ephrael Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I was just looking at the exact same miniatures and art today and wonderind how to incorporate it into my DA army. I have complete faith in your ability to make that art into reality. Brother-Chaplain Kage 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBA Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 There used to be a spear in his hands, but I see what you mean, lol. While I was proud of it at the time, and still am for the most part, it also makes me cringe a little. Back then I was still using the ribbon type of greenstuff and all the bright spots in it, most notable in the knee pads, is cured putty from where the colors met and I didn't know to cut that middle section out. (sigh) But I was happy with how close I got to the artwork with my limited skills. http://i.imgur.com/VPZvytS.jpg I have a big project in mind for another special character that will definitely push my modeling skills to the limit. No details yet as I'm still working out the rough idea in my head, but I hope to have something to show in the near future. Calgar? Shrike? I'm intrigued!

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Ultramarines? Eww, no. Never. Shrike would be cool, but no. Plus, he already has a figure that's decent. This guy hasn't seen a new sculpt in a very, very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Here's an actual WIP of a mkI termi by Dark Rage, http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274297-drs-consecrators-etl-updated-300613/ Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Thanks, Grot! That's some good work he did on that. I would make mine much bulkier than the original figure, more like Greyall's drawing, but I might shoot him a PM to see how he did the shoulder pads.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 I'm not sure how many of you might remember the Khârn model I started for a friend about a year ago, but my recent return to modeling has prompted me to look over some unfinished projects, and not just to knock out new ones. I lost steam on the Khârn build, mostly because I wasn't happy with how the sculpting was going. I don't want to show the most recent pics, so here's what it looked like before it all went to the warp: http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x5/Kageboshi/KharnWIP4.jpg I'll be looking to dust this guy off in the near future and give him his due. I have a big project in mind for another special character that will definitely push my modeling skills to the limit. No details yet as I'm still working out the rough idea in my head, but I hope to have something to show in the near future. Calgar? Shrike? I'm intrigued! Since I'm starting to blue tac some stuff together in the early stages of this mystery model, I figure I'd give you guys a little hint: http://i.imgur.com/HkQCAMY.jpg?1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I'm guessing the guy face-down in the background... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 Good eye, sir! I know it's hard to make out much detail on him, but it just leaves me that much more room for interpretation and artistic license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 LOL, no, it's Tycho. :D My first army was Blood Angels and I used Tycho in a fair number of games. The restless old grump continued to grow on me even after I dropped the IX Legion and was very surprised to see that GW killed him off in the Armageddon codex. Ever since I read that, I've had an idea in mind for a diorama where a group of Blood Angels are carrying his battered, bloody corpse back from the battlefield on their shoulders.

Hyaenidae Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I actually always liked that bit from Armageddon. It highlighted that even the greatest angels can fall, and heroes in 40k die bad deaths. To each their own, I guess. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with, man.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 I agree with you completely and always hoped they'd have more heroic deaths of special characters. Though I'd prefer if the Ultramarines had really embarrassing ones, like Cassius slipping in the bath and breaking his cybernetic head open and Calgar getting crushed beneath a vending machine he got mad at and punched.

Firepower Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Neat. Tycho was one of the first models I ever bought. I'd have painted him up again by now if it weren't for the nasty mold line running right through his damned face. :P Ahh, the Blood Angels. I remember when they were orange. I actually still have a spray can of the old orange spray paint they for some reason called red :D I look forward to seeing how it works out. Renditions I've seen of him both in model and in art always have him so static and monolithic. It'd be nice to see him showing a bit of that famous Blood Angel 'energy' in a more dynamic pose. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how dynamic he'll be in this idea, but I might do a living Tycho sometime in the future where he's caving in some skulls. LOL, no, it's Tycho.

Funny you mention that GK piece, because I tried to find a copy of that online to include in my original post to give people some idea of what I was going for, but couldn't find it, and I don't have a scanner. I want your Khârn! That one belongs to my buddy that dearly hates Ears of Khorne™. Here's the original thread on it, but reply in this one if you need to, so as to avoid threadomancy: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254684-building-a-better-Khârn/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Ah, didn't realize you were going with the pallbearer idea you mentioned. Pretty hard to do a dynamic action pose there :D Semper Fortis 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 That's one reason why I wanted to find that GK art piece Heinrich mentioned. I've spent the last 40 minutes looking for it again, and nothing. IMHO, it's one of the best pieces of art in the GK codex and no one seems to have put it on the internet. At least, not where I can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 Your stuff always rocks Kage, and I am looking forward to your final rendition of Tycho (guy is one of my all time faves). I hope to do him justice, but I will be making a few changes from the original figure. First is making his mask like the one in the illustration I posted, where it covers the entire right side of his face, and doing away with the digi-weapon built into the armor of his left hand. I never really could wrap my head around exactly how that worked, so I was thinking either I simply wouldn't model it, or since Orks tend to have lots of choppy and stabby weapons, his left hand might be gone. Here's a pic from the Armageddon codex that will give some idea of how much damage he might have on him: http://i.imgur.com/2Ast4fL.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
