capt.nuss Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 'ere we go again. Riding in style is as important for the Emperor, as it is for everyone. These are the WIPs for the first raider: Overview: http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/PICT0298-1.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/PICT0302-1.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/PICT0299.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/PICT0297-1.jpg Details: http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/PICT0295.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/PICT0296.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/PICT0300-1.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/PICT0301.jpg On the Top side i'll add some Scrolls with his most important victories. What needs to be added or changed? Any additional good design ideas? U know im a whor* for comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widowmaker Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Holy -_- !!!!! That's AWESOME!!!!!!! I particularly like all the free hand panels. The cherub (on the model's back RHS) and the knight (on the model's LHS) are very cool. Do you have any WIP shots? I'd love to see how you did the more streamlined sponson mounts and the slabs for the script. Good looking NMM too. If I had to make a criticism - and trust me, it took a long time to find one - the black vents at the rear have some of the hull's paint on them. Other than it's absolutely gorgeous. Hang on.... My bad... these are WIPs? :P Good lord man, I thought this was done. How much more are you doing to it? I can't wait to see it finished. Cheers Widowmaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellChyld Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 you can see he replaced the twin linked heavy bolters in the front sponson to the turrent. Looks good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luther - the fallen Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 *walks over to widowmaker and Neph and drools with them* awesome. love the turret mounted Heavy Bolter, and is that the Pre-heresy Land Raider kit from FW? the freehand is phenomenal, and you're saying this is WIP?? Emperor's Mercy! can't wait to see the finished vehicle. now teach me that kind of freehanding! Luther.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obliterator Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I think I'm just gonna stand off to the side with widowmaker and drool till your finished. * Oblit strolls towards a bunch of comatose guys, just standing beside the road, drooling as if they just had a lobotomy... * Howdy guys, what's the drooling about? * Neph points over Oblit's shoulder * * Oblit turns around, sees enough gorgeous freehand to give the Sistine Chapel some decent competition, drops his jaw and starts drooling with the rest... * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt.nuss Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 @ all Thanks guys, really. I think i'm just going on with that stuff for getting comments. I'm such a b*tch. You just forced me to look up what 'drooling' means - it must be sth. like loosing liquid from your mouth... I really hope, this means something good or positive. :lol: WHAT would you paint on custodes standards? I just finished two standard bearer models, and don't quite know what would fit... Now on to the questions: @ Meatgrinder The turret is plasticard, but my orientation was a kind of leman russ style, after is didn't get to manage an 'eagle head'-look like i wanted. @ NemFX Like it was said, the Hbolter was moved to the turret. Just a question of looks, i did not want to change anything about the tanks functionality. @ Luther I never use any kits, its all simple plasticard and gs. The freehands are quite finished, i'll just add some more, especially to the top. But after all its the emperors ride, he needs something sistine-chapelish. Try to do the freehands in grey, thats easier. I just take something from a 'dex for example. Does just take about an hoer per pic, no scetches needed.

Brother Cambrius Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 *joins the queue of droolers and lets saliva drip uncontrollably from his mouth* An absolutely marvellous piece of work there capt.nuss! I think for banners they would have plenty of lightning bolts and eagles. I've got some info somewhere on what the Emperor's symbol was during the unifactiohn of Terra. It may be the lightning bolts. I'll check now. Do you have any infantry units to join them? I wonder what the commander would look like... Cambrius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt.nuss Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 It really has to be something besides lightning, eagles and leaves. I dont' care how complicated, it just has to look cool. Perhaps a famous fighting custodes, or sth like that... Do you have any infantry units to join them? I wonder what the commander would look like... errrrm... The infantry units of this army are the ...other custodes... ...and the commander is the 'emperors incarnation' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeatGrinder Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I think for the standard you should pain the winged lightning bolt, which iirc was the symbol of the emperer. *continues drooling* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt.nuss Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 So, here for all u droolers out there: som WIP shots of the first three of my new termis: Modeling is nearly finished. The painting is done for the gold parts mostly, although some details are still missing. The red stuff and all parts that look unfinished are unfinished. The guy on the left is supposed to get a shield and CC waepon like a hammer or mace, i just don't know yet exactly what i wanna do. http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/PICT0305-1.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/PICT0303.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/PICT0304.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/PICT0306.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/PICT0307-1.jpg Would you add tabards? What Weapon would suit the CC guy the most? Anything i missed that needs to be added or changed? Any comments? I'll probably add some more this evening.

Pulse Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Oh my, they are fantastic. Tabards i would leave out in my opinion and keep the simple look to them, it will makes them stand out that much better. Also i would personally go for a shield and mace/hammer for the guy on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt.nuss Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 First one done, 9 more to come. I'll do the bases in one step in the end... size comparison: http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/PICT0313.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/PICT0311.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/PICT0310-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graypaint Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I am really digging what you did with your work on the metallics, I am not a huge fan of the terminators though. Their arms are very scrawny when compared to their legs, but I think that's more or less impossible to avoid when you are upscaling them. The custodes are much more pleasing to the eye, and I really enjoy the more "top heavy" look they have due to their more slimmed down leg armor. If you could ever show us some greens of their legs, or tell us where the bitz for them came from, I'd be grateful (even more so if I missed it and you could point it out to me :o ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadlight Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 your painting skills are awesome, i am really impressed with you whole project. I really like the autocannon conversion you did too. that thing looks deadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octavulg Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Meaning no offense, but they seem a little plain. Nice, and well painted, but plain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt.nuss Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 @ Graypaint I also like the elegant look of the standard custodes much more. Perhaps its a question of contrast, when one looks at the whole army. From the pics that were the guideline for the termis, they have to be quite bulky and massive. Pre heresy ones especially. Concerning the arms i have to admit that im just too lazy to rework them :) . For Custodes standard bits i just use heads and arms. If you really want to see a green of a leg, i can take a picture for you. But they are not that interesting i guess... they look quite the same, but are ...erm... green :). @ Deadlight I really like the autocannon conversion you did too. that thing looks deadly. U mean the size comparison guy? He'll do service as heavy bolter guy for the Tears of Medusa soon. @ Octavulg they seem a little plain. Nice, and well painted, but plain. Yes, you are perfectly right. They ARE plain. But from what i know from pictures, they have to be. Usually they dont even get jewels, but that is just not the kind of pimp style i wanted to acieve for the army. I'm even thinking about painting some symbols or something on the shoulderpads or breastplates, but looking at the 'pattern' i shouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
