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

[Ovidius Incertus]

Looks awesome, but is his head looking two different directions???  In one photo, he's looking toward the puddle side and in the other he's looking away.  Love that little shield icon with the blood drop; subtle and classy.

[LutherMax]

Thanks Ovidius!

 

Yep the head is pinned in and not glued so I can move it around. The arms and torso also swivel and can be removed :)

Does this mean you're planning to dive into the world of stop motion animation with your Angels......?

Now there's an idea......! :D

Dreadnought looks fantastic Luther! Really like how you've used the transfers. Here's hoping GW will release another set again so I can pick one up.

 

So what's next and when will you do the next army photo?

[LutherMax]

Thanks Eggy!

 

What next? Good question! I've been away in India for two weeks and picked up a cold on the way back so there's been a bit of a gap in progress, but I'm starting to feel better now so will be back on it soon!

 

I have a whole tactical squad and assault squad with all the airbrush steps done, so just details left to do on them. Librarian Dreadnought also in progress plus a Techmarine and the awesome Captain Aphael kitbash Blindhamster made for me.

 

As for an army photoshoot, I'd like to 'round out' the force a little bit more, so a Sternguard and Vanguard squad and a couple more tanks. I also need to do a second Sanguinary Guard squad so I can field the Golden Host formation!

 

So yeah, lots in the pipeline

[Legio Draconis]

Amazing thread brother. 

 

A question, the black recipe you posted for the death company, I take it you applied this with an airbrush? I'd love to try that for my first legion minis it such an amazing black. 

[LutherMax]

Thanks Draconis!

 

To be honest I've experimented with a few methods for black on my Death Company. I think the one you mean using Vallejo Model Color paints drybrushed, but more recently I do use Vallejo Model Air through my airbrush. For example the one below was primed black, sprayed Vallejo Model Air 'US Grey' from above, Nuln Oil wash and then edge highlights with Vallejo Model Color Medium Sea Grey:

Cheers brother, I've ordered the colours and will try the black with dry brushing. I'm just getting back in the game after almost twenty years out, so brushes first then work up to airbrush. 

[LutherMax]

I found drybrushing worked really well for the 'worn' look I wanted on the DC armour. The greys I listed blend well with each other so you don't get the harsh look you sometimes do with drybrusing. And the Nuln Oil ties everything together and tones it down too.

[Race Bannon]

Yeah, that Ven Dread pose in the last pic is stolen.

 

YOINK!

Damn it, man, that Fragioso's a thing of beauty.

[Midnightmare]

My word, you Blood Angels are always so full of win! Sicaran, Deredeo, Fragioso, the scouts, even that humble DC brother; amazing work all :tu: :tu: :tu:

[LutherMax]

Thank you both for the kind words!

 

Painting away as we speak - nothing exciting, batch painting tactical marines...

One day, it would be extremely cool to see Luther's BA along side your Flesh Eaters (both are full of win! )

[Midnightmare]

Sounds like a date for Warhammer World! :D

[LutherMax]

That would be epic!

 

I played at Warhammer World not long ago, my BA and Crimson Fists against Eldar, 3.5k points. We got taken to pieces but it was great to play on the big scenic board.

[Midnightmare]

To be fair, I bet yours look absolutely immense on their tables! I have only been once, and that was to a doubles weekend. Good times indeed! I do plan on going to a ToS later this year hopefully real life dependant, though I think I am going to be taking my Black Legion this year - I am currently painting to a themed list which I will be able to adjust to the required points cost :)

 

I have to say though Luther, you have a sure fire Best Painted army right here if you ever attend a Throne of Skulls. It's beautiful :tu:

[Blindhamster]

I'd love to see them all together and painted too!

[LutherMax]

Been working on my second Sanguinary Guard squad tonight. Here's three I've Blu-Tack'd together to show where I'm going with them. Only realised tonight I don't have any MKIV jump packs left so it's off to eBay I go...

[Quixus]

Are those resin casts of cork bases?

[LutherMax]

They are resin casts, but I'm not sure what material(s) were used to make the masters. Possibly cork, but some have scale bricks and what look like they must have been small metal parts. I got them from eBay, not sure if I'll use them for these models ultimately...

[marine7312000]

I love how these look. I think I'll be doing a veteran squad like this.

[LutherMax]

Thanks mate – early WIP really but I'm happy with how they're looking so far. I was actually going to use these bits for Vanguard myself but getting a Golden Host sorted became more important!
