Inquisitorial Stormtroopers

As well as my other Daemonhunters Inquisitorial Stormtroopers which are based on the Cadian Kasrkin I have also decided to add a unit based on the Tallarn or I may just use them as inducted Imperial Guard.

…and here they are out of the box in their raw metal state.

You can see how they will look by checking out the workbench feature on the Tallarn blister.

Inquisitorial Stormtrooper Repressor basecoat

I have added more of the Repressor basecoat.

I used the Citadel Foundation Paint, Tausept Ochre.

At this point the Dozer Blade is not attached and will be glued on once the model has been painted fully.

Inquisitorial Stormtroopers

With my Inquisitorial Stormtroopers I was giving them a desert feel I knew I was going to use sand, but also wanted some rocks as well, so I used some slate from the Warhammer 40K Urban Basing Kit. Having added the rocks I then using PVA (white glue) flocked the based with some Games Workshop sand. I do like the sand which has some small larger pieces of gravel, which adds a lot of nice texture. Once dry I then painted the bases Bestial Brown and drybrushed them with Bleached Bone.

Inquisitorial Stormtroopers – Tallarn

As well as my other Daemonhunters Inquisitorial Stormtroopers which are based on the Cadian Kasrkin I have also decided to add a unit based on the Tallarn or I may just use them as inducted Imperial Guard.

Having given the models a white undercoat, I then gave the models a basecoat of Desert Yellow. This was followed by 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. The models were then drybrushed with a lighter brown to extenuate the detail. The headscarves were picked out with Bleached Bone and highlighted with white paint.

Once dry I then painted the bases Bestial Brown.

I did water down the paint so it would flow into the sand and the gaps under the rocks.

Starting the Inquisitorial Stormtrooper Repressor basecoat

Having finished building my Inquisitorial Stormtrooper Repressor and added lots of symbology I gave the model a black undercoat.

The next stage was to start the basecoat. I used the Citadel Foundation Paint, Tausept Ochre.

At this point the Dozer Blade is not attached and will be glued on once the model has been painted fully.

Next stage will be a wash.

Sanding the bases of the Stormtroopers

I normally like to base my models before undercoating, in this way I am gluing the base materials (ie sand or slate) to the raw base and not a partly painted base. Also the undercoat helps to cement the base materials. However not everything always goes to plan, sometimes I have a spraying session before I have a basing session.

This was certainly the case with my Inquisitorial Stormtroopers who were well painted before I started to base them. As I was doing a desert feel to these I knew I was going to use sand, but also wanted some rocks as well, so I used some slate from the Warhammer 40K Urban Basing Kit. Having added the rocks I then using PVA (white glue) flocked the based with some Games Workshop sand.

I do like the sand which has some small larger pieces of gravel, which adds a lot of nice texture.

The bases will be painted (which helps cement in the sand) and then drybrushed.
