Deathwing – Interrogator-Chaplain

This guy is Interrogator-Chaplain Brehgen, the latest addition to my Deathwing army. Hopefully he’ll hang out with my Deathwing Knights and give them a bit of a buff!

Like Eisenhorn in my last post, this model is resin. Eisenhorn was my first resin model and I didn’t clean it up well enough and only realised when I got to painting him. Unfortunately, I didn’t learn from that experience before doing this guy, because I cleaned them up and undercoated them at the same time. But actually, I think it’s turned out okay. There are only a few bits of rogue resin left hanging around, and you’d need to know to look for it.

The Rogue Trader / 1st ed Warhammer 40k Compendium had a bunch of stuff about terminators in, back in the day. Including the short story I included in my first Deathwing post. It’s from this story that I named not only that first Deathwing unit, but also Chaplain Breghen. Take a look at the story and you’ll figure out what my Deathwing Master will be called!

(The photos seem to be a little washed out, I think because of the time of day I took the photos – even though I use a lightbox!)

Eisenhorn & Cherubael

Taking a brief break from Deathwing, this is Eisenhorn and Cherubael.

Eisenhorn is resin and this was my first resin model. I’ve not been won over by resin. I didn’t do a great job cleaning it up and I didn’t realise until it was too late and I was already painting it! Hopefully I’ve managed to cover it all up okay.

But the model itself is pretty good. Lots of nice little details making it interesting to paint.

(not sure why the photos are so washed out)

But with all those nice details I couldn’t leave the cape as just a sea of black/grey, so I decided to add a few stars – slightly reflecting his psychic abilities.

And here’s Cherubael. This guy is metal. It’s a little while since I’ve painted a metal model. It was okay. The detail’s a lot less sharp than with plastic models, but I’m pretty pleased with the result. Does he look sufficiently emprisoned?

If you’re not familiar with Eisenhorn and Cherubael I strongly recommend the books! Xenos is still my favourite Warhammer book.

Next time, it’s back to Deathwing.
