WIP thread - 711th CCAB (Chocochip Rats)

[elmo]

I was hedging towards green anyway so that is now decided. :)

[WarriorFish]

Cool, looking forward to the new models elmo :tu:

[elmo]

Olga should be ready tomorrow :)

[elmo]

Commissar Olga nearly done

Damn this phone camera

[scatmandoo]

Looking good.

[Father Mehman]

I'm out of "Likes"! She could certainly motivate some troops!

[Vash]

Is that the standard issue uniform female commissars are given? I have the frequency toned in to a local inquisitor who could pay a visit

 

*edit. looking good though, but I'll wait for my final judgment when the finished product is done and with a better picture

The rear picture is good, shows off the hair and cape details :tu:

[CommissarZac]

Of course I come to this thread when I run out of likes.  Just my luck.

[our_baz]

Looking good, love the work.

[elmo]

Thanks guys. I promise better photos on Friday.

 

The base will be done tonight along with a little tidying up and work has started on another 13 guardsmen, why 13....

 

They where primed ;)

[walter h]

Uhh wowed.

[elmo]

Not even finished these yet but already planning the next project...

 

I am going to go for a couple of priests and by that I mean 5 ;)

 

You can't beat a chainsaw toting, frothing at the mouth zealot screaming out praises of The Emperor while leading Cadia's finest against the xenos and heretic...

 

I will be using a mixture of WHF flagellants and cadian bits but I will need to read up on weapons options so I can have a few different load outs :)

[Father Mehman]

Can't beat a shotgun-toting Preacher in your ranks, bellowing curses and praise to the Emperor in equal measure !

[elmo]

I have some shotguns left over from some SM scouts so that is definitely going to be one of the options... And planning to glue 2 chainswords together as an Eviscerator ;)

[Toxichobbit]

Awesome work Elmo. Your using a very similar colour scheme to one I did years ago, although unlike me you've managed to get more than one squad painted :).

Sadly, the Eviscerator is missing from the latest Guard Codex. Only Inquisitorial lapdogs can use it now :(.

[Black_out]

My god I didn't think it was possible to pull off chocolate chip camo on such a small piece but I AM SO GLAD I WAS WRONG!!!

 

The paint scheme is absolutely gorgeous, I love it!!! Ahhhh!!!!

[Kierdale]

Looking forward to seeing these priests!

Model them with eviscerators anyway! :D

[elmo]

I may just do that :)

 

Work has been progressing well with Olga competed, 13 bodies/legs painted and based, 14 heads done and starting on arms now.

 

I will not post photos as they won't be any good anyway :(

You will just have to wait till Friday.

Commissar Olga is done

And the WIP on the remaining members of the squad+

I will swap the head on the Sgt as I don't really like it :(

[Jolemai]

Since when did you start collecting Undead?

[scatmandoo]

Looking great there as usual.

 

Only thing I am not keen on is the skin on the Olga. It looks thick though it may just be the wash? Afraid I cannot aid further or suggest what to do due to my lack of skills.

 

As for the sgt, I have that head on a pompous platoon commander with a beat stick. Suits it more. Look forward to seeing what you come with as an alternative.

 

On a side note, do you have the shoulder pad for the bolt pistol arm?

[elmo]

The Olga face may get an extra highlight as it is not as bad as it looks but still not as good as I want it to be... The detail was extremely small as her head is tiny compared to GW models so that made it a little more difficult but that is not an excuse ;)

 

The pad will be coming from one of the vehicle kits when I get around to digging one out. these figures are still WIP at the moment and as I wrote the head wil be discarded as it is  . I may dig around and see if I have a beret head hiding somewhere..

@Jolemai: It is just the way I paint figures... more scary is the painted heads I did not take a photo of ;)

[scatmandoo]

Ah ok, please don't take offence. hopefully a wash will sort it out.

 

The head is odd as you said. Beret would be good. You going for 'green' or 'grizzled' look?

[elmo]

No offence taken 

 

I will go for the sandy look like my vets and the future 2nd Kasrkin squad.
