Heraclite Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 Well... Magnets took a long time to get to me, so no painting in april... And may is gonna be busy with all the work there is to do around the house + a metric ton of birthdays in the family... Yet I did break out the superglue to magnetize the bases of all my painted minis and almost all my WIP minis (only the poxwalkers got magnetized on the death guard side of conquest) I think it's also a good time to show you the custom boxes I made : and their contents : Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364347-heraclites-wip-log-bladeguard-veterans/page/2/#findComment-5698211 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heraclite Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 Well, it's been a little more than a month since my last completed mini. But I'm back with a bang, as I finished a full squad (minus the first marine that was done ages ago) of veteran assault intercessors : and some individual pics behind spoilers to keep it readable Dr_Ruminahui 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364347-heraclites-wip-log-bladeguard-veterans/page/2/#findComment-5726447 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heraclite Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 Thanks Brother! Now on to some actual WIP pictures. For my birthday, my father got me a job lot on ebay consisting of an indomitus captain and LT, a primaris librarian, 5 intercessors, 5 indomitus assault intercessors, and 3 aggressors. So In the lot was also included an age of sigmar painting set. As I want to convert those 3 minis to make at least an inquisitor and maybe somme followers, I had to start building the proper 40k kits to get a sense of what bits would be left to tech the AoS minis a little bit. So I set myself to first build the assault intercessors (as is, just with a swappable power fist for the sergeant) This kit is really lovely and the poses are so dynamic! Then I started working on the regular intercessors. They are meant as the second half of the assault bolt rifle intercessors I posted earlier in the thread For that purpose I magnetized the sergeant so that he could be used either as a sergeant or as a regular marine in a 10 man squad : He's got the choice between a power fist a chainsword or a fancy wrist watch : he's accompanied by a grenade launcher wielding marine a guy pointing toward a threat on the upper floor of the building on the right a fellow who's a bit too eager on stabbing his opponents and the last one, my favorite of the bunch, inspired by my daughter. she came to check on me at some point so I showed her the already built assault intercessors, she thought they were cool but told me it would be even better if they had two guns! So I had to make a guy with two guns. To keep him game legal (even though I can't say I play the game very much), I had to give him an assault bolt rifle, it was a bit fiddly, but I managed to slung one over his shoulder with some leftover strap that I had to cut make it fit. I really like how bulky he is : Don't hesitate to tell me what you think of those ! Cheers Dr_Ruminahui, Torbenos and Sagentus 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364347-heraclites-wip-log-bladeguard-veterans/page/2/#findComment-5727190 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heraclite Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 Here are the latest additions to my primaris marines, an ancient, and a chapter ancient First the 2nd company ancient I didn't use metallics on his banner, to make it look like plain cloth, but I did on the chapter banner, that should use more noble materials Grotsmasha 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364347-heraclites-wip-log-bladeguard-veterans/page/2/#findComment-5740659 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heraclite Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 My birthday gift included a primaris librarian. Since I already had one, and didn't want to resell this one, I decided to twist him a little to make it my Chief Librarian. I tried experimenting with greenstuff, it's far from perfect, but I like it anyway The equipment is not standard, but since I don't really play, it's not a big deal. And then again, if I get to play, it will be with my kids so we can just house rule everything.

Heraclite Posted October 20, 2021 Author Share Posted October 20, 2021 I've finished a squad of assault intercessors. I had intended to give the sergeant a swappable power fist but it didn't really hold well enough to look good, so the powerfist is painted and will go to another sergeant at some point.

Heraclite Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) first of all, happy new year to you all ! You can check my last completions for Grostmasha"s twelve months of hobby challenge here : http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/368355-12-months-of-hobby-challenge-2021/?p=5778875 On the building front, I got a box of eliminators. I built them with lasfusils : I had 3 etb reivers that i pimped up with all the leftover guns from the kit. I chose to use all the "non firing" ones, because it was easier to make them look right : I also built a reiver lieutenant with another tweaked etb reiver : Edited January 2, 2022 by Heraclite Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364347-heraclites-wip-log-bladeguard-veterans/page/2/#findComment-5778877 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heraclite Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) Thanks a lot guys. @Naryn : Unfortunately no update on the librarian. He is primed thoughn but I still have 10 intercessors to paint before I start painting what's left of my primed models. As this librarian will be my chief librarian, I want to give him my best shot and try some fancy techniques, so I don't want to rush him. I'm also still debating what head to give him, either the standard helmeted primaris librarian head, or the one I had originally planned for him, made from a stormcast head, with a little "ear" from a primaris bare head : I also knocked two inquisitors with some ETB stormcasts from a paint set : first a radical ordo xenos Inquisitor : And a modominant ordo hereticus inquisitor that is obviously after her : Edited January 3, 2022 by Heraclite Valkia the Bloody 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364347-heraclites-wip-log-bladeguard-veterans/page/2/#findComment-5779187 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusted Boltgun Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I'm new here and late to the party. Having reviewed your thread I have to say that I really like your coherent paint scheme and great freehand work. I especially like the drive units on the Inceptor packs but there are so many other fine details on your models.

Heraclite Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 Thanks, I'm glad you like it, I'm actually learning everything as I go, because I never highlighted anything when I was younger, nor tried "energy effects" like on plasma coils or the inceptor exhausts. There's a lot of trial and error but it's getting better with each new batch of models I never managed to apply decals when I was young, so didn't bother trying this time around. It forces me to freehand the chapter badge and squad markings. Some turn out better than others but the overall look is still uniform enough for my liking Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364347-heraclites-wip-log-bladeguard-veterans/page/2/#findComment-5783117 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heraclite Posted November 27, 2023 Author Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) Well... It's been more than a year and a half since I posted here.... I undertook a bathroom remodel beginning in april 2022 that lasted till november 2022 so I completely stopped working on my marines. And I never managed to gather enough motivation to get it started again... That is, until now ! I did find some time to paint a repulsor this spring, as it was collecting dust on my desk, nagging me every day. So here it is : It is also fully magnetized, allowing me to swap loadouts : As of now, I'm working on the eliminators from further up in the thread : Edited November 27, 2023 by Heraclite Firedrake Cordova, Rhavien, Dr_Ruminahui and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364347-heraclites-wip-log-bladeguard-veterans/page/2/#findComment-6005818 Share on other sites More sharing options...
