Graz's BAs: 7.4- Gravis Captain and more

[Father Mapple]

"They didn't come out quite as good as I hoped, I plan on touching them up some more later."

 

Uh, if that's not as good as you hired, is be amazed to see what could be better! Looks awesome. Offing on your Tycho is awesome

[Grazcruzk]

Thank you, Father Maple! Some of the checks, especially toward the middle, are more rectangular than square. It may be a smaller deal than I'm making it out to be though, maybe I just looked at it too long >.< 

[LutherMax]

They look good to me - and Tycho is awesome, really great conversion!

[Xenith]

Preds looking ace!

[Quixus]

Great looking minis. Is the power sabre on the beakie Sgt. from B@C? If not, where is it from?

[Xenith]

Looks like it's the one from the Van Vet box. There's a couple of old style looking weapons in there.

[Grazcruzk]

Thanks to you guys, I appreciate it. Xenith, you're right about the sword! I had a vv kit from the overkill box waiting to be picked apart.

Hey, all. I hope the grim dark is treating everyone as well as it knows how! Things have gotten heretical as of late. I guess I needed a bit of a break from white and red. Mostly focusing on how to handle painting over the textured paint. I started with Blood for the Blood God as a base coat with nulin oil gloss in the cracks. Bloodletter was used for the edges and raised areas and for the green edges are Waywatcher Green over Wrack White.

 

Here is how it is coming along:

 

 

I think the effect on the armour is good, but I didn't shave this model down anyplace so he doesn't exactly have the malnourished vibe.

 

Next up is The Sanguinor, revisited. I wanted to try some textured paint on him and work on touching up the paint job some. Here is how that is going:

 

 

I'm really thinking about replacing the head altogether and making something based on a death mask. I don't think it's terrible, but I do think I took it down too far in a few areas.

 

Saved what is probably the biggest bit of heresy for last. Bat-Mephiston. With the arrival of Guilliman's rules out there and a metal daemon prince model that has seen a better days in my bitz box I saw only one option. The sword and hand of oblivion will be represented easily enough, the cowl might pass as a halo, the life support will be the hardest I think. My first thought was to build it around the hump on the back, but I might saw the hump completely off just to have a clean base to build on. That will come later though. Here are some super roughs:

 

 

 

The shoulder pads are there mostly to block out the frame, Not 100% what I will use there yet.

 

Thanks everyone for looking, c&c always welcome.

 

 

[Quixus]

Awesome conversion.

 

It's a bit late though. That look would have fit much better with the Ward dex, when Mephi almost had daemon prince stats.

Well the Marine in the first pic would make a great World Eater as they are described in the fluff (armor being red by all the blood etc.) :D

Hello, everyone! Got a few pictures of my assault squad today. I've slowed down some with 8th incoming, but I finally got them ready for action. DH stuff has been slow, the creativity is a little down, but it's still going. Here's a few pictures of the ground-pounders:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking, everyone! Here's to 8th, Let's hope for a sweet melee option on landspeeders!

[Damon Nightman]

great as always!

[Grazcruzk]

Thank you, Brother Lemartes! I think next I will start getting my GBBO entries based.

[Charlo]

Top notch, love the beaky commitment!

 

...And the guy drawing a chainsword xD

[9x19 Parabellum]

Very nice looking!

[Grazcruzk]

Thank you, brothers!

 

 

...And the guy drawing a chainsword xD

 

I felt a strong nodachi vibe while I was getting the bits together, I figured I had to!

[Chaplain Gunzhard]

Always a big fan of your gritty, grimdark style BA. Love these dude.

[Grazcruzk]

Belated thanks, Chaplain Gunzhard!

 

I've a few pictures to share today. I got the DI box, but I haven't gotten all that far into it. I've been painting some scouts, giving my beloved LRC a facelift, and filling out a HF dev squad.

 

 

First up is the LRC. Updating the paint and trying to fill in some of the many gaps.

 

Here is the dev squad, coming right along.

 

and some scouts here. Had some trouble with a few of the pictures, not the greatest lighting situation.

 

 

Lastly, here are a few of my Gravis Captain and a one with him next to kitbashed Tycho.

 

 

 

Thanks again for looking!
