Recognize where the head is from?

Looks like a kitbashing dream (for clarity I don’t own it but trying to price it).

😭😭😭

He is often described as carrying the features of Sanguinius… yet, his face feels to me like a mash up between an angry Mickael Bolton and a Sopranos back-comb heavy on the gel…

Any suggestions on what heads (and extra kitbashing?) I could use to make him feel closer in appearance to the Primarch?

(Art added as seems potential inspiration - all credits to the artist, unknown to me).

Tried to create “cloud” bases without using cotton, but just some GW bits, some UV resin and little balls made of epoxy putty.

Work in progress but almost there

Team almost there but the bases are taking me a lot of time.

My wife asked me to post this for feedback while I try to forgive her of her heretic ways (truth is I am very grateful that we both enjoy this hobby together :)).

Painted following Warhipster’s YouTube video and using Citadel contrast colors. For the base she has carved foam used Vallejo texture paint and used a variety of wood chips and Gamer Grass.

I’ve been using in layers
Kantor Blue
Macragge Blue
Temple Guard blue
Baharroth Blue
Titanium white…

And some option Green Fluo to give an emerald sheen.

Tried both with sponge and just with brush. Sponge is like 10 times faster.

When the second eye isn’t working out, a battle-wound does the trick

Thanks for all the advice from the channel! These are all primaris bodies with a lot of first born bits (all GW). Any feedback is welcome.
Here are some photos to celebrate :)

Not sure what we call when we used first born bits on primaris bodies. But her is my most recent Death Company with old GW bits on primaris body. Helm, right arm, right shoulderpad and jump pack are all off first born DW.
Seems to all work, even if you get limited movement for the head due to the jump pack. Next time I’ll glue the JP slightly higher than the guidance nubs.
Tried to keep colors to a minimum: reds, whites, blacks.

Been trying to come up with a cloud base that doesn’t need cotton balls for a while… and decided to just try use a “invisible” 1mm rod instead of a “tactical rock” to try to give the feeling my SG is actually flying. I’m pretty happy with the result. What do you think?

Thought I had finished this guy but then I saw that last bit. I think it’s a good fit!

Seeking feedback and help, sons of Sanguinius!

I’m liking a pretty black/red focused paint job for these primaris JP DCs I’m working on. Especially since the old first born bits help a lot to give the reds pop.

Wondering how to go with the Aquila…

Option 1) Dark Red (base Korne with some highlights and nuln oil to keep shading).

Option 2) Black - Mechanicus highlights over Abaddon and very light Administratum.

Option 3) Go silver. True Metallic Silver, Iron Hands Steel, Nuln Oil, highlight again with Iron Hands and then small tips of Stormhost Silver.

Option 4) just go gold and be traditional.

Option 5) Wildcard - other ideas?

Main lot is DA Asmodai. Wings from Scourges, Power Fist from old bits, Encarmine Axe from FB SG box.

Should I paint the blood drops on the axe a different color? Maybe red Fluor? Or just stick with how it is?

I also think I need to find an artifact to stick on his hand. Any advice?

Is it ok to give him a pass with GW Satin Varnish?
