How much work did it take to get that chest to fit? I need to kitbash some primaris company vets, but didn’t even consider using that bit, despite having one on sprue.

It's about a 15 minute job. The two main issues are, one the Firstborn torso will need about a 1 to 1.5mm spacer between the Intercessor's back piece and the Firstborn chest piece. You will also need to add putty to the gap area. The second thing that needs to be done is cutting away part of the belt buckle area so the leather tabard has room. It's a great parts pack and I want to buy six or so for future use before it disappears from the range. I thinking all the Firstborn models might disappear by the time 11th edition rolls out.

The Eliminators have been eliminated from the painting list. I also had time to finish a Not Callidus assassin from Ghamak,because again, GW doesn't want to sale me one. The Eleiminators came out well enough, but the one of the camo cloaks that's in the middle of transitioning is disappointing.
I have ten Hellblasters ready to go next as well as a couple of miscellaneous minis. I'm getting close to having a use-able battle force. Well, until next time.

More support characters done. The ones on the left and right of the center chaplain were converted from regular Intercessors. I pick up two boxes of Intercessors just to make extra support characters and save a bit of money. The chaplain on the right has a lot of chaos bits, in fact, the head is a fantasy Khorne berserker with the wing things cut off. Chaplains are oddly chaosy. They look as if the kids from high school that were into death metal grew up and became priests. Anyways, back to the paint mines.

Yes, I wasn't expecting him either.

Where's the robe and wig dude from? he'd be great for the Arbites.

It's called the "Confessor" From Ghamak on sale for $3.99!

I wasn't sure what size base to use for him, as most support and named characters use 40mm, but many of the inquisition range still use smaller sizes, even named characters use 32mm ones. I ended up making a custom 40mm base.

That’s the thing about the inquisition! Love the base, the marble and candles are fantastic!

Tommygun1918,

That Not Callidus assassin from Ghamak turned out really well.

Cheers,

Looking great! I like what you did with the basing on the robed guy.

Thank you, just some plasticard and a very basic Trompe-l'œil marble painting technique.

It's a great little model I pick up for four bucks on sale.

Thanks, it was a fun little project. He's going to go with my inquisitorial henchmen.

Three short projects done. The first is my version of Uriel Ventris. I think he is serviceable. I tried doing more highlighting on his face, but I don't think I thin my paint enough. The result aren't great, but if you don't try new things you don't get better. The next one is a custom apothecary. I like having extra support characters without paying $40 each. I can get 10 support characters for the cost of one Intercessor box. The last one was the Buzz Lightyear vehicle. I pick them up on sale for six dollars each and bought three of them. I just added a little detail paint and a wash over the truck. The next two will be painted white and one of those I'll make into a flatbed truck. I might convert the back of the unused body into a pull trailer. I measured one of the figures that came with the truck and he was 31mm from the bottom of his foot to his eye. At this point 40k is basically 32mm, so the truck is a good scale for it.

Edit: EEEK, I forgot the green trim on his shoulder pads! I'll fix it later.....

Nice work on the medic and I do love those Lightyear trucks.

Thanks, I picked up a Zurg motherships too, I'll see what I can do with it. I'm thinking black and white colors with a bunch of under shading.

Here is my test model for my Hell Blasters. For some reason I made him into an Omega Marine.
Damned servitors...

I like seeing Uriel Ventris, I'm a fan of him and mostof Graham McNeill's writing.

I'm glad you like him, it was fun quick project.

Next up, a Buzz lightyear Zurg ship.
I kept the paint job simple with a lot of dry brushing. At the moment they are on Amazon for about $6.
There are a few more ships and trucks on the painting list, but I'm not sure when they will be done.
Currently I'm working on some terrain. Well post more maybe after the holidays, Marry _______ insert religion of your choice.
Bye for now.

More nice work Tommygun1918.

Cheers,

Thanks for looking.

Well, I took a short detour in my painting and it took me about four weeks to get it done. I pick up a set of Rampart terrain for about $60 and I was surprised by how much scenery you get for that. I did add some floors and a few walls to make it more versatile and that lead to the next project below. I'm not sure when I'll paint it as I have a number of marines and Inquisitorial henchmen to paint.

So, I decided to spent three weeks scratch building this building to go with the Rampart terrain above for some crazy reason when I could have just bought another set which I did anyways.
Sometimes you just get the scratch to build.

Is that just foam core?? Looks amazing.

Ooo those buildings are very cool, how did you do the cracks in the walls?

That ship has a LOT of potential for detail working and conversion

Terrain is looking good and I like the space ship model. The confessor model looks intimidating.

It's made from polystyrene, some people call it plasticard.

Guardling wrote:Ooo those buildings are very cool, how did you do the cracks in the walls?

The walls are made from three separate layers of 1mm thick polystyrene. The outsider layers are cut into puzzle like pieces and carved to look damaged.
I then glued those separate puzzle pieces onto the third middle layer. This causes the illusion of a cracked wall. Next time I do it, I'll make a tutorial of it, but it might be a while.

Yes, it's a great little ship and you can find it on Amazon ranging from 6 to 16 dollars.

Flapjack wrote:Terrain is looking good and I like the space ship model. The confessor model looks intimidating.

Thank you and everyone for stopping by.

I have another box of that Rampart terrain again. I'm thinking of making this set into two separate multi-level buildings and maybe magnetizing it so I can reconfigure it into one story ruins. We'll see. So, new year, new projects, have fun everyone.

Great job on the buildings.

Great job on this ship! I've got one too, destined for Chaos purposes. Love how you've broken down the top handle, I wasn't going to go as low as you've gone but I really like how it looks.

Lovely stuff, mate!

I was trying to keep the ship a bit generic and blocky for different games. I could see how all those fins would go with a chaos ship.

Took a little break to work around the house and I'm now back to the Rampart terrain.

Some really nice work. You're bringing a corner of the setting to life in tabletop.

Fantastic work on the terrain, the rampart stuff is cool, but the building that splits in 2 is genius!
