morroccomole Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Hello all, just thought I'd show off my latest handiwork. I plan on turning this thread into my regimental WIP page, once I get better photos of my army.Most of the bits came from the Cadian command sprues, with the exception being the aquila, which I found on a Valkyrie sprue. The purity seal was (carefully) clipped from one of the regimental banners, after I removed the flag portion to make his priestly stave. http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/yy99/morroccomole/2015-09-03%2020.08.35_zps9yqdszxs.jpg http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/yy99/morroccomole/2015-09-03%2020.08.54_zpsp5vl4hxd.jpg He's been primed in white, and is awaiting the mood to strike when I am motivated enough to paint!

nismogrendel Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Awesome! I like the guardsman torso and shoulders. Gives him a good battle priest vibe :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morroccomole Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Thanks! I originally planned to use the arms from vehicle kits that didn't have shoulder pads, but I couldn't get the look I wanted with what I had. So since the arms were going to have shoulder pads, I figured I'd use the command torso with flak armor. I might paint it in the inverse of the color scheme of my army, just to make him stand out as one of the Ecclisiarchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Nice work. The Astra Ministorum seems popular at the moment ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 He looks good, I'd add some more religious stuff to top him off and make sure his staff doesn't have people confusing him for a psyker. There are a variety of suitable bits you can use but you also can't beat scribble script for adding some faith :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walter h Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 You could green stuff a book for the staff. Scribble script would look good on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Mostly just your standard 40k extras - scrolls, purity seals and the fancier stuff like incense and cords that Marines can get (DA especially). The Imperial Cult does like its trinkets so you can't go wrong making them look like crazy hoarders :lol: Looking forward to seeing your priest, perhaps painted up soon? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morroccomole Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 I recently started painting again, after a long pause, so I thought I would post a photo sampling my army, so you get a feel for the theme I decided to go with. I started a year ago with rudimentary skills, and I've been improving with every model I paint. Fluff-wise, I haven't figured out a name or homeworld yet, but I was inspired by the Mordian Iron guard when I chose the paint scheme as urban-style vehicles, and dress uniforms instead of tactical colors. http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah197/Aaron_Joseph_Solley/Army%20on%20parade_zps2gk8l3er.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 They look good, I really like the camo on the Banewolf :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morroccomole Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 I was going for tiger stripes, but I'm quite pleased with how the Banewolf turned out. I wanted to do one of those shark mouths on the front section (a la Flying Tigers,) but it's a bit beyond my abilities at the moment. I guess I could use masking tape to create a stencil to lay over the vehicle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 You could do yes, a bit of tape and masking goes a long way to helping you do something but I think it looks great as it is :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 You can also use a soft pencil to mark out the design then paint. If the pencil lines go wrong just use a soft rubber and start again. This is what I did with my DA Linebreaker squadron siege shield design and the Valkryie wing art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morroccomole Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 That is actually a really great tip! Thank you, Elmo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morroccomole Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 Finally got around to painting the priest, in between waiting for coats to dry on my Valkyries.
