Duodecimo Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 These Terminators look great! I love the candles and the gloomy paint scheme. A suggestion however, you may want to sculpt the candle flames so that they're bending and trailing behind the candles, for example, if the Termie is in motion.

kikkala Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 @Captain Mick, lmyrick, lilgrim13 Thanks mates :lol:. @Megalodon The lil' ones got 25mm bases, and they can use them, if I'm right. @TAS My little annointed, if I may add :lol:. I've been thinking to split them to 2 squads, little ones with more ranged combat, and the big ones with more 'flaming' combat :lol:. @Duodecimo Thanks mate, the candle lights were originally like that, but I had the time to accidently to squash them at some point ;). Maybe next terminator won't see the same mistake... Finally there was some time to get distracted from Iron Hands. Today morning I was like 'what to do' and I thought that The Angelus Sanctus and RazakelXII both have done/are doing their Dark Apostles. Since I don't have proper Dark Apostle. No, the 2 sorcerors aren't my Dark Apostles neither is the one with bionics. Apostle Time! Will I ever use the apostle in a game? Don't know about that, maybe he could be a Khârn substitute. Speaking of Khârn, the pose in artwork is made from awesome, you know. And there is some terminators coming along too, I didn't forget them at all, I swear :lol: . For fun, Dark Apostle is big boy.

firestorm40k Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Speaking of Khârn, the pose in artwork is made from awesome, you know. Dang that's sweet B) How come when I tried to make my Chaos marines run, they didn't look anywhere near as good as this? :huh: Awesome, truly awesome work B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Disciple Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 And here I thought you were taking a break Kikkala. Glad to see you giving the Word Bearers some attention though B) I cant wait to see how your Apostle turn out! Disciple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracoDarco Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I finally caught up!! I love your work especially your anti custodes, theyve given me quite a few ideas :D i only have a criticism of your non helmeted guy awhile back, his hair should be black, as per lorgars gene seed.

