Interrogator_Chaplain's Finished Dark Angels, Mechanicus & Others

Nice job. The display cabinet is a nice touch for showing off your models. Keep up the good work.

Very nice models. I can never get my robes to come out looking that clean.

[interrogator_chaplain]

I start off with Rakarth Flesh, covering it until you don't have any real thin spots where the primer is still showing through. Then I go on heavy with Agrax Earthshade really building up in the recesses until its almost opaque. Then I cover everything but the recesses in Ushabti Bone and that takes care of most of it, and then I finish by dry brushing only the most raised areas with Screaming Skull. I use this also as my technique for doing bone coloured models.


Hope that helps!

Aww yeah! The army that has been, for years, named Interrogator-Chaplain Ezrit's Dark Hunters has long been without its namesake. As of today, not even one hour ago, this is no longer the case. I give you, the new Interrogator-Chaplain Ezrit.


I'm super happy with how he's come out. I like to keep the theme of Deathwing present with models that require a different colour scheme like Librarians, Apothecary's and Chaplains, as such I always keep these such model's left arms in the bone white of the Deathwing. I think it helps them stand out from everyone else's Chaplains.

And here's a fun treat, my latest model the Interrogator-Chaplain Ezrit and the first model I ever painted for my Dark Angels army, Interrogator-Chaplain Ezrit. Circa 2004. (HOLY CRAP, I just realized how long I've been playing Dark Angels! WOAH.)


I think I've come a fair way in terms of my painting.

Thanks for stopping by and having a look!

wow I'll say you painting has most certainly gone a long way, about a million miles further, your new Chaplin looks amazing, I like the idea of keeping part of the companies colour scheme somewhere on the model, it does make him stand out much better....

So my birthday present was an Imperial Sector for my RoB board and I'm finally getting around to getting some of the ruined buildings painted. So I know you want pics more than text so let's have a look see shall we?


First picture was taken a little before the second one, which is why the light fixtures have gold and ink on them. I'm thinking they're fairly close to done, all I want to do with these now is paint the lights and do some marbling on the tiles. I also have to do a test with Mourn Mountain Snow to see if I can glob it up in the corners to see if they're capable of making snow drifts.

What's left is to do to make up the MDF bases to fit in with the RoB board. So I'll set you up with pictures after I get that done, but I'm going to outline my process in case anyone can see a flaw with it:
- Add sand to base.
- Base paint.
- White primer spray to fit in with my board.
- Add the building to the base.
- Add large debris.
- Add snow flock.
- Bob's your uncle.

Well, since last, I haven't gotten my MDF boards done up, but I did get this finished today!


The Basilica Administratum is done. Going with my other two Sanctum Imperialis pieces as seen here:


Overall the whole of these 3 buildings cost me 3 pots of Nuln Oil. At some point I really should've watered them down to extend their lives, but I've never been the sharpest power sword in the armory.

But my favourite thing, the thing that adds character to these buildings is adding a little bit of graffiti here and there. Little insider tidbits that help lend an air of mystery and narrative, such as:


Well, well. The governor's gone mad again eh? I really wanted to write something about him being in league with mutants, but didn't have enough room. The graffiti on the top floor says: "Emperor be praised! The Angels are here!" in case it's too blurry. I went ambiguously on purpose, thus the graffiti could be implying the Dark Angels or the Angels of Death who could be other Astartes chapters. Or perhaps imposters...

The other buildings have some other bits of graffiti including: "Spire Audax still stands! 147km -->" (Metric will survive 'til the 41st Millenium, deal with it.) and a little freehand Aquila.

But my favourite is this one:


The plot thickens...

Thanks for taking a look!

[Darren Richardson]

your scenery looks great, love the added graffiti, adds to the character of the ruins...

[interrogator_chaplain]

Wow, so I ended up hitting a little dry spell there for a little while, but nothing like a tournament to kick you back into clearing off your backlog! This tournament required me to get 6 brand new Terminators painted up for my army and it was the perfect occasion to finish off my Cataphractii Terminators and paint up a new assault cannon Termy. But let's get to pics first before more talking!




Group shot! Deathwing Squads Messengers of the Rock and Knights of the Old Days.


And because they're possibly the coolest models that Forge World makes, a group shot of my finished Cataphractii Terminators!


I've found my army colour scheme at last and it's the dark green of the Dark Angels, Red (Of varying shades, because sometimes deep red and bright red work really well.) and dark Purple with bright purple highlights. And obviously bone for Deathwing.

So happy to finally have these done, and I wasn't sure that they were going to get done with work in the way. But they're ready to go for the tournament I'm attending! I'm allied with Tau, so they're going to make some intractable objective holders.

I've got 3 boxes of Deathwing Terminators, and with them I'm going to make 10 Deathwing Knights! Hopefully it really won't take as long this time!

Thanks for taking a look!

[Darren Richardson]

wow they look great, those Cati's fit in with the standard Termies very well indeedy...
