Violent Gods: 3rd return to the hobby's the charm? (Updated 11/22/2025)

[bloodhound23]

Bouncing around between a couple of things right now to stay motivated: 

 

Left arm graft turned out pretty good actually. It will still need a bit of sculpting, but I think I captured where the elbow/hand should be and they look fairly proportional. 

 

I hacked the bit from the Blooded power sword arm just above the elbow and then clipped away the little pushfit part for the original model's power fist, and then carefully scraped both sides with constant re-checking before it looked natural + the right length. Both hands are from the regular part of the Blooded kit, so they'll scale well together. Can't decided if I'll extend the trenchcoat sleeve down to the hand or leave it asymmetrical. I'll need to get the GS out to fill in the coat still anyway.

 

Scraping away the power cables that go from the back to what would've been a powerfist went okay, I probably should have swapped out for a newer blade on my hobby knife, but I'm thinking it's a good place for some accessories anyway. So that's what's left.

 

Off screen, I have primed my scratch built Water Rationing station, so that's what's up next, in addition to finishing these two marines, the Plasma Generatorium, and building out some more INQ28 singles. 

 

 

Here's the inspiration:

I lied!

 

Here's a count-as-Pistolier. Will likely go with my most recent Inquisitor kitbashes. 

 

I'll need to rebuild the backpack where I made room for the pistol to sit, but this one is mostly done as well. 

 

Lest I build too many big brains, I might need a way to distinguish this one's head more from its source.

Got a lot done, basically spent all day doing this, but it's now about 90% done. 

 

Of course things got a little crooked when I glued everything down finally, not my best moves there, but I'll live with it. I am tempted to slice off the far left join on the middle walkway to get it more straight, or I could let it be a "happy little accident." 

 

Just detail colors, weathering and what not left.

 

Might go with Sons of Horus Green to tie it in to the plasma generator, which is basically only one step further along than this piece now. 

 

Looking for advice, the plan is to go from here to "reverse weathering" (great name) by blocking in a color in between the banding, as well as traditional washing, sponging and streaking after. I might try some hazard stripes and some stenciled numbers or something on the side, too.
