The latest addition to my Crusader force is Reclusiarch Mateo, a Terminator Chaplain. You'll get to know him intimately as he roto-roots the xenos out of your a$$. The guy is a couple centuries old and is pretty much one of the top three badasses in the army. He's missing a few details but battle ready, none the less.
"Hatred is the Emperor's greatest gift to humanity... NONE CAN WITHSTAND OUR FAITH!"
Pictures didn't turn out so well but I'm so tired of painting tonight that they'll have to do. Otherwise, the model is missing a couple of Templar icons and tidbits. The plan is to get through a couple of squads and then have a day of painting purity seals, crusader seals, and the small crux shields you saw on the Neophytes. Overall, I'm pleased with how he turned out but he's not breathtaking in my opinion. I see areas where I could have done better all over the place but I think he'll work for table top quality.
With this image, the far right side was REALLY blury so I just cropped it out. Will have to spend a few hours with the camera to figure out the best setting for future shots of large groups. Oh yeah, you can probably see how lazy I've been with snow effects. Going to hit that up this weekend for the Chaplain and the Initiates that need it.

Good job dude. I can't say it enough, your guys look awesome as hell.
ReplyDeleteJust found out now I'm heading to Mobile, Alabama for the software training I was supposed to get in July from December 6th thru 17th. Erg, I want progress on Dark Eldar dammit!!!!
Thanks man. I'm mildly happy with the way he turned out. Will spend another few hours on him when I shift to redetailing the army. I really thought he was going to look better.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, that sucks about your December being taken up. At least you have the latter parts of both November and December. We need to figure out when the next Apoc game is going to be. I would love to see us block off a 2 day stretch; 1 for the hobby and 1 to play... that's probably a pipe dream though.
During your work trips you should be banging Slannesh Daemonettes.
His face seems a little pale and skull like. What is up with that? He looks good. And what is a reclusiarch? Does that explain the paleness?
ReplyDeleteHis helm actually is a skull. It represents the guise of the Emperor from his throne/crypt on Terra. The helm is rarely ever removed in the presence of his chapter. A Reclusiarch carries the message of the Emperor to his space marine chapter and citizens of the Imperium. Far different from the Chaplains in real life who don't even carry a weapon in combat.
ReplyDeleteWith 6th edition, Chaplain Mateo seems to have gotten quite a boost!
