Detailing the Stormtroopers

One part of any model which takes it from a painted model to a gaming masterpiece is the details.

Having taken my Inquisitorial Stormtroopers through the wash and then a drybrush, the next stage was the details. For example painting the muzzle of the hellguns in black. I painted the helmet visors in light blue and highlighted in white.

Details on this model includes the head of the sergeant (he’s the only model not wearing a helmet).

Then there are the Heavy Weapon troopers.

Lots of nice detail on the rear of these models. I used Bleached Bone for the eagle symbols.

Overall making the unit looking better and better.

Drybrushing

After giving the Inquisitorial Stormtroopers a wash consisting of Chestnut Ink, Scorched Brown paint (which helps remove the gloss of the ink) and some water to thin the wash down. I then drybrushed the uniforms with Desert Yellow.

The sergeant and the heavy weapons.

Next stage will be the details.

Washing their uniforms

After giving the Inquisitorial Stormtroopers a base coat of Desert Yellow the next stage is a wash. I gave the Stormtroopers a wash consisting of Chestnut Ink, Scorched Brown paint (which helps remove the gloss of the ink) and some water to thin the wash down.

These are the core troopers.

These are the Heavy Weapons troopers and the Sergeant.

Next stage will be a drybrush.

Black Templar Cenobyte with Relic

I have always liked this model, but wasn’t sure a) where it came from, b) what it was called, so I could never find it in the stores or on the online store.

It was only recently when reading through an old White Dwarf that I saw it was part of the Black Templars Chaplain Grimaldus and Retinue Boxed Set.

So now I knew which boxed set it came from, I could work out what it was called and find it in the online store. It is available either as part of a boxed set or individually. As I wasn’t too bothered about the other miniatures in the boxed set I purchased it individually through Mail Order.

I will be using it as part of my Inquisitorial retinue.

Inquisitorial Acolyte

As part of my Daemonhunters’ army I have a retuine for my Daemonhunter Inquisitor including an Acolyte, a trainee Inquisitor.

Having painted the parchment on the figure, I added the writing. I have also highlighted the purple cloak with Warlock Purple paint.

Personally I am not too happy with the text writing so I may start over and try again.

Finished my Grey Knights (eventually)

After quite a long time I have finally finished the first of my Grey Knights.

These were started a few years ago and I never really got around  to spending huge amounts of time on them, as other projects always seemed to take over.

I am quite pleased with them and I am using them as the basis for my other Grey Knights.

I am using desert basing to fit in with my desert terrain.

You can see how I painted these Grey Knights in the full workbench feature on them.
