hey, here is my chaplain. It's a commisioned piece but very fun to paint.

still alot to be done, especially nmm gold part and the crozius thingy. I'll get started on that later today

So far he looks really great, especially the parchment! (not my favourite Chaplain model though...)

Looks very promising.

I like the armour

Hard to say anything at this stage. But I`m curious about one thing... How have you placed mini on this cap? It`s not glued, am I right?

as you can see on the picture he is glued to a square metal plate ( a little edge is sticking out ) , the cap is a magnet holding the model. when it is finished I just break the metal plate from under the model.

I have to admit, not my favourite chaplain but you are doing well on it. I love the parchment, looks aged. Care to give the recipe? I do like the blue edging of the armour, different to the normal grey and adds a bit of colour/character to it.

the blue armour was requested by the customer. I quite like it myself, the colour scheme is working pretty well.

The parchment is vallejo leather brown + snakebite leather ( Don't know the vallejo name ) + bleached bone for highlights. to shade I used abit of black grey, it works really well.

The parchment is excellent and I really like the highlights on the armour - they are effective, interesting and realistic, and the armour looks black not blue.

I am only unsure about the helmet, the highlight seems to be placed where I would expect a shadow. Or maybe it's only a misleading photo?

very nice so far. I love the parchment. Scratches look cool too, except for the big one on his helmet. That one isn't completly correct I think. I think the white line on the top shouldn't be there.

Waiting for more
