Here is the all Important Vox-Caster.
I did not use a grotesque head on him but a gasmask head instead that I have cabled to his vox.
I used thin 24 guauge wire for he helmet antennae.
He also has a powered down Auspex so he can call in artillery strikes.
He could also stand in as an Evil Master of Ordanance
This guy is a mismash of parts from Maxmini,Cadian shock and command sprues and a cable from Dragonforge.
They are soooo much easier than using PITA guitar wire it comes in sizes that work for both characters and vehicles.
I have the style of painting them down the way I feel they were described in the books with red fatigues the color of dried blood.
-Solid Dark Flesh base
-Wash of Devilin Mud
-Two washes of Baal Red let each wash dry fully before applying next
-Highlight high folds with 1/1 VMC black red/carmine red
-Wash of baal red to help blend in the highlights
He looks really good. Great pose and nice additions. I just worked with the cabling from Dragonforge for the first time last night and it's a treat.
ReplyDeleteFor my Blood Pact vox operator (http://pickadamnarmy.blogspot.com/2009/03/8-pacters-painted.html) I used a really thin roll of greenstuff as the cable between the vox and his handset.
