Hoi There,
Happy New Year Everyone! While you have all been very busy with filling the Challenge with absolutely awesome posts, my hobbytime has been very sparse. I finally managed to finish two of my favourite 40K characters (and the very first named characters I ever bought for the game back in 1996) Interrogator Chaplain Asmodai and Master Librarian Ezekiel. These chaps have seen two earlier repaints but I think I will be sticking with these paintjobs.
Asmodai:
Ezekiel:
Before anyone asks: I consider the Dark Angels to be firmly loyal. Yes they have their own agenda and often work seemingly against the wider Imperium, but so does the Inquisition and nobody expects the Imperial Inquisition (see what I did there?) to explain themselves so why would the first Legion have to?
These will net me 10 points in the lists and make sure I am not wiped from the roster.
Cheers Sander
A great entry to get you on the board, Sander!

Lovely little guys Sander -- great to see you back -- and surely given this is a third paint job worth the 20 point bonus for "under construction" 😆
ReplyDeletecheers Simon!
DeleteThird time’s a charm Sander. Those look great.
ReplyDeleteonly too right Peter!
DeleteNice work!
ReplyDeletethanks Adam!
DeleteA great pair of Dark Angels, Sander. As you say, they are a nuanced lot, which makes them interesting at dinner parties.
ReplyDeleteI was at Trier in Germany with school and bought some blade guards at the local GW and the guy asked what Chapter I played and my answer was immediately followed by Loyal or Traitor?
DeleteIts always great to put paint on figures you've had for an age - nicely done Sander
ReplyDeletethanks mate, could not agree more!
Deletecool bit of work here, welcome on board
ReplyDeletecheers Martin!
DeleteGreat painting, the models and the bases! Nice opening shot
ReplyDeletemuch obliged!
DeleteNice work
ReplyDeletethanks for the kind words!
DeleteOh wow, I do like the older models from GW. Great work!
ReplyDeletethey do have a charm to themselves don't they?
DeleteThey are very loyal to the Emperor and are very keen to remove the non-loyals from their ranks. :)
ReplyDeleteexactly right Teemu, I knew you at least would understand!
DeleteNice old stuff !
ReplyDeleteYes the are, thanks Dave!
DeleteWelcome back Sander! Great work!
ReplyDeletecheers Ray! Great to be back!
DeleteGreat work Sander. At least the Dark Angels are loyal to...an Imperium...right?
ReplyDeleteI will give you the benefit of the doubt ;-)
DeleteDriemaal is scheepsrecht as we Dutchies are wont to say. They look absolutely fabulous, Sander. Well done!
ReplyDeleteklopt als een bus Martijn!
DeleteHow many skullz on these loyal chaps?
ReplyDeletewould you believe that I counted 47 skullz amongst them? Asmodai himself has 12 on each hand and is good for 36 skullz the remaining 11 are on Ezekiel.
DeleteWow! Make sure to include the totals on future Skull Duel posts!
DeleteLove me some old school Spam. Much better than those new fangled clumsy looking giants they produce now. Lovely paint jobs.
ReplyDeleteYes well in principle I totally agree with you but I have bought some of those new fangled boys as well. My hart will remain with the old school miniatures.
DeleteVery nice work, and close to my heart (or what passes for it) as well... as Dark Angels were my first 40k army, I probably even still have these figs kicking around as well! keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteCheers Byron!
DeleteLooking good, I think that Ezekiel miniature is a classic!
