Ravenwing Chaplain and ATV WIP - Part 3

 

Ah, the leering skull helm of a Chaplain. Such a thing to behold. I'm almost TO DONE on these models and so close to DreadTober. I need another session to take a long last look and touch up things, correct missing highlights, etc.  No worries...?

The Chaplain's base was completed.  Nothing fancy, and fits in nicely with what has gone before in this collection of Dark Angels. I am imagining that a grey rock might have set things off better, standing between the black and the brown.  But prior models got this look so I kept at it for consistency when the whole force is displayed together.

Here is the (almost) completed model permanently mounted to the base.

A couple different angles here for reference, in case you are looking for a view at specific details. Seems suitably Ravenwing for my tastes!

Next up, I decided to mount the ATV on a base as I've seen others out here do.  It just fits in better when grouped in a squad with the bikes. Great opportunity to repurpose a spare base from the bits pile.

Nothing fancy here, just the same glued down gravel treatment and the same paint recipe, of course. Simple, but quick, cheap and effective.

I think it helps balance the model, which isn't as big as a tank. It will certainly prevent me from breaking off one of those front wheels in the future, if nothing else.  I dunno; I just like it!

I'm coming to the finish line with a couple days to get these models TO DONE. Shouldn't be a problem.  I'll have one more post up with the completion, but then its all DreadTober for the next month. Check back 10/1 when I reveal the model I'm painting for the annual challenge. Until then, keep your powder dry and your chins up!

Cheers and Happy gaming!
