Warhammer 40K: 2nd and 9th Company Master

Finally, finished up the last of my company masters. The term finished is probably a little loosely used here especially since they probably could use some improvement at a much later time.

Sammael - 2nd Company - Ravenwing

A close up at Sammael himself

 

 

 

Instead of the fine panel lining on Sableclaw, I decided to go with drybrushing Dawnstone over the unit to give it a very dusty look. The twin-linked storm bolter was overdone as I was retesting out the application of Kindleflame which I had last year and never liked the result on my Death Angel units.

9th Devastator Company Master

Left the eyes out

 

 

I liked the result of the cloak here. Not over washed like some of my earlier models while looking bone smooth with parts of the folds looking clear. Maybe should have lowered the exposure on the camera when taking this (I have been using +0.7 on my camera all these while)

Finally, a shot of every company master together.

If you take a closer look, I have updated Balthazar with a banner to keep the front row uniform.
Here's a close up.

Warhammer 40K: 2nd and 9th Company Master WIP

Just a little update on the latest work I am doing over the last few weeks since the last update. Things are slowing at the moment since my 2nd kid is now here (already a couple of months). Home comes first, but there will definitely be some time for this every now and then.

Sammael, 2nd Company - Ravenwing

 

 

 

Of course I would wanted to get myself Sammael on Corvex. Unfortunately, I did not exactly have the budget during my last trip over to Penang (for work). Hopefully it will still be there when I have some cash to spare.

I also went with Sableclaw since I identified some parts which were meant for Sableclaw from the Ravenwing accessory pack.

9th Company

 

 

 

The Company Master is built from parts found on the Dark Angels upgrade frame. This unit should do just find for my use with the Devastator Company, although he looks more like a company veteran instead.

Warhammer 40K: Dark Angel Company Masters Part 2

Finally, 8 out of 10 Company Masters.

 

The only ones left are Sammael of the 2nd Company (Ravenwing) and the 9th Devastator Company remaining.

Belial, 1st Company - Deathwing

3rd Battle Company

4th Battle Company

Balthazar, 5th Battle Company

6th Tactical Company

7th Tactical Company

In case you are wondering, yes. I am swapping both masters of 6th and 7th in to keep so that it would be easier to line them up in the display case as seen in the top two image. I'll be fixing the leg insignia very soon.

And now, the new ones.

8th Assault Company

 

 

10th Scout Company

 

 

For the 9th Devastator Company, I decided against using the standard Space Marine Captain Model as I notice the left arm position is very similar to the AOBR captain (my 4th Company in this case). I am going to see if I can make something worth while after getting a box of devastator squad.

As an added follow up, the new librarians.

Librarian 1

 

 

Head swap with the Master of Marches Captain. Seriously, he looks better as a librarian with the scroll in front of him.

Librarian 2

 

 

Head swap with Master of Rites Captain. Just realised that this guy has an Iron Halo, which is not available for librarians. Oh well, who cares. The other piece of this model was warping at an odd angle. Probably due to the weight itself. I am currently working on fixing this and will attach to it once it is done. The right shoulder pad also had a subtle indentation for the Tactical squad which I will rectify once I have an idea on what to do with it.

I will be back to finish up the Land Raider since I recently had some good inspiration from Mini Brush Studio.

Warhammer 40K: Dark Angel Company Masters

As mentioned in my previous post, I had a side project going on. While scouring around ebay, I came across games-workshop's exclusive captain minis which was released earlier for purchases above 60 GBP. Both versions were flooding ebay at that time which got me itching to get myself a copy, since they would make great company masters for my Dark Angel Chapter (while my primary goal is to complete the Deathwing Company, I am definitely looking forward to the possibility of myself owning the entire 1000 man Dark Angel Chapter). Together with the space marine captain from Assault on Black Reach which I acquired as part of a purchase with a buddy of mine (he took it to be precise, and I actually liked the model), I got myself 4 new company masters.

3rd Company Master

 

The 3rd company master was the second limited edition captain which I added the wings (from ravenwing upgrade set) on the helmet. Just noticed that I screwed up the Dark Angel symbol on the flag. Will be repairing that later. Made a mistake of attaching the backpack and banner on the model before painting.

4th Company Master

 

The 4th Company Master is the Captain from Assault on Black Reach box set. The company symbol on the left leg was tricky to paint on.

5th Company Master

 

If you have been following this blog, you would have met Balthazar from the Dark Vengeance box set.

6th Company Master

 

The 6th Company Master is from the first web exclusive model which was recently released. I certainly have no idea how to paint the skulls on the cloak as I was certainly not expecting that at all. Also I forgot to paint the lens on his face.

7th Company Master

 

It would certainly be wrong not to get a copy of the Dark Angel Company Master finecast from Games-Workshop since he is made specifically for the Dark Angel Chapter with the iconography on the banner and cloak. He would have been the 3rd Company Master if I had purchased him earlier.

8th/9th/10th Company Master
I have yet to acquire the company masters for the last three chapters. Even so, I am planning to use the following.

This unit was made for use as the 8th Company Master of the Ultramarines. I am using him as the 7th since he has Jump Packs (why was he assigned to the Ultramarine's Devestator Squad, I would not know).

The generic space captain model will be used as my 9th Company Master due to the lack of proper models available that represents the devastator squad. I will certainly look for means to replace the head decoration with wings to fit the Dark Angels.

Originally the 9th Company Master for the Ultramarines, I'm using this for my 10th instead since he looks more kickass as the scout company with the scanner and all.

I have placed the orders for the missing models. Hopefully the will be completed by the end of the month.
