sockwithaticket]

Done some more work on Jansen, nearly there now:



Pretty pleased with the hammer's band of force energy

Also, base aside, I finished up another model for the Great Baalite Bake Off:



He'll be a 4th Company Siege Breaker to stand alongside Captain Ezekiel (who, as not-Seth is technically a Lord of War rather than an HQ)


Bio - cheers, mate. I built that weapon after I saw it somewhere else on the web ages ago and I've been waiting for an appropriate model to use it on. Sanguinor seems perfect as I'd definitely want to keep that weapon unique and who better to have a one off piece of equipment?

Vairocanum - thanks, man. Indeed, considering he's basically an avenging angel or desperate saviour the official Sanguinor is a bit statue-esque (as opposed to statuesque) for my taste. Every now and then I like to paint something that doesn't feature a load of black (just as a reminder that I can!) and I'm pleased with how Jansens' coming together.

NightHunters - thanks a lot, I kind of both look forward to and dread doing the blades! I appreciate the vote of confidence, though. Hopefully it'll come right.

TheOneTrueZorn - thank you, brother.

Thousand Eyes - cheers, man. Stockpiling for the ETL, he should see some then. I'm still strictly 40k for now, so Jansen's not a KE. Maybe the new pictures give more of a hint

Yea the purple on the thunder hammer looks sweet! Great bits choice on the siege breaker, looking forward to seeing what you'll put together for the chaplain in the GBBO.

Did I miss this chap getting posted in the GBBO? 0.o

[Dantay VI]

Thats some size egg-beater that the siege breaker has :D

 

Jansen is looking awesome... Is he metallic or are you doing a NMM style paintjob? Either way super smooth..

[Augustus b'Raass]

 

Sock! What wonderful Blood Angels you posted lately! That last guy, Gerrit Jansen, has about the Dutchest name imaginable. You said it was a reference we could find earlier in your thread, but I can't recall anything similar. Is he named for the Dutch extant Numerologist? If so, why? Just very curious!

... which doesn't cost you any extra effort, doesn't clog the OP's thread, and saves a hell of a lot of annoying scrolling time for visitors, especially mobile users, no? It's just good practice. :tu: 

[sockwithaticket]

Righto, completions first of all and I present Inquisitor Gerrit Jansen (not-Coteaz) in all his splendour:


Don't paint flesh often and it's been a while at that, so I'm pretty happy with how he's come out.

I've added a base to the Siegebreaker, so he's done.


With 2 days to go I have finished the main part of my Great Baalite Bake Off Chaplain:


I want him to look a little more brutal than normal since he'll be rolling with the 4th Company.

Also I've made a decent start on a Deathwatch marine from the Silver Eagles chapter (2nd Founding Ultramarine successors according to 40k wiki):




Vairocanum - thanks, buddy. As soon as the DW:O set was released I knew what I was going to use the Imperial Fist guy for.

Jolemai - Nah you didn't miss him, I just didn't feel like posting him until he was based (which you've probably noticed already)

dantay - I think it's taller than he is! You're very kind about Jansen; not NMM, but I did add some Reaper anti-shine to the metallic and that will matte just about anything. For good measure i followed it up with a thin blue wash with a healthy amount of Vallejo matt medium in it.

Augustus - thanks, man, Dutchest name imaginable is pretty much what I was going for, so good to get that confirmed by our resident Netherlander (you may not be alone, but I know of no others on the forum).  Alas, I am ignorant of any namesake numerologists, but I do have something of an affection for and an interest in the Dutch. While studying my history degree I did a lot of work on Exploration and Imperialism between 1500 and 1900 and of the five nations that cropped up most regularly (Britain, France, Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands) I found the Dutch story particularly interesting. Plus the Netherlands experience of the Reformation is one of the more eventiful during the European early modern period (another topic I studied in some depth) and (with a few exceptions) Britain has generally been able to count your fine, upstanding people as among her allies. The earlier thread reference was my other Inquisitor Jacobin Constantjin, I think I'll give all my Inquisitorial stuff a Northern European flavour

[Vairocanum]

Whoa Gerrit Jansen looks great, lovely skin tones. But the chaplain is what I'm really excited to see finished .

[sockwithaticket]

Ask and ye shall receive!






Thanks for highlighting the skin, I wasn't sure if I was pleased with it because I hadn't botched it or if it was actually good.

[Vairocanum]

Wow that chaplain looks fantastic, definitely my favorite out of the 4 models you vowed! Looking forward to seeing him painted up! 

[Biohazard]

Oh man! That Chaplain has to be my favourite model of yours so far, really cannot wait to see it with some paint on. Excellent work

[Kierdale]

The =][= is great but that chaplain is something else! :tu:

[Thousand Eyes]

Coming on really well there.
