Dosjetka Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I'm loving the Flesh Tearer, but the Dreadnought much less so. Might be the autocannon arms that I generally find just ugly. But great job on the base and the general decoration of that beast :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259188-strike-force-baptiste-mortifactors/page/9/#findComment-3335115 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koyote Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Deathwatch (Mantis Warriors)http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i200/10011970/New2/DWMW2_zps58ef6f2e.jpghttp://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i200/10011970/New2/DWMW3_zps6a661962.jpghttp://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i200/10011970/New2/DWMW4_zpsaad0078f.jpgAt one time or another, this model has been an Ultramarine, an Imperial Fist, and a Mortifactor, depending upon what spare shoulder pad I had available to me. It was only as I was preparing to paint this model did I put some real thought into this model's identity and switch it to a Mantis Warrior. And while I was able to sculpt an acceptable Mantis Warriors chapter badge, I struggled to come up with other ways to reinforce this model's Mantis Warriors identity.After sculpting pad, my next idea was to replace the model's unhelmeted-rebreather head with a beaky helmet. I did so because, as an old timer, when I think of Mantis Warriors I think of the classic Mantis Warriors illustration from GW's 1993, Warhammer 40,000 Compendium.http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i200/10011970/New2/mantisart_zps9e210be9.jpgIt took some time, but after reviewing the 40K Wiki and Lexicanum Mantis Warriors articles, I came up with one more small idea. And it had to be small because the model's heavy flamer, backpack, and tubing cover much of the model, leaving very little room for any other additions. Since the Mantis Warriors are "masters of guerrilla warfare," I added to the model a grenade-and-coiled-cord bit from the plastic Space Marines Scout kit. The cord and explosive charge are used to make booby-traps. This model is the squad's expert on demolitions and guerrilla warfare. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259188-strike-force-baptiste-mortifactors/page/9/#findComment-3338630 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koyote Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 Great job on the Mantis Warrior. BTW - any chance for a group shot of the DWKT so far? *cough*hint*cough* I am working on the last member of the DW squad, an Exorcist armed with a missile launcher (ha ha -a little SoB joke there). As per usual, once I'm done with the Exorcist, I will take individual shots of the model. I will also take some group shots of the Deathwatch squad. After the DW, the plan is to paint the Techpriest so my Henchmen Warband will be finished. After that, I will probably return to my Mortifactors and finally put some paint on my Dev squad.

And because of their unique initiation rites and focus on battling Chaos, I added to the model extra purity seals, a tiny reliquary (from the GK kit), and scrolls (containing some of the 666 verses from the Book of Exorcisms).

ShadowSong7007 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Simply awesome. The Exorcists have always intrigued me, wish they would add to their fluff a bit, they seem like they would have a lot of potential for some awesome books.

Koyote Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Thanks guys. It's not a great photo, but it gives you an idea of what the squad looks like.I've started painting the Tech-Priest. I can already tell that this little guy is going to be a chore to paint. In addition to all of the fun little details I have to pick out, I'm going to paint mechanicus cog pattern trim along the edges of the model's hood and robes. It won't be much fun, but It will be good practice for the 10 Herakli models that I need to paint. http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i200/10011970/New2/techpriest_zps60c82016.gifhttp://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i200/10011970/New/shrink.gif Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259188-strike-force-baptiste-mortifactors/page/9/#findComment-3342480 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I painted the base line and realized that the line alone, without the cog teeth, looked pretty good. Then I thought, if I can get away with painting only a line at the base of the robes, it will be less of a chore painting the robes on the 10 Herakli models.So what do you think? Does the trim work as is or should I paint the cog teeth?*Pronounced 'gamp' Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259188-strike-force-baptiste-mortifactors/page/9/#findComment-3345154 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenfeld Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I think you should paint the cog teeth.. if only because I am a sucker for the little details. He's ad mech damnit! Hehehe. Then again its an amazingly sharp paint job, the red is just stunning, the green is almost luminescent in its potency, and the model has a lot of character, so who am I to judge? Sweet stuff.

Koyote Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 WIP Icarus Lascannon:http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i200/10011970/New2/icaruslascannon_zpsffca2436.jpgMy friend convinced me to try out the Icarus Lascannon option for my Aegis Defense Line. In past games I've struggled against AV 13+, so an additional lascannon should come in handy. Unlike the Quad-Gun it's not twin-linked, but if it's operated by Captain Artemis (i.e. Pedro Kantor), it shoots at BS 5. Also, the Icarus' 72" range will be useful against Manticores and other long range threats that my opponents tend to deploy in a far corner, well out of the range of my other heavy weapons. I made the lascanon turret using spare bits from a bunch of different kits. I mounted it on the chassis that I built for my Quad-Gun. I still have the Quad-Gun turret and the Icarus turret isn't glued to the chassis so I can swap out turrets when the need arises.It's not one of my best conversions, but as time passes its odd design is growing on me. Its shape reminds me of one of those drinking bird toys. :)http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i200/10011970/New2/drinkingbird_zpsc02892bb.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259188-strike-force-baptiste-mortifactors/page/9/#findComment-3360465 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannus Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 For comething that was "cobbled together" out of leftovers, I think you did an excellent job and I still love the platform you have made for it (and your quad-gun) too!

Dosjetka Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Looking good, Koyote :) Personally, I'm not too keen on your Thunderfire cannon, but it's not bad considering that it's something that you "cobbled together".
