Doghouse Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 Cheers guys! :thanks: Just a quick update I've started highlighting the face and torso now so he's starting to take shape. For the armour I used a watered down fifty/fifty wash of regal blue and midnight blue, highlighted with regal blue and fine highted with a skull white/regal blue mix. The teeth are snakebite leather with progressive layers added with some skull white mixed in. http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/Picture057.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Defiler Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I do love what you do, mate.. It's so 'simple' but so effective !! You' ve totally found your own style.. (the Doggy Style... ?? :lol: ) Some people paint better than you, some people sculpt better than you (well, not that much here, actually, but whatever..), but your minis are so amazing !! :pinch: Nothing new to say about your minis, nor your GS skills... they both rock (hard !) http://forums.resurrection40k.com/images/smiles/metalleux.gif Keep up the excellent work, and give us some more viewing pleasure !! thedef' , waiting for the next update !!!!

Patrick O))) Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Those are ace My thing though is with the Night Lords themselves. Years ago I did a corrupted landspeeder in a NL colour scheme, not particularly well, and since then they've always looked to me like they're made of plastic. As if, they've simply been sprayed black then drybrushed blue, no weight to them Nothing on your modelling skills. It's my problem, I'll deal with it... ._.

Master Toddius Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Bro, in the last couple pages you have taken chaos and normal space marines to another level. The use of the termie parts and your GS mastery made that SM look even more like a gothic techie man 'o war. You've taken the languages developed in the chaos sprue and created another way to speak. You're blessed with an amazing eye for detail, sir. :teehee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 Thanks guys, it's greatly appreciated and is helping drive me onwards with this insane project! :wacko: The Defiler/Master Toddius: My style is developed from two sources really, firstly I grew up with Rogue Trader (think I was eleven when it came out) and back in those days we were limited to what models we had so had to be able to customize the models. All my gaming friends seemed to have inexhaustible funds at the time so while they had all the cool new stuff I had to make my own (breaks out the violin...) which is what got me started converting in the first place and drives me to push myself in modelling terms. Patrick O))): Now that's completely random...but made me laugh. :) I've only got a couple near completion at the moment with about fourteen models on the go at the moment. As it stands I've the Captain and Dreadnought finished, seven or eight marines of the first tactical squad well underway along with the Terminator and the possessed on the way. I'm working on the Night Haunter model (waiting untill I get my copy of the limited ed Graham McNeil Night Haunter story first), a true scale Land Raider and either a true scale Predator Destructor or Vindicator depending if I can make a workable turret. I'm also playing around with some Dark Mechanicus and rebel Ary stuff incase I want an Apocolpyse army. As soon as I get a workable groupshot I'll post pictures. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemFX Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Don't forget his Corona Nox and big feathery cloak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 Hmm, I haven't heard about that bit. What's his Corona Nox? Update of sorts. Due to loads and loads and loads of PMs here and on Warseer I will be starting a full tutorial for making the new "Actual Scale" marines in the tutorial section here on the B&C shortly. This will take everyone through the whole process from start to finish and include measurements with basic sculpting and armature techniques. Please remember to take notes as there will be a test afterwards. If anyone has any questions in the meantime regarding any of the models in this thread then feel free to PM me and I'll do what I can to help. This has been a public service announcement on behalf of the Doghouse party...:) Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulse Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Ooo looking forward to seeing that. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemFX Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 The corona nox is a crown. Made of strong, thin black metal, it's essentially a thin band around his head with a blood red stone in the middle of his forehead. I imagine the writer of 'Lord of the Night' used the Dark Eldar artwork as a base: http://uk.games-workshop.com/darkeldar/artwork/ (the first picture) theres also apparently two sticky up parts, but that makes little difference. If you want; I could draw up how I think he would look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prtyjedi Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Wonderful stuff, Doghouse. Looking forward to more. And I maintain my Ninja recommendation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 Cheers guys! :D NemFX: Thanks mate every bit of info helps, I'll have to check that book out at some point. If you want to do a sketch that'd be great! :) Update How scarey is this guy??? This will be the Aspiring Champion for the Possessed unit. I still need to do a lot of work on him and alter the position of the head so that he's looking forwards. Originally I thought it'd be cool to have him looking down on his prey but it's not really working. The left side of his chest will eventually be the arrows from the star of chaos, I'll add the arrow heads later once it's cured but may make it look more organic so it looks like it's growing out of his chest. It's a shame they did away with all the attributes for these guys as the wings are just for show now. :( He'll look a bit beefer once I've added the shoulder pads. I'm thinking of making him a former Chaplain that was either forced to become a vessel or did so willingly. http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/Picture058.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/Picture059.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellChyld Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Looking forward to the tutorial mate thats for sure and the Aspchamp is looking hella cool. him being a chaplin who showed his faith in the haunter would bring him strength is even sweeter. cant wait to seem him finished.

Stuart Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Looks great. What's especially nice is that adding these possessed will make this army at home on both the battlegrounds of the Heresy and the 41st Millenium. On a side note, at one point there was some talk of you quitting the hobby if you couldn't finish your Space Sharks. I'm glad it hasn't seemed to have come to that, but whatever happened to all that? Oh yeah, I'm currently planning a Heresy-Era True Scale White Scar combat patrol, inspired losely by these guys (I'ma try to avoid the mass green-stuffage), so thanks for the inspiration.

Merkava Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Beautiful stuff Doghouse! You've inspired me to get started on a HH era UM kill team, based on your stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 Cheers guys! ;) Stuart: Yeah, that's my logic behind it as well. It's difficult to justify why a pure pre-Heresy army would be fighting Tau for example in a game so I can just say they're regular Traitors where as I can also use them in a Heresy setting. Best of both worlds really. I was defiantely intent on chucking in the towel if I never finished the army because I was fed up of never completing anything. In short the idea of bigger marines stopped me from doing so, I will hopefully return to the Space Sharks one day in the future though, maybe when I've got these guys done. ;) Excellent, I look forward to seeing the combat patrol, if you post pictures let me know. Merkava: Nice one! They'd make a nice Tyrannic War Veterans Kill Team. :D Update time... Done a little bit more to the Aspiring Champion, mainly repositioning the head and adding the shoulder pads. I've got a little more done to the first possessed paintwise which I'll post pictures of later. http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/Picture060.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/Picture061.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marovingean Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Soo nice. Am V Tempted to do my own. Can't wait to see the tutorials. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulse Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 The head seems to be more off tohis right shoulder pad, could be due to body postion but it looks a tad off. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your account name here Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 While earlier I may have had my doubts, I do believe that you have proven me wrong. I really like what you did with the poses. I can see them snarling at me, preparing to rip my heart out. Brilliant, as always, keep it up, all that jazz plus some blues.

NemFX Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Picture should be done tomorrow. I didn't get the face quite the way I was expecting, but hopefully I got enough accurate.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted October 6, 2007 Author Share Posted October 6, 2007 Thanks guys! ;) battle captain corpus: Something big and scarey, maybe with a dead Dark Angel thrown in for good measure. Pulse: I'm working on that, it's mainly because of the positioning of the arms pushing the left pad further away. NemFX: Nice one! I look forward to seeing it. Update Well as there have been a few requests I've taken a group shot. It's not the greatest picture in the world but should give you some idea of the whole picture. I've also included a side shot of the Aspiring Champion, I haven't really had time to get much done but it'll keep the log ticking over for now. ;) http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/Picture063.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/Picture062.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
