kikkala Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 @metcalfedan, Terminatorinhell & Megalodon Thanks dudes :mellow:. @RazakelXIII Thanks, the near-future came earlier than I expected ;). @TAS Hmmm, Typhus sounds really good ;). Next one is.... Word Bearers equivalent for Typhus :wallbash:. Time to get GS-crazy! He's going to be at least 80% covered with GS, what a great way to get used with GS :). Like for example, the head is made from GS only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Ok, given the time stamping of my post (my Typhus suggestion) and your post (with a WIP shot of a Typhus suggestion) makes me wonder if you had this all planned out!! :wallbash: Nice to see those GS skills back in action :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 But what if I say that your suggestion started the whole project and the GSing took around 30min? :mellow: The current head looks like crap, to be honest. So I GSd typhus' head look-a-like. :wallbash: Looks better already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackblade68 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 In total agreement with the head looking better. I'm not a fan of Nurgle, but...meh. Can't wait to see the arms. Keep up the awesome GS-ing work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 But what if I say that your suggestion started the whole project and the GSing took around 30min? ;) Then i would have to say you are a god amongst mortal men!! The head looks great :D Although i was wondering (since you are going the WB look-ish) instead of the single horn maybe two? Similar to your Apostle. Other than that, he's looking great!

son of nocturne Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 The second head on typhys is much better, the first version was just a smudge of something whereas the second is much better! Brilliant as usuall mate! S.O.N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 @blackblade68 Thanks mate, nurgle isn't one of my favourites either, but the sculpting possibilities :). @TAS Oh please, a god :P. And another great suggestion, two horns will happen :(. @S.O.N. Thanks mate. Luckily I resculpted the head before it dried up :). It seems that I'm not able to take my hands from GS today :lol:. Soon you can't recognize the Abaddon under all that GS. Poor Ezekyle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Abaddon is over rated anyway :huh: I think the two horns really helped. I'm thinking since you aren't go for a pure Typhus re-creation, you'd still need something to 'anchor' it into the WB theme and you've done that very well. In fact i can already see him in some very nice WB colors in my head and that makes me all the more confident you'll produce yet another fantastic piece. I also like how you haven't gone "madly overboard" with the Nurglising. I ASSUME he'll have a nice ornate and deathly looking mace-like weapon instead of a scythe right?

lilgrim13 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Wow that looks amazing!! Give it a little time and you will be making your own pure green stuff models. Those two horns look great!! At the moment everything is looking great I have nothing to point out other than pure uber awesomeness!! :D (yes you heard me right) Keep it up!

Montuhotep Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Poor Ezekyle... Couldn't happen to a nicer bloke.... :P :lol: That helmet is sooo crisp - do you have a helmet of some kind hiding under there, or is it all GS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dràyhèn Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Swiftly scrolled all over these pages, and I must say that there can be seen some real progress in painting and sculpting. Cool conversions all over the blog, like dread, custodes and The Apostle to name but a few. Also, I liked the way you did those termies, a couple of them look like some truly threatening bad-asses. And I think I'm going to incorporate those 'Chaos Custodes' into my Black Legion, if you allow ;) Jatka samaa rataa ! Olis kyl mielenkiintosta päästä ottaan matsia joskus jossain turnees :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 @TAS Well, I was thinking to add some impurity seals to the mix, that and the paint scheme should be enough :P. The weapon could be some sort mace weapon, mace with 4 blades would look cool. :P @lilgrim13 Thanks mate :). Don't wait for the pure GS models :(. @Paladin7221 He was very nice guy in first HH-novel though :). The helmet is pure GS. @Dràyhèn Yes, if I ever finish that squad that is :). En lähtisi tällä armeijalla vielä kentille, toinen armeija sentään alkaa olla kenttä valmis :D. Lil' update today people. I'm experimenting different washes this time, purple and green, for both armor and flesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Looking great :) The flesh bit looks really good. Is it just a combination of the purple + green washes over your standard bone recipe? Or did you make it more of a light bone color and wash? Heh, impurity seals always help! So do the spikes out of the legs as well. Maybe it's me, but i think WB seem to be the best Legion that represent alot of the horns/spikes on armor for some weird reason. I would also like to see this 4 bladed mace :P Keep up the great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 Thanks mate :). The fleshy bits are a little variation to my bone/cloth/flesh recipe. I covered things more with rotting flesh than I usually do, and instead of devlan mud wash, I used Leviathan Purple and Thraka Green washes for more unhealthy looks :blink:. I don't know if you've noticed that I also washed the armor with purple and green, instead of black this time. I don't know did it tie it up with differently washed flesh, 'cus I can't see the difference :mellow:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I think the Leviathan Purple wash has come through more on the armor, but even then, it's still hard to notice (still looks like your normal red to me! :P) But keep up the work with the flesh, looks great :tu: Be interesting to see how the mini looks once you've done more of the mini like that.

Dark Disciple Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 That Heretic looks very nice Kikkala :P I think the red looks quire dark, if you use some corroded metallics I think it will look very nurgly without loosing the Word Bearers look. Have to say though your sculpting skills are definatly improving. I love how your Apostle came out though I'll have to think of something else for my crozius now, haha Disicple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrus Manus Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Do you actually let the GS dry before you paint it? :huh: Good GS work, keep it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglephill Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 wow. this is one of the best threads on this or any other forum! i have one complaint and it is a big one.... RED NURGLE....ARE YOU MAD? anyway, that being said its your army thanks for sharing and inspiring phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 @TAS Thanks mate, the flesh really hit the spot :). @Dark Disciple Thanks, I've never painted corroded metal, so let's see how it turned out ;). @Ferrus Manus There have been cases when I've actually waited for the gs to dry :huh:. @nurglephill Thanks mate :). Well the WB have started few heresies, so... :P One week of idling behind, and finally I continued with Typhus today. I had some leftover gs, so I made this lil' guy, which I'll put on typhus' base when he's dried up. (Details are hard to see, but when I get my hands on that paintbrush...)

The Angelus Sanctus Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Very impressive! You also did a great job on the giant mace of doom, well done :lol: Safe to say you've put the existing Typhus model to shame! Looking forward to seeing some more paint splashed on :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazakelXIII Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Awesome - the gigantic mace looks quite scary. ;) Loving the decayed fleshtone, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 @TAS Hehe, thanks mate :). I wouldn't say it's as good as the typhus model. @RazakelXIII Thanks mate :). Oh, thanks for the blood recipe too ;). Instead of painting 'typhus', I continued with the other termies I had lying around. Well, I painted something :huh:. The cuddly lil' nurgling is so healthy looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
