SnakeChisler Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I don't have a progress log so thought I'd start 1 I was going to do some pledge stuff but got sidetracked anyways this is the start of my current project which is a Veterans / Command unit magnetized pimped and eventually painted, the last of the plastics arrived the other day and the Company master is the 1st I've a Chaplain on a bike so the Chaplain 1/2 of the double Lion will have to wait (small matter of transports as well) The question is how pimp do you want the guy to be I don't like the sticky up wings but you have to make him stand out, so far he's mean and moody but could do with extra bling. Grav pistol and Mace of Redemption at the moment, could go for the combi-grav and Relic blade but given every arm in all these units is likely to be magnet job then choices choices Solrac and Chaplain Lucifer 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316636-snakechislers-wip/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbaeza94 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Can't wait to see what you do with him. I've been thinking of Ivanus Enkomi for a conversion for my successor chapter,I might steal some ideas from you! One thing you can do is smoke stacks.very da, and they look mean. http://zealotminiatures.com/shop-2/#!/Cleansing-Fire-Braziers-x2/p/32468262/category=6272033 these are the ones i will be using in mine. Edit: Oops! Thought you were speaking of the chaplain not the master. I like master Balthazar helmet, very unique, but if you don't want wings, maybe you could not necessarily blind him out, but a special shoulder pad with and some added gold trim to around the visible armor would be nice. Maybe even makings on the hood.

Thanks for the link I had a good browse and although I didn't buy anything it inspired me to knock up an Iron Halo Think this was off a HQ Bike sprue Anyways progress so far with some base painting done for good measure Dark Rage and Solrac 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316636-snakechislers-wip/#findComment-4241411 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbaeza94 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Brilliant. I love your robe (surplice, surcoat) color. Where is that grav pistol from? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316636-snakechislers-wip/#findComment-4244940 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeChisler Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 The bulk of the parts are from the Veteran pack, the Halo is from the Ravenwing bike pack, the Grav pistol is from a Tactical or Devastator frame the pistol arm is from a bike frame as I have a number as all my bike squads have either a pistol or are magnetized to take different assault weapons such as flamers the other source of arms is the Ravenwing Knights. I'm currently putting together an assault squad + more Tacs for the Demi company but got sidetracked in doing some vets, currently just built / painted the 2 grav cannons but have the frames. I could do with an Eviscerator but I'm not getting the assault box coz I don't need the jump packs Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316636-snakechislers-wip/#findComment-4245572 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeChisler Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 OK got back on working to finish my Demi Company Hero over its was now back to the Grunts Aside from a Dev squad some guys from the Dark Vengeance box set I've not really got a lot of Greenwing and I was getting nagged by my gaming group to stop proxying bolter guys as an Assault Squad. I build the bodies, paint then than add arms weapons afterwards so unless I have the time to do the job properly the plastic stays on the frame anyways task 2 complete Assault Squad and ride finished. Not sure what's going to happen next I may well tidy up my Tac and dev squads & finally build those Rhino / Razorbacks I got at Xmas though I really want to do the Command squad and the new Chaplain.

SnakeChisler Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 I've got the 1st 1/2 of a Demi built and am now starting on the 2nd 1/2 as part of the ETL Haven't played with the Chaplain yet but used the Interrogator model Wisywig he is truly awesome, paired him with Ezekiel was buddying with a Grey Knight squad the other week after the Low orbit insertion of Tau which wiped out a DreadKnight and 4 of the terminators our counter was one of the most perfect rounds ever, my mate got off Hammerhand & Force after Vortexing a load of Tau Zek mind wormed a Riptide then on the Charge my 2 guys just nuked everything they touched. The Chaplain was S10 on the charge and 1 punched BuffMander. The wrath of the Emperor was a sight to behold. The death toll from the one turn was 3 Broadsides (under the Vortex) a Riptide ending up with BS1, 1 Buffmander 4 Drones and 6 Battlesuits, its days like these that make you feel good to be a Dark Angel player my mate was gobsmacked at the amount of damage the 2 characters did.

SnakeChisler Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 Update - tried the yellow striping on the pod and gave up its too time consuming for a 55 point model, there a pain to build at the best of times anyways nearly finished they go together quickly after a certain point and I've got the washes airbrushing as well just some highlights and then I need to look at weathering. Doing the Assault squad 1st as its their ride and there coming along, its hard to see but the models have had a spray base green on top a black/green ink wash followed by a slightly lighter green sprayed lightly from range and more on the top + ink washes into the creases Galthan Ironsturm, Tygwyn and Epher 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316636-snakechislers-wip/#findComment-4405344 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnakeChisler Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 so after the push for 1 squad + transport last week this week is the Devastator squads turn Been reluctant to rush and the job is looking good these are the weapon options so far (need to check on what I signed up for ;)) and as I had a session with the airbrush I did some objective markers as I'm one to get sidetracked been needing some for a while going to use a decal to number them then give them a spray varnish. Airbrush wise it went well with minimal bleed into the non green areas for manual touch up Epher 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316636-snakechislers-wip/#findComment-4409406 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnakeChisler Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Been long time since I did some DA stuff got double demied out a bit so been doing a bit of Deathwatch as everyone in the club stared kill team. Anyway still running games with a single demi + Allies and just finished painting St Celestine so built this guy to use her saintly ap2 relic sword. Its magnetized so I can swap in the mace of Redemption Abeor Gilarion - Captain Artificer Armour Blade of the Worthy JumpPack Sadly or Gladly depending on your view point he had an outing in a double demi with St Celestine + Chaplain on Bike + a Deathwatch Vanguard and they swept all before them in double quick time (reason for cheesing the Deathwatch Vanguard Vets is re-roll failed charges and no loss of bonuses for a multi charge + saintly blessings) Raztalin and Chaplain Raeven 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316636-snakechislers-wip/#findComment-4658993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
