Update time! I didn't get to do much more on the Praetor this week, since I got a request to do a tutorial on how I sculpt my chains. So I spent most my hobby time working on that this week! If you're interested, [url=https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1144813872279804&set=a.114481379894 6478.1073741849.100002536052713&type=3&theater]here's the tutorial on how to make a book and chain[/url] for converting your model into a Librarian or somesuch!
Here's the guy I used for the tutorial:

I also started working on the other leader guy from the BaC box a bit, since I had some leftover millistuff - I've removed the head of the crozius and will attach a glaive type blade once I get around to carving it. I've also scarab'd up his cloak clasps so far:

I'll be modifying the helmet as well, of course. Not sure what else I'll do to him yet though, if anything. I'm still trying to decide if I want to leave him with the pistol, or remove it and give him an open 'casting psychic powers' hand or something. Thoughts?
-
Leave the pistol. They must have some troops that still used guns :D
-
@Psychosplodge: Yeah, that's what I was thinking. XD I dunno why but I've never really been a fan of the open-hand casting pose. And hey, nothing saying they can't shoot psychic powers THROUGH their weapon, right? ;)
-
Or manifest directly at the target :D
-
@Psychosplodge: Hah, that too! XD
Okay, next update! I think I've finally finished the praetor terminator!

I'll get some proper photos of him eventually, once I get around to setting up the lightbox.
Now that the praetor's done, one of the next models I'll be working on is painting the Slaughterpriest, just for something different. I'm building a base for him out of spare sprue and greenstuff/milliput; here's the guts of the base before I put the coating layer of millistuff over it to properly shape it and finish it off:

I've also started designing/building the weapon for the commander guy from the BaC set. Here's some weapon sketches I did while trying to figure out the particulars:

And the blade so far:

I'll also hopefully be using this guy to finally do a step by step on how I customise the helmets.
Let me know what you think! :D

@Captain Brown: Thank you! :D
Okay so now that I've finished painting the Praetor, I'm back to my 'augh what do I focus on now' indecision. XD So here's what I've been working on lately!
Customising this guy from the BaC set into a Thousand Sons Librarian:
[url=http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/831835-Pre-heresy%20Thousand%20Sons%2C%20Thousand%20Sons%2C%2 0Work%20In%20Progress.html]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery...20Progress.png[/url]
Here's his weapon:

I still haven't actually glued the blade on yet because I want to work on it a bit more. Does it need more detail?
[url=http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/831834-Pre-heresy%20Thousand%20Sons%2C%20Thousand%20Sons%2C%2 0Work%20In%20Progress.html]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery...20Progress.png[/url]
Also doing a bit more detailing on the terminator guy from the BaC box:
[url=http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/831832-Pre-heresy%20Thousand%20Sons%2C%20Thousand%20Sons%2C%2 0Work%20In%20Progress.html]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery...20Progress.png[/url]
Better look at the cowl detailing (though I've cleaned it up a bit more since this pic):

And finally, the custom base for the SLAUGHTERPRIEST with HACKBLADE is finished!

[url=http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/831838-Slaughterpriest%2C%20Work%20In%20Progress.html]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery...20Progress.png[/url]
I'll most likely be painting the SLAUGHTERPRIEST next because reasons. XD So that's what I've been up to this week - let me know what you think! :D
-
I think the blade looks plenty detailed, especially if you're going to paint it the same style as the blue one above it.
Nice detailing on the terminator as well.
-
I'm enjoying your post Skits. They're looking really good
-
@Psychosplodge: Thanks! :D I'll probably just add some rivets to the blade and call it a day there, I think.
@grimmas: Thank you! :D

Finished this guy a while back, but only just got around to photographing him. So here's the 2016 Imperial Space Marine, painted up in pre-Heresy Thousand Sons colours (to nobody's surprise ever :D).
