Sanguinary Priest No.2 - Start to finish AND Arbitrary Milestone!

My thumbs feel weird,

So after re-vamping my blog wars list which you can find here, I needed to procure another sanguinary priest. I decided to plump for the latest kit from GW for the sanguinary priest and then just convert a jump pack on to him so that he can keep up with the Death Company squad that he will be accompanying.

Here is the sprue as it came:

To give it a bit of an individual look, I decided to use a spare pait of Age of Sigmar Prosecutor wings as his jump pack and also use a spare sanguinary guard helmet for his head. I, like many others, don't generally like the idea of bare headed models on the battlefield as it looks a bit funny!

Anyway, here's what he looks like all together:

The wings are, of course, magnetised and the helmet isn't currently glued on so that I can more easily access the collar of his power armour for painting purposes so he disassembles like so:

This also means that I can magnetise his normal back pack and just take him as a regular foot based sanguinary priest if I want to which is always nice!

And here he is after basecoating with a wash (wings done later):

And the finished body with undercoated wings:

And the final full finished product!

I'm not ashamed to say I think this is one of the best paint jobs I've ever produced and I am very pleased with it.


Arbitrary Milestone!

Today is my 100th post! When I started blogging I sort of expected to have fizzled out by the end of the year, but here am on 100 post, about 17K views and 220K google plus profile views and nearly 500 comments! I am as pleased as punch and a lot of that is down to the generally fantastic community of gamers the world over who share and share alike with humour, wisdom and wit in equal measure.

Thanks for reading my blog it is greatly appreciated :)

Peace out,

Sanguinary Priest No.1 - Completed

Live long and prosper,

So this guy is the first of the sanguinary priests required for my upcoming tournament list which I will go over tomorrow explaining the changes. I sat down and got this guy done in one large 4 hour session and I am quite happy with how he turned out. A little brighter than I am used to but overall I think I did ok. The armour was a worry for me but I am really pleased with how it came out in the end.

Here are some pictures just after basecoating:

And here he is fully complete after washes and layering:

And with the flash to show off the OSL a bit better:

 Thoughts and comments always welcome :)

Peace out,

Rob

Chaplain and Sanguinary Priest Conversions - WIP

Hi Readers,

A productive week for me blog and hobby wise, which is to be expected when I am off work I suppose! Its been a much needed holiday and has seen a good amount of work made on my hobby to do pile. 

But as always where progress has been made, more models must be bought and built and converted like some horrible compulsion! Today I have a few pictures of a converted Sanguinary priest with some forgeworld bits I grabbed off eBay and also a converted Chaplain using on of the new Age of Sigmar models.

I have a bunch of these Age of Sigmar models and I think they are fantastic. I am going to be spending some time converting the winged ones in Sanguinary guard at some point, but I have to psyche myself up for that! I have however purchased some more hobby item such as better clippers and a craft knife to aid this process.

Without further ado here is the Chaplain:

And the Sanguinary Priest:

I'm pleased with both of them and hope to get them undercoated fairly soon. The sanguinary priest is more important in general as it will be accompanying Dante and the converted Sanguinary guard to give FNP goodness to them.

In slightly annoying news I have actually finished painting my Death Company Storm Raven but I accidentally hit the "Delete All" button on my camera, thus abolishing all of the WIP pictures I had taken of it. Curses.

I will just take pictures of it fully complete with base now, but that only arrives this Wednesday so I will be keeping it in the bank till late this coming week in case I don't get much hobbying done.

Thanks for all the support as always,

Peace out

Rob
