Grun's WIP and ETL challange update thread

[GrunTeufel]

Dark Angels Green, caliban green I think now its called. The lines are warpstone green with moot green. And there is no wash on the land raider apart from a small amount of agrax earthshade used to bring out the rivets. I preshaded the model quite strongly though.

So this is what I did tonight.

As you can tell, I can't take a picture to save my life. My camera sucks, my lighting sucks, it sucks. I am gonna have to buy a camera one of these days but damn plastic crack addiction doesn't let me. It keeps telling me to buy more in order to make the Emperor proud. Am I the only one?

A group shot with my old veterans. They were the first models that I painted with care and now that I look back they kinda need renovating. If I ever manage to finish my current projects maybe then. He doesn't look half bad next to them. Right kinda height, pose, look etc.

 

Now it's time for some rhinos!

I feel kinda lazy now for making my jump packs all black... gotta sit down one day and add some detail.

[GrunTeufel]

My favorite BA sculpt finally finished.

That corbs is ace! Well done!

[GrunTeufel]

Finally my second sanguinary priest. %90 of it is stolen directly from this guy.The helmet and one shoulder pad is different and that's it. Even the wolf chainsword is just like his thats how much I liked it.

And my third tactical sergeant with his pointy finger of doom. He has a combi plasma which I use from time to time. The head is from the 3rd edition honor guard box. The only head that fits inside the neck cavity of a sergeant torso without looking awkward. Turned out better than I imagined.

And these guys are what I am planning to work on next. I don't have time to work on big things at the moment so these vintage fellows are gonna have to do. The commander is going to be fun.

Really nice and crisp, and very cool posing  

[Inquisitor Eisenhorn]

These are really excellent, man!  

[Helias_Tancred]

Top shelf stuff. Grats. Well done brother.

[GrunTeufel]

It was approximately 3 pm when I started building this. It is 7 am right now and a new sun rises. Emperor be proud.

It was just so much fun to do. This is my firs death company dreadnought and it will probably be the last since I never use them but it is my favorite Blood Angels model. Always wanted to build one and when my deathstorm box finally arrived I just couldn't help myself. I literally painted my brushes off. 16 hours straight. My new record.

I have two more rhinos waiting. 

[GrunTeufel]

Okay, here it goes. I actually managed to close the tab on my draft TWICE now. 

 

Here are units that I finally managed to finish over the week. They have been on my waiting list for a long time now. 

 

I improved my lighting and found a filter on my camera that actually let's you see the model! Victories all around.

 

Land Raider Crusader:

Land Raiders are my favorite tanks from 40k. They just huge and have lot's of flat surfaces for you decorate. I have second one coming next week so should be fun.

 

Assault Terminators:

 

http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/Blood%20Angels/2015-01-16011623_zpsc2e7eac3.jpg

 

Well I can't send the land raider all empty now can I? I started painting these before the update so I am still contemplating if I can justify buying the new kit just for looks.

 

Death Company Dreadnought:

I posted late WIP pictures of this before. Some tweaks here and there like the BA logos going white from gold and matt varnish.

Next up: Some works in progress.

Death company rhino:

This was my first rhino that I bought. It was painted rather badly and next to my new stuff looked off. And I just couldn't part with my old faithful so he now serves as a death (company) dealer. Hard times indeed. 

 

http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2015-01-16012444_zpsbe4b12ae.jpg

 

I was young and foolish. Back than I had time to kill time with this kinda stuff. I couldn't glue the front panel. I just have to show people the stupidity.

 

Assault Terminators & Rhino's:

Sanguinary Priest:

 

http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2015-01-16013315_zps7cb8c3ed.jpg

 

I repainted this guy more than four times but I think this time I'm happy with him.

 

My humble display right now:

 

http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk37/jacksonseverimben/WIP/2015-01-16013525_zpsa8faf39b.jpg

 

Still so many stuff to complete. I just sold a good chunk of my old stuff to a friend so I need to fill the empty slots.

[marine7312000]

So jealous of your collection and display. My models are relegated to in their case in the closet.

I was the same. Then one day I noticed how stupid it was to spend all that time and money on my models and not being able to see them when I wanted to. I am going to get a second detolf some day for my allied detachments.

I love the new bases. This is my take on a sanguinary priest with valors edge and angels wings. I am happy with it. I especially like the slow strut pose. Nothing says BAMF like a slow walk. He doesn't need to hurry in order to kick your heretic butt. 

[Dolchiate Remembrancer]

Loving the kitbashes Grun! Hating that 12 year old me couldn't have taken his time 15 years ago when I started my BA army to make them look this cool!

[Quixus]

Nice sanguinary priest. For Angel's Wings I would have used the SG jump pack, but those usually are in short supply.

[GrunTeufel]

I have more than enough lying around. But they are smaller so when I tried it on, It made the whole model look a lot less intimidating. I will try painting the jump pack really intricately so that it stands out.

[Quixus]

Smaller? With the wings?

[GrunTeufel]

I don't like wings all that much to be honest thats why didn't even try them. Victorias secret style doesn't fit well with the angels of death IMO. :D

[Quixus]

If you have them, maybe put two of those wing bits from the DC box on the side of the jump pack to make it unique.

 

Yeah nipples do not say Victoria's Secret at all

[sockwithaticket]

Very much enjoying the cleaner photography, now we can see clearly how impressive your models have always seemed to be.

New Priest does indeed look like a BAMF, with the ornate SG armour he looks like more than the average Priest and worthy of bearing those relics.

Sanguinary guard figures are quite big. Almost true scale.

[Brother_Angelus]

Beautiful looking stuff.

I'm also a lover of the Detolf, currently have 4 housing various armies and terrain.
