Inquisitor Game Discussion / Inquisitor Exterminatus 8-10
Last post by jdemiri - March 21, 2023, 09:12:28 AMHi,
Glad I found this place, thanks in advance I'll go through the many posts in due time.
I've been looking without any luck for issues 8, 9 and 10 of the Inquisitor Exterminatus magazine in pdf format. Is anyone able to help me with this?

Last post by gpemby - March 20, 2023, 02:34:39 PMSome weathering has begun. Its probs close to one of the final stages before I put them together and move onto the final touchups. A lovely dirty oil wash. Learning from my first go where I got a really glossy finish I worked with some older oil and it worked really really well.
However there was some negatives with the way the pooling has dried in a couple of places. It might not be the end of the world but I will have to see how well the oil re activates with some spirit to try and produce a slightly better blend.

Last post by gpemby - March 18, 2023, 02:54:44 PMDo you ever look for a sign that you've made the right choice? I have been enjoying progressing these gents and building a new, different warband. I sat about a week ago looking at them lined up on the painting handles and thought about how I'd like to expand them. I love the aesthetic I am getting from the grim guard models but I wanted something less soldier. Something to bulk out the ranks with that can provide a very contrasting view but still fit within the team.
I wanted something poxwalkery.
Guess what just dropped into the tribe inbox!
Absolutely buzzing by some of these guys! Just could not have been more exactly what I was after!

Last post by gpemby - March 14, 2023, 05:09:06 PMIt's been a while since the last update and that is in most part due to choosing to spend my limited free time from the last 2 weeks doing some actual hobby over writing about it. It's been the odd hour here or there though, so I've had to make mini tactical progress over sitting and pushing the models really far.
There was a good amount of clean up done around the coats and highlights before I moved on to this flamer guys head. I wanted to make him look sick so started with a green base colour. While the first layer of dark skin appears to have covered this in the photos I have actually done well to leave it in the recesses of the face and focus tiny glazes in these areas to only slightly tint the green with the skin tone to keep the shadowy green.
Going for a horrible open wound look I washed purple into the craters across his head before using a necrotic flesh tone to work around the edges to clean the water marks that appeared due to the wash/speed paint pooling then drying effect. Then some disgusting slime paint has been added for the puss, pooling and leaking from the bottom of each.
One of the next areas to see some progress was his leather pouches and shin pads. I have failed to get any sort of good clear photo of these but they have been highlighted and started to be slightly worn around the joins but while you can see it with the naked eye it does not show up at all in these images. You can see a bit of it on the shin pads but that's just layer 1 under a wash which I will then touch back up to a bright highlight to pop the damage.
Next for an update is the weapons. I have made a start on both sets but really focused on the plasma effect. I don't think I have ever tried it before so it was an interesting process to try and play out. I have not got the exact result I was hoping for as my yellow/orange wash appears to have dulled the white base layer significantly more than expected. Some tinkering required to bring a bit of a glow effect back onto it.
The final update is a funny one. As despite the appearance in the below photo, his head isn't massive. He's not a bobble head of a fella. It's just a weird side effect of the perspective. It was an attempt to capture the coat buttons that have been brass'd up a bit but ended up just being funny.

Last post by gpemby - February 28, 2023, 07:49:38 PMBit of an update to keep the project progressing. I have had a few evenings off due to Birthday celebrations and it being half term to extra tired from entertaining children all day.
When I have sat down to paint I focused on getting all the base colours in and then on to the highlights.

Printer goes brrrr.... The first batch of reinforcements arrive and get themselves on a base ready for paint. I have some catching up to do on the plasma guy. They have been chucked on a base but the arms aren't glued so I can get in behind to all that detail that no one will ever see.
The new trio at 54mm:
I will prime them with their arms on but paint the base colours and layers with them in bits. Mostly to make that step a few percentage points easier.
I was about to prime the big boy when I realised, I'd missed a slightly critical step. I had hollowed him and thus filled him with key drain holes. These would need a tiny amount of milliput to fill. Nothing too strenuous but did make me dig out my putty and see that it is very much past its best. I will see if it can do be used for this job or if the epoxy has self-cured and needs to be replaced.
I also need to print his hand / arm before I actually try and get some paint on him.

Last post by gpemby - February 21, 2023, 09:44:17 PMOh the weather outside is much less frightful....
So I went for it. I gave my resin a bath in some 80 degree water to really warm it up and I used my newish heater for home brewing under the printer to just try and give me a chance at keeping the resin in a nice working temp window.
And things looked good! In fact they looked better than good as I was expecting nothing.
And there we are, a complete build plate. No failures. Which I am very pleased about, not just because of the temp but this is a set of models supported on a new version of Chitubox on my new PC where I did not have my pre-sets from all of my previous prints and have had to guess/try and recall what I had set for this resin.
I have Scaled up the Big dude but I think I might have made a mistake with the upscale across the board for these guys. Due to the running pose of knifey I've not really put him side by side with an original model. I thought I would see where this chunky boy stands by comparison.
He's not as massively tall as I was expecting but actually I think he looks bloated and bigger for all the right illness related resons.
Turns out I was a bit too excited to run this print and while preparing the build plate for this chap and 2 other upscaled guys from the group I forgot to add his arms to the plate. So he is quite literally a H-armless addition to my 54mm version of this warband!

Last post by gpemby - February 11, 2023, 02:13:09 PMOh no..... They've only gone and done it again! A new set of corrupted guard models!

Look at this absolute banger!
I am also a massive fan on this new flamer dude!
Might have to re-mortgage my house now so I can run a heater near my printer to get some things printed!!!!!
