Dark Heresy Scout Vehicle Complete

Here is the finished scout vehicle. Check out the previous post about this project here. My 7 year old son got a hold of this just before I took the picture and dropped it-- breaking thee antenna. So I guess it's technically not finished! Actually, I am thinking about adding some weathering and road grime at some point in the near future... we'll see!

About 30 minutes before our last Dark Heresy session began, I decided to quickly paint up some stowage. They are not glued on, they are just sitting on the rack.

As a finishing touch, I stretched my free-hand skills by adding an aquilla to the spare tire cover. It's a little crude, but it gets the point across.

My Dark Heresy Cadre of Acolytes mk 2

Here is the group as it was originally formed. We have since lost 2 players due to scheduling conflicts. We will probably reach rank 5 in 2 session.

• Denathor (Adept) - WH40K IG Master of Ordinance by Zorcon
• Venris (Cleric) - Converted Necromunda Redemptionist Leader by Zorcon 
• Kaarl (Tech-Priest) - Custom figure by Adeptus-B
• Quintillia (Assassin) - Warmachine Captain Kara Sloan by Hmack
• Nickodemous (Imperial Psyker) - Converted Dark Age Bane Leader by Zorcon
• Skull Servitor - Skull Servitor by Zorcon

Next upgrades: I have a Techpriest Enginseer ready to paint for the mk 2 Tech-Priest, but the player has yet to take a servo-arm advancement!! Hmack  is already looking for a mk 3 assassin.

Dark Heresy Character Showcase - Cleric

I finished converting and painting our Dark Heresy cleric. Check out the WiP post here.

The cloak is a base of GW Iyaden Darksun Foundation. Then a layer of GW Bleached Bone covering almost the entire area, leaving only the deepest recesses. Finally I highlighted with GW Skull White. The vestments are a base of GW Hormagaunt Purple Foundation with a layer of GW Leviathan Purple Wash. I then added another layer of Hormagaunt Purple, followed by Reaper Elderberry, and finally a 60/40 mix of Elderberry and Skull White.

Well... I'm not sure what else to say about this figure. I think it turned out great! Actually in hind sight, I would have added grenades or a melta bomb instead of the scrolls (as the player has an affinity for things that go BOOM!).

I wanted to base the figure on a marble (or granite as it turned out) floor with gold detail. I used 4 classic chaos shields. After the glue set, I trimmed and filed the shields around the edge of the base. I then filled the holes with putty.

I painted the marble (err... granite) with random short strokes of reds, browns and oranges, with alternating layers of thinned Delvian Mud ink..

I also have the mk 2 psyker and adept finished and will add an entry about them in a later post.
