Reinhards Primaris Crusade

[Sword Brother Adelard]

I have gone for the hooded skull helm from the interrogator chaplain.

I have gone for the hooded skull helm from the interrogator chaplain.

Actually one of my top other candidates, though I don't have the model on hand. It wouldn't be the first Dark Angel I purchase to soley plunder for bits

[Sword Brother Adelard]

I bought both the interrogators for this box.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The Chaplain is well-painted.

[Marshal Reinhard]

One half of the intercessors are, well I hesitate to use the word "done", but here they are.

I also did one of the THICC bois

Weather's too hot for me to whine any more about how unfinished they are, see you next week.

[Doghouse]

Looking good.

[Brother Christopher]

Cool stuff, I like the uniform colour scheme and the classic-looking red housings for the guns.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Your Intercessors are well-painted. I'm glad they bear swords like Sons of Dorn and Disciples of Sigismund, unlike the pansy Ultramarines.

[Marshal Reinhard]

Painted this guy during the weekend. Very happy with how he turned out. Which should be evident as I changed my icon.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work. Will he be a Sword Brethren, or will you promote him to Marshal of your crusade?

[Marshal Reinhard]

Fair question I suppose, given that he's now my icon, but no he's clearly marked as a sword brethren with the bright red pauldron rims & cross on black pauldrons. His two brothers will follow soon, as will the blade guard castellan from the box.

[Marshal Mattias]

Sterling work brother; perhaps your finest yet!

[Urkh]

A true Templar! I am not of the primaris persuasion, but he looks fantastic.

[Sword Brother Adelard]

The tabard edging is special.

[Marshal Buchs]

Really nice outcome! Making me rethink a few of my bladeguard plans aha!

[Marshal Reinhard]

Got a package in the mail the other day, some chains I ordered long ago that finally saw fit to arrive.

Anyone remember this guy?

This is about as far back as when I decided I wanted chains. It's taken a while for me to find ones I liked and for them to get here. I got some really tiny ones (for model ships?) because I didn't want them to have rings large enough to fit 3 marine fingers through.

The model has 3 small pieces of chain: Around the pistol, a chain necklace (its really to hide an ugly seem that arose from me having trouble assembling this particular mini. as well as small one from his belt that relic thing is supposed to hang from.

Next I decied to repaint the weapons of some my bolt rifle intercessors, and I put chains around the one. Are they perhaps too small for the weapons? Oh well, they're definately not too big.

Also painted the other two THICC marines from Indomitus box

Clearly not done with the highlights.

And then I started, and mostly completed the Bladeguard Castellan and Ancient.

As is typical with me, I've been mostly lazy with my highlighting game on the black armor, so I need to go over a bunch of these.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Fine works.

[Brother Carpenter]

Chains looking great.

Where did you find them?

[Marshal Reinhard]

https://www.modelerscentral.com/ I believe it was. They were sent from Australia, so it took longer and was a bit pricey,

[Gederas]

Okay I have to ask:

Where is that brilliant head on the Bladeguard Ancient from?

 

(also hate to be that guy, but.... Volkites are red, not green. They're heat guns. The coils are supposed to look like old school toaster coils almost)

The head is from the deathwatch watch master

 

and I know my chooms well, problem is red energy on red gun would probably not work.. suppose i could not have a red gun though

Oh, so it is. I completely forgot about that head

 

And the red on red works You just need to highlight the coils up to Yellow. I did it on my Indomitus LT and it works quite well.

 

I did the coils on mine like this:

1. Base: Iron Warriors
2. Shade: Nuln Oil
3. Contrast: Blood Angels Red
4. Layer 1 (all layers are only on the coils): Evil Sunz Scarlet
5. Layer 2: Wild Rider Red
6. Layer 3: Troll Slayer Orange
7. Layer 4: Fire Dragon Bright
8. Layer 5: Yriel Yellow
9. Layer 6: Flash Gitz Yellow

The first layer was all over the coils, and each successive one was further and further towards the middle. The result is really, really good. I'll take a picture of my Indomitus LT later on tonight when I'm done with the backpack so you can see. Because as a Dark Angels player, all my weapon casings are Red as well.

Some progress during the weekend, though apparently i had the shakes so the pictures are a bit more blurry than usual.

The Bladeguard are now a squad:

And some more progress on the Bladeguard Castellan, and here's the captain too for good measure:

Hmm, I'll have to try something along these lines

[Bjorn Firewalker]

DAMN, the Bladeguard Castellan bears a lot of bling. He makes the CAPT look impoverished.

 

Excellent work on the models.

Yeah, the result is pretty good. This is my Indomitus Lieutenant for reference with the "red gun with proper Volkite Coil colours":
