To be an Inquisitor, you've got to be a dirty girl.

 

So I've been playing with my Inquisitors and their servants again.  I like the idea of them being dirty, gritty, obsessed folk when they're on the hunt.  And they're ALWAYS on the hunt.  See what you think.

 

First up, the Inquisitor herself.  I'll use her as Valeria or make up an entirely new one (this is most likely) on my own.  I really wanted to focus on the grime buildup of hunting down heretics in the dredges of a hiveworld.  I'm not entirely happy with her sword, but the model is old and rough metal.  Despite my efforts to smoothe it out, it fought me at every turn on that blade.  I hope I came up with something passable:

 

 

 

Creeping into the background you can see her record servitor, Rufus.  He is worthy and dutiful, like a good mindless servant of the Inquisition should be.  He takes exceptional notes, and though his role as administrative assistant takes him to the most forbidding places in the Empire of Man, he doesn't complain.  Good secretary.  Good, good secretary.  I wanted the same grime cakes and a little leakage from him as his maintenance is overdue from the stress and strain of the hunt:

 

 

A close-up of the dirty girl.  Its funny, I put A LOT into the details and shading on this model.  Then I threw the filth at it.  Can't see most of my work, the checkerboard detailing on the inside hem of her duster is almost non-identifiable in the pics.  You can see it a little better in person.  I'm still pretty excited about the results.

 

 

 

As always, feedback is appreciated.  I know I don't post often, as I get irritated trying to take decent pictures with my cell phone LOL.  Thanks for looking!

Sons of Apocalypse infantry

Here are some examples of my Sons of Apocalypse infantry units. Some will be more chaosy than others. These aren't there just yet but it gives a good idea of their scheme and feel. I'm still working on some design symbols and such. These are repurposed pieces that I got already built so I didn't do much modding. See what you think so far.

Nastiest of the Nasties

So I felt the urge to play with filth. And I came up with painting these two yahoos. Forgeworld's Necrosius and everyone's favorite plague Marine Lord, Typhus. I tried to work a lot of whites in these two as a kick back to their Deathguard days. What do you think?


Let's start with good ol' Necrosius.  I tried to pay special attention to the light and shadow play created by his bloat.  I hope it turned out as well as I think it did..

I wanted to maintain a drippy gore feeling with the Nec-meister, so I tossed a LOT of filth on him.

Next up is cuddly mister Typhus.  My goal was again to focus on lighting and going with less focus on green than I normally see these models painted with.  I think it played out quite well.

I did both Typhus's and Necrosius's weapons in this manner.  I think it gives them a distinctly Nurgle-warp charged feeling to them.  Even though Manreaper is a daemon weapon, I still think it fits looking like this as does Necrosius's force weapon.  Maybe I'll add one in later if anyone requests it.  As always, opines and feedbacks are WELCOME and APPRECIATED!

Sons of Apocalypse

 I've been compiling some Imperial guard to turn into traitors to support my lovely Khorne berzerker army. So here is a tidbit of some painting so you can sample how my Armor is going to look. Also the basic color scheme of my renegades. I'm going to keep with the axe barrel theme for the battle tanks. I think it makes them super duper chaosy! Comments and feedback are always appreciated!

A Uraka is born...and his herald chum.

Well I just placed the last spikes on the big boy.  Forge World's daemon prince of Khorne anf his herald sidekick. I have to say, its the toughest model I've built to date. Gluing all those spikes and teeth was the definition of tedium, but the rewards are great. I'll paint these two over the coming months with the goal of Uraka being my opus. We'll see how they turn out! A big, huge, monolithic thanks goes out to my friend Jamie, without whom this would not have been possible!

Bloodletting

I also wrapped up ten bloodletters and a Herald this week. I'll have done pics of the big boy layer, but for now here's the whole lot. See what you think.

Chaos lord on juggernaut

Well, my friend asked me to do this model for his fantasy army... And how could I resist?   I love this model. And I think it turned out very well. What do you think?
