Dog Soldiers: Making a Mess

I wanted something to test out all the weathering products I've been purchasing.  You know, before I go slapping it on all my models, untested.  I tend to paint darker colors because I'm lazy so I needed something lighter to practice on.

Hence, the Dog Soldiers.  I needed a basic Grey Knights Troops choice to use as Allies for Mordrak and Ghosts, but I'm not all that keen on running actual Grey Knights.  I thought I'd try to kit-bash something a bit more utilitarian and common.  Perhaps an elite unit for the Xenos Inquisitor character I've been working on.

 I'm not done with the models, but I started weathering some from the boots and greaves on up.


The Chimera is obviously not an option, but I'm painting it up as an Inquisitorial Chimera - I'm sure these guys will hop in from time to time.


I'm going to try something a bit different on the power weapons.  I just don't know how.  I'm going to have to watch some Les Bursley videos from here, methinks.


I've got a ways to go, but this has been a really fun project.  It's nice to have steps where making a mess is not only expected but required.


That's that.  Now I'm off for an Apocalypse game of somewhat epic proportions.  I'm siding with Big Whit, the Tim That Can, and the Card Pimp in Question to take on The Hoff and Just Doug in a 15K plus battle of Chaos versus Eldar.

Glorious!  Many hugs and gropings to follow, I'm sure.

One of these things does not belong here, one of these things is different...

  2. Your painting is poor. Your modeling is poor. Your pictures are poor. Your writing is poor. Keep up the great work!

    Seems to me like anything you write gets a lot of anonymous and named criticism. My appeal to popularity beats your cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias. Console yourself with more whining and complaining about how you do not get enough attention from GW.

    Another company that I'm looking at lately is Blight Wheel, which offers a fairly unique look:

    Anon: Okay, okay, okay, okay, thanks, and who cares?

    Any idiot can tiptoe through life trying not to offend anyone; the only guarantee there is to make no impact whatsoever. I choose to jump in the puddles, thank you. Criticism isn't something to be avoided, but embraced. Except for the anonymous kind, of course. Your type of hit and run bullshit I tend to ignore.

    Except you, of course. You're fun you are.

    Cognitive dissonance? Confirmation bias? Some little troll has been reading Wikipedia again.

  6. If only the coward too afraid to leave a name could see just what a complete fool he's making of himself.

    Anyway, nice work on the weathering on the Chimaera.

  7. Personal attacks? What sort of low life, insecure, jerkbag would stoop so low. Guess we have a lot in common, Spiderpope. Regardless, attacking someone's person does nothing for undermining their argument. Brent still sucks regardless of what you think of me.

    P.S. My name is Brent, and I do this because it is the only way I can generate comments.
