Sons of Wrath - Lieutenant on Wings of Fire!

Hello Darkness my old friend,

To break up the advance of the Ravenwing, I thought I would jump back to my Primaris marines, the Sons of Wrath. This chap has been painted for a bit, though it was an overnight job to get ready for a battle report with Winters, so once he was done and played with I mostly just needed a nap!

I'm quite pleased with how he turned out, conversion and paint job. I used the Sanguinary guard wings as I had them spare and I just really like how they look, same goes for the odd jump pack exhaust contraption at the back. Lets not look too closely at logic and how it might work eh?

Just 3 models left to paint up to tabletop standard before I can field a full 2000 points of Primaris marines. I still have several bases to finish off, as you can see from above, but once that detail is polished I just need to go back and add battle damage as well as squad, rank and role signifiers to all the miniatures. Which will wait till I have got through some more Deathguard as well as some of my other more esoteric projects that have lain untouched for some time!

Peace out,

Rob

Double Trouble - Redemptor Dreadnoughts - Axion and Uther

Fine morrow to thee,

So these big bad boys were really fun to paint overall, if something of a tough task. I have a really strong dislike of painting flat open panels, I've just always struggled with them. These guys were intended to be very much centre pieces to my army, but as per usual I gave up half way with that rigorous standard and just blitzed on to get them to a playable standard. They won't be winning any prizes, but I'm happy enough with them as is for now.

Standard fare of needing to add marking and damage etc etc, plus greenery on the base. But good enough to plonk in a battle for now.

As usual, there is fluff behind these buggers, but I need a loooong session to sit down and just write out everything properly for the Sons of Wrath, so don't be expecting it any time soon!

Peace out,

Rob

Sons of Wrath - Sergeants Scheme - Mmmm Orange

Good afternoon everyone,

So after showing you the very early stages of my Primaris Sergeants that looked pretty rough and grubby, they are all now nice and shiny and more or less complete. I had a major headache reproducing this colour across larger parts of a model, more so with the Captain/Chapter Master than these, but I'm relatively happy with how they have turned out. 

For a recap, here is the before pictures:

And here are the after photos, plus the Inceptor Sergeants:

This chap was my first test scheme model, hence why he has battle damage on him already.

As said in a previous post with the Chapter Master, the guns and glow will eventually be re-painted on these. 

I'm pleased with this ones face... though blowing it up does it no favours!!

Slowly, slowly we get there then... Redemptors to come as well as the lieutenant, an ancient and a final third squad of three plasma inceptors. Phew! Then I can take a break, get some games in with them, before probably working on some other stuff. Then I'll return to these bastions of light and finish them properly. 

Peace out,

Rob

Sons of Wrath - Chapter Master Ansgar Hutto

Hey diddly ho,

As I've previously mentioned, this chap is not actually a Primaris Marine in terms of the army, purely because you can't give a Primaris Captain or Chapter Master a jump pack. Why this given that Inceptors have jump packs so it's clearly within the remit of what is capable with gravis armour is beyond me...

Obviously this model is converted from the standard Captain model in Gravis armour that comes with the Dark Imperium. I've just added an Inceptor jump pack and kit bashed a combi plasma for the elft arm instead of a boltstorm gauntlet (cause they are naff) and I also changed the blade around on the sword as I wanted it to look more like the Relic blade that he is equipped with. This is a sword from a Dark Angels sprue I had lying around, with the wings on the tip filed off. 

I wanted him to stand out (as any respectable leader should) and so he is full on blazing orange with no grey. Good lad.

Obviously the base still needs doing. But also plenty of other bits need touching up or improving. I'm just aiming to get this whole army to a ready for the table level, before I go back and re-do various aspects of them, as well as add detailing for squads and rank etc. I mean, all of the jump packs across the army need the glow doing too... le sigh.

After comments, I will probably go back and re-do the plasma glow for all the infantry as well. Sadly having completed it all before the post and thus comments went live. When the Redemptor Dreadnoughts are posted you can see the revised style.

Peace out,

Rob

Works In Progress - A Buffet

Now we know,

I really need to sit down and A) reply to comments and B) take some more pictures of miniatures! I have progress on the Sergeants from the previous post and I've got other bits and bobs painted or going on, but no pictures of them. So I thought I'd just show you some of my built pictures of Primaris marine stuff that is either awaiting some paint or has some on but no pictures...

I haven't decided on the chest guns for the Redemptor, between the fragstorm launchers and the bolt option. The random shots of the fragstorm put me off a little compared to the reliability of the storm bolters. Any thoughts on which to go for? I think I am points malleable for both.

This chap has sanguinary guard wings purely because they look cool. No other justification than that! He's also just a regular lieutenant as you can't give the Primaris one a jump pack, but I wanted all my mini's to be Primaris sized. I've written a little fluff around that which I will get in to when he is painted and has his own post.

I wanted the ancient to be a little more "FORWARD!!" than the static pose given in the Dark Imperium box. So I just kitbashed this very simple conversion for a little more dynamism.

And then here we have the Chapter Master (or Captain) his-self. Ignore the hair... Again this chap is just a regular marine rather than Primaris but I have built him in the Gravis armour and added the jump pack to represent the Armour Indomitus relic. I feel that works well enough with the weight of it. 

This chap is actually almost finished so I should have some pictures of him up sooner rather than later...

That's all folks!

Peace out,

Rob
