Jolemai Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) For those who aren't aware, my main army is Blood Angels in 40k and I have a blog located over in the BA sub-forum. As my collection has grown over the years, I've started to incorporate some of the minor Imperial forces into my collection and rather than clutter up my main blog, I've decided to move some of them out to here. I should point out that this blog will be on a slow burn: I'm not the fastest painter at the best of times and the stuff to be added here is done on an as-and-when basis. In fact, updates post-Inquisitor (which I need complete before April 28th) will be jostling for attention with my terrain blog and as you can see, that needs some attention... Anyway, without further ado, please enjoy the blog and I look forward to your comments Edited June 24, 2021 by Jolemai WarriorFish 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 Assassins My last Apocalypse game was in February 2016 and I needed to round off my Assassin collection to field the Formation (the one in the Codex, not the Apoc one as that's borked following the latest Codex release). Early WIP I wanted to try an ethereal technique for the Cullexus rather than the basic grey.) Here's how they have been since then (for our Apoc games, our group requires stuff to be battle ready. So three base colours on a model and to be based) Eversor Shouldn't take too long to finish him off (when I eventually get around to doing it...) He's based like my Blood Angels which makes sense, but maybe they should have had their own scheme? Cullexus Going to preface this with "I'm not happy with it". I tried to do an ethereal look, so on a white base I've applied a turquoise and a purple wash (the classic washes from the second edition era of paints). My options here are the salvage it by drybrushing over it with white (or Ulthuan Grey which I now own) or taking it back to a bsae colour (either white of Ulthuan) and following the ethereal technique detail by Duncan on the Warhammer TV videos. Thoughts? Captain Idaho, Prot and WarriorFish 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 Assassins My other Assassins haven't been touched for a good while, but I thought I'd show off their current state: Vindicare Been like this for a few years now. Rather than the classic black I've opted for a n urban grey - it's basically Codex Grey drybrushed over black as I wanted a broken up look to the synskin. The weapons are Fortress Grey and this scheme goes well with my scenery (my BA bases and scenery is black -> Codex -> Fortress (drybrish on bases) -> Bleached Bone (drybrush)) When I get around to doing to the detail he needs paints which wont give away his position! Could be tricky... Callidus This was painted almost 20 years ago and was the first Assassin I bought. As I very much doubt I'll buy Overkill, I'll either repaint her or spruce her up eventually...)

WarriorFish Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 You can't go wrong with some assassins, they're cool models and a great way to flesh out an army I think that matching the basing scheme is a good idea - I've done it for each of my associated armies (all Imperial armies have one basing scheme, all Chaos have another etc) as it helps unify them on the table top Inquisitors are another good way to flex your hobby muscles and add single models to a force, they can be pretty cheap too Jolemai 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I like em! The ethereal effect is nice, I think once you get some highlights on the skull it'll all come together :) Jolemai 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolemai Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 Every so often, the Officio Assassnorum dispatches Assassins to warzones that my Blood Angels are fighting in and their exploits can be be found here. The reports you are interested in is: BA vs Eldar - 1500 points - Vindicare BA Death Company vs Eldar - 1250 points - Calidus BA Death Company vs Eldar - 1250 points - Calidus BA Death Company Vs Eldar - 1250 points - Eversor There's also a 21.5k per side Apocalypse game from a few years ago which saw a Calidus and Vindicare take to the field, one of whom had a great impact on the game...

Jolemai Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 Still trying to decide if I should magnetise his bolt pistol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicodemus Doloroso Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Still trying to decide if I should magnetise his bolt pistol... Probably not a bad idea. The digital codex still has bargain basement pricing on some of the pistol options, like the 2 meltabomb inferno pistol. You may find a use for them once in a while.

Jolemai Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Only got Battlescribe to hand right now so take with salt, but it lists the inferno pistol as two melta bombs regardless of sourcebook for the Inquisitor.

Nicodemus Doloroso Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I haven't invested in the new Agents codex since my hobby money has been going to getting my BA tournament worthy. BattleScribe may not be wrong but I thought I had read they "updated" the weapon prices in the new one (while also making armour upgrades for the acolytes more reasonable).

CaptainHelion Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 They have updated a lot of things, but there's still the occasional thing like this. Jolemai 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 OH Inquisitor Messed the bolt pistol connection up by the look of it. Bulk out with a bit of green stuff so it fits better?

Nicodemus Doloroso Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Not sure what to suggest for the pistol hand, I've never done magnetization but he looks good Jolemai! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 A bit of GS could be ok, but generally it's better to try and get a cleaner fit - easier said than done though. I'd wait until you've assembled and magnetised the other options first, as they might change what you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolemai Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Like the extended diy backpack! Never again! It's been inspired by the new Cypher model and the blurb that goes with it. I had a go at this tutorial for the ridges, then moved the exhaust ports around before making the sword rest which is green stuff wrapped around a paper clip and then I've tried to model a cushion for the sword to rest on.
