Red Skullz Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Hi, I've got a thread going in the hobby forum but this seemed like a fine place also! Oh and I'm on BoLS. I'm making an armoured battlegroup first as it's the easiest way of getting a painted army on its feet. I will continue and make a siege regiment as well. I've got everything I need for it. Here's the stuff I've finished so far. http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a607/tomkristians/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1098_1_zpscx7eor3c.jpg http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a607/tomkristians/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1123_1_zpsdthhaaup.jpg http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a607/tomkristians/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1042_1_zpsnxq2t9xj.jpg More pics and WiPs here https://bigbossredskullz.wordpress.com/category/dkok/ I'll keep you all posted from this point :) -t Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303871-dkok-armoured-battlegroup-143reg/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Very cool, the colour scheme is great! The basing and weathering is a perfect complement too, excellent work Red! I look forward to seeing more - especially more tanks ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303871-dkok-armoured-battlegroup-143reg/#findComment-3959944 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skullz Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Thank you for those very kind words mate, they're appreciated, a lot :) Oh and there will be loads more armour :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303871-dkok-armoured-battlegroup-143reg/#findComment-3960041 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mehman Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I'm digging this so far. The tracks need more mud. No, I joke. But seriously, maybe. That colour scheme is really great. Keep it up ! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303871-dkok-armoured-battlegroup-143reg/#findComment-3960220 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skullz Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Cheers mate :D Regarding mud. I want the end finish to have some crunchy wet snow but I need to figure out how to do it and test it on something else before I apply it.

Red Skullz Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Thought I'd join in on the Iron Sleet Invitational. This is the early WiP of my contribution. An ordo Xenos inquisitor protected by his servitors. https://bigbossredskullz.wordpress.com/2015/02/26/uninvitational-a-merciless-wip/ http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a607/tomkristians/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1131_1_zpsreqqdyo8.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303871-dkok-armoured-battlegroup-143reg/#findComment-3962478 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skullz Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 The builds are done :) More pics with explanations in the blog https://bigbossredskullz.wordpress.com/2015/02/27/uninvitational-a-merciless-wip-2/ http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a607/tomkristians/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1140_1_zpsr85pxfgt.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303871-dkok-armoured-battlegroup-143reg/#findComment-3963479 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 They look good, are you going to drill the assault cannon barrels out? With all the converting effort you've already put in it makes sense to go the extra mile!

Red Skullz Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Thank you :) that's a very good suggestion, I'll do that. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303871-dkok-armoured-battlegroup-143reg/#findComment-3963562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Ros Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Great painting and conversions. I especially like the weathering and mud on the tanks. Looking forward to seeing more. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303871-dkok-armoured-battlegroup-143reg/#findComment-3963736 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Mehman Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Great work! Your blog really gives a sense of depth to these creations. I think "Peacock" is my favourite even though I did not care for it at first. Your backstory really made him funny. Good job and keep it up!

Red Skullz Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Wow, thanks for the kind words mate! You know what's funny, it's that I've gotten the best feedback on Peacock :) I didn't expect it but I appreciate it.

Red Skullz Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Last minute correction on Peacock, drilling out the barrels ;) Other than that go check out the great find I did when I was back in my hometown this weekend and the rest of the WiPs from everyone else in the Iron Sleet Invitational https://bigbossredskullz.wordpress.com/2015/03/03/uninvitational-a-merciless-wip-3/ http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a607/tomkristians/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1160_1_zpsn4feoyub.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303871-dkok-armoured-battlegroup-143reg/#findComment-3967528 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chefzilla Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I'm loving the almost Russian WW2 Winter theme on that armor. Nice looking tanks. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303871-dkok-armoured-battlegroup-143reg/#findComment-3967603 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mehman Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Your stuff and Mikko's Imperial Councelor look great! When do you get to paint the Inquisitor and his two chums? Also, great find on that box. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303871-dkok-armoured-battlegroup-143reg/#findComment-3967608 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skullz Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 @Chefzilla: thank you! Russian ww2 where definitely part of my inspiration when painting these. @Mehman: thanks, and I agree on Mikko's trio. I really like them myself. I need to get the painting started asap as I'll have to really push myself on these. So the sooner I can block out the base colours the better :) Yeah now I just need to figure out what to use it as :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303871-dkok-armoured-battlegroup-143reg/#findComment-3967830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skullz Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Had to get started on the painting. This isn't half bad I guess but as I'm a INQ 28 / Blanchitsu noob do give some feedback :) More pics in the blog https://bigbossredskullz.wordpress.com/2015/03/05/uninvitational-a-merciless-pip-mean-machine/ http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a607/tomkristians/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG1162_1_zpsnitn8wra.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303871-dkok-armoured-battlegroup-143reg/#findComment-3969462 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mehman Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Good Emperor he looks snazzy ! What colour will the base be? My only critique could be the colour of the harpoon. Why is it the same as the fist? All in all a great looking start! EDIT: Never mind about the base colour as I just had a read of your blog. Nice.

Red Skullz Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Thanks :D Good question regarding the harpoon but what color could it be? I think the end appendages on the arms needed something to break the monotony of the dark metals.

Father Mehman Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Have you tried a chipped white? A nod to Moby Dick, perhaps (white harpoon instead of white whale)? Of course, that'd be my humour. There's always a shiny brass colour to consider. I know you're looking at dark metals but, hey, you already have one hand gold. Or, via the Dusk Raiders, keep the harpoon gold and make him have a red right hand.

Red Skullz Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Yeah I like the last suggestion with red hand, chipped of course. Then I can perhaps get another +I+ in.
