[Loquille]

The end of an Era, 11 years since release. Defending my paint station in his basecoated form. But I finally got around to painting him. See it can happen!

Fairly happy with him as he's the first bit of Heresy I've felt like painting since April.

He's still one of my favourite Heresy models and you've done him justice. Nice work.

He is a stunning model and you aught to be proud of how well you painted him. I have a Polux model I feel the same way about that I need to eventually paint (I don't even play Fists but he is my dude).

A small request for people using Quote functionality when making reply: I would appreciate if the quoted content would not repeat pictures unless there was a strong reason for it. This thread is already rather image-heavy by design, and unncecessarily repeating the same image tends to make it difficult to read (and rather diminishes than adds to the original posters contribution).

 

There are times when quoting a picture is necessary to easily understand a response, for example when a picture was posted a while ago and you have a question that pertains to some specific element of that image. However, if the image was posted recently and the response is essentially to congratulate the poster for a great paint job, it is usually quite straightforward to indicate to which picture you are referring to (e.g. "That photo of Sevatar that Loquille posted two days ago is so impressive that it haunts me at night").

 

That said, thanks to all the posters who have been sharing their work!

a couple of testers for Thousand Sons. 

 

Looking good, can you share some close ups of the models please?

@Xenith I'll try to take some better pictures, but it may be a few days. Think I took a quick snap of two testers. They're really rough though the colour difference shows much better. 

 

IRL, I'd say the forged red reads as a dark candied orange and the ruby red literally as a jewel in colour.

Blackshields?

[derLumpi]

Finished 3 chosen for the command squad on bike.

 

Axes count as spears but those arms are magnetized though. I was way to lazy to cut up 3 two handed spears and glue them back together. 

 

One head is missing (want to use the half bionic head from an old first born kit and wasn't yet able to remove it from another torso) and the apothecary needs another shoulder guard. But I'm really happy. 

 

 

Only 6 bikes and 2 Proteus LS to go until I can field a 'non boots in the ground' list. 

 

Built a Myrmidon heavy Mechanicum list on the side also as our little heresy group is playing now more often.

Word Bearers

Ooohh, I like it. I am toying with doing grey Word Bearers to seperate them a little from my other red legions. The splash of red on yours is a great compromise.

[SvenIronhand]

Working on more Bearers of the Word. These cats are likely going to end up filling the ranks of a Veteran Tactical Squad, with at least a Warp Blaster in it.

For the skin, I mixed AP Company Grey and Opal Skin 2:1 to get an appropriately Chaos-y skintone. My recipe for the red is TTC Berserker Red as the basecoat, followed by highlights of Sanguine Scarlet and then AP Resplendent Red in places. Any black areas are basecoated with Vallejo GC Black. That’s the basic process, though I might iterate on it.
