Grazcruzk Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Good day to everyone! I hope you had a happy everything, if you celebrate this time of year. I'm hesitant to even say this but I think I'm done with my Dornian Heresy Sanguinor. This project went on much longer than I wanted it to but I'm pretty happy with how it looks. I really wanted to do something with cotton strands on the base and maybe coming out of the gut as sort of a 'crimson miasma' to represent the +1A aura and the rerolls in challenges. Maybe in the future. Done for now! I've got my BaC box and I bought another razorback a few days ago, as well as a fresh can of primer. Now all I need is a warm enough day to spray. I will probably do the termies first as assaults, the models are just too good. I keep thinking a fun/thematic unit for DH Angels would be a dev squad with x3 H.bolter and a MM. Then stick them in a las/plas razor with a bio libby and hope to get endurance. Maybe even Mephiston. The devs get thirsty, too.

Grazcruzk Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Hello, my fellow gamers and hobbyists! Finally got one of the speeders done! The second is ready to be painted but I might do something small before going at another vehicle. I started on a new base for my DH Sanguinor and I've got a TDA Chaplain with Valor's Edge that is about ready for paint. In other news I've got some tacticals primed and some las/plas razorbacks to fix up. I'd really like to pay homage to the old razorbacks by making the turret have an exposed gunner. Las in the middle with plas on both sides and the gunner's shield could be based on the sanguinary guard wings. I'm not sure how well I could do it, but I think if I pool together all my tank bits/crew I may be able to get three with minimal fabrication, they just might not have the mobility you'd expect from a normal kit. We shall see though! For now, here is the first speeder! cc always welcome, take care! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Nice conversion - is that the heavy bolter from the BaC box, and a Chaos Warrior shield? I do think it could do with some areas being picked out in a different colour, black or metallic perhaps, and some iconography on the shield...

Grazcruzk Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Thanks, yes on both accounts for the bits! I agree 100% about needing to be broken up a bit more. I've been trying to figure out what I want to do besides just red. I had also considered doing the inlaid section with the hatches in metallic. I'll have to cypher on it some more. Thanks for the input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) What might look cool is a stripe down the middle of the shield, white maybe, with the chapter symbol over the top... Like this! http://www.themightybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Graz-Landspeeder.jpg Also, you could try painting the recessed parts of the 'bumper' thing (?!) metallic. That's what I did on mine: http://www.braintyrefire.com/personal/w40k/Blood-Angels/Blood-Angels-Land-Speeder-01.jpg Edited January 17, 2016 by LutherMax Brother Raul 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazcruzk Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Yeah the bumper! Great idea for the shield. I was also thinking some white, the shield looks like a good place to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grazcruzk Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hey everyone, small update tonight! I've got the TDA Chaplain with Valour's Edge about finished. Tried some liquid something or other between the rocks on the base. It needs something else to make it less like lava and more like.. I don't know. Something else. Anywhoo, here are a few pictures! I've also been thinking about trying a different color scheme. Black and white halved with black on the left, white on the right and a red strip about as wide as the vent on top of a marine's helmet down the center. It's always been a favorite color combination for me and I think it plays pretty good with the Blood Angels. LutherMax 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Chappie looks good! For a lava base you'll need to build the red up through orange and yellow to white, like this: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y68/Tagsta/Warhammer40k/tutorial.jpg Grazcruzk and Paikis 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazcruzk Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Thanks for the info, that is a nice step by step! I will have to build it up a little more for sure. The problem I ran into initially was that I misplaced my orange! Should be getting it back today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grazcruzk Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Thanks, Charlo! I thought he might look a little too much like Horus color-wise when I first started. He was almost a libby with stormshield, but basically he would've been the same libby I did as part of my ETL challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazcruzk Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 Good evening, fellow scions of Sanguinius! I've been working a little bit this last week and here's what happened. I mocked up a custom las/plas razorback turret, but it has a ways to go. It was obvious right away that an exposed gunner was going to be too bulky and parts intensive so I used the standard turret base and have sanguinary guard wings for side plating on the turret/weapons. I haven't gotten a targeter or power cables worked in yet but the hinge that lets it aim up and down works! I gave the Chaplain a little more work, mostly the base. I also painted up a few test tactical marines. One in the black/white halved I wanted to try (which I almost immediately decided I didn't like) and one in a white and red that I pondered over for a few days. I really thought I was going to like the halved but it just didn't quite feel Blood Angels. Thanks for looking and may the glory of our Primarch fill your day!

LutherMax Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I do prefer the guy with the red helmet, shoulders, pack etc to the half / half. I really like the scheme actually! The chaplain looks great too - lava base is spot on now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I like them both. the half/half scheme looks more unusual than the other one. The white/red one looks a bit like a World Eater that didn't quite finish repainting his armour after the heresy. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I think the Black/White scheme with the red looks awesome, but people might mistake them for Omega Marines... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomus Sardauk Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 The Black-and-White scheme is an interesting deviation from the standard halved scheme with the simple addition of the dividing red strip. However, I have to admit I still prefer the simplicity of the Red-and-White scheme, the bright tone of the white helps the red really pop and the shoulders, head & weapon placement is a nice scheme setup akin to the Flesh Tearers & pre-heresy World Eaters that will probably be far easier to replicate en-masse for your army.

Grazcruzk Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Thanks for the input everyone, I appreciate it! I was definitely influenced by the Flesh Tearers and pre-heresy World Eaters for the white/red. I brought the red up a shade today and got him on a decent looking base.

Grazcruzk Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Hello B&C! I've got an update for today. Been painting on marine bitz. Integrating BA specific bitz with the BaC box is a little daunting just because there is so much there. I'm wanting to pick out at least one BA specific bit per BaC marine for now, leaving the saltire pieces for more DC. Hopefully they mesh well enough! I've also gotten more done on the las/plas turret. Here are a few pictures: Sgt with a familiar loadout. las/plas turret progress. Should be able to make two more no problem. Still looking into what to use for targeter bitz. Thissss is a preview of an inquisitorial ally. Karamazov is an old favorite of mine but I've used up most of the bitz I had from his model. Good news is this dreadknight and aegis defense line volunteered for the cause. It's on the dreadknight base, but that's alright. I'll get a rider on there and flesh it out some more as I go. That's all I've got to offer this time! Hope everyone is having a fine day! LutherMax 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudan Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 That robot dog is crazy! Kudos. I dig the color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazcruzk Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Thanks, Boudan! I really didn't think the hound would be that big but I guess I under-estimated the mass of the dreadknight! I've got more BaC and DC bits primed on the sprue but it's been slow-ish going. Might be faster if I didn't work up from a black base on pretty much everything. >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudan Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) I paint my mustard-tinged Lamenters from black primer. I only want to do things the most awkward way ;) Edit: you're the second Frater today who mentioned doing some of their painting process on-sprue. Is this common? It's blowing my mind.

Grazcruzk Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) You know this is only the second or so time I've done it. I like being able to just hold the sprue while I paint but I still forget to clean the lines before spray. I think pieces with bigger joining spots like the BaC backpack vents might be better clipped and cleaned after priming depending on how you paint. I didn't with the first set but the rest are still just primed. Maybe just clip the sprue back and leave it attached by the bottom one.
