The Minotaurs & also Horus (Updated August 18th)

[GrandMagnus]

I have a question which I hope you can answer (since you have used the tartaros pattern), is it easy to mix with the Dominatus (the regular) TDA pattern minis?

 

Also, again, nice minis especially the terminators.

[Lorenzen]

You could "sort of" the waist of the tartaros is quite different but mating the legs to a plastic chest wouldnt be that hard with some work. Arms may look odd, not looked into it much.

[Noctus Cornix]

Bringing up the standard issue Terminator armour Dominatus Pattern, I would recommend, if it ever arises, that you use Dominatus helmets on your Tartaros Terminators. I always liked the Dominatus helmets because they have this very brute feel to them, like a bull's head so I think it would be great for Minotaurs.

im working on them at the same time as this wench! the mino symbol was done with the left over gs/mp mix from your cloak!

honestly some people...

for those who don't know.. im sculpting a praetor (or 2) for Rider..

he'll be getting a lion pelt and a bit more bling on him before long.. currently taking 3000 grit sandpaper to the cloak to make sure its pretty much flawless.

Holy crap! How did I miss this guy! I want your knowledge on how you made that awesome cloak, you have, with a single miniature made me considering doing a loyalist army again. Kudos sir, kudos.

[Lorenzen]

Theres a few pics of the work in progress version of my 2nd death guard praetor and a tutorial for loincloths in my death guard topic.. its essentially the same type of thing just on a bigger scale.

 

 

been doing a little bit of painting, mostly just blocked the colours in outside of the bronze so far, but its progress none the less!
the highlights are a little over exposed, ill be changing the background to white for future pics i think and getting my camera setup to make them as lclose to how they look irl as possible..(something gw should do..)

[Drunes]

Like it ! Can't wait to see your finished Ajax

[NightHunters]

That really is a great pose!

[Marius Perdo]

Indeed it is. Looking great. I note with some shame I seem to have inadvertently copied it with my last MK VIII. I wondered where I got the inspiration from...clearly Lorenzen's thread infected my fragile little mind.

[Knight of the Raven]

Good updates. I like the use of etched brass.

[Lorenzen]

Quick update, been working more on the tac marines.. need to have a chat with Dargor soon about a few things but thought id get some basic models done before moving onto more of the "cool" stuff like the termies..

im unsure which background works best for these dudes for photography thinking the black, but need to fix a bulb to really check properly.. some of the highlights i think are a little too broad and i may need to neaten them up.. but otherwise im pretty pleased with them so far.

[Laborious]

They look superb, Lorenzen. :) And I agree with you about the black, looks more moody for want of a better word. :)

[depthcharge12]

Aiming left handed marines?!!!

 

HERESY!!!

 

other than that superb job matey...love what you did with Kael

[Lorenzen]

Okay bit more work on the tacticals namely the sarge.. I've found a setup that I feel gives the most accurate depiction of the models (though some of the shine of the metallics is lost) from here its just a matter of fine tuning things.

Lots more to do.. transfers arrived today also so I'll be having a play about with them later I think..

[Marshal Rohr]

The sanguinary guard torsos are extremely complementary to the models. Excellent choice brother.

[Laborious]

Yup, they work really well. That sergeant shows just how badass marines are, he's lost his head and he STILL refuses to go down! hardcore! :p

[Telencephalon]

I love the metals, they are very vibrant! In general, the paintjobs are very tidy and the conversions look great!

 

I'm impressed!

[Lorenzen]

Done more work on the praetor model for Rider, still a lot of work to be done before i'm done with this bit of the model

[Marshal Rohr]

That Lion's head is insanely good man. I dont know how you do it, but you always deliver with the sculpting. 

[GrandMagnus]

Nicely done!

[BrotherJim]

they are beautiful

[Lorenzen]

thanks guys, this is my first time sculpting an animal so the fact that you all like it is awesome! Oh and M2C practise, more practise, harassing of Sam Egan, even more practise and a crap load of patience (hard learned from sticking my thumb in things)

 

ive done a little more work on the lion, looks much more leonic now

 

 

*edit*

bit more work again.. really quite pleased with how hes turning out.

 

[Midnightmare]

Your sculpting is pure awesome man!! The converting and painting are also of a very high standard (with a good pallette choice).

 

Makings of a fantastic army

[Rider-75]

I can't wait for this to come home and I hope I can give him the paint job he deserves.

 

He's really shaping up now :)

[Dosjetka]

I can't wait for this to come home and I hope I can give him the paint job he deserves.

He's really shaping up now

Lucky man, to say the least ;)

[Brother-Chaplain Kage]

^{Wow, the sculpting work on that lion head...}
