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

Your Deathwatch are looking fantastic!

[sockwithaticket]

Been working on some Sons of Sanguinius stuff since the year changed; posted this up in the BA sub-forum a few days ago:




Another shot to try and better show where I've attempted to add some depth to the hair  that simply doesn't exist in the sculpt. The effect seems less subtle in real life.


I've taken my visual cues from Midnight Runner's excellent Flesh Eaters and my own notion that they were excommunicated quite a while ago, so likely wouldn't be trotting around in brand spanking new mk. VII, but a patchwork of whatever's in the armoury. It's difficult to re-supply while on the Inquisition's naughty list.

Also made a couple of orders on shapeways:


The blood drop and the skull are from separate sprues.

Started on a new Deathwatch marine too:


Deathspecter, Radiation & hushrong - Cheers, gents.

Vairo - thanks a lot, man. Wherever possible I like to make thse guys as characterful as possible, just happened to have the bits to make this one really work.

Riconas - that's really good to hear, make sure you post the reuslts of your re-found hobby mojo. Thanks for the kind words.

Mine raided a Mech ship leaving Ryza .  Charnel Guard Cool was wondering how those teardrops looked.   The Face looks great and the hair . 

[DaBoiKyknos]

Lovely Vamp...-eh Blood Angel!

[Vairocanum]

Many you've really got a talent for painting red (as well as photographing red), amazing paint job so far. The new deathwatch is looking good too, are those legion of the damned legs?

Finished Flesh Eater:



Finished Angel of Fire:



Another in my exploration of varied combat blade poses and the third consecutive marine from an 'Angel' chapter. Not planned that way, but I noticed it and its a funny little quirk.


Deathspecter - heh, that's certainly one way to keep on top of re-supply. I am very greatful for you turning me onto martilo y colla on shapeways, those blood drops are going to present all sorts of ways to augment my Crimson Tears without having to press mould all the sodding time! Thanks, man. having been a staunch helmet guy for so long I am actually starting to get a taste for painting skin. Not that there's going to be an avalanche of helmetless marines in my future, but I no longer dread doing it.

LordVelype - Thanks. Flesh Eaters rather than BA, but I'm sure the difference is somewhat academic when an 8 foot, blood-crazed post-human is running at you with red eyes and bared fangs!

Vairo - cheers, buddy. It was suprisinlgly difficult to get photos that looked somewhat like the paint does IRL, the more purple red I use on the Crimson Tears photographs much easier.They are indeed LotD, so too the helmet, right pad, bolter and little piece of the backpack I transplanted. I have a box of them sitting around for Chaplain kitbashes and conversions, but they also presented a golden opportunity here for a characterful DW marine.

Impressive.

[deathspectersgt7]

Cool. I do not see that Chapter around .

[Biohazard]

Newest DeathWatch Marine is stunning as always but that Flesh Eater is incredible, great use of bits, especially the torso. It seems tailor made for the Chapter. :tu:

[hushrong]

I love that Angel of Fire. Especially that pose and the knife he has tucked behind his back.

 

The Flesh Eater is boss! He looks worrisome enough that if I saw him charging I’d turn and run. I really like the use of the World Eater torso. It’s perfect.

[marine7312000]

Are the Flesh tearer's legs the medieval legs from Anvil with the stud shaved off?

[Quixus]

I am pretty sure they are the discontinued black ops legs.

[Vairocanum]

Nice seeing the Flesh Eater completed! There's just something about the flames on the armor that just looks so cool! Definitely looking forward to seeing what chapter you'll do next!

[sockwithaticket]

Dipping my toes back into the Crimson Tears with something I haven't tackled before:




Pretty pleased with how it's going so far, but goodness is it slow going with the amount of detail on these Space Hulk guys.


Bjorn - Thanks, man.

Deathspecter - heh, have I out-obscured even you?

Bio - cheers, buddy. Yep, as soon as I saw the World Eater torsos I said to myself 'that's for my SoS Flesh Eater' and so (eventually) it came to pass, glad you dig.

marine - Quixus is correct, I hadn't noticed that they'd gone OOP

Vairo - cheers, man. Yeah, I enjoyed the Angel coming together with those flame motifs; it's going to be hard not to simply copy it again for my Fire Hawk (when I get there).

[deathspectersgt7]

TERMINATOR !!!!!! 

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Good job on the Terminator.

[Bryan Blaire]

Sock, you definitely haven't lost your touch on the white, that Terminator looks great! I also love the blued skin tone on the Flesh Eater and the Angel of Fire looks smashing.

[Vairocanum]

Yessss! Very excited to see you painting the Space Hulk terminators. Will you be painting the dead terminator on the throne as well? Can't wait to see more!

[Augustus b'Raass]

Lovely work as always!

Where are the legs of the Flesh Eater from? I figured ANvil Industry at first but they don't list it....

[Riconas]

[sockwithaticket]

Almost there, just have to finish off the storm bolter and lower legs. Powerfist was a nightmare, there are some seriously weird edges in there, which really did not want to co-operate with my chosen style.


As for what's next I have started prepping some Inquisition stuff, a deathcult assassin, an interrogator and a former enforcer turned Inqusitorial bodyguard. I've also gathered parts for a Kroot Bounty Hunter and have a few of the Artel W models to drop in soon (not-Inquisitor Covenant, cool assassin, not- Arbites Enforcer).


deathspecter - Indeed! Finally, after years sitting in a box...

Bjorn - thanks, man.

Bryan - Thanks alot. It's always a bit of a question when I come back to it, am I going to be able to get it just so? Glad you enjoyed the other two, I'm pretty pleased with the FE's face as it's something of a departure for me and great practice for my Mordheim Undead.

Vairo - Cheers, buddy. Alas I picked them up piece meal from ebay sellers when I spotted a great deal, so I don't have a full set and one of the missing pieces is the dead guy.

Augustus - Cheers. Yeah, marine7312000 had it right further up the thread, they're the Anvil Black Ops legs that now seem to have been discontinued. Which is shame as I feel that they look like a good cross between Mk. IV and Mk.III and a bit thicker than GW/FW legs, lends some real heft to a model.

[OakRiver]

Great work as always. I'm excited to see what you do with the INQ28 stuff

[Biohazard]

Terminators looking great bud but really looking forward to the Deathcult assassin coming along. Love the pose

[NightHunters]

Love the Terminator SWAT, that fist is a thing of beauty!

 

And the WIPs look very interesting too!

[Zebulon]

Hmm. In the last few days I have very much enjoyed travelling through six years of your hobby posts! This thread is a great record; here’s to your next six years :)
