It has been some times since my last post, I wasn't very inspired to write so I wrote nothing…
Even in this state, the blog received quite a few visits daily since we’re closing on 50’000 visits!
So, thank you for your interested!
Just to be clear, I haven’t stop painting, but I’ve been building a lot of stuff, meaning I had nothing to show really.
My head is a bit all over the place between the conversion I have in mind, what I’m painting and what I’m planning, but I’m hoping to write some article on a few conversions I have in mind.
Since it will be the first of this kind, I’ll gauge the interest with the visit the article receives 😊
It’s time to show you my latest entry for my Knights of the Chalice army, first here is my second HQ and I should finally be able to deny the witch to my friend master of possession (I’m not annoyed, not at all…)
Here is brother epistolary Ymael, attached to the second company of the Knights
I had to come up with an (almost) completely new scheme for this guy, librarians are usually blue, but I choose to paint the cloak red to be reminiscent of the rest of the army, I’ll do the same for my future chaplain and apothecary. Really happy with the result.
I had some fun doing some freehand around the cloak before hiding it behind the weathering… yeay!
I didn’t know what to paint on the knee pad, I settled on the rank and quickly painted a little half skull on it. Job done!
Since the spear is a force weapon, I wanted to have a different kind of glow than the usual power weapon, went for a reddish/pinkish tone with the power coming from the shaft, hence the white glow at the bottom.
The glowing eyes and hand were also something new, I let you judge if it’s successful or not.
Latest addition was the little special effect on the base, after reading Mephiston book and the description of the different spells, I tried to replicate the use of the blood of the enemies to power my librarian.
The blood going up is a mix of brass wire and fishing line with a drop of glue at the top, covered with blood for the blood god from gw, a hole was pierced on the base to hold the wire better.
For those curious, the weapon is from conversionworld.de, they have a very nice selection of weapons for the different legion the cast are very crisp and the guy running the shop is very friendly!
Next up is the inceptors squad Erasmos!
I really like this kit though one of the members has a really strange position.
No conversion on this squad, I just made some higher base to get rid of those horrible transparent holders.
Painting wise, it’s probably not my best squad, I had some troubles doing the right zenithally light regarding the position of the miniatures but at least they done.
The sooth was made by dry-brushing black paint around the exhaust.
Oh yes, you can’t see them, but I still painted the exhaust with a plasma effect, the little details…
And that’s all for today!
Next up on the painting queue is the redemptor dreadnought as requested by my follower on Instagram, then we’ll see! Some tutorials are also in the pipeline.
The resurgence of Sylvaneth is gaining my interested more and more, you may see some news on this front, who knows!
Thanks for reading and as usual you can follow my progress on twitter and Instagram link on the side of this page!
Until next time…
