I haven't completed much miniatures stuff this month, but this week I finished an Imperial Navy chirurgeon, who will be the 'medic' of Inquisitor Isiah's retinue. He is equipped with a needle pistol & medical device. I stumbled on this EM4 Miniatures 'Ganger 5' model, & thought he'd fit in perfectly as ex-Imperial Navy. Wasn't sure if the dreadlocks were 'proper' enough for the straight-laced Navy, but then in a vast Imperium of diverse cultures which produces very distinct Imperial Guard 'ground-pounders', I'm sure the Navy must allow some leeway to accommodate different customs.
The backstory for this bloke will probably be that he saved Interrogator Rath's life when he was shot through a lung during the Heliosphan Purge.
Apologies for the poor quality of the photos - as of about a month ago, Picasa Web Albums started adding high levels of blue to my uploaded images, & I haven't discovered a simple work-around beyond repeatedly re-uploading until the image is as per the copy on my PC. Quite frustrating.
That is fantastic! Great mini, awesome paint job - love it!
ReplyDeleteCheers Mordian. I believe it was on your blog that I read how to paint white well - not using pure white! So this was the first time I used a bone-colour for the base, highlighting up to white only on the edges. Thanks for the advice, I was pleased with how the coat came out!
DeleteNot so sure about the helix symbol on the medi-pack though. I may redo that, but I don't want to use a red cross.
