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

[Father Mapple]

Love the close ups you have here that aren't in the BA subforum topics. Great works as always, Luther. 

[LutherMax]

Thanks Father Mapple!

 

It was Easter Bank Holiday here in the UK, which is a 4-day weekend and normally means plenty of rain and cold weather – perfect for hobbying! I had to work Friday and Monday so didn’t get as much time as I would have otherwise, but I DID manage to get my second tactical squad – ‘Lorenzo’ finished up and photographed:

Excellent work.

[LutherMax]

Thanks Bjorn!

 

While I was making these guys I also made a couple of different sergeants with magnetised weapons so I can mix and match as needed. Would be interested in you guys' opinions on which is the best!?

 

(P.S. I will do something on the bottom of the banner, forgot about it before taking the pics!)

Thanks guys! And now, without much further ado, the dirty Rhino / Razorback!

Excellent work on the Rhino/Razorback, but why put Iron Warriors-like hazard stripes on the roof? To deceive Chaos Space Marines your Blood Angels faced or will face in a certain campaign?

[Trixie]

Imo the best BA I have ever seen. Keep em coming !

Wow, it's been a while since I posted here... I had a bit of a hiatus over the last couple of months while the 8th Edition drop happened – partly because it coincided with a busy real life period and partly because I wanted to wait until the dust settled and decide where I wanted to take the Blood Angels in 8th. One thing that will definitely include is, of course, Primaris marines! (Even if only for painting rather than gaming…)

 

I haven’t been completely idle during this time; I’ve been slowly working away on my kitbashed Sanguinary Guard squad, first posted back in March. Nearly finished now so watch this space…

 

I’ve also undertaken a collaborative commission project with fellow frater Blindhamster. You can read more about it on my blog, but here are some pictures of his excellent work, ready for me to try to do it justice with some paint!

[Olis]

Looking pretty good! Very dynamic and the GS looks pretty smooth. :tu:

[KrautScientist]

Love the Inquisitor, and he's such a good match for the artwork that inspired him! My one nitpick is that,...erm, his feet seem tiny. Or is that just me...?

 

Anyway, fantastic work! :)

[Bryan Blaire]

I really love him too, and the Green Stuff work for him is excellent, but I will also echo KrautScientist in that I feel his feet are slightly off, as well as there is something about the size and orientation of his arms and hands that just make it feel weird to me. It's like there are spindly little arms and legs for a much larger torso and head. The upper part of the hammer haft may be part of the problem, but his feet definitely look too delicate and the fingers seem too long. I don't know exactly, it just gives me a "not quite human vibe overall", but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The Inquisitor could easily be modified to be 'other than' human and be a little unsettling to the "normals" of the galaxy. :D After all, the Astartes inspire dread/awe by their otherness and status, why not an Inquisitor? Edited July 8, 2017 by Bryan Blaire

[Blindhamster]

Looking at it. Damnit but you're all correct and his feed look too small :( I may need to fix those or provide instruction on doing it. Very obvious from side view in particular.

[LutherMax]

I hadn't really noticed the feet but now it's been mentioned they do look a bit small! Worth bulking out a bit I reckon.

 

I think the rest of the proportions are good and very close to the artwork.

 

Once the feet are sorted I plan to paint him with glossy black armour, silver / gold accents and red cloak. I'll do a bright turquoise blue glow effect on the hammer - all of this is still TBC with the client though.

Two of my favourite WIP'ers in Collaboration? Yup!

[LutherMax]

Finished my second Sanguinary Guard squad today (except I forgot to do the soot around the jump pack jets – doh!)

Excellent work on the Sanguinary Guard.

[Quixus]

excellent looking Sanguinary Guard. Those helmets aren't from the box, are they?

[LutherMax]

Thanks guys!

 

@ Quixus the helmets, torsos and shoulder pads are the Forge World Blood Angels Legion ones.

 

Also finished new weapons for the Sanguinary Priest (the lovely original chainsword and a Forge World bolt pistol)...

Sanguinary guard came our splendidly, well done and very impressive blending too!

 

Priest of course looks good too, though I miss the old weapons lol.
