Firedrake Cordova Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 (edited) That looks very nice - yellow is normally such a pain to do, and you've done it very well.

Elzender Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 While this is technically a "true-scaled" firstborn marine, the base miniature is one of the limited edition lieutenants GW released a couple years ago, so I hope fraters will let this one slip I present to you Nusk-Nimgir, sukkal of the 6th Sataba of the Marines Saturnine (the chapter is he creation of a fellow hobbyist, but I am not sure whether he is active on the B&C) Spyros, Kurgan the Lurker, Brother Lunkhead and 10 others 12 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you see a nice yellow it was either done with a light primer like this fine gentleman or a zenithal starting with magenta, orange, or brown. Never black. Unless you like painting 20 layers.

Inquisitor Trinity Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 This time it's bikers, vroom vroom! I've got 5 outriders as you can make a Fortis kill team with 5 attached, at the moment the only faction that can have 5 is deathwatch! Feel the righteous fury at speed! As you can only buy outriders in groups of 3 I thought I'd make one into a biker chaplain! All in all I'd say it's come out pretty well don't you think? The helmet is (like most people's chaplain conversions) just a slightly modified Riever helmet. However! I've green stuffed a skeletal ribcage for the torso which looks awesome and I added an iron halo to the helmet. The crozius is from chaplain Cassius with the U filled in. They are Sadran of the Liberators. Lots of details on this one. I added several deathwatch sigils, a backpack eagle, some relics and the book from chaplain Cassius. I could probably have added more details to the legs as they seem a bit bare but oh well, it's still a great model. Other than the crozius none of the pieces are from any chaplain kit. I think it's a pretty sweet conversion! I haven't done quite as much ornamentation as most chaplains but that's mostly because I didn't feel like I could sculpt those details. Still looking pretty great though I'd say. First up is an outrider wielding a chainaxe, with a Judiciar head and big stabby blades on the front of the bike. Looking very cool I'd say. Also a great time to use all the deathwatch vehicle icons I never used! You might have noticed the spikes on the shoulder pad and the deathwatch details including a backpack targeter, wrist scanner, elbow pad, shoulder pad and torso pouches. I really like putting the effort in to make sure they feel like deathwatch. Yason of the Blood Dragons, hence the scales on the side and the bloody chainaxe. I also felt like using the Judiciar head as it was just lying about, I think it fits pretty well with the whole motif. This is probably my favourite outrider of the squad. The chainaxe held aloft, bloodied as he glares at everything through his skull helmet driving his bayoneted bike through xenos. There's a bunch of other little details as well like the ork skull on the back and the scales on the side. This dude is popping a wheelie. I didn't want them all to be the same driving forward pose. This one was the most difficult to do though, it involved pinning the back wheel to the base. Other details include a suppressor headswap which I think is a great look for a biker. I'm glad they do these urban bases so I had something better than the plain ones to put these guys on. In addition to the deathwatch details you can see a book and a candelabra. This is Eriba of the Tome Keepers. Hence the rather large book on their dash. In addition there's the usual deathwatch details, backpack scanner, shoulder pad, wrist cuff and elbow pad. My primaris version of Suberei from kill team Cassius. I was recently gifted another set of the kill team (more on that later) so I'll be able to use some parts in the remaining primarisising of the kill team. For this one I took the sword, shield, dagger and the tail thing on the back of the bike. I'd say it's a fairly good recreation. I'm liking the jinking the bike is doing so it looks like they're swerving around something. As usual plenty of deathwatch bits. They are Mönke of the Sons of Jaghatai. I'm really glad I gave them a swerving pose it really makes them look more dynamic. How does everyone feel about the outriders? Do you use them in games often or do they not really serve a purpose? I reckon as you can get a combat squad of 5 from a Fortis kill them deathwatch can get more use out of them. The 4th outrider is racing into today's post. You can see that I've not changed much about the basic model, just posed them to the side and swapped the head out. The biggest change you can see is the big ravenwing fairing on the back. I do wonder why they've not brought out a multipart kit for them yet, it's a bit strange. The design of the outriders is sooo much better than the old bikes. They've got a chunkyness but still aren't blocky which is great. When building the outriders I just knew I had to have a dark angels successor so I could add a ravenwing fairing. This is Astoric of the Penitent Blades. In addition to the fairing I've leaned into the knightly aesthetic and given them a bladeguard helmet and a tilt plate that conveniently had a sword on it. I keep forgetting how big these guys are! The primaris scale up was definitely a great thing for games workshop to do Gotta admit I was a little lazy with this last one, just a headswap and a gun swap to make them more deathwatchy along with the usual scanner, targeter, shoulder pad etc. This is Cyvon of the reborn Soul Drinkers which are apparently a fully canonical reinstated primaris chapter. I helpfully had a blood angels winged chalice I could stick on the bike and the other details are sculpted. Think it looks pretty good! Hope you like them!
