kikkala Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 @Captain Mick & RazakellXIII Thanks :). @Shortsonfire79 In due time, after Sternguard is finished, I'll take the army shot. @Master Toddius Glad you like it *bows*. @TAS Thanks buddy :D. Wait no longer for the next one! For the sixth sternguard, I went for more-plates look and tried my luck with rivets. Head needs more work though.

Asmodeus' Swordhand Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 This guy looks really promising. The thigh plates turned out great. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/125973-iron-hands-of-irony/page/13/#findComment-1789929 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Your plasticard-fu is strong :tu: I'm totally loving the work you've done on the IH Sternguard. Sure this makes me want to take some of your techniques and try them out myself (man, please don't start any more armies, following you on the trail of WB and IH is bad enough :lol:). Although it is a bit late now, you could have had the most comprehensive guide to modelling IH ever!! Granted your techniques look easy, but man, just having a resource like that would be a big boom to future IH players!

kikkala Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 @Shortsonfire79 & Asmodeus' Swordhand Thanks :). @TAS I suppose I could update the IH tutorial then, after I get more experience with plasticard first ;). @g-relk I'm intrigued. I'll contact you when I'm prepared. Iron Hands FTW!! :unsure: *runs to finish up the sternguard* 6th sternguard ready for painting.

NemFX Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Kikkala I have a serious question to ask you.. Did a bunch of reasonably good conversionists all commit ritual suicide to make you? Is that why your so awesome? Seriously. You make me quite envious. I mean, personally I don't like the idea of chopping up my marines to make them look more awesome, but after seeing what you've done, I'm wondering if I should, because your guys look freaking sweet.

The Angelus Sanctus Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 ;) i liked how between 3 posts i get to see 6th SG started and then to see in a post later 6th SG finished! Nonethless, you are really churning out some fantastic minis kik. I'm personally thinking you are putting the IH models that GW released to shame!!

kikkala Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 @captain kantor Thanks mate :). @Asmodeus' Swordhand Thanks, maybe I should revisit my older tactical squads perhaps ;). @Captain Mick Artist... ;) don't say that yet, I might disappoint you :D. @Terminatorinhell Thank you. *bows* @NemFX Nah, I just needed to sacrifice my soul some of my free time to actually try something new :). You would never get anywhere if you just settle on current stuff, because you can do anything if you'd just tried. Remember also that choppin' is goood. ;) @TAS & Shortsonfire79 I have my better days :P. Honestly, I could still learn thing or two. Ok, let's see... errrr... I have started with 7th sternguard. But today was super sucky day at job. Frustation is major feature in the model. Gonna start again with him. No pictures of him. So sucky sternie. *7th sternguard flies to pieces* Instead I have current family photo.

X-Slash-X Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 If I might request, how do you Paint your Iron/Copper parts? I'm looking to do a similar colour for my own Chapter, and have been having trouble with it. I've skimmed your thread a few times, but I have yet to find any info on how to paint like that. Would a guide be too much to ask? X-Slash-X Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/125973-iron-hands-of-irony/page/13/#findComment-1792933 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Cassern Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 kikkala; how DO you paint your whites? They look like they're almost glowing.. makes me kinda .. envious. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/125973-iron-hands-of-irony/page/13/#findComment-1792999 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 @captain kantor Haha, thanks mate :devil:. @X-slash-X I don't mind, I made a converting/painting tutorial for Iron Hands not long ago, here's a linky Click Me. You'll find metal recipe there, I hope that helps :lol:. @Brother Cassern Thanks mate, basically I paint white like this: basecoat with Ice Blue. Next is 4-5 layers of little water thinned white (I use VMC Foundation White), after that, little shading with Asurmen Blue, fix with white if you make mistakes. Phew, I actually got somewhere with 7th sternguard. I'm kinda worried right now, I don't usually have problems with converting the legs, but during last few days I've noted that I do easily mistakes, which I'd normally avoid with no prob. Anyone encountered something similar? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/125973-iron-hands-of-irony/page/13/#findComment-1793682 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asmodeus' Swordhand Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 aye, perhaps, but these sternguard look great. I'm really impressed with these last two.

The Angelus Sanctus Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Perhaps ease down on the throttle somewhat kik? Although the models you are producing look fantastic, maybe you are trying to produce them too quickly, so your mind doesn't feel like it's fully achieved the desired effect? Either way, 7th SG looks great :) Managed to get some plasti-tube bits today from the LGS, so HOPEFULLY i'll be able to play around with some of that soon too!

kikkala Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 @X-Slash-X Your welcome :). @Paladin7221 I hope it's not contanious :P. Or permanent :whistling:. @Asmodeus' Swordhand Thanks mate. @TAS Maybe I should take a break for day or two, to rest my mind :P. I'm waiting for your updates :). 7th Sternguard finish'd. And the obligatory family photo. 3 more to go. At this point I know that I'll do the sarge last. I was wondering should I give him a power weapon? Waste of points or real life saver? Those who have experience with sternguard, please share your thoughts. *Edit* I have been busy poster :D 300 posts, and more to come (I hope).
