Sigismund Part 2

I have made good progress on my model of Sigismund Emperor's Champion.

For most games he will be either a Company or Chapter Champion.

The armor at this point is pretty much done,now it is time to work on the cape.

The Gore on the head was made using Tamiya clear red plus black and two hairs off my head.

Chaptermaster D'Arquebus in MK2

Here is an idea I got last week

Using the Max-Mini steam knight head with Helbrechts body seemed the perfect way to represent the Chaptermaster.

Master D'Arquebus has a Deamonhammer gifted to him by the Inquisition who he has had dealings with for a long time.

Sigismund Emperor's Champion

While working on finishing a few of the previous models I got hit with Inspiration.

Using the Mk3 Master of the Arsenal and an Iron Warriors head I could make the baddest Emperors Champion ever known ,Sigismund with the decapitated head of a Iron Warrior in his hand.

Santa brought me a new photo-studio

He mostly got me socks and old navy shirts, but He did manage to leave a couple of really cool presents.

One was getting my old Pentium 4 machine totally upgraded to a quad core motherboard with all the bells and whistles.

The other was the portable photo-studio I have taken a new picture of the apothecary to compare

The first was with the computer paper and single lamp method

The second is with the studio with twin lamps and diffuser

I still need to play with it a bit to get the optimal placements for both the mini and lights

but I think it is a definite improvement.

Imperial Fists Apothecary part2

Here is Apothecary Regis further along.

I have added battle damage and a nice freehand of a winged heart and a Templar cross on his knees.

The metallics have received washes but they need highlighting.

Imperial Fists Apothecary

I had this great old model that I picked along the way.

An Apothecary with chainsword.

He actually has little hearts on him,

I do not know if he is rare or not but I cannot find him anywhere on the GW site.

Every once and a while I will do a member of the Command squad this is the first in progress.

He is the Apothecary Regis first companies top medic

He also has terminator honors so he can be outfitted in the same style armor as his captain.

Imperial Fists Sternguard Captain(Sergeant)

My force is a little unique.

Since it is all 1st company my Sternguard units have multiple sergeants in them.

They are the Vets Sergeants that accompany other squads throughout the chapter.

So this guy will be the model that would be in charge of them, a Master Sergeant if you will.

I always though the Master of Recruits model looks like he would be much more at home in a unit of Sternguard,he carries their modified bolter.

That is the model I am using represent Sergeant Wagner in smaller games he will be the captain.

In Larger Games when I field the Chapter Master he will be a sergeant.