Asmodeus' Swordhand Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 pure sick :) I've always loved that pose. The green stuff work is great by the way. The plasticard spacers are a little bigger than the thigh still, as I'm sure your aware, and do need some more flattening/shaving. Good work again :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 If you use that as Khârn, it would be a most excellent substitute!! Either way, that is some great work. Seeing your skills with the GS/Plasticard increase with each model is amazing! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint of Steel Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 :( Wow.... these Word Bearers are truly inspiring! Your conversion and painting skills are fantastic, and it's easy to tell that some thought and ingenuity has gone into these models. Bravo! I've been out of the hobby for several years now, what with Real Life and all. It's stuff like this that reminds me of what I've been missing. When I eventually get enough cash together to be able to resurrect my gaming, I'll be nicking your red tutorial for sure. <_< My only criticism is that the Termies waists seem to be quite thin, is that a camera issue or will they be bulked out? Just out of interest, what do you use to cut your models when you're inserting plasticard to ensure the cut is straight? Are you just careful with a knife or do you use a modelling saw? Sorry for the n00bish question, but when I was younger I never encountered truescaling y'see! Good job mate. - SOS - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 From what i can tell on the Termie waist, it looks like Kik has only lengthened the existing the waist (it actually really does look that thin). Since the Torso has an internal socket, it's sitting on the ball end on the legs which is where alot of the waist sizing becomes an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 @firestorm40k Practice makes the master. It also helps, that you do the pose yourself, make sure that none sees you. :D @RazakelXIII Glad ya like it mate :). @Dark Disciple My vacations from hobby only takes couple of days :). Yeah, it was WB-lovin' time. @DracoDarco Thanks mate. I didn't know that Lorgars hair was black (sacriledge!). I took inspiration from kombat-unit's Lorgar illustration. Good to know anyway. @Asmodeus' Swordhand I'll shave off those 'thunderthighs', maybe tomorrowish, today I spent filling the gaps :P. @TAS I've noted that the experience comes when actually trying stuff :). Thanks for pointing out in termie question. @Saint of Steel Thank you, ingenuity perhaps, but thought, none at all :). Like TAS pointed out, I added more height by adding piece of plasticard on the balljoint, and other places too. In my opinion, when the torso is inserted on its place, at least I can't notice the thin waist. And about the cutting, I've never given extra attention for cutting straight, I just go with the flow perhaps ;). Mostly it gets straight, maybe all the experience I got while chopping up stuff for my other army (iron hands) kicks in when I cut. Continuing with fun project, which seems to be taking all the concentration from the Ironclad dread. It's not a problem :P . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrus Manus Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Wow, he's cool. Nice GS work on this one mate, did you hand sculpt the skulls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackblade68 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I just thought I'd let you know, both you and firestorm40k have inspired me to join the Ruinuous Powers. ;) I should get my first minis at the end of this week. I loved the termie with candles BTW. I want to see that Dark Apostle done! It looks flipping sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 These are looking awesome mate and is that Termie maybe destined to become the Coryphaus Kol Badar? Cant wait to see the updates on your Dark Apostle Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I've chanted it once before and i shall chant it again.... We are not worthy!!!! :) Great work :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 @Ferrus Manus Thanks mate, ye I sculpted them myself :). Check out Juckto's Legion of Damned modelling tutorial. @blackblade68 Call of Chaos is strong indeed :). @Biohazard 2nd termie is going to be one of 5 members of new squad, 1st member was done december, so wait till summer, the squad will be done by then :lol:. @TAS The 'unworthy' starts doing stuff, and maybe give some progress updates with his dark apostle :D. More progress with apostle. The crozius arm is just for show, for now :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilgrim13 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Are my eyes deciving me?? Is that green stuff *faint* Well that really makes me feel good with my GS skills. That pose is killer and I love that one handed staff. Good to see you back doing your Word Bearers. Can't wait for more!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Disciple Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 He's looking quite good so far Kikkala, very sleek which is a nice change. I think I may just have to check out that skull tutorial. Are you planing on going for a mace like crozius or the newer more staff like versions?

The Angelus Sanctus Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 The Apostle is turning out great Kik :tu: Man, you are making leaps and bounds with yours, mine still isn't finished ;) But i will try to do an update :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrus Manus Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Keep it up mate, I have to say after seeing your WBs I want to do a Chaos army, just have to pick a legion.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krewl Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I just happened to browse along your post, but I have to add one annoying detail. Your terminators (And obliterators) should all be on the bigger bases, and I noticed some where on the smaller ones. Still great conversion and paintwork, keep it up!

kikkala Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 @lilgrim13 Thanks mate. That's green stuff alright :D. My green stuffing skills used to be awful at first, and with keen practice, they became average :). @Dark Disciple I'm not sure about the crozius yet, I'll scratchbuild crozius of course, but I'm not going to be hasty, as the crozius is one major keypoints that make every Dark Apostle special. I don't want to screw up. :rolleyes: @TAS Heey, you updated you thread man :P. I might be going with leaps and bounds, but you take your time, which is better in the long run, you know :D. @Ferrus Manus You may quess what legion I will recommend :)... @krewl Thanks mate, if I'm correct, the obliterator and older edition terminator are allowed to be wielded in the bases, because their blisters/boxes included corresponding bases. Lil' update tonight, I started to positioning the crozius arm, and I sculpted a chaos star to shoulder pad, after it dries, I'll make it more 'edgy'.

lilgrim13 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Haha yea well than now looking back your GSing skills have improved quite a bit!! But if Tiger Woods and Tony Hawk are average than yea I guess that best describes you!! I love the ways he's coming along I can't wait to see more!!

Dark Disciple Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I really like how you've done the shoulder Kikkala. And nice use of an old back pack. Your Greenstuff skills are becoming unholy :huh: I know what ever you design it'll be unique. Disciple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
