Space Hulk - Somewhere on Terra, 39000 A.D.- upd 22.05, p.14

A canteen would be fine, just not the uber-canteen that comes with IG.  Do you have access to any canteens or pouches from historical minis.  The addition of a stub or auto pistol would be good.

If you're located in the USA, I could send you a canteen and and a RT/2nd edition plastic autopistol.  If you're in the UK, I'll do it for the cost of shipping.

Thank you for the kind offer but I'm in Germany and I think I've got enough stuff to get her armed to the teeth

Though I think

Good suggestions with the replacement of plasma pistol, stub gun indeed fits her better. And that GW canteen is way too big. Have you tried a German WW2 era gas mask container thingy there instead, 1/48 scale size should be better than 1/35 one.
If you are in need of pouches and bits, I have lots of spare from Eisenkern troopers, happy to send you after Xmas hopis a pile of them

Not necessary at the moment but many thanks, kind of you But the idea with the WW2 gas mask container is a good one, I will have a look at it.

Next Inquisitor, the famous Lord Coteaz. Never didn't like much the golden power armour of the official paint job and decided to go with the plain metal, more appropriate for a fanatic servant of the God Emperor.

Also I've slightly changed my recipe for red, it's a bit less bright. I wasn't unhappy with the brighter red, but I wanted to get some little differences between the gang of Astragova and Coteaz.

Nice. Love the work around the eyebrows.  He's really intense.

[gamer Mac]

Lovely work

[FramFramson]

Yes, excellent work on that face, Prof.

[Prof.Witchheimer]

Cheers, lads. I'm quite pleased with the face too. That mini is a good example of how important a face could be. You can decorate a figure like a Christmas tree but afterwards everyone is going to look only at the face

Very nice work Prof.

I have always loved that Juan Diaz sculpt.

[matthais-mouse]

I dislike the gold armour too so I painted my own a dark purple haha. Although my face is not as good as yours haha.

your armour is good in the 'standard' metal colours

[Mason]

Great work, Prof.
A nice choice of subtle bling.

Thanks, chaps!

Didn't know it's from Juan Diaz. Nowadays they don't tell you that much about the sculptors of their stuff as once.

Dark Purple? Wow, that's really innovative I'm sure it looks nice.

Having a model like this one, laden with numerous things, you have to find a way to set priorities

A valuable lesson I learned from I can't remember where is that the face and upper chest attract the most and strongest attention on a miniature. So it's worth putting extra attention into those areas, since most people will view your miniature as a whole as being painted with the skill used on just the face and chest, even if you took it easier elsewhere.

Well said, really good point!

[warburton]

Excellent work on Coteaz, and looking forward to seeing how you complete the female crusader in the end!

[Prof.Witchheimer]

Okay, after some changes and additions. Stub revolver instead of plasma gun, purity seals, pouches, real damages  on the shield and so on. What do you think?

[von Lucky]

Works for me
