Ferrus Manus Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Well kikkala, for someone who: -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 Thats not a bad sketch and im looking forward to seeing the final product.

The Angelus Sanctus Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Somehow, given that WIP of the i assume SG Sgt, i think you could probably model a Telion model that would be well suited in an IH force! The sketch is great, i've been thinking about heading back into the sketching domain as well so i don't forget ALL my ideas. It's handy to do, since it helps visualise and record ideas. Plus they are only sketches, they don't need to look great B) Can't wait to see more! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 @Snozz Maybe I should reconsider the boxed set . Feel free to use the black scheme. @revmatt Thank you . @Ferrus Manus Glad ya like my scrap. Scout sergeant will future project, not too future though :P. @TAS Thanks mate . I've done sketch for every major project I've done to this point, like MotF for example. And I'm really good at forgetting things , so sketches to the rescue! Legs are almost finished, so is torso, head in the other hand not. And I was planning to give some sort of servo-arm to backpack, with searchlight or something. The pose is rip-off from.... who?

Firenze Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Sweeet.... Nice sarge. And by the way you can draw quite well. I'm an artist and that is good for a quick sketch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShotgunFacelift Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 None too sure about the pose... But I like the leg armor design! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 The pose isn't hitting me... Although it reminds me of some HH art... Or maybe revmatt's IH test mini... Otherwise, noclue, but either way, the mini looks great. Question however, how did you go about doing the head? Looks like a combination of IG binoculars, the bottom of a SM head and bits of plasticard all held together with GS B) A shame we didn't get to see your earlier sketches for units and models! I'm sure it would have been great to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Colossus Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 The pose looks suspiciously like Cassius... Although I could well be wrong... Awesome minis dude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-relk Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 that looks sweet! i reckon the pose is ripped off from the special ed. sterngaurd sergeant from the online store chang-over. either way, he looks sweet. with all this work your doing on your blog, i might have to resurect mine, ive still been building gy=uys, just not taking pics or anything. havent painted anything in ages, so i might start that soon (need the weather to clear up before i can spray undercoat them though) keep up the good (and very quick may i add) work cheers charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 @Firenze & Asmodeus' Swordhand Thank you :D. @ShotgunFaceLift Glad ya like it :). @TAS I'm not sure where I got the binoculars, but anyway, I used binoculars, SM captain head (bare head with rebreather), Gs and plasticard ^_^. I usually don't save any scraps, when I've finished the model, sketch goes to trashbin. @The Colossus Thanks, good guess, but wrong ;). @g-relk Thanks mate, you mean the one, when you buy certain amount of stuff from Online Store, you'll get it free? Nope, not that one either :P. I've pretty much finished converting the sarge. None got the right answer where I did rip-off the pose (it seems that many other models got same lower body pose). If you don't get the answer this time, I'll be worried :P. Note that the model has around 70 studs. Took the most of my converting time :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmodeus' Swordhand Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 wow, that is totally wicked. Is there any chance that the left hand may be off a bit though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Pretty sure its Chronus. Looking good. Very Iron Hand-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kikkala Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 @Asmodeus' Swordhand Hmm, might be the blue-tack distorting the arm. Let's hope it ain't like that when I glue it :P. @Shortsonfire79 Thanks, but pose ain't from Chronus, sorry :D. @shadowfire Thanks mate :). Pose ain't from Motf either :P. @TAS Thanks buddy, paints has splashed :D. Sergeant finish'd. Seriously, I'm the only one who thinks the pose is rip-off from Inquisitor Lord Coteaz? (pic from GW site) http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m1251758_99110107001_INQDHCoteazretinuemain_445x319.jpg Happy family, the whole family!

Asmodeus' Swordhand Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 damn... coteaz! I never would have thought ;) yes the hand looks much better now. I really think you should use some stronger highlights on the studs, as they don't really show up right now, and you wouldn't want to waste all that work would you? *encouraging smile* :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Toddius Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 It was a long process but you did a great job and have earned a squad to be proud of. Great work, Mr. K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Yeah i can see some similarities in the two poses now. The Sgt looks great, you've done a fantastic job <_< Any plans on what the next project will be ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 @Asmodeus' Swordhand Thanks mate, I painted studs like the armor, but perhaps they were drowned with wash :cuss. @Pulse Thank you. @Desert Eagle Neither do I :P. Realistically, my work looks like crap when compared with your amazing work :cuss. @revmatt Well thank you kind sir :). @warflag Thanks mate. @g-relk Thanks, I have lots of stuff for next projects. @Master Toddius Thank you *bows* @TAS Thanks man. Lots of project(-ranting) coming up. Ok, next project... eeeh. Recently I've been working with the army lists, by working, I mean that I've actually been working with the army list. Wondering and pondering all the different options I could take. Or shoudn't ;). On my 1000p list only thing what is missing is Telion proxy model. Tomorrow I'll hit the stores and buy box o' scouts, so I can get started with Telion. Now that I have mentioned special characters... both Kantor and Lysander look really appealing! At this point I'm going to include Kantor (of course proxy) on my 1500p list. And Lysander, well, I'll convert and paint him, for reserve. He could give some close combat skill, which my army is lacking now. I could also include a squad of Assault Terminatorts as well, but I can't decide... TH/SS combo, oh those 3+ invunerable saves, or LCs to max. out attacks. Also, I'm thinking to ditch the devastator squad, I could get Thunderfire Cannon for cheaper. I would need to bolster my devastator squads numbers to increase survivability, but that costs... instead I could just shoot from huge range with thunderfire cannon, with Master of the Forge on its side. Plus :cry: the scratchbuilding. Now let's talk about transportation. I'm on the verge here, which to use: Drop Pods or Rhinos? Yes, all-drop pod army would be a sight to see, but they're really hard to scratchbuild. In the other hand, rhinos could be easier to scratchbuild and their mobility is greater, but they're so often used by others. Choices, choices, choices. :D There just came lots of word-crap. Now time for pictures! These are not a 'uge project, but I'm ditching those lascannons out of my tactical squads, and replace them with heavy bolters. Hey, atleast I got some meaning for these 2 marines :D (they were on tutorial). There's also something.... crimson on the horizon... *evil laugh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 If it's Crimson Fists, i won't be joining you! :lol: If you mean generic 'crimson' being red, if it's Blood Ravens, then doh, i will probably follow you! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
