Crusade era III Legion Praetor

I've completed painting The Praetor of the Third Legion. At last! It was a long adventure that allowed me to try new recipes and colors, to work with textures again. At the end, I am satisfied with the result, and soon I will be working closely with both the new praetor (another legion) and the new miniature from the Third.

Lucy Fur

 Lucy Fur from Michael Kontraros Collectibles. Painted as a gift.

Dark Angels Interemptor test mini

 I've completed the DA interemptor test mini! This is my vision of that unit, I wanted to do it a more grim and brutal variant than in original FW kit. So I used Iron Hands tactical squad bits as base for my interemptor model. 

Paintedd schemes was already developed on the past test DA minis: blacks based on Green Grey (Scalecolr Artist) and reds based on Shadow Flesh 2 and Burgundy Red (both Pacific88 Art-Color). I did just one exception - I added some rust to the mini. 

The plasma glowing pinted by mix of Turquise Blue (SCA) and white.

Dark Angels veteran sergeant

 

Dark Angels test veteran sergeant now finished. I tried to do a black/red deathwing paint scheme without bone white parts, and hope what this experiment was successful.

Personally I am not a big fan of FW marines based on "dolls" from HH plastic sets but DA Interemptors aren't so bad as pack of bits 🙂

(great sculpt if seriously)

DA sergeant WIP

One more test DA miniature WIP. This time it is deathwing veteran sergeant based on DA Interemptors bits. I will compete this early next week.

DA Interemptor WIP

 I have something special for you. Do you think it is a Iron Hand mrine? No way!Thus is my vision of the Dark Angels Interemptor. I am not a big fan ofthe DA special units released by ForgeWorld so I deciced to do a some convrsions based on FW bits.

Iron Warriors second tactical squad

 Here is the final pics of my second IW tactical squad. So the infantry section is on 2/3 and the army is on a half done now.

And I would take a break and return to some DA test minis.

Iron Warriors Veteran Sergeant

I happy to intriduce to you a Iron Warriore veteran sergeant Covisus. The second squad is completed now, so I'll show them all very soon becase I need to do little repainting and take new photos.

Dark Angels Breacher Marine

 I got HH9 book from ForgeWorld and I am dissapointed by visual content quality. DA has 2,5 times less visual content than Ultramarines in 5th book. And this content don't clarify nothing about DA heladics what I hoping for. 

So I finished my test DA breacher heraldics basing 6th book. And need to develop my own vision of DA colors and etc.

Iron Warriors power ax

 Iron Warriors return to the NMMonday. The secornd squad's sergeant is almorst done, I just need to coplete his arm with the power axe. And traditionally I make IW ax blades according to the simplest NMM recipe: black + white.

One more Bronze armor paint study

 

One more bronze NMM study. This time looks far more reddish and copper but now only four pants used: Flesh Shade 2 (Pacific88 Art-Color), Bunt Siena and Orange (Scalecolor Atrist), Cadmium Skin (VGC)

DA backpack test

 I have two variants of DA backpack: flat black and black metal NMM. What do you think which variant is looks better?

Working on Miss Ery v3 is just started... from the base

DA breacher shield

 

I just painted the breched shield for my DA bracher test mini.I left the shield is black because I need to wait the book to choose color scheme and heraldics for my DA force.
