Red-Dragon Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Hey Nice models.Youve done a really good job with the modeling and the painting well done :) I look forward to seeing more. Keep up the good work ^_^ From The Red Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corax_rg Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 Thanks Red. I'm at school right now so no updates :P But im in the process of painting my 5th and final possessed, so updates soon. I've also finished touching up Ahriman, so i'll get some decent photos of him. Termies are magnetised and sprayed and i have raptors to spray. I'll move onto the raptors next, but the bases seem really flimsy, any tips on how to strengthen it? Thanks.

Red-Dragon Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Hey I cant wait to see your other models ;) Oh,and with the bases you could always stick one pence pieces onto the bottom...gives it more weight and more strength.Hope that helped.

Pandora Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Not a fan of blood on weapons tbh, and it takes the eye's attention away from the model, but apart from, not bad. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corax_rg Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 Its not acctually supposed to be blood, its a crap attempt at a powersword glow ;) I'll re do it when time is more permitting :D EDIT: As for the bases, it was more the flame things, there not snapping whenever i touch them, its just for re assurance :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corax_rg Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 Update time! Straight to the point then. Ahriman, finally finished. :) The first of my possessed. The second of my possessed. The third of my possessed. The fourth of my possessed. That it for now, there is still another possessed figure in progress, im finding it difficult to find time to paint due to school work. Comments and critisism welcome as usually :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt Stabby Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Well thats a sinister looking bunch youve got there :nuke: You have some great painting and modelling skills brother. How did you do the repositioned arm on that marine in your first post? Cheers -Sgt Stabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corax_rg Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 Why thank you Sgt stabby ! :) I cut the arm off just above the elbow. I drilled a hole in the stump, and fitted in a paper clip just longer than i wanted the arm to be. I then greenstuffef around the pape clip leave about 1/2 mm sticking out past the wrist. A small sphere of green stuff acted as the palm of the hand. One tiny piece of paper clip acted as the pointing finger. I then green stuffed the finger in, and i just used greenstuff for the other three fingers and the thumb. Hope this helped, if not Pm me and ill go into more depth, sorta short of time right now. UPDATE: painted some more of the possessed marine still to come. Give me a day or two and he'll be up here along with the other "sinister bunch" :D Thanks everyone.

Sgt Stabby Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Nah thats a fine explanation :D im gonna try that out when i get a tactical squad box set...probably for the sergeant. Anyway cant wait to see the rest of the possesed marines. -Sgt Stabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Unfortunately hardly any of the shadings have appeared on these photos. Which is a bummer, they do look a lot nicer than portraited in those pictures. Damn camera phones eh. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phosis Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 FINALLY, someone who doesn't paint Ahriman's under robe blue.. Kudos to you, pal. The stuff looks great. Good job on the yellow- I prefer lots of gold on my guys, but you pull it off just fine. I want to see more of your stuff. -jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Dragon Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Hey The fifth possesed kicks ass!I really like the way youve painted your army and those wings are really nice.There from the possesed box set right? Keep up the good work my friend. From The Red Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corax_rg Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 Thanks phosis. So, someone else who thinks Ahriman does NOT suit a blue under robe :( I can't remember why i chose yellow, but im sure there was a good reason. And thanks Red-dragon. Yes, they are from the possessed box. Verbal update (sorry, no images): I started to paint the raptor champion. Its coming along well, i think. Due to the lack of trim, im doing the left shin guards yellow. ( Both shin plates on the champion ) Dont know how it will turn out yet, but you'll know when i do. Thanks for all your interest.

Red-Dragon Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Hey Sounds good,i look forward to seeing them :( and Wicked,definatly need a box of possesed.Keep up the good work mate. From The Red Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosis Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 :rolleyes: If you are accepting to painting input, I have something that won't cramp your style at all... Since the non-thousand sons models just have plain undecorated armor plating in some areas, you can select a few empty shin guards and paint black lines down them, then do the yellow strips over that. It gives a very "Asuar' mek ma-at kerhef" look (the Osiris striped blue and yellow crest of everlasting life, which most pharaohs wore.) to models who don't already have the lines on their armor, and would fill in some of your solid blue areas like should pads. Also, you can paint gloss on the flesh, to make them suitably ethereal. ^_^ Just suggestions, but listen to your black and withering heart over me. -jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corax_rg Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 By that do you mean have yellow and blue stripes? And do you have any models that show this? For inspiration purposes of course. And thanks :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosis Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 You have the models- The helmet head crest on the thousand sons helmets. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
