He’s the classic metal version. I think I got him from eBay decades ago and only was ready to paint him up now that he’s been pushed out.

I’ve also got a metal Corbulo that I think was from the same second hand lot. I’ll probably get to him when the new Sanguinary Priest drops.

Edit: spelling

Lol, more that seeing the new guy reminded me thati had Chaplain-with-Ball-Gag at home. It’s a timeless look, apparently!

Good suggestion. If I do a “real” one I think a transfer or two could help that.

A bit slapchop.

I primed it Army Painter black, grey and grey/blue dry brush to make the edges stand out, heavier dry brush plus white dry brush on places to be red or gold.

Reds: Flesh Tearer contrast then another dry brush of Evil Suns Scarlet

Gold: Garaghaks Sewer, Army Painter Greedy Gold

Bone: Reaper Ion Soot (grey), Sepia Wash

Rounded out with: Sir Coates Silver, Guilliman Flesh, Magos Purple, Prismatic Bolt Speed Paint, Army Painter Strong Tone

They were mainly a color test, but I’m pretty tickled with the results.

It’s the Relic Envoy from GW’s Cities of Sigmar, but where he is meant to be holding a sheathed sword I swapped in an AdMech rifle.

The setting is grimdark WWI with demons and plenty of crusades influence so adding guns and gas masks to AoS minis seems to work well.

If anything, the blindfold is just an aesthetic because I wasn’t sure how to do empty eye sockets:

“These devotees of the Church blind themselves ritually as a devotion to God and use only their faith to strike the enemies of the Church. During the Siege of St. Lux stories were told of a sniper priest killing a target 3 miles away”

Not yet, but she’s such a fun character that I jumped at the chance to paint her.

Turns out that finger is where the ursus claw fires from all along.

Thanks!

Time to abandon the finger and just kitbash a Power Fist Bump.

Every month the official Warhammer stores will have a different mini that you can get for free. It’s not something to make an army out of, but it is a great low stakes chance to paint something different or do an interesting kitbash.

Yeah, the way they loom over even other marines is great. Hopefully they do more chapter specific variants as they others get their codexes.

There are a lot of PixelFed instances, this might get complicated.

I’d ask for https://miniature.photography but I’m one of only a dozen or so people who post there.

Contrast base coats and acrylic highlights.

Key players were: Iyanden Yellow, Black Templar, Army Painter Camo Cloak, Army Painter Hardened Leather, Army Painter Goddess Glow

So much character!

Nice work!

Have you done some troops too, or just the characters so far?

Do you have accounts logged in on more than one instance? One of my accounts is with an instance that just updated to the Lemmy 0.19 beta yesterday which doesn’t with with all clients. Once I removed that account from LiftOff everything went back to normal.

Cleverly done!

Thanks! Post some pictures as you go, too. Here is one of my first guys when I returned to painting three years ago. Lots, and lots, of practice from there to here.
