Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Always with the cutting and sculpting Kage. I have a much easier way to do it but I can't post it here. I'll try to find the tutorial though. That is my nature. I can do a tutorial. It's a relatively straight forward conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 Hahaha Yeah, I know I have seen a tutorial somewhere around here, but I can't for my life find it right now! :P I've tried cutting, I've tried sculpting...it doesn't turn out that great though...just as my heels...

Excessus Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Well, there is a storm raging outside. Since I'm in Sweden, it's named the meekest name ever..."Sven". Really, Sven the storm? Is that the most destructive name they could think of??? :P Well, this seems to be the result: http://imageshack.us/a/img593/9924/z8by.jpg A little bionic: http://imageshack.us/a/img546/148/54yf.jpg And a little power: (I bought some small 1mm balls from ebay, it's my first attempt) http://imageshack.us/a/img4/5716/4vio.jpg It's supposed to be something like Mk IV...meh...

recon0321 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Wow love these alpha's where is that sword bit from? I will be watching these with interest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Great thread and love your guys. I need to say that mounting that sword blade on the chainsword body is BRILLIANT. Can't believe I've never thought of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recon0321 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 What's the sword blade from tho? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recon0321 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 How do the alpha legion pads fit? Are they smaller than the plastic shoulder pads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 The last guy looks awesome. I think you need to sand the GS down a little bit, tough, but in general it looks great. The studs on the shoulder look perfect and the sword is totally wicked. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Thanks you two! @recon: The sword blade is from the Skaven Stormvermin sprue and their halberd blades just fit sizewise so well as chaos marine swords and knives. The Alpha Legion shoulderpads fit the shoulders, but are a bit smaller than the standard shoulderpads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemal Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Beautiful models, especially love the effect on the lightning claws - plain ice blue blades look awesome when done well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Faceguard looks good man and very unique weaponry as well. Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Well, I guess I should merge my Thousand Sons in here too... I'm continuing to experiment with my photographing skills (and the obvious lack thereof!) One of my old Thousand Sons taken in a new light (sortof): http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/9503/wqos.jpg It's one of my only two finished Thousand Sons, but now I see I could go back and repair them a bit...together with all the other 16 TS I speedpainted for a tournament... :P Hmm, how do you edit tags and the title in a topic anyway?

Dragonlover Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Hmm, how do you edit tags and the title in a topic anyway? Edit the first post, then click 'Use full editor'. That lets you change the title, I assume you can add more tags as well. Dragonlover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skrundle87 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Alpha legion and thousand sons, that's my kind of mix. The son looks awesome, can't wait to see it if you plan on improving it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excessus Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Thanks! I added my TS to my tags now, but since they are part of my Alpha Legion cell, I didn't feel an urge to change the name. :) @Skrundle: Well, I need to get the other 16 completely painted first before I do anything to this guy...though in hindsight I should probably have dusted him off before taking a pic. I haven't used my TS in a while, hehe Speedpainted and assembled some horrors for a tournament. Now afterwards I need to get in there and repair stuff. They are getting some greenstuff love and some new pink! Also, there are a few I still need to assemble... http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/1203/0q5b.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Ah. The horrors we painted on site for the tournament getting some love, eh? ;) What do you use for you photo setup? I built a photo box a few days ago, so next time we have a campaign-day you can try it out. I dont really know if it's any good, but I hope it betters my pictures :P I still only have my iPhone to take pics with, tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrundle87 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Yeah I was the same painting my son's, the motivation was so hard with the tiny little stripes , well worth it in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Excessus, did you find the horrors were a bit heavy on some of their bases? I recently built a few squads of them and a bunch of them keep falling over, going to try gluing some spare magnets to the bottom and see if that helps stabilize the weight. The TS looks great by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prefect Apollyon Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 This is a brilliant blog. Love the conversions and my favourite Legion being done so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 @Nat: LOl, yeah! These are my hero horrors that I based, basecoated and "painted" with some help 1½ hour before the tournament, haha! It is time for them to get their GS love and a new layer of colour! Thanks for the help btw! :D @Skrundle: Yeah, the details make such a difference. Especially when it comes to Thousand Sons because, well, they have tons of it! Chaos in general, I find, have much more detail work than loyalists. Though, what I find extremely difficult, is to start re-painting on models I already have put paint on a long time ago! My Thousand Sons, as my horrors, were mostly speed-painted before a tournament. I am horrible with deadlines! :( This is how my two stress-painted Aspiring Sorcerers look atm: http://imageshack.us/a/img19/1784/ts13r.jpg These are the first one I am going to "repair" the paintjob on. But they have been on my painting desk for hours now, and I can't build up the will to dip the brush and start... @Tanith: I put the horrors as far back as possible on their bases, trying as much as possible to have the center of gravity above the base itself (including the arms). So far I have managed that pretty good and none of them are prone to falling over. My Thousand Sons on the other hand, have metal torsos and heads. They would fall over instantly if it weren't for the addition of this: http://imageshack.us/a/img39/8418/dsc0244b.jpg It's one of those things that lets nuts be firm against a wooden material, I bought a big-pack really cheap! All my top-heavy models have them. @PA: Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 You really should re-paint your t-sons. I'll bring some wolves for them to fight next week if you do ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 To slaughter wolves? That's a tempting offer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
