Spaced Hulk's Sons of Dorn

Cheers!

 

The body and head are both from Kromlech. They do two sets of Primaris scaled models with robes and tabards. I bought them originally for my Dark Angels, but this one in particular seemed perfect as an alternative Chaplain model.

Very cool looking Chaplain.

What paints do you use for the gold on the shoulderpads?

[Spaced Hulk]

Cheers! It's GW Brass Scorpion, one of my favourite metallics. I must confess, I actually copied that part of the scheme (and the idea of varying which armour plates are bronze) from Lord Valrak's Executioners, which were a big inspiration for this army.

Thanks for that. I've ordered stuff from them before, but missed those. Off to flex my PayPal account... :)

No worries mate. They're all nice sculpts so I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I finished building the Deathspeaker today. Pretty happy with the end result, so I've taken a few more pics before I prime him.

Holstered Absolver bolt pistol (for Travis Bickle/Dirty Harry impressions):

Obligatory chained holy Tome. Includes an optional human thighbone for use as a book mark:

I wanted the back mounted skulls to mirror the sculpted detail on his chest. Not sure whether they're a shrine of Imperial heroes or trophies taken from vile heretics.

Obviously I'm thinking of a predominantly black colour scheme, perhaps using a very dark grey for the tabard & hood, with a metallic looking black for the armour.

Finally, I've also finished building and priming a load more Intercessors:

I really dig the body on the Deathspeaker, looking forward to seeing more of it finished!

[Spaced Hulk]

Decided to roll my Crimson Fists into this thread as well. Like the Executioners, these are still at a very WIP stage:

Battle Brother Montana

"Say hello to my little friend!"

Pretty much finished, just need to apply some transfers.

Next up is the Intercessor Sergeant to lead Montana's squad. He's based on a classic GW Veteran Srg model, and inspired by an awesome conversion by Brother Chaplain Kage.

Finally for today, here's the commander of my Crimson Fists strike force:

"Recovered from the genestealer infested depths of a vast space hulk, the body of Crimson Fist's Captain Alessio Cortez was shattered beyond the limits of even his legendary resilience. Only by crossing the perilous Rubicon Primaris was he able to survive and resume his duties to his Chapter. Now, reborn as a Primaris Space Marine, he continues to test his endurance and new found abilities like never before, unceasing in his fight against the enemies of the Imperium."

The guy pointing like the old school model is excellent, the painted one is done very well!

[Ryltar Thamior]

Really cool work there updating classic concepts to the modern era; the Cortez in particular

Oh man that's a great idea! There's another old school sergeant where he has a storm bolter in one hand and he's lifting a sword up in the air you should do too. I can get a picture I've got one of them lying around here I salvaged the storm bolter from ages ago. I took a quick picture of the model I'm talking about.

That's the old Captain model from the end of 2nd Edition/start of 3rd (I have a couple of those stashed away somewhere too). It's tempting, but I'm pretty sure it's been the inspiration for both the multi-part Captain and the standard Primaris Captain already. Not sure how I'd represent the storm bolter either, as I'm trying to stay WYSIWYG. Will give it some thought though

[Kolgrim DeathHowl]

Always liked that model, I've got one for my SW army in storage right now down at my aunts house. I'll be getting them soon I can't to open the time box it's all stuff from the late 90s early 2000s I have in that tackle box lol.

It definitely seems to be some of the inspiration behind the Primaris Captain, and the way out stay WYSIWYG is to use the Auto-Bolt Rifle - closest to a storm bolter for the Primaris.

[Spaced Hulk]

Finished (well, apart from the base, and painting, of course

[TechType]

Those reimagined sarges are absolutely amazing!

Very neat work indeed, and I love the scale photo - scalecreep much? :)

[Kolgrim DeathHowl]

Turned out nicely done so far, looking forward to seeing it painted!

[Armond]

<3 me some Executioners!!!  

[Son of Sacrifice]

Really nice work on the sergeants / lieutenant. I may have to pick up some ETB intercessors now.

[Spaced Hulk]

Well it's been quite a while since I last updated this blog. However, I have made a bit of progress with my Executioners:

This Marine with the Mark 3 helm is part of a Veteran Intercessor/Sternguard squad. My head canon is that they're members of the original Chapter who survived it's penitent crusade and then crossed the Rubicon to become Primaris marines.

I've also built a couple of new HQ models. A Deathspeaker Chaplain wielding twin crozius arcanums:

And a Primaris Captain:

I couldn't decide which head to use, so I ended up magnetising them both.

Thanks for looking! ☺

Solid clean paint work on these chaps, a nice range of poses and parts too, especially on the new HQ units.

Love all the attention to little details on your models; the ork trophies are a nice touch.

[cretacianborn]

Stunning work dude. Love those Executioners, they look fantastic. And nice to see Cortez get some love too!

[bloodhound23]

Wowza.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Your Executioners are well-painted. The WIP models look most promising; the many skulls adorning them, give them so much character.
