kikkala Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 @RazakelXIII Thanks mate ^_^, crozius is still on the drawing board, and I'm getting some solid progress on it. @lilgrim13 Oh please, you're exaggerate a little bit :D. @Dark Disciple Thanks man, I didn't use old ed. backpack though ;). You'll see. @TAS You've started painting your Apostle already, I'd want to leap to painting part already... too much to do still before that part :(. Another little update this time, I solved the how to include Mark of Khorne on the Apostle, and I think it's acceptable solution. Speaking of backpacks, I use the special backpack (from chaos marine sprue) that has the leering daemon head, little converting, which included cutting of the tongue from the daemon :tu:.

Ferrus Manus Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 You know I just finished looking through all 17 pages of this thread and the increase in quality is amazing. So excellent work there, it will be great to see what they look like in another 17 pages time :D As for your Apostle, he looks great, and that Mark of Khorne is extremely sneaky. Also, you don't mind if I steal the idea of the Anti-Custodes? I have an idea for my upcoming Slaanesh/Tzeench army... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackblade68 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Do you KNOW how many times a day I check this topic???? About 4 in all seriousness. I need more than just a little update!! :lol: OH! BTW the B&C is like crack to me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 A very clever way to get the MoK on the mini, and the good thing is that unless you take a good look, you won't really notice it, so the mini could still be easily used for other armies. Great work :tu: Heh, the painting stage is over rated, i like your modelling stage :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Disciple Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I have to agree thats very clever. I was thinking of using books for mine but I may have to steal that idea! You got me on the backpack, nice work on that one! You'll make the Prophet proud Kikkala blackblade68: Fooosaabaaa man, say it with me Fooosaabaaa.

kikkala Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 @Ferrus Manus Then you've seen how my Word Bearer used to look like :). There's the comparison pic with chaos lord, ugly sight :P. I feel like I've accomplished actually something. You can use the anti-custodes idea of course :). @blackblade68 The current dosage is little small, due the work, but hey, my vacation just started... :) @TAS MoK was success then :). We'll see about the painting in this update ;). @Dark Disciple Books are really good idea, maybe they'd me more appropriate on more less-slaugher-'em-all characters, they'd be torn off on the onslaught :D. Like I earlier told that my week long vacation from work started today, I've spent the evening celebrating with little refreshments. I wanted to paint something, even little bit. So little paint splashed on the apostle. It was an accident, I swear :lol:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilgrim13 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Man to bad I cant pour paint on my models and have it turn out like that!! If I was exaggerating......!! Anyways more amazing GS work and amazing accident XD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkApostle Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Looking good so far kikkala. ;) Now I'm sort of starting to feel I need to start my own Dark Apostle. :ph34r: TDA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrus Manus Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Does that mean that TDA doesn't actually have TDA? The irony :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkApostle Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Technically I've had some 4 models or so I've declared to be my "Dark Apostle". :lol: They have all however been scrapped for bigger, stronger and more awesome models in the past. I do however feel that it is time once more to create a monster of a Dark Apostle to shock the world with. ;) Sorry for the slight hijack kikkala! :ph34r: TDA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 That is one awfully clean and tidy "splash of paint Kik ;) After seeing your stuff and trying to paint my own WB stuff, i definitely need to go back to the basics again and practice, practice, practice! Should i have made my LPC entry just a basic marine vs the Dark Apostle, since i'm still iffy on technique in some areas. Anyway! Looking forward to seeing more of your awesome work :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Pugno Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Great work Kikkala - i love the Apostle that gives me an urge to start my army I was going to do in august! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 @Hubernator Well, head wasn't glued on that point so... ;) @lilgrim13 Hehe, thanks mate :D. @TDA What? You haven't got an Apostle, the blasphemy! :rolleyes: I don't mind the hijcack, no prob ;). @Ferrus Manus Even I was shocked about this. @TAS Well, you know me :). Practice is the key to every technique! @Captain Pugno August? I recommend that you start on March :P. Well the vacation is rolling pretty good, but Granpa Nurgle blesses me with cold. There is no better time to get sick that on vacation. Great. Little painting progress today while being sick. There could be more updates later this afternoon, if my condition gets better. Oh yea, there was talk about me doing the crozius from plasticard. The thing is, I couldn't. After 5 failures making the crozius from scratch, I decided to use chaos warrior chaos star, and scult flames on it :D. Good alternative, atleast I think that ^_^ .

The Angelus Sanctus Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 can't see how you can call that "little painting progress" :rolleyes: Your Apostle is looking very sweet and very dynamic :P Can't wait to see him finished ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilgrim13 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 can't see how you can call that "little painting progress" :lol: Your Apostle is looking very sweet and very dynamic :tu: Can't wait to see him finished :) Well seeing that he can paint his models on accident buy spilling paint on them I can see how would be little progress but to the average un-gifted painter this is great progress. I am loving his soo much just can't wait till I finish off the Tau I have going and finally start some of my own!! But seeing the growing piles of black (primed) models compared to painted ones I don't think it will be here for a while!! Great work and I'm sorry to hear your sick. Hope your feeling better soon ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 @TAS Thanks mate :). @lilgrim13 Well I wouldn't say that I'm gifted or anything, I'm just average painter who through experimentation and practice learned something :D. Finally Dark Apostle is completed, though I'm still lil' sick. I'll take better pic, when I'm able that is :P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItSeWiNg Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Well im sat at home ill and this fantastic models have made my day :angry: excellent job alround kikkala great job cant wait to see more - Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 You completed your DA in what, 6 days, and i took 6 weeks? :angry: Great work Kik :tu: I have to admit, you've done some fantastic personal interpretations of CSM/SM characters! Looking forward to seeing what else you crank out :) Question for you though! How are you doing your bone/cloth technique? I'm assuming you are starting with a dark brown, moderately highlighting it and then capping at bleached bone. Looks really good, something i wouldn't mind trying out since i wouldn't mind something dark than the color i used when i did my own DA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 @ItSeWiNg Thanks mate :). @TAS 8-9 days to be truthful ;). Doing counts-as models is pretty fun... perhaps sometime there will be WB counterpart for every character in the codex :sweat:. (Oh, I answered about the recipe in your thread.) Okay, now that my condition is getting lil' better, I could clear my mind and take a decent pic :D. It's funny, usually when I do non-god specific models to WB, no prob. When I do god specifid model, other gods get all cranky, like Nurgle for example, gives me one his lil' blessings :D. I haven't started/continued other projects yet, but near future... more updates ^_^ . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
