Lorenzen Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 update time.. i decided id play about with making a new character model (a bad habit of mine) mainly because swords and shields are cool and because i wanted to do something a bit fancier.. theres still detailing to be done on him, need to smooth the cloak out and hide the joins etc, but i like where hes going and thought id share the love as it were. http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd199/typhion/Image013.jpg http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd199/typhion/Image014.jpg in game terms he'll be used as asterion moloc.. because i cant find any other way of getting termie armour with a sword and a shield (and i know moloc has a spear.. but shhhhh!)

Terminatorinhell Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 looking good brother, don't worry I also have a horrible habit of making new character models :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 glad to hear it isnt just me.. im thinking of magnetising his sword arm & making a thunder hammer just so i dont get the lysander urge at some point and go digging through my bits boxes >.> hoping to have him ready to prime by tomorrow evening, ive got my sculpting hat on atm!

Lorenzen Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 got a bit of an update on the latest model.. managed to finish of the sculpting on him last night and started work on getting some paint slapped onto him.. thusly i present to you a slightly more complete but still way off version! http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd199/typhion/Image021.jpg some of the metal is on its way to being fully highlighted.. you just cant really tell.. i hate metallics *glares at case full of men who need to be painted in metallics* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Apostle Thirst Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I'm sorry that you hate painting in metallics, because you're one of the best I've seen at painting metallics :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 damn you.. damn you to hell!!! ^_^ my hatred of metallics comes from the fact that its a whole lot harder to get "good" metallics, its easy enough to get ok metallics, but the step up is a lot bigger than with normal colours (IMHO) anyways small update.. http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd199/typhion/brom.jpg http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd199/typhion/brom3.jpg thought id give you a look at his face.. it needs more depth, but it shows him being angry.. which is what i was going for.. also i need more of that head.. these various variations on the same character have left my stocks depleted!

Doghouse Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd199/typhion/Image009.jpg I think the army as a whole is looking great but this test guy is seriously nice. The face looks great and he looks really menacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 :sweat: cheers for the kind words doghouse, the whole army is being brought into line with that model.. it was a much easier process than the previous method for doing the armour but looks better. tbh whilst i was starting this army i did think of the cosmic space knights..

Wicced Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 i like your "cosmic space knights" :sweat: simple yet stylish paintjob and nicely painted. keep it up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain Angel Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Extremely awesome. I realy like the way it is painted and gives me great inspiration. i was specifically referring to the captain, but the whole army is just as awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 im glad you like them, the captain is far from finished, but i am very pleased with how he has come out so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 Thats right all.. its update time and for once i've actually been productive! :o ive been working on 3 tactical squads worth of marines.. theyre in various states of paint (minimum is boltgun metal) but i thought id spare you 10 pictures of 3 marines each and instead show you the most complete/interesting of them.. and a tank. http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd199/typhion/Image006.jpg warning tanks may appear shinier in pictures than in real life.. <_< lots of work left to be done, but it was a test for where to block in colours and not make it look too weird. http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd199/typhion/Image006-1.jpg the guy on the right is my homage to the original fire angel scheme.. ie helm stripe, beak etc.. hes also one of the least painted. go figure http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd199/typhion/Image005.jpg if you look closely at the guy on the left you can see his tactical arrow on his leg.. im quite please with his shoulder too.. http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd199/typhion/Image007-1.jpg epic sarge (rikart(, chilled sarge (gerhardt) and angry melta man.. http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd199/typhion/Image003.jpg another helmet stripe (ala the ia:9 book) grizzly sarge (ansgar) and testo the test marine with his girder of power. hopefully the pictures arent too terrible.. this lot are for the latest rendition of a 1750 list which should in theory look like this.. librarian - avenger, nullzone, termie armour & storm shield assault termies - 5 hammers ironclad - chainfist, melta, heavy flamer pod (locator beacon) dreadnought - assault cannon, fist tactical squad, combi melta, fist, melta, multimelta pod tactical squad, flamer, plasmacannon razorback tactical squad, combi flamer, flamer, plasmacannon razorback vindicator vindicator thunderfire cannon its been made to conform to the etc style competitive play so unfortunatley couldnt include bromhardt in it.. (plus hes crazy expensive at 235 points anyway!) C&C on both the pics and the list are welcome.. if they werent id stop posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I really like the pose of your terminator and his paint job looks great. I also like the detail on the tactical squads shoulder pads. The grizzled sarge is a favorite and I have to ask, where is that head from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 its the chaos termie lord head with a new scar carved into the side of his face with a hobby knife! seeing as the army is mainly silver, i figured that adding in the bits of heralrdy like on broms knee and on gerhardts shoulderpad would distract people from what many consider to be an easy paintjob.. that and having them all uniform would have been mind numbingly boring to paint and i have a short enough attention span at the best of times.. glad you like brom, hes one of my favourite models atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 ive been neglecting my duties as the lone fire angels fan for a while now.. so i decided it was time to get the ball rolling again by adding some paint to brom.. the banner is being painted separately, thinking of doing some crazy germanic heraldry on it.. not sure yet though. http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd199/typhion/Image006-2.jpg http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd199/typhion/Image007-2.jpg 2nd picture shows the cape i never bothered to take a photo of before.. and this whole thread is pretty much making me realise how much i need a better camera and some new daylight bulbs. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorenzen Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 thanks for all the kind words, i keep getting disheartened with this project due to the current marine dex, but all the progress others have made on here and the positive feedback ive had is a real boost. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Are you playing these fellas competitively? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 i try and make all of my armies competitive, ive fallen out of the competitive scene round here (throne of skulls kinda killed it) but im being goaded back into it by some of my gaming club.. the problem is, writing a fluffy but still competitive army with the current marine codex isnt fun. if it wasnt for the fact that i hate codex jumping (and have a space wolf army anyway) my fire angels would be running about with better gear for cheaper at the expense of the thunderfire cannon.

lokkorex Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 really like the captain's you've made, as well as the terminators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 as is my nature.. i decided i could do better with the power armoured version of brom and made a new one.. http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd199/typhion/Image008-1.jpg http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd199/typhion/Image009-1.jpg the photo has kindve washed it out, but his left shoulder has a greenstuffed cross on it. im much happier with him now as he is more in line with my initial ideas for him and fits with the terminator one better.. and yes i have independant character based adhd.. i blame the capes.
