son of nocturne Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Alrite Kik! Glad to see that your back to your IH, am impressed with your word bearers though, especially the dread your working on at the moment, great conversion. NOW WHIP TIME! Where is the librarian... ;) im kidding, i think that the MotF is an excellent distraction for us... for now... hehehe! Really like the skulpting that you have done on the MotF's helmet, it looks very appropriate for that character. Are we allowed some pre-paint pics of the completed bike? S.O.N. Ooh, and bluewolf74727 if you have a look back through the previous pages of this thread there is a tut on p2, but just have a thorough look as i may be wrong!

The Angelus Sanctus Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Hmm, SoN did make a good point there... Just where IS the Librarian Kik?

kikkala Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 Thanks for the comments! @Terminatorinhell Glad ya like 'em :). @ben rolls Trike could be nice, but I'll stick with regural bike :P . @I AM THE AWESOME Ode to me, oh my :D . @Firenze I checked Vassakovs tracked bike, I was trying to make exactly like his, but how does the bike turn? Maybe older ed. ork bikes had tracked rearside... @Wraithwing I actually own a attack bike, but I'll save him for maybe future bike squad, if I have time to do it. @bluewolf74727 As SoN mentioned my previos black tutorial is somewhere on this thread, but recently I've had thoughts doing all-around Iron Hand tutorial including how to do bionics + painting them. We'll see ;) . @SoN & TAS Damn it! I thought that everybody had forgotten librarian!! MotF wasn't as good distraction as I thought :lol: . So I decided to do a little suprise for you guys... mwahahaaa :) . What suprise? BIG suprise! It was easier to do body circling flames than circling energy thing. Flames are still WIP though.

The Angelus Sanctus Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Darn it! We ALMOST had you in trouble!! :lol: Nice work on the Lib Kik, glad to see the Lib model hadn't been sidelined completely in favor of the MotF. I swear any time i see your minis (WB or IH) it gives me cravings, and i don't like that!! :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/125973-iron-hands-of-irony/page/9/#findComment-1737909 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 Thanks bluewolf74727 and TAS :). Ah, monday... one of those days, when everything goes wrong :lol: . God dammit, I was trying go for blue robes again, but it didn't work at all, so tried going white instead. It still doesn't look right. Either my dark blue paint sucks or lower tabard sculpt sucks or both. And why does black shine so much even after badab wash? Rant rant rant, whine whine whine... Bleegh :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/125973-iron-hands-of-irony/page/9/#findComment-1739983 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 He looks fine to me. Your previous blue robes were fine i think. The only thing that was really needed was a darker blue in the folds (half way between your black and existing blue) and a lighter blue for high lights and ta-da. If you can i still think you should try and work on the blue again. Otherwise, he's looking good :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/125973-iron-hands-of-irony/page/9/#findComment-1740744 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewolf74727 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 try a dark red being Iron Hands Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/125973-iron-hands-of-irony/page/9/#findComment-1741263 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Good points there TAS, but the problem was the paint itself, as it from vallejo range, even if I shake properly it still comes with that unnatural gloss, which doesn't go away neither with mixing it GW ranges colors or GW washes. Time to invest on new dark blue :D . Also I painted the psychic flames light blue, so there would have been too much blue on the model. Bluewolf74727, you mentioned the dark red for robes, as it would give really unique look on libbie. But I'll stick with current color as I want the color palette to be "cold" so red would need lot of work not to be "warm" color. (Ok, there's red on the base. Looks better than the previos gray over brown bases.) Update: Basecoat for sword and parchments. Oh, question about the base, should I tone it done, or leave it like that? There's good chance I'll finish this one finally during the weekend. If there's time I'll start doing the all-around Iron Hand tutorial. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/125973-iron-hands-of-irony/page/9/#findComment-1744364 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustermaker Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 They lenses on the individual marines are amazing, I love the blue!

The Angelus Sanctus Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Given the blue psychic flames, it does look like going a non-blue robe color was a good idea :( And an IH tutorial? Gah, stop tempting me! :) Other than that, keep up the great work as always B) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/125973-iron-hands-of-irony/page/9/#findComment-1745229 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah kidding, I thought I had spare bolters, but I didn't :lol:. @Iron Corsair Thanks, I have you shown you the way of Ferrus Manus, so you can follow the path :P. I remember someone say that MotFs conversion beamer was too small... hahaaa Should be big enough now!

The Angelus Sanctus Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Suffice to say that Conversion Beamer looks like it's quite capable of shooting out the pain. Kudos to you on actually increasing the weapon's mass without actually going overboard. Although it looks big now, it doesn't look over-big. Well done :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/125973-iron-hands-of-irony/page/9/#findComment-1757706 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 You've inspired me to make my own Conversion Beamer...though..as of right now..its about the size of the upper part of my thumb knuckle to the tip...which probably means about 1/8th of yours...Oh boy. I've a long ways to go. =-D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/125973-iron-hands-of-irony/page/9/#findComment-1757739 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 @rezeki Yeah, bigger means better :P . @Ironblood Mwahaha :) , should be a sight so see! @TAS Thanks TAS, I was already addin' some more to gun, but I'll just do gun mouth and leave it like that. @Shortsonfire79 Either you overestimate size of my beamer, or you have freakishly small thumb :) . My beamer's lenght is around thumbs height. Verbal update this time. Started to do the base, the current base, which you can see from previous pic, was too small, so I'm buildin' a new base for him. I ran in to a small problem with MotF and the beamer, if I want to put the beamer in exact center of rear of the bike, MotFs backpack gets in the way. I have already cutted the bike in half and increased its length by adding some sprue between the bike parts, but backpack still gets in the way by little... oh boy.
