NiceGuyAdi Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Yep nothing wrong with taking a breather. This is a hobby not a chore, after all. Glad to hear you’re back on it, though, and looking forward to seeing the results with your lightbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valaas Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 First up is some photos from different angles of the Primaris Lt. I did for my HQ choice in 'HHotE'. Next up are the members of my Devastator Squad, I did for the Heavy Support choice for 'HHotE' Dev. Sgt - with combi grav and (annoying) servo-skulls Dev. with Las-cannon (1) Dev. with Grav Dev. with Plasma Cannon Dev. with Las-cannon (2) The Tactical Squad I did, tabletop standard, for HHotE, just needs some snow on the bases, then I'll get some photos up and we can get onto all the new stuff. As always comments, questions and suggestions welcome. Cheers, Valaas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiceGuyAdi Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Nice work, is that three decals you've got on the Primaris Sergeant? I'm liking the basing, too- adding some warm colour helps with such a dark Chapter scheme, but using the snow just ties it back to the model again really well. You've got a bit of chalkiness on some of the white, but that's something most of us struggle with. I figure the only way around that is loads of really thin coats but it just takes forever.

Cheers, I find it is hit or miss with the white, some times its fine other times like on the devs. it ends up a bit chalky! Will increase it next time to 4 thin coats May also be an effect of the resin....went on well for the plastic Primaris....but more chalky on the resin chest piece and shoulder pads/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Captain Vyper Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I am in love with your Primaris LT, especially the the helmet. I think I may do all my primaris with that helmet choice (or at least the inner facemask white) it really makes the sculpt pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate, Loved painting this guy, was a joy to paint and he turned out great. Having to fight hard against temptation to paint more Primaris before I've finished my current back log of regular.

As always, comments, questions and suggestions welcome. Cheers, Valaas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiceGuyAdi Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 The thumbnails don’t do these justice, the full res image shows up so much better. That Tech-Adept is brilliant, nailed the grimdarkness. It all reminds me of the Pilgrym series White Dwarf was running a little while back. Where’s that servo skull from? I’m trying to think up an alternative to armorium cherubs and that looks the ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate, These definitely deserve opening up in full res, though even then my original photos are even sharper as I had to reduce them to below 2mb to upload to B&C. Great minds think alike as it was the 'Pilgrim' series and Blanchitsu in general that inspired this bunch of reprobates. The servo skull is from Forgeworld's Archmagos Draykavac's Abeyant ..... I think I may have some spare, I'll have to have a dig but if I find one I'll pop it in the post. The cabling is resin and starts straight so will need heated and manipulated repeatably until you get it int he shape you want.

Valaas Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 Boxing Day Bash completed...... Here's my heavily converted Chaplin: Chaplin Valaas, attached to the Raven Guard 4th Company.

Shadow Captain Vyper Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 LOTD Helmet? Korvydae Body? BA Chaplain pack and bits? Looks spectacular, I think I may have to rip this off directly I NEED to recast that helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valaas Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 LOTD Helmet? Korvydae Body? BA Chaplain pack and bits? Looks spectacular, I think I may have to rip this off directly I NEED to recast that helmet. Yes, - LOTD helmet. - Korvydae torso and left pauldron - BA Chaplin, left arm, jump pack and right hand +crosius - assault marine right arm (shoulder to wrist). and bolt pistol - honour guard right pauldron - 40k city base. Straight forward conversion but, looks great! Cheers, Valaas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Race Bannon Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I need a recast of that helmet ... or four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiceGuyAdi Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Really unique Chaplain, nice work man! Did you recast the helmet, or just decapitate the LoTD marine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valaas Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 Really unique Chaplain, nice work man! Did you recast the helmet, or just decapitate the LoTD marine? Had to chop the LOTD across the chest, then carefully snip a little at a time to get the head as is. The high collar and jump pack hide any slightly rougher bits.
