Luther's W.o.S.P. (Works of Slow Progress)

[Indefragable]

Love your 'Raven man, BIG kudos great painting, and the canopy really works well.

 

Great looking Scars, too; all to your high standard Where is the Khan's spear had from?

 

The Spear is the Force Halberd from the BA Librarian/Furioso/Death Company Dreadnought kit. It's used partly due to my limited/lazy kitbash skills, partly to make the Chapter Master stand out even more, and partially to represent the kind of thing that slays greater daemons and wraithknights and such.

Right, update time! Firstly two more Blood Angel Battle Brothers painted for Indy:

Also painted for Indy an Inquisitorial Stormtrooper. Indy came up with the concept for the scheme which was inspired by the Weyland Yutani Commandos from Alien 3, which their off-white armour and creepy, faceless aspect.

And coming soon, Captain of the 2nd, Aphael. All my company-specific marines are denoted as 2nd Company so when Aphael started getting depiction in books I planned to build a model to represent him. Then I saw Blindhamster's awesome rendition, realised I would never be able to make one as good, and asked him if he would make one for me. Make one he did, and here he is!

An extensive bits list as well as some custom sculpting (including a cast of the head-and-hair from Blindhamster's original). Ignore the odd whitish bits that look like super glue crazing – I started priming him with grey then realised I should take pics before to show the green stuff parts.

[Warsmith Uveron]

Fantastic! Cannot wait to see Aphael painted.

[bevulf]

They look fantastic - really love yor style Luthermax ! and Cpt. Aphael is just incerdible - can't wait to see him painted ! 

[Quixus]

Awesome. Did you do Aphael's head and cape yourself? If so it makes the model even more impressive.

[LutherMax]

Thanks guys!

 

Captain Aphael was built for me by fellow frater Blindhamster, whose blog on here you should definitely check out if you haven't already! The cape is the FW Loken one and the hair, tabard and left leg detail were all custom sculpted by him.

[Race Bannon]

The Captain is boss in many ways :tu: Well done to both ^_^

[Blindhamster]

Nice to see updates mate, I really love the death company and naturally I can't wait to see some paint on Aphael, still glad you liked him and I like the base choice you went with.

 

But that inquisition storm trooper... so cool!

[deathspectersgt7]

Can not give more than 2 likes mate but dam!!!  

[Midnightmare]

I like Aphael's pose, it's like Loken, but the bling BA version. I am sure you will do him justice

 

I like the Tac Marine and the Death Co Brother, even your line troops are off the chain awesome!

[Fenrykus]

...   Dude, your Blood Angels are absolutely amazing! Words can't fully express my amazement at your work. I especially like your Sanguinary Priest with the robes; if you don't mind, I may steal that idea for my own Priests.  

[LutherMax]

Thanks for the kind words Brother Mikael!

 

Do you mean the Priest made from Dark Angel Veteran bits? If so I stole that idea myself so pay it forward I say!

[Fenrykus]

I'm guessing so; it's the one in the third and fourth photos in your op.

[LutherMax]

Yeah I copied the idea for the build from frater Sincain. I've done another Priest with Valour's Edge since the kit came out.

[Fenrykus]

Which kit, the Dark Angels Veterans?

[LutherMax]

No, sorry, this one uses Dark Angels Veteran bits:

And this one is (mainly) the Sanguinary Priest kit:

[Fenrykus]

Ah, ok. Out of curiosity, how many (and which) pieces does the new Priest kit come in? I like the model in general, but if the arms don't separate, I'll probably just use one for my Corbulo.

[CaptainHelion]

Arms are both separate bits, though the legs and torso are all one assembly

[LutherMax]

As CaptainHelion said. The left arm on mine is not the one that comes with the kit, it's magnetised. Right hand also magnetised.

Fantastic! The arms are what I was worried about the most. I really do like the model, and was hoping I'd be able to use it for more than just a counts-as Corbulo. Not really a huge concern here, but is the head also already attached to the model, or is it separate as well?

[abadizzle]

SO much amazings! Love your power weapons and crisp, clean, yet realistic style! Awesome stuff! Paint that captain ASAP please!

[LutherMax]

Ha thanks abadizzle! I started on Aphael today in fact, along with a tactical squad, assault marine squad, Death Company squad and two Dreadnoughts! I'm also painting another Mephiston and there are plenty more in the queue behind...

 

@ Mikael the head is also separate so no worries there. If you go to the GW website there should be a picture of the sprue..?

[The_son_of_Dorn]

Your work is glorious. Simply glorious.
