The Angelus Sanctus Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 ;) I'll update things when things stop being crazy over here!! And to think i thought i was going to have a "quiet" December period. A short break i think will do you well, as you said, giving your mind a rest to re-charge it's creative energy, will probably help out a lot. Plus it seems you have a few days grace period since you still have yet to work on the sgt of the squad ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 Thanks guys :P. I had a break today from sternguard. And then came revmatt with his fantastic tester IH, and urges started to rise... I wanted to go convert! I was able to resist the urges, but my mind is now filled with fresh ideas, ready to continue with new vigour ^_^. Next update shall contain more sternguard related stuff :P.

The Angelus Sanctus Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Looking forward to seeing the new stuff as it rolls out :lol: Tried doing some stuff last night, but yeah, i swear i can't model much whilst watching good tv :) But hey, it's the weekend now!

kikkala Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 Haha, never do two things at time, once I was drilling a pin hole, and was talking with brother at same time, and what you know, next time I look at the model, drill is buried in my finger :devil:. After some curse words, I continued with my work ;). 8th Sternguard. I think his helmet is Maximus pattern. Correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrus Manus Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Very cool, I'm guessing you got inspiration from a certain Iron Hands test model? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revmatt Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 He looks awesome Kikkala I love it. On a different note, I just noticed the IH box has jumped from £20 to £24.85 on the GW site! outrageous!! revmatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is evil, pure evil :lol: This one looks great kik, and yes that is a mk.4 maximus helm Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Is that a bit of sprue i see as a foot? ;) Heh, if so, you aren't the only one that has done it! <_< The 8th SG looks great ;) Although, how sturdy is the plasticard? I noticed you used some to make curved cabling, and i was wondering is it still sturdy enough to hold that shape without snapping? Or is it a fickle touch and go proceedure? Definitely looking forward to seeing what you do for the Sgt model :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 @Ferrus Manus Perhaps :P. @revmatt Thanks rev :). Now that price got higher, there's even more reason to do bionics by myself ;). @Asmodeus' Swordhand Thanks man :). @TAS I was forced to use sprue for foot, 'cus I dropped the original one and it went missing :lol: Cables bend rather well. But for bending the regural plasticard I recommend using pen or similar round object as helper, otherwise it snaps. 8th Sternguard done. And family.

Asmodeus' Swordhand Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 The eighth turned out much better than I had thought it would, great work man! You can't even tell that the foot is sprue ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Sprue feet i'm liking, after having done it once, it really isn't all that difficult, and it does still look really good. Plus, with all that sprue laying around, might as well start making feet out of it ;) So what's the plan for the last two SG? :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 @Asmodeus' Swordhand Thanks mate :D. @TAS Plan? Oh, I dunno ;). 9th Sternguard. I decided to go with kneeling pose, so other kneeling sternguard wouldn't be lonely. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Looks great :lol: are those proper kneeling legs? Or did you make up your own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 Thanks TAS :blush:. They're self-built :P. 9th sternguard finished. Not my best, gotta admit. The intimidating family. When there's veterans, there's aspirants. Speedpainting and painting-line experiment. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmodeus' Swordhand Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 That was really fast :D they look good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Corsair Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I like the Sternguard a lot, Kikkala! The Snipers are pretty cool as well, especially the Maroon colored cloaks. Keep up your excellent work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 You know, if I was a Iron Hand..like a brother. I'd want my augments in my calfs, since it'll help with running. Sprinting...and also because I'm a trend setter.. and everyone else has the thigh augments =-D Looking great at as a hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imagine28 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Awesome stuff! Really inspired me to some conversion work on my BTs. Just a question: do you prime your models when you paint them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Toddius Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Your stuff is coming along beautifully, sir. The Stern group is awesome. Screams IRON HANDS in a 70's Battlestar Galactica Cylon Voice. I've always kinda imagined IH scouts to be 'botz or servitor probes. Or a combination of typical scouts and some robotic aide. Almost like the drone snipers from tau. With your conversion skillz maybe thats a direction to ponder? :) Good job thus far. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Nice work Kik :tu: Can't wait to see the final SG hit the production line :) The Scouts look good! Are those the old models or the new ones? For some reason i'm leaning towards old since their chins look normal :lol: I'm going to pretend i didn't quite read Toddius' idea about IH scouts :ph34r: Like my brain doesn't have enough stuff jammed inside it already :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 @Asmodeus' Swordhand & Iron Corsair Thanks mates ^_^. @Shortsonfire79 Augmentic calfs eh? I'm pretty sure I've made couple of those ;)... yup, 4th and 8th sternguard :P. @imagine28 Glad to be help :). I always prime, by spray or hand if I can't use spray. @Master Toddius Thank you :). You've got some good ideas there. Atleast, if I get bored during x-mas vacation, I've got something to do ;). @TAS Thanks buddy. I got these metal scouts (not fun to chop and convert) second hand. So I just painted them. Sloooowly the last sternguard gets together. Any good progress? No, head got today 1st layers of GS. Blue-tacked for show. I've inducted some scouts to my army list, and I'm on verge to induct Srg. Telion (counts-as) too. Addinationally I did some planning and sketching for conversion. ++Warning!++ -I'm not good at drawing -I don't have a scanner, so I took a pic with camera -I don't know anything about anatomy ^_^ Here's a sketch for scout sergeant. I was planning to have augmented calfs and arms (of course), and stylish looking rebreather mask, but here's the deal. I would need a scout body to do it. Old metals are no-no, and plastic box goes to waste, as I'm only going to have 5-man scout squad. Maybe I'll buy Telion blister and we'll see where that takes me :), but you'll never know.

Snozz Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Scout box is only £2 more than Telion IIRC. Looking good, you are actually a god ^_^ I'm thinking about using an adaptation of your black scheme for my marines. With a bit of yellow and silver for flavour. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
