didn't the Uriah Jacobus figure come out with the first Sisters Codex in 1997/8?

That's correct but talking about sculpting style of Jacobus or others in this thread , I think they belong rather to the modern school, or early modern school if you want There is definitely a big lap between the original Rogue Trader stuff and e.g. Sororitas.

I have to admit this is a very similar idea to what I am working on.
Really interesting read and some great models with fantastic paint schemes.

[Admiral Benbow]

Thank god your former painting output is coming back ... Very nice work here! 

What's your rust recipe for the ground work?

[Prof.Witchheimer]

Cheers, lads

What's your rust recipe for the ground work?

First layer with the Citedel Technical "Agrellan Earth", afterwards mix of Vallejo Wash for Rust Effects and Citadel technical Ryza Rust. The greenish spots are made with Citadel technical Nurgle's Rot.

Pontius 1609, the Arco-Flagellant

conversion from a VOR: The Maelstrom figure (one of the Neo-Soviet cyclops, I believe), added some small details from various plastic kits or made by green stuff and a LAM gas mask. Unfortunately the photo of the unpainted version got lost.

I guess some pipes and tubes ans further details would have improve his look but at that time I got caught by other "wonderful" ideas for other minis and I've stopped here. Anyway, at least I've got him painted.







and here the group shot of the gang so far:

[Dentatus]

Lovely work. Especially the re-purposed NeoSov mutant.

[eilif]

Really great work. Love them all, though it's another example of GW inexplicably making women with men's faces.  I've got a stash of these kind of inquisitorial figures that I've been meaning to paint up for years. These kind of figs represent for me the 40k grimdark feel.

[Vermis]

I always kind of liked Uriah Jacobus. He sums up 40K's Imperium for me, or at least a big part of it. Nice work on that one, and the others.

[Blackwolf]

Man! Great work Alex

[von Lucky]

Yeah - bright and grimy. Which I imagine takes skill to achieve.

[syrinx0]

Bright and grimy is a great way to describe them. Nice work Alex.

[Prof.Witchheimer]

Your kind comments appreciated, lads

Really great work. Love them all, though it's another example of GW inexplicably making women with men's faces.

On this group shot, indeed, her face looks like a men's face. That's actually due to disadvantageous perspective and probably due to my insufficient painting skills

I always kind of liked Uriah Jacobus. He sums up 40K's Imperium for me, or at least a big part of it.

That's my point too, he's kind of a symbol!

Yeah - bright and grimy. Which I imagine takes skill to achieve.

Sometimes I'd like to paint more dirty and grimy and maybe I will do (or be able to do!) it at some point but it still didn't work quite without some brightness

[Nimrod]

Very nice group of characters. 
I like the color choices on them, and VOR  model works very well in a flagellant role.

[warburton]

Excellent!

[Prof.Witchheimer]

I've been reading a book about the First Crusade a few days ago and had the idea of building a 40K Crusader character. Kind of a peasant crusader, wearing ragged clothing and being on pilgrimage. Had immediately to think of this female LAM post-apoc figure.

What do you think about her? Does it work? Does it need yet more details?
