Kilofix Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 So those WFB arms DO work for an Acolyte! Been wondering if they would. Nope. That's a Rogue Trader era space marine scout. Well, he's not wrong, exactly. I've seen empire bits used to GREAT effect in inquisitorial warbands. But yes, that is a Rogue Trader marine scout, with a greenstuff re-breather sculpted on. Ah cool. Thanks for sorting that out. Looking forward to seeing more Henchmen.

MosesGunn Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Great to see some classic models with such a well done paint scheme! Really impressed with how you got the black armor to stand out on all three. It looks like you're somehow using a dark brown base washed over with black, especially on the scout and sister. Is that the case? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283404-inquisitor-in-honor-of-the-new-codex/page/2/#findComment-3637533 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Eisenhorn Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Great to see some classic models with such a well done paint scheme! Really impressed with how you got the black armor to stand out on all three. It looks like you're somehow using a dark brown base washed over with black, especially on the scout and sister. Is that the case? Thanks! Yeah I love these classic models to death. The blacks are generally done with a dark grey base heavily washed with nuln oil and then with some sepias and orange/brown glazes to add grit. It's funny I almost never use actual black paint.

Isiah Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Thanks for letting us in on that secret IE - I was wondering how you achieved that - the 'black' looks stunning. It has a real depth that you don't get from a real black. Great old =][= sculpt - it's been kept fairly well, usually old models like that get chipped and bashed to hell over the years.

MosesGunn Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Never thought of using a glaze to achieve that effect before, that's a great tip. I've used the dark grey or blue/black wash technique before and find it very successful but I'm definitely going to try out experimenting with another wash layer or glaze now.

Kuchinawa Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I never realized until now how much that sculpt looks like Inquisitor Lebowski. http://i.imgur.com/gMjQZTl.jpg?1 Great job on him! Makes me want to get mine painted up. That chapter relic banner really tied my battle barge's room together man.

Dechande Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Great job, I really like the style you've used. Interesting method on the black too, I'll have to give that a go. That model really brings back memories, I remember buying that model as a kid for about £2.99 (maybe less, it was some time a go). It was one of my favourites, I always liked the pointing powerfist, for some time it was the only powerfist with an expression. The bionic leg and oldschool shoulders with 3 peaks along the bottom edge! I think this has inspired me to dig mine out!!
