synapse Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 the photos really bring out every minute imperfection, though - they look much smooher in real life :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/130525-pre-heresy-truescale-worldeaters/page/9/#findComment-1580450 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha PTP Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Are you going to go back with GS and 'sharpen' the edges of the armor, if you will? Right now they need it pretty badly. I want to see some paint on those guys soon, synapse. ;) I still think the arms are going to look short on them, by the way. I'll hold my final judgment till the models are done.

synapse Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 some parts (mostly the EC) need it, though the grey knight for instance, is pretty good, despite what the photo seems to think ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/130525-pre-heresy-truescale-worldeaters/page/9/#findComment-1580693 Share on other sites More sharing options...
synapse Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 not world eaters, i know, but hey :lol: http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1299.jpg imperial fist. pretty bland. i need to add some bling, lots of studs (which need to wait until i get superglue) and a cape with detail. also need to add armour to bracers to make them more like iron armour. http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1298.jpg please let me know what you think about the eagle. if it were for myself, id be pleased but since its a commission im not too sure. the eyes are bugging me. and yes, i know there are no feet ;) http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1300.jpg grey knight torso, showing twisty detail and belt (round buckle piece not yet added) and grey knight icon yet to be added to the smoother-than-it-looks chest C&C please!

wiplash Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 for the eagle on his chest i'd say take them away, although they look VERY wonky in that pic i love the imperial fist although and the grey knight looks cool aswell Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/130525-pre-heresy-truescale-worldeaters/page/9/#findComment-1597131 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wulfgarr Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I think there is nothing wrong with the eagle,leave it but yeah cover up the eyes.It seems to me the problem with them is scale.You did the eagle itself great keeping with the scale of the armour,but when it came to the eyes they became to big.The armour would have to be 1-1and half sizes bigger for those eyes to work.Great work really enjoy your work.

Master_Aerethos Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Hey synapse, Your thread has inspired me to start work on some true-scale World Eaters, albeit post-heresy :D I was wondering if you might have any advice for me, concerning pretty much any aspect of the process. My plan is to use Chaos termie legs, Berserker bodies (and I'm wondering how much of a difference it will actually make to bulk them up), various Ork arms (for that overly muscle-ated look), a couple of SM termie thunder hammer arms, and many other various bits. So, essentially, I want to know if you think I have the right idea concerning bitz. If I should use different torsos, since I'll end up sculpting them up anyways, & really any other various advice you may have. I plan to push myself in various ways with this project, especially with converting, sculpting, painting, & *GASP* finishing five models. Thanks, Master_Aerethos.

Patrick O))) Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I don't think you need to necessarily get rid of the eyes. They're just the wrong shape; pinch them together to make slits and it should look fine. And if memory serves, only one of the eagles has an eye Otherwise, looking good :D waiting on a camera so's I can display my true-scale attempts so far Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/130525-pre-heresy-truescale-worldeaters/page/9/#findComment-1607930 Share on other sites More sharing options...
synapse Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 well im considering what to do with regards the EC, especially since i may cast the legs and torsos of these guys. a multi-crappy-pic update 1) Terminator painting WIP http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1354.jpg looks pretty crap for now. fingers crossed it gets better 2) blood angel http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1346.jpg um... same story here pretty much. painting these 'scratchbuilt' models really does make me appreceate the value of neat GS work. many mistakes i make while sculpting that i think will be covered up by painting are in fact made all the worse by a coat or 2 of paint. invisible in the pic is the beginnings of a very subtle feathering on the red, blending it into orange. more on this as it progresses (maybe :P) 3) Grey knight http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1338.jpg since its a non paint update, im pleased with this one! overall im pleased with the pose on this one, and the GS is ok too. continued: Imperial fist WIP http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1334.jpghttp://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1335.jpghttp://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1336.jpg im really pleased with this model. the cloak came ok and the studs look ok, bar some filing down their edges to make them a bit rounder. all thats left is the addition of a fist on the chest and some mistake fixing on the shoulder pads the bracers need touching up as i got a finger print on the right one (doh!)

ImperialTemplari Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Hey synapse, great work, they really look the part, the only thing I think could be improved it the backpack, it now looks to small on the figure. otherwise great work.

I think the eagle looks great, the eyes look a bit strange though. But what I want to know is how did you go about creating the eagle. Its too cool not to pass on the knowledge.

synapse Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 well the model is coming along pretty well. i tend to paint in a haphazard manner so some parts in the pic below may already be highlighted and shaded, while others will not even have been basecoated. i paint as parts of the model take my fancy, and have always done so pretty much from the start. i tend to paint lower things first (skin --> under garments --> armour --> cloaks etc) though not religiously. in the case of this guy i painted the head seperately and then glued it on when the armour surroudning his face was largely done. other than that, the thing i made sure i painted first was the white armour, wince it was the lowermost part on the model save the face and because its the most obvious ,being mostly white and all the leather tassles i painted in terracotta, which provides a good midtone to the red wax of the seals and the brown cloak. note to self: cloak is painted 1:1:1:1 scorched brown, chaos black, khemri brown, scab red. ^_^ http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1361.jpg guardsman is there for scale (no the chaplai ndoes not have a traitor guard croney!)

synapse Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 ok, the model is nearing completion. but... i do tend to paint in a BAD way, so while ive added the blood splatters, i think i should note that things like the cloak and the lion head havent even been started yet. all part of my madness :) http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1366.jpg detail shouwing the half-done world eater symbol http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1369.jpg this is also the pic with colours closest to the real thing. and just to show what isnt done yet (amongst other things): http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/HPIM1371.jpg excuse the flash in that last one!

synapse Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 hey what do you know? he's done, kinda. i also took the time out to take some semi decent photos to show him off and i think theyre very close to the true colours i used http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/terminator_front.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/terminator_side.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x15/voropohaiah/terminator_back.jpg and there i was worrying the cloak was gonna be crap :huh: im really pleased with the cloak, as i was kinda doubtful since i scultpet it and i knew the detail wasnt great. they you know what? this isnt some poncy emperor's children banner, so it doesnt need to be perfect, indeed the smoke/dust/blood stains reinforce the idea. im a bit disappointed that the WE symbol covered up the feathering i done on the blue, which came out pretty well (good practice for the eldar army ill be starting soon... shh) this was my first experiment with the foundation washes and my verdict: cool, but they shouldnt be a replacement for the old inks as both are very differnt on one another. theyre very good at glazing, though i didnt get much chance to try out anything else on this model (again, ill wait for the eldar army to try that!) left to do is the guys name on the scroll on his left shoulder pad and some heraldry on the little shield on the same arm. im also really thinking about changing the abse colour, since the pink/red clashes with all the blood on the models. maybe change the grey stone to limestone and the martian dust to normal desert colour?

Alpha PTP Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 All I can offer for advice is that you should get some paint-on dullcoat and do it on all of your models. After you do that, get a paint-on gloss coat and do that on the blood splatters/gems. I think it would give it a really cool effect. Fantastic models. The sculpts you have been working on other than your World Eaters are coming along nicely. I was very wrong about them when they first started. I cannot wait to see more of your stuff. Some of my favorite true-scale stuff on the board.

wiplash Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 the blood on the leegs and crozius looks too thick either addd more colours to give more depth or patch through the armour ect. i think the cape is ausome and so is the lion! although there is quite a large gap between the lion and the armour :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/130525-pre-heresy-truescale-worldeaters/page/9/#findComment-1616879 Share on other sites More sharing options...
