The Just - Dr. Ruminahui's new Emperor's Children

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Thanks for the video, @Sume - it was very interesting.  I think I'll just be using it to base coat at first, but depending on how that goes, I may try more advanced techniques.

 

A bunch of EC projects just kind of coming together at the same time.  First, just got in the mail a bunch of 3D printed bits I had traded for, among which was the head I needed to complete my 3-pistol Exaultant.  He's built mostly out of an Age of Sigmar guy (the Lord Terminos from the Skaventide box - he had a big axe, which is now in my bitz box).

 

From the front:

 

More from the side:

 

He'll also my Cypher stand-in for my regular CSM army, which is why I gave him a sword and hooded head.

 

Not sure about the frill behind his head and whether I should chop it down - I think it looks fine, but am worried that for people who are familiar with AoS that it comes across as too Sigmarite.  What do you guys think?

 

Next, I finished the last details on my seekers - these I had practically finished 4 or so years ago, but didn't like their hair colour so got stuck.  Dusted them off recently to finish, as it was something quick to do before Call to Arms (and something too far along to paint in CtA) and with a new hair colour finished them all up in about a week.

 

 

Their hair colour is a bit closer to that of my first squad than I would like (I use hair colour for unit designation for my demons), but they are distinguishable enough that it still works.  Here are the 2 units together:

 

Finally, what I'm working on now is dividing my 3x 20 squads of demonettes into 6x 10.  This means redoing the hair colour on half of them, and converting some of the existing figures to give each of the new squads an Aluress (though that doesn't make any game difference this edition, it may in future ones plus it adds a big of variety to the squads), a banner and a musician.

 

So far, I'll I've done is try out the new paint colour for my pink demonette squad - here it is (on the left), with the original hair colour on the right:

 

It works, so I'm now doing that for the rest of that new squad.

 

Did lose one of my pink demonettes at some point, so in addition to a converted banner and musician, I'll need to build myself an entirely new aluress.  I have the bits, though, so its not a big deal.

This past week has resulted in some more work on re-squadding my demonettes, both in the form of painting and converting.

 

First, I've painted all the new squads hair colour - I'll show that off once I've finished painting the conversions.  For now, I'll just show a picture of my new and old hair colours - the left of each pairing is the new colour.

 

 

The pink and blue, I arrived at a colour I liked on the first try.  Purple - not so much.  I think this is the fourth variation I tried, before I could come up with one I could likve with.  On the plus side, it was the easiest to paint - for the blue and pink, I had to repaint the hair in the base colour before giving its coloured wash, for the purple I could just paint the contrast paint I used right over the old paint scheme (except for a couple of the test models, where I  had to repaint those the original colur scheme before washing them.

 

Next photo is the conversions:

 

 

The middle model isn't a conversion per se, but is entirely new - its the replacement to the model I lost somewhere.  Other than her, where all the paint on her is new, I haven't painted any of the conversions yet, though I expect they'll be pretty quick to do.  Once they are, I'll show off a picture of all 60 of my demonettes together.
